DRANK CARBOLIC ACID.
Two Doctors Worked For Hours in Vain Ef-
fort to Save Her.
,__.._......
NEW HAVEN, Dec. 29.—~Mrs. Maria
Carney, aged 32, wife of James Carney,
the brother of John Carney, the Demo-
cratic registrar of voters, died last
evening at her home, 90 Carlisle street,
from the results of drinking carbolic
ac1d which she had taken by mistake
thinking it was medicine for the grip.
Mrs. Carney has been ill for several
days and had in a closet in the house
some medicine which she was taking
regularly. Her daughter has also been
ill for some time and the mother had
been attending her night and day.
Consequently she was in a state of men-
tal collapse, which rendered the mis-
take all the easier.
When Dr. Sheehan was called to the
house, at 4 o’clock, soon after Mrs. Car-
ney had swallowed the acid, she was in
a comatose state and dying and he sent
for Dr. Butler. Together the two phy-
sicians worked over her for three or
four hours and applied all the remedies
known to the profession, but they were
of no avail and Mrs. Carney died at
10 o’clock.
Medical Examiner White was .noti-
lied and certified that the. death was
due to accident.
