Stricken Mother in Story of Boy Death
Mrs Leona Staley mother of John Staley six who died from a dose of atropine prescribed by Dr W L Haworth of the city dispensary is in serious condition from the shock. Coroner Blackwell's daughter Catherine Blackwell visited the Staley home to take testimony. The mother described the boy's suffering as he could not move and convulsed before dying. She said dispensary doctors urged waiting then promised to send help. Dr Jewett V Reed testified Haworth arranged for Dr Montani to take care of cases while Haworth was away. Haworth spent thirty six hours weekly at the dispensary and said outside work was necessary to hire, with city expenses listed at twelve thousand dollars and college nursing support. An ambulance driver, Taylor Jackson, admitted to an interest in a saloon.
