New York. Feb! ss.7rhe mystery Of
the death of eight schiIdren. the oldest

infants. In the Bpsokiyn nursery. an
infants hospital. since Sunday. was ex-
pected today to be solved by a chemi-
fcal analysis OF the contents Of the
stomachs OF two Of the dead children.
An irritant poison believed to be oxalic
acid. mixed with lime water. and milk,
was indicated by an autopsy.
All Of the poisoned babies were in
one ward and there are only four chill
dren Of that ward who have not shown
symptoms Of poisoning. The physi-
clans scout the idea that the children
suffered from any disease Of which
they were not cognizant.
Coroner Woost said the suggested
theory was that some hospital attend
ant afflicted with homocidal mania had
administered the poison.
