Poison Bread Sicken Family in Brownwood Texas
In Brownwood Texas a bread loaf laced with poison sickened a family and killed four members. The husband H A Lonnie Jones 40 and son Hubert 15 died, Hillary 8 and E V 6 died, wife and younger children hospitalized. County health officer Dr C W Gray says the poison was in bread bought two years ago for grasshopper extermination. The family had farmed near town but crops failed last summer and money ran out. Mrs Jones recovered enough to tell officers the meal Monday used the last bread in the house.
