Want to Wrong Family.
Although "Fannie's'' letter wa
ad-
street uddress of J. J. Foote, and the
detectives are satisfied the plot con
cerns this family and that an attempt
has really been made to kill the sev
eral members. The city directory gives
no such name os "W. A. Foote" and
the officers supiM.se the writer simply
became confused In the matter of In
itials.
From the letter It appears fhat poison
was placed In the coffee for the Foote
family, but falleiL to take effect. It Is
stated at the Foote home that no sick
ness has been experienced by any
member of the family during the past
few days. It ulxo seems that "Nellie"
had Informed "Fannie" the family was
“hard to fix.” and the latter advised
the use of a greater quantity of poison.
It appears that ufter the failure of the
ferent kind of poison, but ''Fannie'
urged her not to use this, stating that
it would kill too quick.
Reference was also made to some
poison which “Nellie" had at her home
In beer bottles and the use of tills
was also discouraged, on the Idea that
the doctors could tell too easily what
It was. The nature of this poison was
not divulged In the letter. Another
point stressed by "Fannie'' nos that
"Nellie" should remain at the Foote
home when the member* bf the fnmlly
began to get sick and not run away, as
this would give uway the crime.
Detectives 8tarch Homes.
The detectives have closely searched
the homes of the three female prison
ers, but failed to find any trace of
poison or any farther Incriminating
evldenc* except a not* which they be
■nits she did receive two beer bottles,
bnt says she sold them to a junk dealer.
She says the bottles contained a liquid
sembllng beer, but that It seemed to
be something else.”
"I tasted the stuff In one of the bot
tles," said 'Nellie to the officers, "but
It tasted bad and I wouldn't drink any
more."
She denied, however, that It was sent
her for the purpose of poisoning tlio
Foote family. She protests that she Is
entirely Innocent of any Intention In
tljls direction and says she cannot un
derstand the strange letter addressed
to her. The other two women also deny
any complicity In the plot to murder.
The only motive for the proposed
wholesale poisoning so far unearthed
by the sleuths Is had feeling on the
part of Nellie Bailey townrd Mrs.
Foote. The negro has admitted she
"does not like Mrs. Foote.”
Nellis Was Discharged.
The woman was rfot doing her work
to suit Mrs. Foote, It seems, and she
was discharged from her position last

to seek revenge by murdering the whole
family.

that she did not work all of this time.

Mr. Foote, who Is president of the

for the past two weeks and was not
at home when the attempt ut murder
was made. He Is expected to reach
