Is HELD AS CHILD POls0NER
Ocoato County YouFg Woman Ac-
cssed Of Causing Death Which
Occurred IN February, 1910.

Green Bag.-MIss Mettie Christen-
SEN Is years Of age, OF Surfing, Ocon-
to county. has been arrested by
Sheriff Burns, and charged with
causing the death Of Hlda Nelson,
aged Z years, on Feb. 3, 1910. 1t Is
alleged that the woman fed the little
girl poisoned candy. The child died
in commissions.
Miss Christensen waived prelimi-
nary examination and will be held
to the next term of court. She stout
ly denies having had any part in the
death OF the Nelson girl, and main
tains that her innocence will be
proven when the case comes up.
1t is said that an effort is to be
made to have the woman examined
for her sanity before her trial, as sew
eral of her neighbors and close
friends say that her mind is deranged
and cite numerous instances to sup
port their claims.
1t is said that a paper bag. contain
ing candy was found on the door
steps Of the Nelson home by two
dressmakers who lived there. These
dTessmakers supposed that it was in
tended for the Nelson children, it is
said, SO they did not touch it. Later
the children came into possession of
the alleged poisonous sweets and ate
OF it. The girl died a short time
later, it is said, but the life of a
5-year-old boy was saved by physi-
clans.
