For the past three months Mr. William Benjamin, colored, an employe of the Government Printing office, who resides at Hillsdale, D. C., has hada nephew of his named Elphonso Kell, about 14 Fears old, living with him. Kell formerly lived in Baltimore, but after his parents died he came to live with his uncle. About the 20th of last month he went to several drug stores after arsenic, but was refused. The next day he went to adm Store on H Street northeast and bought a box o} “Rough on Rats” and a quantity of arsenic. When he went home he put the contents in three quarts of milk, with the intention of potsoning the family, but he failed tn this attempt. ‘The next day he re- newed his attempt, putting the POISON IN A BUCKET OP WATER, and Mr. Benjamin's eight children drank from the Ducket and Were taken subsequently with violent pains in the stomach, but all recovered. He also gave some of the arsenic to the cattle, which made them sick, and Killed one pig. ‘The’ polson which Was put in the bucket of water remained there over night. Forgetting about its presence, he drank some of the water himself, and in a few minutes was taken sick, but ran down to Uniontown, where he got some medicine, which made him ali right. On one occasion, it is Stated, he sprinkled some of the powder on Mrs. Benjamin's bread. She, how- ever, discovered it, and threw the Dread away. He also attempted to Set fire to the barn, Tut the corn shucks burned so slow he thought he would be detected, and put out the fire. AN ATTEMPT AT THROAT CUTTING. Just before Christmas he attempted to cut one of the children’s throat, while she was asleep, but she woke up Just as he had his hand raised to cut her. | Two days before Christmas he suddenly dis appeared, and went to Baltimore, and fuding that he didn't fare well in that city le c terday and was arrested by Officer W. L. Anderson, about three miles across the navy yard bridge. He a8 taken to the elghth precinct, where he made a full confession to the officer of is various mis- weds. MR. JAMES I.
