!"TiT — ROSSICNOL, THE OHIO POtSONERS. Succinct Story Crime. of Their Scene at the Examinatlen^A Drag Clerk’* Managing Testimony—Will Dead Sen Tell Tales t—The Bodies of Sop- posed Victims to be Exhumed —Pen Pictures of the Prin cipal Acton—Case Gir on to the Grand Jury. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, .'writing from Germantown, Ohio, under date of May 19, gives further details of the arrest of Sarah Eirhart and her son Michael, on sus picion of poisoning a number of pereons, in cluding John Hanna, his son John, Jr., and daughter, Catherine. The correspondent says: Her connection with the Hanna family dates back several years, and their associations have been of the most pleasant nature. THE BEGtSjnitO OP THE AOQTAXKTA-NCE. It appears the acquaintance began a abort time after the death of Michael Eirhart’s first wife, about three yean ago. In the inter course consequent upon the succeeding friend ly relations of the families, Michael became attached to Mary Hanna, then about twenty years ol age: and about one year and a naif ago he married her. The families lived on the Farmersvilie pike, within a few miles of each other, and friendly calls were exchanged frequently. On the22d April Michael Eirhart, his wife and mother, Sarah, left home in the morning, and, oa they say, after making a few ordinary purchases in town, went to the bouse of the ilaDna family for the purpose of get ting some hogs that Miehael had bargained for with bis father-in-law some time before. It was about half-past eleven o'clock when they called on the Hannas, and an hour after they participated in the family dinner, which was prepared in a detached building used as a cookhouse. Contrary to the nsoal custom a large pot of colTee was prepared and par taken of by alb Nothing unusual occurred during the meal, and subsequently Mr. Hanna and Eirhart went out to the barn, and Eirhart's wife went from the cookhouse Into the family mansion. AWAITING AN OTPOETUNITY. Catherine Hanna thought her grandmother, as she was pleased to call her sister's mother- in-law, would be more comfortable in the sit ting room, and she asked her to go there while she was clearing away the dinner debris. Mrs. Eirhart said the cook-house was good enough for her, and the matter dropped. Catherine piled up the dinner-dishes on the table, took the coffee-pot from the stove, and, after placing it upon the hearth, she left the building and passed around the house and in to the cellar, where she put away the bread that was not used at dinner. THE POISON DEPOSITED. When she retnrned Mrs. Eirhart was sit ting very near the stove hearth, and almost directly over the coffee-pot. Catherine took the vessel, and, after placing it in the cup board, she again asked the old woman to come with her into the main building, and this time she complied without demur. The Eirharls remained at Hanna’s nntil half-past one, when they started for home. THE PIBST VICTIM. As they were driving away from the bouse they met John Hanna, who, after greeting them, continued on his way to the house, and ns he was late for the regular meal he went into the cookhouse and got ready a cold lunch. He poured a cupful of coffee from the pot—it was only lukewarm, and he drank but half of it. While at work in the yard, less than five minutes after he drank the coffee, be was seized with terrible griping pain3 in tbe stomach, followed by a heavy, painful retching vomit, and he was compelled to stop work. He ate a few apples, in the hope of alleviating his sufferings. Tbe vomit ing and pains continued, and he was compell ed to retire to his room. His father being in the fields, and his sister having gone fo the city, he was not missed until sapper time, when his sister went to his room and learned of his sickness. She did not believe him to be seriously ill, and after arranging for bis comfort during the night she left him to pre pare supper. THE PATAL POT AND ITS FATED PATB0NS. The coffee-pot with its contents poisoned, was pnt upon the stove, and father and daughter drank of the fetal adulteration. Be fore leaving the table they were attacked in the manner described by young John, and the old man, who had taken a enp of the cursed drink, was unable to rise from his chair. Catherine, though very weak, con trived to take off his bools and drag him to his room. The exertion prostrated her, and she conld barely crawl to her own sleeping apartment. A NIGHT OF TEBBIBLE SUFFEBING. During the long, terrible night they suffer ed the most intense agony. Each was too weak to help the other, and echoing moans were the only sounds that disturbed the dreary silence of tbe lone building. Without all was dark, and the helpless ones, alone in their misery, suffered till the early dawn, when John, the yonnger, staggered from the house and slowly and painfully made his way to the house of a neighbor named Sharet, whom be seut to Germantown for a physi cian. Mr. Sharet returned with Dr. Donncl- lan, who at once recognized the evidences of arsenic poisoning, and administered the