Names that figured prominently in the Buffom case are heard on the lips of villagers Some go so far as to say the a} part of a gigantic plot to open the doors of Auburn prison for Cyn:| |thia Buffom | ! it is argued that if a suc cessor to the Buffoms on the “poison farm” were stricken with arsenic it would tend to prove the farm contained the poison in some form that finds ite way into the bodies of ten ants and that Mrs. Buffom is innocent of murder.
