Jail-Arsenic Found il Choco-
lateS Given TO Boy.
Especial to The Raformcg.1


IN l.f4\ r.. n Bl.. jan. lJ.
Mrs. EGic l.. McrriHrld Of Troy was
taken from the j; IL torr yesterday ana
arraigned before JadZe ltl"tts in the
Troy district court on the charge of
attempted murder. IT Wa alleged that
she sent u box Of poisoned candy to
Niles Howe, a laG OF Ii aHd :; next-door
.neighbor. She Wa, represented by
Joseph Madden and entered a plea Of
not guilty. There was sufficient cvi-
dence to hold her TOR the grand Jury
OF the April term Of the superior court
The allegation is OF such q grave char
acter that Is is beyond the jurisdiction
of the district court 10 fN bail.
The prosecuting attorneys in the ease
were County Solicitor .. f. Cain and
Charles Madden. They introduced
evidence which showed that feud
existed between the two families. There
was evidence which tended to show
that Mrs. Mortified left the box of
chocolates for the Howe boy at Christ
mas time at the church. The box was
not opened until the following day.
Nine out of the l9 pieces Of chocolates
in the box had been opened and three
grains of white arsenic inserted in
each piece. The candy was sent to the
state chemist at Concord for analysis
Mrs. Merrifeld denied having left the
box of candy at the church or having
lseen the box.
1t was not believed that Mrs. Merri
field held any particularly i'll feeling
toward the lad, but She was said tc
be not on good terms with Mrs. Sadi,
Howe, the boys mother. Mrs. Merri
field is married aud has three children
Mr.. Merrifeld did not attend the hear
ing in Troy. The respondent wa.
brought back to the local jail, wher,
; she probably will remain until the sit
ting of the grand jury in April Bal
, may be secured for the woman by
petition to the superior court judge
: but it probably would be Of Iare
, amount.

both sides. None Of the deputies were in
iured- Most of the wounded men We're
shot through the legs.

carrying the wounded away. 1t was said
