Tragedy on Twenty eighth Street Murder by Mother
A German immigrant mother in New York killed her three children with poison after a life of poverty and distress. Anthony aged at four, Charles seven, and the youngest, Christopher, died within hours after ingesting the poison mixed by their mother who then confessed to police. The crime followed a bitter fight over keeping the children after their father’s death and poverty drove her to drastic acts. The two oldest boys died first, the youngest showed signs of struggle, and the mother was later arrested and committed to await the coroner.