prop er antidotes. THE CEOIE DISCO VZBED. The Hannas told him the story of the cof fee-pot, and be procured a portion of tbe grounds and sent them to Professor Swayne, of Cincinnati, for analyzation. The chemist reported that the refuse contained white arse nic, and the poisoned family were forced to believe that it had been administered by their . aged relative. SUSPECTED OF A SERIES OP MCBDEBS. Their suspicions assumed a broad scope, and the sudden and oft-recurring deaths in the Eirhart family, led them to believe that »onte of them had been tbe victims of fonl play. They remembered that twenty years ago the husband of their would-be assaasin was suddenly taken ill, and expired in a few days, it is said, without having the services of a physician. Bnt three years ago, Michael Eirhart's first wife, the daughter of Mr. Mc Lean, of Winchester, Ohio, was afflicted in a tike manner. She was sick two days, and on tbe afternoon of tbe second day a physician was called in, in time to see her die. Again, a short time before the death of Mrs. Eirhart, the old lady was bring with her son-in-law, Martin Fultz, in West Alexandria. While there her little grandson succumbed to a sud den attack. After the exposition of the at tempt on the lives of the Hanna family, Mr. Foultz shot himself through the head, be cause, as it is said, he knew his mother-in- law to be guilty, and did not care to live through tbe disgrace that would inevitably follow her arrest on tbe present charges. The facts being reported to Justice Frank, and the mother and son bring arrested, they were lodged in a hotel until a preliminary examination was held on the 19th. The oor- respoudent proceeds: DESCRIPTION OF THE PBISONEBE. Seated in a retired corner or the room, Sa rah Eirhart, the principal, was apparently the least concerned person present. She is sev enty-three years of age, about five feet six inches in height, and marvellously erect in bearing when her age is considered. Her head is of peculiar shape, and, when considered from the chin, it forms an olUpso. Her teeth are gone, her jaws sunken, and her chin point ed and protruding ; her face is .corrugated with wrinkles, and her hair is silver gray; her fore head is narrow and retreating, and a prominent nose half couceals a cold, malicious, animal like gray eye. She wore a plain black dress of ancient material, an ancient widow's bon net and a tunnel-shaped black leghorn “sun down.” She frequently commented upon the evidence, and smiled quite happily whenever her counsel made a point in her fevor. Her son Michael, who sat near her, is about thirty-five yean of age, six feet in height and of conspicuous slimness. His upper lip is shaded with a red mustache, and bis chin bore marks of a straggling whiakar of like color. He is awkard in his movements, and is apparently an ordinary, ignorant farm la borer. WHERE THE POISON WAS PROCURED. The history of his mother's crime, as ted by tbe victims, had no effect upon : but when Robert Shaaffer, a clerk in c Rcseberry’s drug store, iu Germantown, ifled that on the merwing of tbe M* of about ten o'clock, he had aold half an ghastly pale, and he did not recover self-possession again during the day.

Zeller, druggist, and Michael Shney, mill proprietor, entered into a bond for the appearance of Michael, who was liberated. Mrs. Eirhart did not secure bail until the following day, and in the meantime she was detained in the custody of Constable Young, who quartered her at his house. Her bonds men are her brother, John Ryder—whose barn ahe is accused of attempting to burn—and a son-in-law. named Elijah Fonltz. The papers in the oase have been scut to the Grand Jury, in session at Dayton, and that body will on them on Thursday. THE CHARACTER OF THE ftcTIMS. The Hanna family have lived in the imme diate neighborhood of their present residence for more than half a century. The head of the line, Mr. John Hanna, is of staid, old Pennsylvania Dutch stock; he has passed bis sixtieth year, and np to the time of the at tack on his life he was in perfect health. His fece is smooth-shaven, and his countenace is east in the fall, flat, heavy mold so common to his class. His son, John W., is thirty five years of age, of slender build, light complex ion, and about five feet eleven inches in height He is of ordinary intelligence, has a pleasant, honest-looking face, and if he liTos he bids fair to become the picture of his parent The girl Catherine barely escapes Being homely. She has the reputation of being a hard working, honest, good-begrted girl, and, like the rest of the family, she com mands the respect of all who knew her. They began this investigation in order that the family name might be relieved from suspi cion, and they disclaim any deeire to be re venged upon their unfortunate relatives. EIBHABT'S FIRST WIFE TO BE EXHUMED. The family of Michael Eirhart’s first wife are determined to have the body of their rela tive exhumed, and it is thought that they will authorize Coroner Knntz to commence proceedings some time this week.
