CLEW FROM TOMB
ACCUSES WOMAN
Proprietor of Home for
Aged Arrested After Night
Raid and Secret Autopsy.

Hartford, Conn, May s.-Mrs. Mary
E. Archer Gilligan, proprietor of the
Archer House for Elderly People, in
Windsor, six miles from here, was ar
rested by the state police at o'clock
tonight, charged with murder.
She is accused of causing the death
by poisoning Of Franklin r. Andrews,
an inmate, who died on May 80, 1914,
from gastric ulcers, according TO the
certificate of death made by DR.. II. +
King, of Windsor, attending physician
and also medical examiner Of the town
OF Windsor.
The body of Andrews was dislnterred
from the Cheshire cemetery one week
ago, in secrecy and at night, BY direc-
tion of Coroner Mix of New Haven
County, and an autopsy was performed
by DR.. Arthur j. Wolff, of this city,
by direction of States Attorney Alcorn
and under the guidance of State Po-
liceman Robert F. Hurley. The body
of another former inmate has also
been examined, and instead of death
being the result OF natural causes, DIR
Wolff states that it was caused by
poison.
The state police have been working
on this case for more than year, an
il is their opinion that out Of forty
eight deaths at the home in FIVE years
probably twenty have been the result
OF violence. Mrs. Gilligan waived ex-
animation and was taken 10 the Hart
ford County Jail.
Mrs. Gilligan, who was held without
bond for the Jure term Of the Superior
Court, made a complete denial OF the
charges.
According to state police, Mrs.
Archer -Gilligsn, who is forty-one years
old, first conducted home for aged
people at NewiEgton, Conn, in 1901.
She moved to Windsor in 1907, and
has since COZ Quoted the home there in
Prospect Street. There are fifteen
patients there now.
She first married James II. Archer,
who died in 1910. In November, 1918.
she married Michael ". Gilligsn, who.
the police say, died suddenly on
February 20, 1914. On the night be-

SOME AMERICANS
White Star Steamship
Sailed from Here Load
ed with Supplies.

Queenstown. May e.The White
Star liner Cymric, loaded to its ca
pacity with a cargo from America, was
torpedoed at o'clock Monday after
noon off the Irish coast According TO
latest reports it is still afost and
making for an Irish port
Reports about the fate of the boat
that has long been in the munitions
trade were many to-day, but few OF
them can be verified. 10 is not known
whether it was warned, whether any
lives were lost or how this latest at
tack will NJ into Germany's supposedly
changed submarine policy.
II is known, however, that several
Americans were members of the crew.
They had been in the service OF the
line for several trips. Their fate is
looked upon as Of particular interest
in view of President Wilson's recent
statement that the government Of the
United States felt an even greater
duty toward those who were on board
ships in pursuit OF livelihood than
toward passengers travelling for pleas
ure.
The information that the Cymric vas
torpedoed and is still proceeding to
Ireland under its own steam was the
first definite statement TO reach here
concerning its fate. II is generally
believed that the fact OF the attack
was communicated TO another vessel by
the crippled Cymric by wireless and
relayed here. No details have been
given out officially, however. One re-
port was that the liner had been at
tackled in the Atlantic. II is thought
that the torpedoing occurred some
where off the east coast Of ireland.
The Cymric left New York on April
90. Since the boat usually makes the
trip in ten DAYS. she was within day
or two Of her destination when the
attack occurred The boat was heavily
laden with a cargo consisting largely
of munitions Of war. No passengers
have been carried since the liner was
put in the munition trade, however,
which may account for the fact-if II
proves TO be true-that the attack was
not accompanied by loss OF life. The
crew. according 10 information at hand
here, numbered about 100 men.
