A certain young minister in Phila-

do not convey exactly the meaning he
intended. A few Sundays ago he rose,
fumbled with the papers on his desk,

were agreed that GONE day the young

Mrs. Mary kelleher Is Held on This
Charge at Boston-The Victims
Were All Relatives.

Boston, Mass, March 27.-Not
since Jane Toppan was convicted
more than decade ago of the whole
sale poisoning of her friends and rel
atives has this section of New Eng
land been so stirred over a poison
mystery as it has been this week by
the development in the case of Mrs.
Mary Kelleher, the Someryille woman
who has been indicted on the charge
of numbering four members of her
family AS in the case of the Top
pan woman Mrs. Kelleher is alleged
to have killed her victims by admin
istering arsenic in their food.
The persons alleged to have been
killed by Mrs. Kelleher are: Annie
7. Kelleher, aged 81, sister of Mrs.
Kelleher's husband, who died March
1, 1906; Mary Kelleher, 8 years old,
daughter of Mrs. Kelleher, who died
Nov. IL, 1906; William Kelleher, 10
years old, son of Mrs. Kelleher, who
died JAN IA, 1908, and Katherine M.
Kelleher, IL years old, eldest child of
Mrs. Kelleher, who died July 90, 1908.
The case of Mrs. Kelleher first
came under public notice last Deem
| Der when she was arrested on
charge of setting fire to the house Of
Prof A. J.. Lowell of Harvard, by
| whom she was employed as a do
nestle.
The bodies of the four persons who
are now alleged to have been victims
of poison were buried in an Airing
ton cemtery, and remained there until
after suspicion was aroused by DR..
M. w. White of Somerville, who call
ed the attention of the police to the
successive deaths in the Kelleher
household. An investigation was Or
dered and the bodies were disin,
tered. Traces of arsenic are said to
have been found in all of the bodies
The police also found that life insur
ance had been paid to Mrs. Kellehel
after the death of each member Of
the family.
1t is understood that the case Of
the state is based on the claim thai
Mrs. Kelleher was the person who
had exclusive opportunity to admin
lister the poison, and that she was the
/
only person to benefit in pecuniary
sense from the death of those who
died. 1t is the claim of the police
. that during the brief illness of eacf
one Mrs. Kelleher employed no nurse

have had a number of interviews
with her. but she has baffled them by
her dexterous wit.
