Twins Starve

NEW YORK, March 30 (U.P) — The strange deaths of 90-year-old twin sisters, who starved in the midst of plenty, puzzled physicians today. They agreed that Kate and Theresa Barton, known to their Greenwich Village neighbors as two exceedingly polite antl sweet-souled old women, had died of starvation. But not 20 feet from the bed on which they were found semi-conscious was a well-stocked kitchen. By the time they were found, because of an accumulation of mail in their letter box, the sisters were semi-conscious and too enfeebled to reach the food. Life had been sustained by nips from a bottle of whisky near the bed. Why, when they had the strength, the sisters did not eat the food in their kitchen, puzzled authorities.
