LUNACY HEARING.
Norman Trevor Is Suffering
From DeIusions, H. B.
Warner Charges.
Ry the Associated Press.


LOS ANGELES, April Two life
long friends who have appeared together
on the screen today held bitter roles In
a real-life drama.
For the complaint under which Nor
man Trevor, veteran English actor, Is
held for hearing by the lunacy commits
sion was signed by Fl. B. Warner, his
friend and fellow actor.
In one Of their latest pictures to-
gether, Trevor in "Sorrell and Son"
acted the part of the man who be-
friended Sorrell, played by Warner.
Yesterday. Warner testified before the
lunacy commission that his old friend
was suffering from delusions that he
was immensely wealthy. while in truth
the veteran actor was in poor financial
circumstances.
Only the day before, Warner said
Trevor had purchased sl45 worth OF
flowers for a person he did not know.
The English actor had been taken into
custody charged with issuing worthless
checks.
His arraignment on the lunacy COM
plant was set for Monday, with the
hearing to be held Thursday.
Trevor, who is 81 years old, was cham
pion athlete of India in his time-1893
to 1900-competing as a star in the
Olympic games. He made his first stage
appearance In London in 1907 and came
to the United States in 1918, becoming
manager of the Comedy Theater in
New York for a time. Several years ago
he came to Hollywood. The veteran
actor has played prominent roles in
many film productions.

WOMAN IS ACCUSED
OF POISONING 800
Nearly All in Arkansas Town
Made lII-She Feared Poor
house, One Theory.
By the Associated Press.


FOUKE, Ark, April dread Of the
poorhouse was believed to have driven
70-year-old Mrs. Nancy Lynn to at
tempt the determination of 300 people,
the inhabitants of this lumber camp.
When virtually all the camps in
habitants, men, women and children,
were taken i'll with symptoms of severe
poisoning, the community well was
plumbed. There over pound of poison
was found and investigation revealed
that Mrs. Lynn had purchased a
quantity Of poison short time ago,
officers said. Today Mrs Lynn, with
her brother. Morris, faced charges Of
assault with intent to kill.
Valuable timber holdings had been
left Mrs. Lynn's children by their father
and these had been sold to operators
who owned the camp at which the
poisoning took place. Mrs. Lynn. her
children said, had tried to prevent the
sale of the timber, holding to the idea
that once her children had received
their money she would be left penni-
less and charge on the community.
Authorities, reconstructing the case,
held TO the theory that by exterminat-
Mrs Lynn believed cutting of the tim
Der would be averted and her safety
from poverty insured. In Jail, Mrs.
Lynn would say nothing.
The poinsoned were all believed to-
day to have an even chance TO recover.
Children were the worst sufferers.
