WOOD ALCOHOL VICTIMS.

Baltimore, Md, Sept S.-The list of

Edgewood Arsenal resulting from drinking
some form OF poisoned alcohol was in
creased TO seven today by the deaths of
Nelson Lucius, of Rochester, n. y, and
James Davis of Salisbury, Md. Michael
O'Leary of Baltimore, the last one Of the
known victims, is expected to recover. He
was reported as improving today, but was
too weak to talk
Thus far the men have refused TO tell
where they got the liquor.
After an inquest held yesterday over
the three who were dead at that time the
coroner's jury rendered verdict that the
men had died from poisoning by either
w cd or denatured alcohol.
A large quantity of alcohol for chemical
purposes is stored at the post, the military
authorities said.
Little is known of the men who fell
victims to the poison, who had been en-
ployed at the arsenal only short time.
Denial was made today by the military
authorities at Edgewood Arsenal Of the
report that alcohol has been made poison
Gus to deter thefts.
Lieutenant Colonel Frank c. Wood
bury, Of the Medical Corps, said:
eve did not poison our alcohol to pre-
vent thefss. We gave the men warning
but we are not actually sure that our
alcohol would kill and if it did kill it
would be with symptoms so different from
those of these men that we can say that
they died Of wood alcohol and not Of our
denatured alcohol"
