SEVEN NURSES
EAT IN
GIFT OF CANDY
Girls Are Near Death
Jealous Suitor Is
Blamed.

Chicago, Oct 19.-(United Press.)
Seven of the West End hospital
nurses fought for their lives today
after they had eaten candy contain
ing cyanide poison.
The candy, which was addressed
to Miss Helen Rosenfeld, was home
made chocolate fudge.
A typewriter card in the box
read:
Candy SFaithfulIy Made"
From a patient who was an
ardent admirer This candy was
faithfully made"
Miss Rosenfeld, when she re-
ceived the box of candy, gathered
other nurses about and offered them
some.
In addition to Miss Rosenfeld
these others are desperately ill:
| Teresa Ihfe, Alma Dormfield, Helen
Leslie, Anna Ruhle, Daisy Casey
| and Grace Breakstone.
Analysis of the candy by physi-
clans showed it contained enough
poison to kill every person in the
hospital. Every portion and crumh
of the candy contained poison.
| Cyanide takes life quicker than
any other poison, DR.. H. D. Valin
chemist at the hospital said, Death
| usually comes in a few minutes, he
stated.
/ Stomach Pump Saves Lives.
Within a few minutes after the
girls had eaten the candy, they
were writhing in agony and ther
fell unconscious on the floor. Quick
use of stomach pumps saved theil
lives, it was said at the hospital.
Two brothers who police saiC
were in love with Miss Rosenfeld
were questioned in connection with
the case. Authorities stated they
have information to show that eact
of the brothers Dragged tha
Miss Rosenfeld was his fiancee.
These men denied any knowledge
