Grandma, Poison Suspect,
Had Whole Family Worried
“+ Acquitted on One Charge, She's Back in Jail in New Arsenic Case
FAIRFIELD, IL, May 2 (U. P)
~Relatives, who had great-grandma
* Lillie B. Winter locked up on charges of poisoning them, ste nothing for the last six months unless she first sampled their meals. They feared she might put arsenic in their food, neighbors said
. After she was acquitted of the alleged arsenic murder of her great-
grandson last October, 76-year-old;
Mrs. Winter went to live with her daughter's family. The son-in-law, Gerald Burton, made her test all food prepared in the house before he would permit his wife and daughter to eat, police said. > ; When Burton's wife, Mary, and
daughter, Marjorie, 16, became ill after drinking milk from a bottle
taken from the refrigerator, Fwd
went to authorities Wednesday. He signed complaints charging Mrs. Winter with attempted murder. He charged that a chemist’s ex-' amination showed Marjorie had two-tenths of a grain of arsenic in her body. Protesting. her innocence, Mrs. Winter sat today in a rocking chair in the Wayne county jail. She was in the same cell where she spent three months last year. before her trial for the .murder of * her great-grandson, 3-year-old Donald Martin. Last year friends and relatives
had offered to post the bond, but.
'* authorities refused to release her. Yesterday bond was set at $4000, but no one cameforward to post it. Burton offered no motive for the alleged murder attempt. Mrs. Winter is a white-haired,

Keep Atomic Secrets, Lilienthal Warns
NEW YORK, May 2 (U. P).— Science must learn to work in secrecy because dissemination of |atomic energy secrets under present world conditions is unthink-
i i i
able, according to David E. Lilien- |
thal, chairman of the U. S. atomic
energy commission. Mr. Lilienthal, who spoke last night at an anniversary dinner of the magazine Popular Science Monthly, said the necessity for a U. S. monopoly on its knowledge of atomic energy presents the di. lemma of retarding its own scientific progress. “This is indeed a great force we have in our. hands,” Mr, Lilienthal said. “If in dealing with it we are too stupid we may not have to worry about the ridicule of our descendants. We may have no deScendants.”
