POIS BY STRYCHNINE Children Found Writhing on Bank of River—One Dead and Second May Not Live. Waterbury, April 13.—Five year old Joseph Raccynskl is dead and Anthony Gedrat, age six, is in Bt. Mary’'s hospital here not expected to live, as a result of what is thought to be strychnine poisoning. The boys, who lived on the Thomaston Road about three miles from this city, were found writhing in convulsions on the east bank of the Naugatuck river late Wednesday evening. They had gone to the river bank to play “fishing” and were missed when they did not re« turn to their homes for the evening meal. A hurried search revealed the two lads lylng on the rocks unconscious and at widely separated points of the river bank. It is not known how the children obtained the poison as the nearest quantity of strychnine is kept in the dispensary of the Chase Metal Works, situated at a considerable distance ‘downstream from the scene of the tragedy.
