Arrested for Poisoning
   
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 19 – the details of the poisoning of a dinner party
in Franklin parish last week, by which ten people died from eating the 
dressing of a turkey, have already been published.  The wife of Mr. King, 
on whose place the poisoning occurred, and her daughter were arrested as 
principles.  Old man King was ambushed and shot and killed.  It is probable 
that Mrs. King and her daughter will be lynched by the excited neighbors.
