PARIS POISONING DRAMA

YOUNG GIRL ARRESTED ALLEGED CONFESSION Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright PARIS, August 29. (Received August 30, at 1 p.m.) A stylish brunette named Violette Noziere, aged eighteen, was arrested in a cafe iu Montmartre at midnight in consequence of the death of her father from poisoning and the severe illness of her mother, who is imploring death to end her suffering. Violette, who is likened to Lucretia Borgia, allegedly confessed to five attempts to bill her parents, whom she hated. Once she went herself to the hospital for treatment, after which she gave her parents powders which she said would prevent infection. The same night the flat was set on fire, and the parents were rescued desperately ill. Finally it is alleged she put powder in their soup, after which she spent the night in a whirl of gaiety in Montmartre and returned at dawn and found her parents apparently dead. The police were set on the trail when they learned that her hobby was the study of poisons.
