Police outline new evidence in Toole case at South Boston
The police present a long list of alleged motives and steps leading to the poisoning of the Toole family. They claim Michael Toole bought cyanide at Carter & Hines and that milk or porter was tainted, with a will favoring the wife used as motive. They say a bottle and poison traces were moved, a trunk held poison, and that science will tie the events to a deliberate act rather than accident.
