The Granton. Poisoning Case.
A.ddltional particulars have .reached us of
the melancholy poisoning of the two chil-
dren ot Mr. Thomas Rigney, a farmer who
resides in the township of Biddulph, on the
town line of Blanshard,about two miles from.
Granton, a brief resume of which appeared
in these columns last week. It appears that
Mrs. Rigney fancied her two children, one
a girl ten years of age, and the other alittle -
boy, four years old, were troubled with
worms, and in pursuance of her wish sent
her husband to Dr. Lang's drug store is the
village to secure powders for them,. and also
half a pound of salts. The doctor asked his
clerk to inix some santonins and gray pow-
ders for the children, and stocd by while his
ass stint prepared four powders. On ar-
riving home Mr. Rigney handed the medi-
cines to his wife, and shortly afterwards
retired to bed, taking the little f.J ow' alo•'g
with him, a few minutes after 1• 1- d tak-
en the medicine which hi:; is -el' par had
prepared for him. The girl z. ea -Tao giv-
en her share of the medicire 1 l sent
to bed in another portion of 5'-a house,
Scarcely five minutes elapsed 1..iore the
boy alarmed his father by screaming
from the pain he suffered, and acting as if
the contortions he was undergoing were the
result of poisoning by some pronounced
poisonous drug. The screams of the youth
brought the mother to the bedside, and Mr.
Rigney enquired what she had given him.
She replied that she had given him the pow-
der in a cup, and had mixed it with warm
water, which she had taken out of thekettle.
Mr. Wrigney saw his boy writhing in ter-
rible agony, and set off immediately for Dr.
Lang. Before he returned the lad had se-
cumbed to the poison. While gone for the
dcctor, the girl experienced similar symp-
toms, which lasted an hour and a half before
ending fatally. .l)r. Lang enquired of Mrs.
Rigney what site had given the children,
and she replied that she had administered
one powder to each and had also given a
q nantity of epsom salts, The doctor enquir-
ed if she kept arsenic or strychnine in the
house, and was told that a bottle containing
strychnine, which had been used to kill rats,
had been in the cupboard for two or three
years. This was produced and taken in
charge. Dr. Hossack, of Lucian, Coroner,
was interviewed
regarding
the affair, and
after consulting Mr. Charles Hutchinson,
an inquest was decided upon, and subse-
quently a post ntortent examination. Dr.
Sutton, who assisted in the latter, ascertain-
ed that the remainder of the salts and two
of the four powders had been takenin charge
by Squire Moo -bray, and sealed in an en-
velope, to he used at the inquest. These he
secured and examined, demonstrating that
there was no poisonous substance in the
powders, by partaking of each one. He
asked VIr. Rigney what had become of the
other powder', and was informedthat he had
given it to a cat, about an hour and a half
previously, and had locked the "tabby' 'in
a room to ascertain is at effect the powder
would have on `pussy.' The doctor deman-
ded. to see the cat, andon Mr. Wrigneyopen-
