DEMENTED MOTHER MAY HAVE KILLED FAMILY Police Have Theory That Woman Poisoned Herself
 and Five Others

Lancaster, O., Nov. 23 (By Asso-
 ciated Press)-While partial solution
 of the mystery surrounding the snuff
 ing out of the lives of the entire
 family of Irvine Henderson--father
 mother and four small children-was expected to come through examina- tion of the vital organs of the two adults at Columbus today, officials here were passing their investigation of the tragedy on the supposition that the family died from the effects of poison intentionally administered.
 Theories that the deaths were acci- dental were cast aside while police and county officials searched for the possible perpetrator and plausible motive.
 Opinion that the six persons whose bodies were found in the Henderson home yesterday died from the effects of a quick acting poison, possibly taken with their evening meal on Tuesday. was expressed by Dr. R. w. Mondhank, local physician who at tended them several days previous to their deaths and yesterday performed an autopsy.
 Foremost in the minds of the in- vestigators today apparently was the possibility that responsibility for the deaths rested within the family. Mrs. Henderson, according to Dr. Mond- ho s,, time and he laid stress upon the possibility that she might have been unbalanced by protracted illness.
 She frequently had conducted her self strangely in his presence, Dr. Mondhank said, especially during Ill., ness of several members of the family which preceded their deaths and which, it was thought, might have been caused by taking poison either in quantities too large or too small to have fatal effect.
 Attention. was still being given the statement of Henderson to pr. Mond- hank that he believed enemies were giving him poison and Henderson's in an unmailed letter di- rected to the state department of health that someone might have en- tered his home and placed poison in the family provisions but these theories have been discounted some what by investigation. Henderson had given the physhician the name ot ! man he said he suspected of bear ng ill feeling toward him because Henderson had been employed at the railroad shops where he shopmens strike remains un- settled, but officials believed it high y improbable that such suspicion would be substantiated.
 No date has been set for the coro- ,er's inquest.
