Lynch, Leslie

  Leslie, a little son of James Lynch, whose home is on a farm near Berlin, is 
dead as the result of eating pills that contained strychnine. A brother of the 
child gave a box of pills to the little one with which to play, the box came 
open and the child ate a number of them. The little one became very ill and it 
was not until the mother searched for the pills and found only a few of them 
remaining that the cause was ascertained. Death ensued a few hours later.
