"'■ ■ WELINGTON. Jan. 21. Shortly after 5. o'clock this morning, Miss Janet McAndrew, 60 years of age, a servant employed by Dr Gilmer. was discovered in an unconscious condition, lying in the passage of the house. Dr McGavin was summoned, and on ijb being noticed that a, strong smell of lysol was about her, the doctor used a stomach pump for an hour, but the woman did not completely recover consciousness. She was sent to the hospital in" a very low_ condition, and it is considered there is little hope of ..her recovery. Dr McGavin has no doubt that a large dose of lysol, mixed with ether, was taken by the woman.
