Theories that the deaths were acci-
dental were cast aside while police
and county officials searched for the

Opinions that the sig persons whose
bodies were found in the Henderson
home yesterday died from q quick act

w. Mondhank, local physician, who
attended them several days previous to
their deaths and yesterday performed
an autopsy.
May Have Been the Mother.
Foremost in the minds Of investiga-
tors today apparently was the posi-
bility that responsibility for the deaths
rested in the family. Mrs. Henderson,
according to DR.. Mondhank. had been
in i'll health for some time and he laid
stress on the possibility that she
might have been mentally unbalanced.
She frequently had conducted herself
strangely in his presence. he said, es-
pecially during illness of several men,,
bers OF the family which preceded
their deaths and which, 1t was
thought might have been caused by
taking poison either in quantities too
large orStoo small to have fatal effect.
