HARRIS COUNTY, Texas, is very much
agitated over the details Of a death which is
very freely charged to have been caused by
poison. Peter Garretty, q ship carpenter,
who had been employed in Galveston for
some time, recently returned to Lynchburg
to spend vacation with his family. He had
on his person at the time q considerable
sum of money-it Is said about $3.50. When
Garretty reached home he ate supper.
Among the articles comprising it were a
glass Of milk and cup of tea. He tasted
the former, but it 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 a friend
who had come over to see him. In a short
time he complained of illness and cramping,
and in little while was taken with violent
spasms. DIR. Dolen was sent
for at once, and as soon as he arrived and
made an examination he pronounced it a
case of poisoning. The doctor examined the
and found traces of strychnine
in both the glass of milk, and the teacup.
The unfortunate man fingered in intense
agony until next day, when death brought
relief. Garretty's estate is worth about
SIC, 900, and this is supposed to have caused
his sudden death.
