She collapsed in a few seconds, exclaiming that she was poisoned. Miller, not believing her, tasted the wine, and then began to feel ill. He ran to summon a doctor, but was overcome en route. His wife had meanwhile expired. Miller is not expected to recover. An empty wine bottle was found containing sufficient strychnine to kill a dozen.
