ALLEGED FATAL MISTAKE.
WAREHOUSE WORKER CHARGED. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. As a sequel to the death from strychnine poisoning of Charles Boddy, aged 53, after he drank a preparation which he believed to be slippery elm bark, George Alexander Rowson, aged 30, was charged in the Police Court with manslaughter. Evidence was given on the lines of that at the inquest, at which the coroner found that a most unfortunate error had been made in the making up of a preparation in a warehouse. Rowson pleaded not guilty and was committed for trial.
