wrong in stating that young Bradley
swallowed "laudaunm." 1t should have

The circumstances, as gathered from
perfectly reliable sources, are as follows
Monday afternoon, Bradley went to Geo
Smiths store and procured a two ounce
bottle of paregoric, and left the store, not
being able to extract the cork from the
vial. He took a stone, broke off the neck
and swallowed the contents. He went to
