Attempt at Poisoning
Lee Murphy, aged about 40, negro,
who resides in West Wateree near the
Fairfield line, was placed in jail last
Thursday on a charge of trying to
poison his stepmother, Ellen Murphy.
From evidence gathered by Sheriff
McLeod, the woman got Murphy to
have her some corn grouncHlHo meal
and asked another man in her absence
to cook up some of the meal for the
puppies and chickens. The bread was
fed to the puppies and they took sick
and died immediately. Suspecting
something wrong the woman brought
the remainder of bread to the sheriff
who sent it to a chemist and the
analysis showed that it contained calcium
arsenate. A barrel containing
calcium arsenate was found nearby
and it is thought that claim on property
rights may have caused Murphy
to wapt to get rid of his step,
mother. , , ?
