Danville, Va., Jan. 16. -The pois
oning case at Irisburg, in Henry county,
Is developing some sensational features.
iT now appears that William Stua'rt,
tbe young man who took supper at Ed
ward Harrington's and was taken sick
immediately after tea and died the next
day, was the accepted lover of Miss
Eleanor Harrington, daughter of Ed
ward Harrington, though the parents
of the young lady objected to him. He
ate beartly of an oldlasbioned pound
cake the night he took tea at Harring
ton's, and his illness and death followed.
It is claimed that none of Harrington's
family partook of the cake. A post
mortem examination convinced the
doctors tbat Stuart's death was due to
poison, and Edward Harrington, his
son and bis daughter were arrested and
taken to Martinsville for examination.
The examination has not yet been com
pleted and Harrington and his son are
in jail.

during the defendant's examination at
the city hall the day he was arrested.
The witness admitted having received
the documents from his private secre

come of them. He explained that they
were probably destroyed during the
transfer of his private papers from the

Wichita, Kas., Jan II. Clyde Mat
tox, the notorious Oklahoma desperado
who was being tried for murder, and
found guilty in the federal court, had
not been returned to his cell over two
hours before he had cut his way
through the iron bars of a third story
window and made his escape. A large
posse is scouring the town aud sur
rounding country, but ithout hope of
catching the young outlaw, who was
evidently aided by friends on the out
side and provided with ample means of
escape. Mattox, naturally a desperado,
was made more desperate still by his
conviction and the chances are he will
never be taken alive.
