Kate Obenchain, wife of j. f. Obal-
chain of Roanoke. was killed by her
f6r c-year-old son, who in a spirit of
childish mischievousness put poison
n Il cup OF salts that his mother had
prepared to take. After she had
mixed the draught Mrs. Obenchain
was called suddenly from the dining
room into the kitchen, leaving the
Gun and its contents on the table.
The child climbed upon a chair and
emptied sixty-fve antiseptic tablets
into the cup.
Mrs. Obenchain swallowed the
contents an hour later, and was soon
suffering intense pain in her stom-
ach. When the boy was questioned
he said he had been mixing medicine
like mamma, and the empty antisep-
septic bottle told the dreadful tale.
Doctors said that enough poison had
been put in the salts to kill twoscore
people. Mrs Obenchain, who was
twenty-three years old, died in great
agony.
