SUSPECTED PoIsoHIEG The Lorain Coun-
ty News says that serious affair lately hap
pened in the westpart Of Chatham, in Medina
county. The particulars, as far as We have
been able to learn, are as follows A young
man named Grsndy lately married the
daughter Of Mr.. Conkey, living in the
before-nsmed place. On Tuesday night of
last week, number of rowdies concluded to
bell the newly married couple, and proceeded
to the house, we'll charged with cheap whis-
key, and after giving one or two rounds Of
their music, Mr.. COnkey invited them in, as
suring them that all was right, and that they
had expected them, and we're prepared with
jug of whisky to settle the matter on the
spot. The boys went in and drank some Of
the liquor so generously offered them, but
soon found it was not best to imbibe too
frequently, but rather to commence aretrsat,
one of their number named LaVoo, being so
drunk, as they supposed, as to be unable to
walk, was carried to an old house not
far of, where a fire was made and prepsra-
tions to remain, until their oOmrsde was
able to 90 homo. After remaining an hour or
two, they concluded to see ifthey could rouse
their comrsde, but found him dead. A post
mOrtes examination was had, and also an
inquest, the result of which was the finding,
in the opinion of the jury, that the deceased
came to his death by poisoning. Whether
poison was put into the liquor By Conksy, or
whether it was some of the dead shot forty
rod whisky, remains to be proven. The
affair is sufficient at any rate to warn young
men against engaging in such low business,
and especially of drinking the filthy stuff
dealt out by unprinciplsd men against the
best interests of a peaceable community.
