questioning that she had intended to
give her sister calomel and soda. She
said she had stolen the morphine from
the , Presbyterian hospital, where she
was formerly In charge of the drug
department. After discovering her
mistake she was afraid to call in the
doctor and decided to say nothing
about it. She admitted that she and
her sister were -net on good terms,
asserting that Ells had not "treated"

state tonight whether he contem
plated charglnr Annie Crawford with
the murder of all four members of
the family, but he dictated the fol
lowing statement to the Associated
Press:
"It was established today that An-
nie Crawford is a drug fiend and proK
ably Is addicted to morphine. It
also established that Annie Crawford
had access during the past three
weeks to morphine and was 4ji a po
sition to obtain It In practically any
quantity during that period. During
the indisposition of Elsie Crawford
she bitterly oomplained that her. food
and drink were doped. I have charged
Annie Crawford with the murder of
her sister Elsie.'.'
Long Kxaminatloa
For five hours today the Crawford
woman was tinder examination by the
police. She stoutly maintained her in
nocence and appeared cool and un
concerned throughout. She is alleged
to have made numerous contradictory
statements and when conyotted with
evidenoe tending to Incriminate her
she would declare again and again,
"tls'nt so." Annie Crawford also holds
an Insuranoe policy on the life of her
younger sister, Gertrude, who told the
district attorney today that she was
afraid of her sister. -
In a fifth of a cupful of the con
tents of Elsie Crawford's stomach Dr.1
