very freely charged to have been caused by
poison. Peter Garretty, ship carpenter,
who had been employed in Galveston for
some time, recently returned to Lynchburg
to spend a vacation with his family. He had
on his person At the time a considerable
sum OF money-it is said about $3.50.
When Garrety reached home he ate sup
per. Among the articles com uprising it were
a glass of milk and cup Of tea. He tasted
the former, but 1t was, as he said after
ward, so bitter he could not drink it. He,
however, ate freely Of the remainder OF the
supper, drinking the cup Of tea that WAS
before him. After finishing his repast he
lighted his pipe and went out on the
porch, where he conversed with friend who
come over to see him. In a short time he
complained Of Illness and cramping, and in q
little while was taken with violent spasms.
DR.. Doen was sent for at once, and as soon
as he arrived and had made An examination
he pro ,ounced 1t case Of poisoning. The
doctor examined the supper-table and found
traces Of strychnine In both the glass of
milk and the teacup. The unfortunate man
fingered until next day, when death brought
relief. Garretty's estate is worth about
$4,000, and this is supposed to have caused
his sudden death. '.f.7. '0.t.
