              Woman Poisons Two Babies
           
           Mrs. S. L. WILLIAMS of Morrice poisoned her
         two children and cut her own throat. A neigh-
         bor found the woman's 2-year-old boy on the
         floor crying and her 6-months-old baby dying.
         Mrs. WILLIAMS declared she had given them both
         something, and that the children would soon be
         in heaven and she herself in hell. The neigh-
         bor went for help and when she returned Mrs.
         WILLIAMS was in the cellar and had cut her own
         throat. The jugular vein was not severed and 
         her life may be saved. The baby died; the older
         child's condition is perilous. The woman had
         lately been carried away by religious enthusiasm.
