Put Poison in the Tea
A Barnardo Boy who Attempts to Kill his Employer who had cuffed him for Insolence

The Stories of the Two Person

Huntsville, July 22
An attempt to murder his benefactor, with whom he has lived for three years, was perpetrated by a Barnardo boy in the township of Brunell. The prisoner, Robert Webster, who is only 11 years of age, has hitherto borne a good character and lived with a farmer named Henry Lewis, who on Saturday last, was preparing for a trip to Huntsville. The boy asked permission to accompany Lewis and was refused. This angered him and he began using abusive language to Lewis, who cuffed his ears and sent him into the house.

When Lewis returned home Saturday night he went to the cupboard for a drink of cold tea. He swallowed a few mouthfuls and shortly afterwards complained of a burning sensation in his throat. On examining the teapot he found a quantity of Paris green in the bottom. The prompt administration of an emetic saved his life.

Further investigation disclosed that a packet of Paris green had been opened and part of the contents abstracted. The youth was placed in custody and committed for trial at Bracebridge. The boy admits his guilt and says he wanted to "fix" Lewis for not taking him to Huntsville. The prisoner is a smart, intelligent lad, but at times given to fits of temper and will stay in the sulks for days at a time. Lewis asserts that the boy was always well cared for and he cannot account for his attempt at murder, except on the theory of inherited criminal tendencies. Young Webster on the other hand claims that he was ill treated. His interests will be looked after by officers of the home on Toronto.
