NALS Tues. 6 Apr 1875 p4 c4: Death by Poisoning—A negro
boy named Gibson, son of Andy Gibson,
aged about six years, died this morning from the effects of poison. The negro
boy visited a white boy living near the Northern Cemetery, and tasted medicine
which was administered for chills to the white boy. It had the taste of
whiskey, and the negro boy took a heavy dose and died almost instantly. He went
into the yard, fell prostrate, and died while being carried into the house. The
boy's body smelled fearfully after a short time, and his most intimate
acquaintances could not recognize him an hour after his death. The Coroner was
sent for and it is expected he will hold an inquest over the body. We learn
that the white boy is also in a dangerous condition, and fears are entertained
that he cannot live. The matter should be thoroughly investigated, and the
druggist and physician concerned be compelled to clear their skirts or suffer.

evening previous, started home, and when about two hundred yards from home, had
been rendered incapable of walking, either by the cold or by the effects of the
whisky, most probably the latter, and had crawled on his hand and knees, as
could be seen by the tracks on the ground, to a point within seventy-five yards
of his house, when he laid down and died. A Coroner's jury was empanelled and a
verdict of death from drunkenness and exposure rendered.
