Suicide and Attempted Murder of Three Children

James Whitehead, was 57 years of age, a widower, living in a cottage with three children, twins.

It appears he opened some powders and gave them to the children telling them it was medicine and they should spread it on some bread and eat it. One child objected to doing this and asked to do this whilst eating a meal and drinking water.

A neighbour noticed the children were all ill and, on going upstairs, found the wretched man lying on the bed, unable to speak.

Mr Wright, a surgeon, found he had been poisoned with the same poison used by the children which was normally used to kill vermin. The children survived.

The surgeon was of the opinion that the children escaped death on account of the father not having sufficiently well mixed the powder.

Deceased had been a weaver, but in consequence of impaired eyesight, his employer, Mr Appleyard, of Wheatley, provided him with a more suitable job in the warehouse.

He had been a widower for about three years.

His house was a scene of great wretchedness
