STILL UNSoLvED.
Poison Believed to Have Caused Death
of Four.

Philadelphia, Jan. 9,-Independent in
vestigations by the police and the coron-
or have failed to solve the mystery of
the four persons found dead in Twen-
ty-fourth street house Saturday. The
dead are: Mrs. Bridget Flanagan, 3s
wears of age; her daughter, Annie, aged
10; an adopted child, 10 months old, and
Catherine Murray, Is years of age.
Mrs. Hanna Curran and her daughter,
who were taken i'll Saturday night, are
recovering.
The four found dead slept in one
room and the others taken i'll spent Sat
urdav in an adjoining room.
The police are searching for William
Flanagan, husband of the dead womans
He disappeared from his home about ten
DAYS ago. The police do not suspect him
OF having any knowledge of the affair,
but desire to examine him nevertheless.
When the bodies were found the po-
lieced believed that coal gas had done
the deadly work, but when it was learned
that other persons in the house had not
been ill, they turned to the poison theory.
1t is believed by the police and coroner
that poison in the milk and tea that
formed part of Saturday evenings meal
caused the deaths.
