Poisoned cucumbers threaten Scranton family of Babrick
The family of Henry F. Babrick, a noted Scranton merchant, narrowly escaped death from a mysterious poison likely absorbed at supper via cucumbers. Two young boys remain seriously ill, one potentially unrecoverable. Poison possibly traced to fly paper toxin placed on a pantry shelf and drippings into vinegar. Doctors analyze the fly poison as investigators consider damp cellar storage as a factor.
