MRS. HENDERSON
POISONED FAMILY

LANCASTER, o., Nov. 25 Omitted
Press)-The pendulum OF evidence
in the Henderson poison mystery
swung back TO the suicide-murder
theory and authorities today declar-
ed they were convinced that Mrs.
Henderson poisoned herself. her hus-
band and four small children in a
moment Of mental depression.
Reports from Columbus chemists
who are analyzing the vital organs OF
the family Indicated tests for arsenic
had shown no trace of that poison
and that further analysis for other
poison probably will delay the final
report until next week.
Several letters found in the death
house OF the Henderson family police
said indicate Mrs. Henderson had
been seriously worried over her
health and had tried in vain to get
a cure from a mysterious Circleville
"healer." The healer" a thought
and-prayer advocate, had promised,
the letters showed, TO effect a cure.

Champagne offensive and to what
the British made in the unsuccessful
Somnie offensive, which were gigan-
tic auf deadly encounters in the ar
lier years of the war.
When the war was won the Ameri-
can army came home and the United
States withdrew without a penny
asked in r~eparations or a foot of
land taken as compensation--things
no other winner can say.
These American sacrifices were
made in a war of which the origin
and causes were as remote from
American participation or RESPONSE
bifity as If they had been found in
the moon. There never before in his
tory had been so great a military eff
fort made by a nation so innocent of
blame.
We hope living Americans will not
be a reproach to their dead by admit
ting into their minds for an instant
the thought that the United States is
Europe's moral debtor, a Stacker in
its own cause, and delinquent to its
ideals. The fathers OF these
American soldiers had a great war
for a great moral idea, and the living
of them will say that they got little
aid from Europe in behalf of the NOR
al ause. That moral cause was near
ly lost by the advantage Europe took
of the danger to the United States.
