Charles Miner, jr., y. attempted 10 com.
nit suicide last Friday at his fathers farm
in West Brattleboro by taking a large dose
of Paris green. The boys story was to
the effect that he threw stone at some
hogs. but hit dog that was a great pet in
the family. When he saw the bleeding
wound in the dog 5 head he feared that the
canine would die, and was so overcome
with remorse that he mixed up dose OF
/
the concoction. The boy evidently be-
came frightened in a short tine, and when
he told what he had done the hired man
hitched up a team and brought him 10
this village as rapidly as possible. The
poison was taken soon after dinner, and
therefore its effects were not felt very soon.
Had the poison been taken on an empty
stomach it would have been impossible to
have saved the boys life after he was
brought here DR.. Gale administered
powerful emetics, and gave the boy atten.
ton for two or three hours when he was
pronounced ont of danger, and was taken
home.
