1T From the Toledo tohioi Blade. sf.s r,
Singular Case of Robbery and
Attempfrd Murder,

We are informed Of a remarkable case o
poisoning and robbery, which recently &C.
CURED near the village of Milan, presenting
some aspects OF bold villiany the like o
which We have seldom seen Recorded. A
citizen Of that place, whose pane our inior
mant does not at present recall, was return.
ing to that place in his buggy from the neigh
boring village of Bellevue. When within
about three miles OF home be overlook q
stranger, who desired to ride with him, and
he at once gave him seat by lis side. In
the cohtse ofa few moments the stranger
commenced eating an apple, and offered him
one. After he bad partly eaten it, he bit
into what appeared 10 be worm hele; soon
after, pains and cramps began to affect him
in the stomach, which soon increased to
such an extent that the conviction shot
across bis mind that he was poisoned. lie
looked in vain for some house where he could
60 FOR relie, but bone appeared, ahd he dis
covered that the occasion had been selected
when he was in a sneighborhood but thinly
settled. lie then became unconscious and
upon reviving found himself approaching fhs
village, his horse going along without gui>
dance, and he himself lying az the bottom OF
the buggy alone. He managed to reach his
bone. A physician being called and sto
mach>pump applied, 1t was plainly discoy
cred that he had swallowed stry ychnine. All
his money was found to have been stolen
from his wallet. Ills constitution proved TOO
strong for what would be supposed to be the
fatal operation Of the poison, and he is in q
lair way for recovery. The scoundrei had
evidently administered the poison for the
purpose OF robbing him of his m)ney, and
then decamped leaving his victim insensible
to die either from the poison, or possible &C p.
cident to the buggy. The scoundrel, at last
accounts, had not been apprehended. The
whole transaction presents record OF ,he
most diabolical villiany. A man who could
do such an ac. should not be permitted TO go
