Sheriff Denies Report Slay
ing Suspect Poisoned by
Meal From Jail Kitchen.
By the Associated Pres*.
SNOW HILL, Md„ March I.—Sheriff
Ernest C. West contended today that
bananas, peanuts and pork chops, not
poison, caused Mrs. Jeannette B.
Trader * Hines* in the Worcester Coun
ty Jail.
Sheriff West, rallying stoutly to the
defense of his wife's cooking, asserted
“there 1* absolutely no foundation for
the report" Mrs. Trader was poisoned
by food from the Jail kitchen. The
sheriff's wife Is matron of the Jail.
Mrs. Trader, charged with the first
degree murder of her husband, was re
moved to the Salisbury Jail Saturday
under an order signed by Judge Ben
jamin A. Johnson. She became ill
in her cell after her evening meal last
Wednesday.
Illness “No Surprise.’*
Sheriff West said her illness was “no
surpiise to my wife or myself, in view
of the quantity and .combination of
foods she had eaten.” He charged
Defense Attorney John L. Sanford
“purposely sought publicity In regard
to this minor attack of indigestion."
He added he believed Sanford
sought Mrs. Trader’s removal to a hos
pital 'so that she might avoid the
unpleasantness of Jail confinement."
“He also had In mind, no doubt, a
desire to arouse public sympathy in
her favor,” Sheriff West said.
Ailment Called Indigestion.
He asserted Mrs. Trader was served
an “extremely large" supper "as was
her usual custom" Wednesday night.
4 short time later, he said, Mrs.
Trader's son Richard visited her and
brought with him some fried pork
chops and other fot>d.
“In addition, she sent for some
peanuts and bananas, which she also
ate with the pork chops, reserving some
of the pork chops for her midnight
meal." Sheriff West continued. “Dur
ing the night she became sick .’*
He said Dr. John L. Riley, the
county physician, diagnosed her ail
ment as “acute indigestion."

dren recuperated today In a snow
bound mountain cabin, their food and
medical supplies replenished by

The volunteers, led by Lieut. George

Arbogast and her newly born baby in
a “satisfactory” condition. The hus

FAMILY IN GAS PERIL
Mr. and Mrs. Emmett Bland and
Two Children Found Asleep
by Miss Bertha Planz.
Quick action on the part of a
neighbor, who detected gas from an
apartment at 634 B street northeast.
probably saved the lives of Mr. and
Mrs. Emmett Bland and their two
children late yesterday.
Miss Bertha Planz told police she
smelled gas when she opened her door
to welcome a guest. She said she
went upstairs and found the Blands
asleep and the jets open on the
kitchen stove.
The rescue squad was aummoned,
but treatment proved unnecessary.
Mrs. Bland told police she believed
one of the children had turned on
the Jets while she and Mr. Bland
were taking an afternoon nap. The
children are Catherine, 3, and Em
mett, jr., 18 months.

The first rescue group broke a
path to the cabin last Thursday for
Dr. A. E. Burner, a physician of
nearby Drubin. He arrived on the
day of the child's birth. About 20
Civilian Conservation Camp workers
helped the physician reach the cabin,
at times lifting his car over obstacles
on the mountainous pathways.
Lieut. Healy said two of the Arbo
gast boys, Denver. 16, and Peachie,
14, made the hazardous trip from
their home to call the physician.
The conservation workers, while at
the Arbogaet home, cut a five-day sup
ply of firewood, which had to be car
ried a mile or more to the home.
They left food and other essentials.

Memorial Home, Vineland, N. J.. Mrs.
Jones was born in York, Ohio, No
vember 21, 1855. moving to Newburgh,
N. Y., when she married. For the

daughter, are a daughter, Mrs. Rachel
B. Mathias, Camden, N. J.; a step
son, Louis H. Jones, Northport, Long
Island, and eight grandchildren.
Funeral services are being held today
at her daughter's home, followed by

It has been used over 80
years as a treatment for
colds and to aid in develop
ing strong, sturdy bodies.
