Hesris4@~A-e Varney sRefuses te Read Newspaper Accounts of Pro-
 gross in Case

Dedham, Mass, July 5.-EWdence with which the state seeks to obtain an indictment against Miss Harriet A. Varney, charged with the murder of Mrs. Pauline Reyes at Brookline on June 19, was presented to the grand jury in special session here today. The same degree of secrecy that characterized the earlier police inves- tigation on the inquest was observed and the names of witnesses summoned to testify were not revealed. Miss Varney, who is held without bail in the county jail here, has shown no in terest in the case and since the arrest at West Upton ten days ago, has re- fused to read newspaper accounts of the developments.
 Notwithstanding the opinion ex- pressed by the medical examiner of Brooklne that Mrs. Reyes killed her. self by shooting, District Attorney Katzman has announced that he would attempt to establish the fact that Miss Varney called at the Reyes home and killed Mrs. Reyes through motives of jealousy.
 Counsel for Miss Varney have an- nounced that she has complete alibi, which, they assert, will show conclu- sively that she was not in Brookline on the day Mrs. Reyes body was found with bullet wounds in the head and hand.

Toxicologist in Gilligan Case Admits Some People Do Eat Poison But in Small Doses.

Hartford, July 5.-That there were arsenic eaters in the world was brought out at the Gilligan murder trial today by Dr. Vaughan, toxicol- ogist for the state, who admitted to attorney Holden that he had heard of arsenic eaters, but that medical experts differed. as to whether these people ate any great amount of the poison.
 pr. Vaughan admitted that num- Der of tonics contained arsenic. Per- sons took arsenic in medical doses, he also admitted. MT. Holden spent the greater part of the day in the cross examination of Dr. Vaughan and several times attacked the &C., curacy of his analysis of the portions of the organs from the body of Franklin R. Andrews and other per sons whom Mrs. Amy Archer Gilli. gan is accused by the state of mur- dering.

 Shock.

Believed to have attempted to ad- just betting upon a rapidly revolving shafting in response to a request from workman, as yet unidentified, John k1ennell, aged between IS and IS years, of 12 Cottage Place, received probably fatal injuries this forenoon at the North & Judd Mfg. Co.'S plant His clothing becoming entangled. caused him to be hurled to the ceiling With such force as to practically tear both arms from their sockets. Rushed to New Britain General hospital with both arms hanging by shreds of flesh, he was hurried to the operating table, surgeons finding it necessary to am putate the left arm midway between the elbow and the shoulder while the right arm was found completely gone, amputation being necessary at the shoulder. Shock of accident, amputa- tion and internal injuries, it is be- lieved, will prove fatal. Beyond a statement that factory officials are conducting an investigation, the usual manufacturing secrecy is maintained by officials at the plant where the ac- cident happened.
 l1I JOun TuTney aIlO LIlo ponce aul- bulance in charge of Chauffeur George T. Crowley and Policeman Axel Carl son arrived at the scene about the same time. Giving first aid treatment, Dr. Purney ordered a rush trip to the hospital, telephone warning being sent ahead as to the urgency of the case.

AMERICAN PRESS GAG
 HELD FAST BY BAKER
Secretary of War Promises Arrangement Is Only
 Temporary. /

Washington, July 5.-The war de- partment continues to censor de- spatches from France which already have been passed by foreign censors.

It is eerstood that George Creel is soon te go to New York to make some tde4Dh bite ar rangement. The press ass9ciations and the newspapers were nots.notifed in advance of Secretary Bakers defecting incoming cable meaAages to Washington.
 Secretary Baker today issued g. statement explaining the operation of the war department censorship over cable despatches from France affect ing the American troops saying the present arrangements are temporary and soon will be supplemented by g. method that will not delay delivery.
 Pending the complete organization of Gen. Pershing's headquarters in France, the statement said '+w1th the arrival there of correspondents &C., credited to American newspapers, the temporary arrangements by which cablegrams. from France dealing with American troop movements are trans mitted to the war department here for distribution will be continued"
