State troopers and police were to-

A subpoena has been issued for

graduate of Teachers College, Co

peared from her home with her
mother Monday after Baring's in

After Miss Beam had held sew.

telephone with an attorney, she
slipped away from home with her
mother without a word of explana.
ton to the school authorities as to
her destination or when she would
return.
Rumors that Mrs. Sarah Barring
had "relented" and was ready to
forgive and help her husband re.
gain his freedom were denied by
Rowland.
The case has passed out of her
hands, he said. and the evidence his
officers had unearthed against the
manufacturer had made 1t useless
for Mrs. Barring to withdraw.
This evidence, Rowland said, was
conclusive that Barring had tried to
kill his wife by putting arsenic and
disease germs in her food.

she never seemed to pay much at
