Attempt at death by own action fails in poisoning case
Joseph Schneider drank a mixture of coffee and strychnine then tried to hide the cup. His wife summoned neighbors and a physician who saved him with a stomach pump. He claimed the dose was accidental after going to get a stomach powder following supper on North Broadway. He is about forty, once worked for Crane Bros, and his actions sparked a dramatic critique of a moneyed antagonist in a separate play review.
