He was led back to the witness stand this morning for questioning by Prose- cutor David after enduring a hard two- hours on the stand under direct ques- tioning yesterday.

OTHER CASES SUSPECTED Baltimore, Md., June 12 (A.P.).— Mrs. Hattie Stone was arrested today and held for investigation following the report of Baltimore chemists that evidences of poison had been found in the organs of her 15-year-old son, George, who died June 4, the fourth victim of a strange cycle of death which has visited the Stone family during the last three years. Mrs. Stone was taken to Belair, the county seat of Harford County, by police and State’s Attorney W. Worthington Hop- kins, who ordered her arrest. Authorities previously had announced that the bodies of George's elder brother, Elmer; their father, Edward, and their grandmother, Mrs. Emma Stone, all of whom died under circum- stances similar to these which sur- rounded the death of George, would be exhumed and examined if traces of poison were found in the organs of the fourth victim. George Stone died after but a few hours’ iilness, after returning home from a moving picture show. Suspicions of the doctor who attended him were aroused, and he called in another physician, who recalled the death of Elmer. No formal charge has been placed against the woman, pending completion of the analysis, exhumation of the bodies of the other three, and the in- vestigation being conducted by Hop- kins. No motive for murder was given by the State’s attorney.
