CASES RECALLED
IN POISON QUIZ
Three Past Instances OF Phos-
phorus In Food May Be Angle
In Probe at Madison

The mysterious presence Of phos-
phorus in food in at least three cases
during the past year in Madison is
considered an important angle in the
apparent attempt to poison the baby
OF Mr.. and Mrs. &. L. Lewis 103
North Webster street, in the above
named city.
The poisoned milk and candy found
in the baby buggy which stood on the
Lewis front porch has a parallel in
the finding of a bottle of NJ
similarly poisoned, left at the door Of
Mrs. Ida Pauhs, 12O Eas Mifflin street
about a year ago.
Phosphorus poisoning coming into
food in an unexplained manner re
suited in the death of Granville Rob
bins about a year ago and Robbins
death remained mystery.
Robbins had pur chased some ice
cream and had consumed some of i
in his home when he became i'll.
There was a strong odor of phosphor-
us and the suspicion of poisoning
was proved on chemical analysis.
That there may have been more
cases where poisoned milk or other
food had been found on porches Is
believed probable.
