KILLING
OF FIVE
CHARGED

Hartford. Conn. Sept. 22.-Mrs. Amy
e. Archer Gilligan, charged with
poisoning five inmates Of her home for
elderly people at Windsor, was indict-
ed for first degree murder on Ave
counts by the grand jury late yester-
day. Benedict M. Holden, counsel for
Mrs. Gilligan, announced he was not
ready to proceed with the trial and
Judge M. S. Shumway ordered the
case continued to the December term
of the superior court. Mrs. Gilligan
pleaded not guilty and was remanded
to the county Jail without bonds.
The state alleges that Mrs. Gilligan
poisoned the following persons:
Mrs Maude Lynch, Of Lakeville. on
Feb. 21, 1915; Franklin q. Andrews,
of Cheshire, on May 80, 1914; Charles
A. Smith, Of Waterbury, on April 8,
1914; Michael w. Gilligan, second hus-
band Of the accused, on Feb. 20, 1914,
and Mrs. Alice Gowdy, OF Hartford,
Dec. 8, 1914.
Mrs. Gilligan was arrested last May
specifically charged with the murder
Of Mr.. Andrews, whose body had been
secretly exhumed. Since that time
four other bodies have been exhumed
and the state alleges that evidence
of a powerful poison was found in all
the. bodies. All the deaths occurred
at the Archer home.
Most OF the inmates were admitted
to the home, the state claims, after
contracts had been signed providing
for life care upon payment OF $1,000.

Washington. Sept. 22.-Prosecution
of the alleged blackmailers' gang
whose operations were uncovered by
arrests in Chicago and elsewhere will
be followed up with renewed Vigor as
result Of the two-days' conference
here Of special department OF justice
agents, which concluded yesterday af-
ternoon. All of the directing heads Of
the investigation who have been put
ting their information together and
matching various angles SO as to
tighten the governments net about
members of the gang, left for their
homes tonight.
At the conference it was determined
that Assistant Attorney General John
c. Knox of New York will have COM
plete charge Of the prosecution. Final
those accused of victimiZing Mrs.
Regina S. Klipper in New York and
taking her under duress to Montreal
was also reached. A concentration
upon Frank Crocker as the leading
witness for the government was also
determined upon.
Crocker, the government investigat-
ors said, has made a complete con-
fession Of his part in the case Of Mrs.
Klipper. Government agents are
carefully guarding information of his
whereabouts as the result Of threats
made against him by his associates
because he turned informer. He Will
be closely guarded until he tells his
story in the federal court at New
York when the Klipper case is brought
up next month.
The government agents today talk
ed over their evidence with Assistant
Attorney General Wallace. Mr.. Wal
lace had nothing to say afterward, but
1t is claimed at the department that
the government has ample evidence
in the Klipper case and in other cases
that are to follow. The investigation,
however, will be continued with a
possibility of more arrests.
