POISONING CASE STIRS PARIS.
Police Search House of Pierre Ber-
ton, the Author, for CIews.

Paris, Aug H-The police have search
ed the residence Of Pierre Berton. au-
thor Of "zara." at Paimboeuf. This
move is made in connection with an al
legged attempt at poisoning, which is
the sensation OF Paris. The story was at
first disregarded, az it was based mere
~ on information given out by the serv-
ants. but they chung so firmly to their
statements that the investigation was
ordered
Berton and his wife, as we'll as his son
Claude and the latters wife and her two
children. are staying at their seaside
villa.
The servants insist that they often saw
white powder on plates served by the
elder Nine. Berton to her daughter-in-
law. once she gave her some soup,
which was left untouched, and when il
was fed to a dog the animal became VIC
lently sick. The servants informed the
family doctor. who in turn told the
younger woman. She left the house on
August during the absence Of her
mother-in-law. This gave rise 10 much
local gossip, as a result Of which the
servant were discharged. They wrote
to the police.
Claude. who was in Paris at the time,
fastened to his fathers country home
and compelled his wife to return. She
confirmed the whole story as il was told
to the police but does not accuse the
elder Mime. Berton.
