The police of Cincinnati and Memphis are Investigating an alleged attempt at poisoning which has strange ramifications. An express package containing a bottle of poisoned whisky was broken In transit In the warerooms of.

the Adams Express Company here yesterday afternoon and flvo men drank of the liquor. One of them, Benjamin Flcker, an employe of the express company, is dead. William Daly and Louis Burbank are In a critical condition. William Stevens is seriously 111 and George Heberly was affected, but is now out of danger. The package was addressed to Mrs.

Kate Xobbe of No. 507 Harriet street. Chief ot Police Samuel Corbln became convinced that an attempt had been made to murder the woman and early this morning he sent the following telegram: Chlet of Police. Memphis. Tenn.

Arrest Liirle McCormick of No. Hampton place on charts ot murder. Will send warrant. She li the housekeeper for Edwin Tell, saloonkeeper at No. 14 West Bsal street.

SAMUEL. CORBIK. Nlxht Chief. All the men nho drank of the whisKy showed symptoms of arsenical poisoning. While Ficker was engaged in transferring packages In theexpress company's 'Ware-rooms at Butler, street and Friendship alley," yesterday; assisted by Daly, Burbank, Stevens and Heberly; the wrapper about one package became unwrapped and what appeared to be a quart bottle of whisky fell out.

BOTTLERS BROKEN. It was cracked' In the fall' and7 each of the men took a drink of. the Jlauor. A -few minutes later they were "all; on the way to me nospuai. sunenng agonies rrom poisoning.

Ficker died soon after arriving at the hospital. The identification of Use handwriting on the poison packace was made by the Intended victim. Mrs. Nobbe. before she knew that an attempt upon her life had been made: A reporter traced upon tissue paper the misspelled address, and it was taken to the home of Mrs.

Xobbe on the fourth floor of the tenement at No. 507 Harriet street. She was aroused from sleep and was asked if she had expected an express parcel. She replied In the negative and. to further questions, declared that, she knew of no one who would send her a bottle of liquor.

At this point a story the domestic Infelicities of Mrs. Nobbe and her husband, Edward, -was related. -Her husband had left her three years, ago, Mrs. Nobbe said, and she had last heard of him In December, 1902. through the San Francisco police.

She exhibited a letter written by Nobbe some years ago. The handwriting had not the 1 1 II.

Then the tracing of the address was shown to Mrs. Nobbe. She sprang from her chair with cry. "Do you recognize the handwriting?" she was asked.

DISPLAYS LETTER. "I have some like it. I know that 'kV she said, as she ran into an adjoining room. She returned with a box of letters in her hand and exhibited an envelope addressed "Mrs. Kate Nobbe, No.

303 Stone street, Cincinnati. Ohio." The handwriting appeared to be Identical with that of the tracing. The letter was written In Poplar Bluff. In 1K9. and was signed "Lizzie McCormick." It was tilled with inaccuiacies ot Four more letters were produced by Mrs.

Nobbe, ail signed with the name of "Lizzie McCormick." It was In the formation of the letter that the most striking resemblance was noted, but the letter and the capitals and were similar in the letters and on the poison package. Chief Corbln considered the evidence sufficient to warrant his telegram requesting the arrest of the McCormick woman in Memphis. Mrs. Nobbe told the police, so they say, that last Monday she received from Llzzlo McCormick a package by mall which contained a small vial of yellow liquid, which she at onco remalled to Mrs. McCormick: that Mrs.

McCormick In the past wrote her letters so objectionable that they were placed In the hands of Police Inspectors; that a "valentine" of vulgar tone was sent her by Mrs. McCormick, and that the McCormick weman Is Jealous of her. though without reason, as regards Edwin Pell, who is brother-in-law of Mrs. Nobbe and for whom Lizzie McCormick has been for years a hourekeepcr. PRISONER'S DENIAL EMPHATIC.

Women Have Recently Exchanged Caustic Letters. KEPUBLIC SPECIAL. Memphis. May 14. Mrs.

Elizabeth McCormick. charged with sending poisoned whisky to Cincinnati. Is being held by the police awaiting the arrival of the Ohio of-Jicers. She says she will go without a requisition. She Is a buxom woman of medium height, about 3 years old, weighing 140 pounds.

Her face is an' average one, with nothing vicious about It. She seems a person ot fair Intelligence, with very lltle education. In 1900 she secured a divorce irom her husband, John R. McCormick, a cooper, at Abbeville. and after living for a time at Poplar Bluff and at St.

Louis accepted the position of housekeeper for Edwin Pell, a Memphis saloonkeeper. His wife Is drad and he has three children. Pell's sister-in-law, Mrs. Nobbe of Cincinnati. Mrs.

McCormick says, was not pleased with tho arrangement, and uncomplimentary letters have been passing between the women since Pell's visit to Cincinnati, about three weeks ago. Mrs. Nobbe's letters were usually addressed to the "Housekeeper at Pell's Cottage." A candy baby doll was received by Mrs. McCormick recently, which she returned with a stinging reply. The prisoner bitterly denies sending the poisoned whisky, but seems very much worried over the nffalr.

The express officials received the fatal package two days ago. It was marked "Glass. Handle With Care." but nothing on it to indicate tho fender's identity. The police gave Pell his liberty after putting him through a rigid examination. GAVE FOR PAFsENGERS.
