STRYCHNINE FOUND
In Et?iJ by Mrs. Peters-Discover
cred in Time
Lust Thursday morning, while
Mrs. \\\ II. Peters was preparing
sonic eggs for cooking,-she noticed
a tiny bolo rn thc shell ol' one ol'
ibo eggs. She broke the egg in a
sep?rale vessel and examined it
closely. She found some little
while specks on the inside.
She kept the egg in this con
dition, and showed it lo her hus
band. Mr. Peters is a pharmacist
and a member ol' tia* Marlboro
Drug Company. Ile tested tho
white powder and found it to bo
strychnine. There was enough ol'
il in tin4 ogg lo kill several people.
Mrs. Peters bought the egg,
with others, from the grocery
store of H. D. Hogers and Uro.
She asks them to sase fresh, coun
try eggs foi* her, and they were
brought to the store from thc coun
try. The .Messrs Rogers have no
idea where this particular egg
came from, however, as they had
been buying (>"'gs from Various
and sundry persons who brought
them to tl"' -'tori'.
lt is not believed that the
strychnine was put in the egg for
thc purpose of harming ahybo ly,
or that the person who brought it
to town knew thal it. contained
strychnine.
The most plausible theory is
that somebody put tho strychnine
in thc egg to kill a suck-egg dog,
and then forgot about, or else
some other member of thc family
gathered il up with others andi
brought it to town.
Another theory is that some
body had been missing eggs amii
put ?mi lin? strychnine for what
ever was taking them; and that
lb egg was stolen and brought lo
town and sold.
The Messrs Rogers are ol' course
entirely innocent in the matter.
