New Orleans Woman Charged Witb Poisoning Sister E Three Oilier Members of Her Family Have Iiel Tnder Peculiar Or cuiiiHtances anil It Is Believed Nlie PoiMined Them 'Hail Policies on Their Liven Also. New Orleans, Sept 28. In the arrest here late yesterday afternoon of Annie Crawford, an alleged drug fiend, on the charge of poisoning her younger sister, Elise, a pretty ten- ographer, the police tookhelr first step In an avowed effort to, reveal the woman as a modern Lucretia Bog la. Three other members of tbe Craw ford family have died under mys terious circumstance within the past fifteen month and Annie Craw ford was the beneficiary named In tlie Insurance policies on the life of each. The policies she held on all four amounted to only $ 1 .750, how ever. Tbe police say she has spent neatly all the money for clothes. Rlise Crawford died suddenly last Saturday and under circumstancea to suspicious that the coroner had tbe contents of the stomach analyz ed by sn expert chemist. The find ing of trace of morphine was fol lowed by tbe arrest of the sister. The authorities indicated that tbe bodies of the three other members of toe family would be exhumed for similar examination. For five hour the Crawford wo man was under examination by tbe foll-c. She stoutly maintained her Innocence and appeared cool and un concerned throughout She la al leged to have made numeroas con tradictory statements and when con fronted with evidence tending to In criminate her she - would declare again and again. "It Isn't so." Annie Crawford also holds an In suranre policy on tbe life of her youngest sister, Gertrude, who told the district attorney that she was afraid of her sister. In one-fifth of a cupful of the ccn'tits of Klise Crawford's stonr ach, Dr. A. L. Mctz, the city chemist. founl three and one-halt grains of morphine, sufficient to kill two persons. ' The first of the Crawford house hold to diew as Mary Agnes Craw ford, tinier of the prisoner. Her death occurred June 25, 1910, sud denly, supposedly of acute menin gitis. Three week later,, July 15, 1910, ber father died, uremic pois oning being given as the cause. After an interval of two weeks, or. on July 29, 1910. ber mother died. In ber rase uremic poisoning was given a Ihe cause. Annie Crawford held Insurance policies on the live of the deceased in the following sum: Walter C. Crawford, father, 100; "Mr. Craw- ford, mother, 1400; Mary Agnes Crawford, sister, $300: Elise Crsw- ford, sister, $2."i0. She collected the Insurance In each case except that of her sister, Elise, payment of which was withheld pending receipt of the certificate of death. On Mon day morning following her sister's death, Annie made demand on the insurance company for the money On that day she also went to tbe railroad office where her sister had been employed as stenogrspber snd collected fl.i due the decessrd. For several year Annie Crawford hsd charge nf the drug department of the Presbyterian hospital. She tost her position here more than a year ago. It Is said, following the disappearance of a quantity of drugs. Recently she has made sev ers! visits to the hospital. Walter Crawford, the father, was a carpenter and a native of this city Annie Crawford Is pale and frail and of small stature. She look more like a prim and self-conscious school teacher than a person with criminal Inclination. A wealth of dark sandy hair, arranged In sn elderly fashion, cause her fo really look older than her 29 years. She ha pale, pine eye magnified by c ycglassc nf large thick lenses, her nose I rather small and short and her month I large with full lip She frustrated every attempt of the newspaper photographers to get her picture by persistently holding a large black fan before ber face.

In an endeavor to pro. voke an inciuci.t which would amount to a cans belli, Justifying a declara tion of war or the sudden occupation of T-Ipoll. Turkey ia determined not to a casus belli, justifying a declara- to do almost anything, while the mu2h- talked of Mussulman fanaticism bas not as yet manifested Itself. The Italian government is preMi by public opinion snd by International considerations and sees tbe necesal y for hurrying things. The first expe dition of 23.000 men will sail, it is understood, October 3, snd will be followed by a second expedition of 13,000 men it nothing occurs to change the present plans. Tbe deadlock in the negotiations between Italy and Turkey I causing great uneasiness, especially In Germany, which Is di vided between duty towards Its al!, Italy, and tbe desire not to lose Tur key, where Germany has powerful in terests at work with the object of re-, placing Great Britain commercially. ' In Milan,' Rome, Florence and other large cities, troops are held In readi ness. Groups of carabineers guarded the ctreets snd squares, and the out skirts are patrolled by calvary. Ia the industrial towns railway station are occupied by the military. Tb- place are practically la a state of siege, A few encounters between manlfesian: j snd the police and troops hare occurred, but tbe casualtle have been few. t The town authorities everywhere have been instructed to do all possih.s to avoid bloodshed, which would coin plicate tbe international situation with serious hom troubles. T Advice from Rome stats that the anti-militarism demonstration have assumed a grave character In the province of Ravenna and Forll, Italy, where the socialist and republican etc ments predominate. A mob, after stopping tbe trains which were transporting troops, ton ed the soldiers. The rioters used th street cars to form barricades in the stre.'ts. At Vlgevano, province of Pa via, the manifestants paraded led by a woman and'slnglng anarchistic tongs. Th-y stoned the ca'abineers who attempt d to head tbem off, oundtng some of the soldi. ts. A judge who sought to Interfere got his ears boxed. The revolutionary socialists, back ed by the snarrhlsts, sre attemp'i ig to provoke antl-milltsry disorders and have compelled tbe government to make a great display of force to check their plan. The Milan newspapers failed to pun. Iwh, lacking news because of the cen sorship, and Ibis led fo alarming e port. Tbe extremists among rh agitators, bunted by polirs, carabi neers and soldiers, and being prevent ed from holding public me tings had recourse to private reunions whre there were Inflammatory harang't.s.
