DEATH PACKAGE
CASE UNSOLVED
Poison Cake Still Mystery
After 2 Months Clues
to Source Lacking
(Br United Press to TIk Htnd BoIIttln.)
PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 26. Tho
Sterrett poison cake mystery has
gone down on the crime annals-of
Pennsylvania as "unsolved."
Two months ago today Mr. and
llrs. W. W. Sterrett of Devon, near
here, received a neatly wrapped par
cel post package that contained two
largp slices .of jweddlng cake.
Shortly after eating tho- cake, Mr.
and Mrs. Sterrett became ill and.'
were rushed to Bryn Mawr hospital.
Sterrett died from poison that was
secreted In the "devil's food."- Mrs.
Sterrett recovered after a long Ill
ness. Investigators and postal inspectors
began a nation wide search for the
sender ot tho "death package."- The
parcel bore no Identification marks
and the address was typewritten,
baffling authorities.
Sterrett was a public accountant,
and search was instituted for a man
who would have had a motive In tak
ing the accountant's life, because he
had found discrepancies In accounts,
but without avail.
Clues first pointed to an insane
man who was once employed by Ster
rett, and later to women, one In
Youn'gstown, Ohio, and another In
Pittsburgh.
Typewriters, hundreds of them,
were examined to Ond the machine
that addressed the parcel, but with
out success.
The Investigation had Included
hdndreds of drug stores where tho
arsenic that was blended with the
sweet white Icing on the cako was
purchased, but without result.
Even a coroner's Inquest Into Ster
rett's death has not been held, be
cause of tbo lack Of one single thing
upon which a Jury might hang a
verdict.
Mrs. Sterrett has closed up her
house at Devon, sold her furniture
and returned to tho homo ot her
mother at Clarendon, Pa.
