Mrs. Katharine e Hasti a ll S. 0 ofg Lo au township i s inthecounty _ p jail at Stratford charged with murdering her husband,:- Daniel Hastings, the charge reading "by administering poison to him." The charge was laid by Police Constable Ingram of Mit thele. onthe strength of an alleged confession made to him at Mitchell on Thursday, March 24th. Daniel Hastings was in his usual good health on. Monday of last week. During theevening he was taken suddenly ill, a doctor was called, but before he arrived Hastings was dead. Apparently no foul play was suspected. The funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon,' the neighbors attending and paying the usual trib- utes to a respectable citizen. On Thursday, Mrs. Hastings, evi- dently conscience-stricken,; went to Mitchell and in the presence of Dr.. Murray and Constable Ingram con- fessed that at 9:30 Monday night she gave her husband two strychnine tablets. It is further stated that Mrs. Hastings said that fear of her husband had caused her to admin! ster poison,` the "confession stating,. it is said, that he had abused her. The body . was exhumed • in : _Dublin.. cem`etery on Saturdayand the stom- ach sent to Toronto for analysis. All' through the district the re- sults of the analysis of the stomach is awaited with keen interest, as, it will 'decide whether the confession signed by Mrs. Hastings is - correct, or whether she made and signed statements while her mind may have been deranged from '.grief. Many close friends refuse to believe that she would be guilty of the deed. to which she has signed a confession. A pathetic feature in connection. with the case Was the breaking of the news of Mrs. Hastings being in jail to her little daughters, Mary and Loretto, aged 15 and 11, and to her aged mother, Mrs. Lambert, The recent developments in the case had been kept front them, and they be- lie,ved 'that Mrs. Hastings was in a hospital in Stratford. The inquest opened. Saturday morning at Dublin, with Coroner Armstrong of Mitchell presiding, No evidence was taken. Adjournment was made until, April 1st. Joseph Nagie was chosen as fore, man • of the jury, which is composed' of J. Clinkhamner, F, McConnell, JosePh Shea,George Didgel, M. O'- Loughlin and Henry Ivelules.
