` iihose Trngic Death Occurred- As n Result of ~‘

Poisoning Five- nrellecd-of Eight Children

_ r

\ 'i`hc w.iloic` _community of St. Mnryhi ,lload and in factgthe whole province has been stirred to a 'feeling 0; deep sympathy as a result. of the tragedy which has befalleu the fam- ny of Patrick and Mrs. McGee, who resiiiofat the aforementioned place, about six miles from Montague. In two days the parents were ber- eft of iive`of their six children. Tile names and ages of the five deceased - children are: Louis, aged lil; Pcnzic, aged 12; George, aged 8; ilridget, aged 0; and Thomas, aged

5. _ 'i‘he ilcnth of the children and the illness of the fifth are supposed to be dnc io ptomnlne poisining, brought on by rntinb heartily of decayed her- ring irbicli, on Thursday, Mr. and Mrs. McGee, and flvc children, par- took freely of at dinner. The sixth chilli was not at home for dinner. After dinner the cllildren and the inotlicr became ill,and as their con- dition gradually became more serious ilr. Fraser of Montague was sont for. lic arrived at the house at 4 a. m. l<`ridny. He found all five children vcry sick and one of the boys in a liopiess condition. The sick ones were complaining of pains in the Iicnd and stomach and they vomited green mutter. There was no move- incnt of the bowels, and this fact snciiicil to the doctor to be peculiar, in vicw of thc other symtoms. The hcurt action was very wea.k', and he lmd to administer' tonics. He worked with them, for some hours applying cvery remedy he thought might be beneficial. Ono of the children died at 5 u. m.. un hour after the doctor ar- rived. In the evening he left for Mon- tague and "about 7 0’cloek on his return home he met Dr. Mclntyre on his way out to that part of the coun- try on his usual' calles...He informed Dr. hlclntyre of the circumstances, and the latter .called at the house on\ his way out. On returning from his other calls in that neighborhood he paid ii second visit, and learned that tivo of the other children had died about 10 o’clock within fifteen min- utes of each other. Saturday morning between 9 and 10 n'ciock the fourth child passed a- way. 'l'in~_ intller anll mother are all right 'l‘hc latter did not complain of feeling ill, but his wife,vomited twice. Mr. McGee is n-hard-working farm- cr about 40 years of age and he and his wife are having the sympathy of the community in their fearful be- ronvcment. Dr. Allan of Cardigan, coroneriand nr.

GREENVILLE, April 14- The Miss-

Behind it a flood is pouring fli`rough

two gaps in the levee nt Panther For- cet in Arkansas and near Roosevelt it is nvcrflowing the liai. lunds of Louis- una

At the Arkansas delta it is estima-

ted that one thousand square miles in east (larrol, the Madison parishes in Louisuna and Uhicoland, Arkansas, will bc flooded.

Mr. Tweedy wus the solicitor who rircw and w-itiiessnil thc partnership agrccincnt lictweea thc into Jnu.cs H. llordon null llolifrt li. \_iol'don, his ucphcw, Mr. 'l‘\vccdy stntcd that i)r. floss called at his off-ice on A\lgust_ 2nd, last with an old partnersliip u greoment between Robert 'l‘uplin and James S. Gordon and requested him to drnw n similar document eliminat- ing n certain clause rclutiiig tu lnuncys in the old ngrccincnt. Mr, Tweoily drove down with fir. floss in the afternoon to the rcsidclutc ui James S. Gurdon. He stated that lu remained in the wa-gggon and fir. Koss went into the house. After remain-_ ing there a few nloincnts 'Dl:. Ross .re-appeared and stated that they were too late, that James S. Gor- don was then in a half stupor. After staying around the premis;s for about lialhan hour Mr. Tweedy and Dr. Ross went into the house and ill to the sick room. where the docil- mcnts was then executed by James bi. Gordon. Mr. Tweedy stated- thai in his opinion- James S. Gordon,v\'ns in n comatose condition, and judged of this by thc fact that he fecl a- sleep whilst. he was there, and had to be awakened two or three times. Mr. Tweedy' asked the sick man if in the cvellt of his death he wished tr leave the foxes, young and old, ts- Robert H. Gordon, and James S, Gordon. Hcreplied, Yes. He stated further that the nurse who was s sister of Robert H. Gordon, took the wrist in ber hand. and said: "l‘ull yourselftogethcr, Uncle Jim, and do _something for poor Hudson‘s sake." Mr. Tweedy then returied to the kit- chcfn and inserted a clause stating that Robert H. Gordon was to rc ccivc one half the foxes, old and young for bis own use in case of Jlnines S. Gordon‘s death. He re turned to the sick`room, when the patient seemed to be more livc`ly.f~le readthe documents over to the pa- ient reading the fifth clause over twice. This is the clause giving Hurl- son Gordon one half of the foxes on James S. Gordon's death. .The docu- .ment was then executed bv James S. Gordon, and witnessed by Mr. Tweedy, Some days after Mr. Gor- don's dentb, Hudson Gordon and bis brother George called at Mr. ment executed by Hudson Gurdon, Tweedy's office to have File docu- but Mr. Tweedy refused to have this done before him, as James S.
