17 Hospital Patients Were Not Murdered
(Rec. 11.30 a.m.) PARIS. Aug. 27. The police, after two months' investigation into the mystery of the suspected poisoning of 17 women at Macon Hospital, declare that the supposition that a sadist carried out a series of murders is no longer entertained. “There was no crime," it was stated. Meantime, medical authorities at Macon suggest that the deaths were due to the accidental use in purgative solutions of too much salt, which could cause deaths if the patients were in a poor state of health.
