Experiences.
WOMAN NEVER A USER
Police Begin Inquiry Among
Those Who Have Partaken
of Seasoning"

Chicago, Nov. S.-The police today
interviewed a number of persons who
had partaken of food at Mrs. Louise
Vermilya's home, asking them about
pepper box from which the woman las
Saturday is alleged 10 have given her
self poison. Her relations with frater-
nal insurance organizations also is be
ing Investigated.
Mrs. Vermilya this afternoon was
stricken with severe nausea, and IL
was feared she again had attempted
suicide by poisoning.
If the fatal box could tell OF the do
iugs in death fiat It is supposed the
Investigators would have to go no fur
ther to solve the mystery surrounding
the death of three of Mrs. Vermilys's b
Iodgers. But since the box cannot talk,
a party of detectives. lawyers and stem
ographers started to learn all they
can from the people who saw it.
HALF DOZEN MADE ILL.
They will take detailed statements
from everybody known to have eaten
at the .Vermiya fat during the last
FIVE years. Already it has been learn
ed that not fewer than half a dozen
persons other than those who died
were victims of severe Illness after
eating at the fiat.
Two Witnesses were found yester-
day who recalled having seen the
brown pepper box on the dining table
h,y
Vermilya. Their statements contra
dict hers. She has insisted that she
knowingly placed the rat poison In the
box and never under any circum.
stances would have placed it on the
dining table.
The chief difficulty found by the de-
tectives in questioning Witnesses thus
far is that they have trouble recalling
whether the pepper box was on the
table when they ate.
BROTHER RECALLS BOX.
Archie Bissonette, brother of Arthur
T. Bissonette, whose sudden death In
the fat precipitated the present inves-
tigation, has a better memory for the
facts, however.
Archie, who will be asked TO make
an affidavit for use by the prosecutors.
has told of a dime" at the Vermilya
fat two weeks before his brothers
death. The dinner in question was
served on a Sunday evening and the
younger Bissonette is convinced that
ore of the chief ingredients of the ban
quet was arsenic.
BssOnette said he had gone to the
fiat TO visit his brother. when Mrs.
Vermilya asked that they eat dinner
there. Both men accepted the invita-
tion. Half an hour later the meal was
served by Mrs. Vermilya, who had
placed but two plates on the table
Archie said he expressed surprise
that their hostess should not dine with
them, but that his brother said she
seldom ate at the table when enter
taining visitors.
One thing Archie is certain Of is that
the little pepper box occupied a place
on the table. Also he is certain that
he hardly had reached home when be
was seized with violent pains In the
stomach and vomiting fits.
ILL SEVERAL DAYS.
His symptoms were exactly like
those that preceded the death Of his
brother, but for the fact that they wcre
less severe. The pains aud other
symptoms continued for several DAYS.

suit.
