MASS POISONINGS
FRESH ALLEGATIONS. (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, February 2. The “Daily Telegraph’s” Budapest correspondent says the police at Szolnok are investigating fresh allegations, which are believed to reveal further mass poisonings similar to those already cabled. The Public Prosecutor has ordered the arrest of a peasant, Julienne Nadas, charged with poisoning her step-father, Joseph Maizik, who was local magistorate. Nadas ordered her step-father’s coffin six months before his death. A post-mortem revealed a large quantity of arsenic, differing from that employed by the murderesses of the Theiss Valley. An alarming discovery was made also in another Hungarian town, Bekesosala, that 191 b of arsenic had disappeared from a hospital, 41b of which was found in a sugar jar in a local shop. The rest disappeared, and has not been traced. It is a mystery how the shop-keeper possessed such an enormous quantity of poison.
