Clifton Springs, N. Y. - From being poisoned in some way not surely known at this time, Mrs. Barlow Baggerly, wife of Barlow Baggerly, a farmer just south of this village on Pearl street, and Charles Cooley, who lived in this village but was employed by Mr. Baggerly, died last evening; and Mr. Baggerly is in a critical condition.
A daughter, Norma Baggerly, was the only one of the four that had dinner at noon yesterday at the Baggerly home to escape poisoning. The family had dinner at 12 o'clock yesterday as usual and Norma returned to school in this village. She was not in any way affected by poison. Mr. and Mrs. Baggerly and Mr. Cooley became violently ill shortly after dinner, however, and during the afternoon Mr. Cooley was removed to his home on South street in this village. He died shortly after 7 o'clock last evening, and Mrs. Baggerly died about 8:30 o'clock. The dinner meal consisted of tomato soup, pork, potatoes, bread and butter and corn starch pudding.
Mr. Baggerly is still alive today, although very ill. The physician says he will recover. The only part of the dinner which Miss Norma Baggerly did not partake of was the sauce on the pudding. The others ate this sauce. Coroner Eiseline of Shortsville held an inquest today and gave a verdict that Mrs. Baggerly and Mr. Cooley were victims of accidental poisoning. It was brought out that the reason Miss Baggerly did not eat the pudding sauce was because she disliked the vanilla with which it was flavored. The remainder of the pudding which was not eaten with the dinner was thrown out and eaten by the dog which was also made very sick.
