MASS POISONINGS
FURTHER INVESTIGATIONS IN HUNGARY (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) (Received 3rd February, 9.5 a.m.) LONDON, 2nd February. The "Daily Telegraph's" Budapest correspondent says that the police at Szolnok are investigating fresh allegations which are believed likely to reveal further mass poisonings similar to those cabled last month. The public prosecutor ordered the arrest of a peasant, Julienne Nadas, charged with poisoning his step-father, Joseph Naizik, who was the local magistrate. Nadas ordered his step-father's coffin six months before his death. A post mortem examination revealed a large quantity of arsenic differing from that employed by the murderesses of Theiss Talaey. An alarming discovery was also made in another Hungarian town, Bekesosaba, that 191bs. of arsenic disappeared from the hospital, 41bs of. which were found in a sugar jar in a local shop. The rest has disappeared untraced. It is a mystery how the shopkeeper became possessed of the enormous quantity of the poison.
