poisoned fungus cooked by his

and he had been out of work for
some time. The family were

evicted from home and lived in a
shack. Food dwindled and the
children in searching for some-
thing that would be edible found
a quantity of toad stools. Think-
ing they were mushrooms they
brought them home and their mo-
ther cooked them.
Attendants at the hospital say
recovery is doubtful due to the
weakened condition of all mem-
bers of the family through lack
of food.

lMward Wheeler Hall, rector of the
Protestant i'piseopal church of St.
.loiin the Evangelist and Ills choir
ieader, Mrs. Kleanor Rijvohardt Mills,
wife of the church sexton, seemed as
far from solution today as it was
bearly a week ago when the bodies
were found.
Authorities turned to questioning
the Individual members of the lltt!i
church indicating that the inveftiga-
tors give some weight to the theory
advanced by Kills Parker, county^de
{edive .that the slain couple may
have been the victims of a "Person in-
spired by religious fanticlsm. An ob
session lo be censorious of the

Constantinople, Sept. 22. -
Turkish nationalists forces have
seized the town of Ez-lne, on
thf Asiatic side of the Diird-
anells and are threatening Kum
Kalesi, an important key posi-
tion to the southern side of tho
straits. The Kemalists were
nowhere opposed.
The nationalists move, in the
opinion of the naval experts
here, will enable the Turks to
prevent free ingress to the Dar-
danelles to the British Atlantic
fleet units which are on the
way from Malta.
The important positions in-
volved were up to today occu-
pied by the French and the
Italians, and from them the
heavy British batteries can
command the entrance to the
straits.

Constantinople, Sept. 22,—A
pessimistic view of the present
situation now pervades the head-
quarters of Turkish nationalist
circles here.
It was declared yesterday that
unless the Kemalists receiver
guarantees in 48 hours that the
disposition of Thrace would be
settled in favor of the Turks it
would bo Impossible to restrain
the forward march of their
armies.
It was stated that they would
agree to negotiations for the
restraint of the movements of
troops if they were provided by
the powers which guarantees as
to Thrace.

Hall and Mrs. Mills, the rector's wid-
ow, Mrs. Hall issued a statement in
| which she declared her confidence iu
tlie integrity of her husband and Mrs.
Mills, ajvd her disbelief of sugestlons
that there was any improper intimacy
between them.
The statement was given through
.Miss Sally Peters, an old friend of
i ho Hall family, who now Is staying
at the Hall home.
"1 am confident there was nothing
wrong, between my husband and
Mrs. Mills," Miss Pelers quoted Mrs.
Hall as :aying. "I feel this tragedv
was the result of a holJ-up. On
Thursday evening my husband told
mo he was going to the Mills home
with a lot of money, as he wanted to
pay a doctor bill contracted by Mrs.
Mills as the result of an operation.
H was going to pay this money to Dr
