The Aiken Reporter 14 July 1883 July 14, 1883
page 1

A Spartan dispatch says that the family of Andrew Daniel, a planter, living three 
miles from that town, while at breakfast last Friday morning discovered something 
wrong in the taste of the coffee. The coffee pot was emptied into a slop bucket in 
order to draw a fresh pot. Two dogs drank from the bucket and shortly went into 
convulsions, which, however, did not result fatally, owing to the dilution of the 
coffee with the contents of the bucket. A search revealed the fact that a bottle 
of strychnine, was missing. Two negro men and a colored house-girl have been 
arrested on suspicion and lodged in jail.
