SUSPECTED OF A^
SECOND MURDER
AIRS. PRATT GUARDED AND HER
HIRED MAN IN JAIL.
Mysterious Death of Her Father-in
Law as Well as Her Husband Will
Probably Be Investigated Both
Thought to Have Been Poisoned that
a Guilty Lqye Might Prosper.
Special to The Journal.
Lake City, Iowa, June 28 Upon the analysis
of the contents of the stomach of Cjrus Pratt,
whose funeral was interrupted Monday to inves
tigate a charge of murder against Mrs. Pratt
and their bhed man, Will Kerslng, will depend
not onlj the prosecution of these two for this
offense, but perhaps investigation into the death
of Mr. Pratt's fathei some five years ago.
It is well remembered here that Mr Pratt's
father died aftei a lingeiing, strange illness,
dmtagwhich- he was treated by several pbj
sicians, none of whom could diagnose his case
The Piatt faim near Yetter is known thruout
the countv as one fully equipped with splendid
buildings and all modem contrivances The
eldei Pratt was termed wealthy After his
rather strange death, the family was broken up,
the son Cyrus and wife lemalning on the home
place
It has been a matter of neighborhood gossip
that Mrs Piatt was Tery friendly with Kers
Ing, who has woiked in the community for many
years She was good looking and jounger than
her husband Pratt was taken sick five weeks
ago Dr Barry of Auburn could not diagnose
the case, and Dr Hull of Lake City was called
in consultation He was puzzled.
He says the patient seemed not sick enough
to be in bed when he called, but always was
worse just before He thinks now it was the
action of arsenic administered in small doses
Dr Speaker, a Lake City physician, was pre*
ent at death. No one was able to diagnose
the case
It is asseited that Mrs Pratt purchased
poison twice at a letter drug store recently,
signing the poison register on both occasions
Mr and Mrs Pratt had two children both
girls Kersing is in jail at Rockwell City and
Mrs Pratt is guarded at her home
Evidence of Guilty Relationship.
It is believed that Persing will soon tell all
he knows of the case Dr Speaker of Lake
View was the last physician to call on Piatt
l,ibt Friday afternoon Pratt went Into con
vulsions after he left Mis Pratt retued earl}
the evening and was called at 2 clock. She
took Persing's faan and stood with her head
on Persing's shoulder while her husband died
She shed no tears. She was told to go back
to bed
Later men seeking clothing to dress the bods
went into her bedroom and louna renins with
her Ihe next morning Persing went to the
Bink of Yetter and asked about Piatt's life
insurance and bank account. Then he went to
Lake City with Mrs Pratt and the neit day
the two went to Yetter together
When the funeral was stopped Monday for an
investigation, Mrs Pratt was not apparentlj
surprised Persing denied knowing anything
about the poison Mrs. Pratt finally admitted
she bought aisenic at McNichols' drug store
in Yetter on March 7 and June 22 but said she
used it on bread to poison mice, and when asked
to produce some of it declared she had burned it
