ALLEGED POISONING.
A Bookkeeper Arrested for Attempting
the Life of an Associate

A Bookkeeper Arrested for Attempting
the Life of an Associate.
Boston, May 49, Inspectors Richardson
and Glidden arrested to day Frank w Rey-
nolds, on charge of attempting to kill Will
liam A. Wilson by administering dose of
poison. Reynolds is employed as bookkeeper
for G. w. Miller, bostlers, at No. 252 Atlantic
avenue, and Wilson is the shipping clerk for
Mr.. Miller. The officers state that a few
weeks ago the two men had some words about
the condition of accounts, which it is claimed
furnishes motive for the act of which Rey-
nolds is accused. 1t appears that Wilson has,
for several weeks been under treatment by DR..
Bush, and had occasion TO have bottle of
medicine upon his desk to use at stated inter
yals On Monday of last week Wilson took
the prescribed dose, and soon experienced a
very unpleasant feeling, which was followed
by serious illness that prestrated him. He
was taken to the City Hotel, and Reynolds
was very active in ministering to his wants.
DR.. Elliott was summoned, and perceiving that
it was case of poison, administered an emetic
which accomplished its purpose. This led to
chemical analysis OF the medicine remaining
in the bottle on Wilson's desk, and % drops of
croton oil were found therein, quantity suffi-
cient to kill twenty men. the explanation Of
the saving of Wilson's life when he took the
medicine is that he neglected to shake 1t up,
and the croton oil remained at the bottom.
REYNOLDS has confessed.

following, which fully expressed the views of
our amented friend:

following, winch luliy e1proSoou lho 'AS"S ~
our lamented friend:
Had this tough old world 10 rule,
MY cannon, sword and mallet
Should be the dear old district school,
Gods Bible and the ballot.
He loved nature. Raised among the hills OF
"Old Oxford" her "sweeping wales and foam
Ing floods were dear TO him. He loved poetry
The daisies, violets and roses, tke rocks, rills
and groves caused him to have an intense Hove
Of freedom. Hence he delighted in Burns,
who was the poet Of nature and the people.
How he delighted to chat in his hearty way
with one who loved this wonderful poet! To
him the "Cotter's Saturday night, the Jolly
Beggars Twa DAYS, Tam OShanter, Scots
Wha Hae WIZ Wallace bled, Holy Willie's
Prayer, and To Mary in Heaven were sub
iects that stirred his heart as 1t was stirred
when he exulted in the victories achieved by
our,boys in blue during the war The "auld ha'
Bible ance his fathers pride" was reverently
adored by him. In it he saw God of love
and pity. To him "mercy and truth had
met together. Righteousness and peace had
whether disguised in the robes OF sanctity or
the coarser garb OF blssphemy.
In the language Of his loved poet he sang:
s'The great creator 10 revere
Must sure become the creature,
But still the preaching can't forbear
And even the rigid feature;
Yet Deer with wits profane TO range,
Be complaisance extended.
An atheist laughs, poor exchange
For Deity otfendedp
He took an interest in all the movements
and improvements OF the day. he loved
everything that was good and true. He be-
lieyed the newspaper to to great educator
and stored his mind from its columns. Gould
the Maine Historical Sc ,iety get possession OF
his scrap /. oks they would find rare treasures
that he collected daily. Such man must be
missed. We never fully appreciated his wonder
full power and force of character cannot
close this fe 3ble tribute TO this imam OF worth"
without quoting two verscJ from his favorite
poet that were much loved by him:
Mourn spring, thou darling Of the year!
Tx cowslip cup shall keep tear;
Thou, simmer, while each corDy spear
Shoots up Its head.
Thy gay green fowery tresees shear
For him that's deadi
Mourn little harebels, DER the lea,
Ye stately foxgloyes fair to see
Ye woodbines, hanging bonnillie
In scented bowers; =
Ye roses your thorny trce,
The first Of flowers.
