CLAIM PRETTY GIRL
POISONED S 7

Massillon. Ohio, March 24.-At a pre-
liminary hearing before Mayor Rem
ley this morning Catherine Manse en-
tered a plea of not guilty to the charge
of murder in the first degree.
The 1~6-year-old girl, who spent last
night in a prison cell under a charge
of murder. faces today a long cross
examination as to the death of her
eister. Elizabeth, to whom she says she
gave a mysterious tablet Friday not
long before the elder girl fell dying
to the floor.
In her con fused first story to the
chief of police and the oroner, the
prisoner said she had purchased a
drachm of strychnine for a man, who
later presented her with two capsules
to give her sister. She has declined to
tell who this man Is and the police
are inclined to believe he Is but a fig
mcnt of her imagination.
1t is known, however, that she had
close acquaintances among young men
Of the town and that her love of
clothes and her extravaganza led her
into many escapades. Her male friends
will be called upon to tell what they
know of her and of her relations witt
her sister.
