W. A. and Mrs. Sarah L. Maxwell, had taken arsenius acid about two ounces – which so shocked her system as to produce death. She took it Monday evening and died yesterday morning about 8 o’clock. The skillful efforts of Doctors Hinkle and Cooper were unavailing to save her. Miss Willie was fourteen years of age.
