Tuesday, February 8, 1876 pg. 3 ANOTHER ONE Another case of morphine poisoning occurred on Skiddy street Sunday night, which resulted in the death of Mrs. Sullivan, a widow and mother of several children, one of which, a mere child, was with her, living in a house of doubtful reputation. She took the morphine as stated, with evident intention of taking her own life. She had asked one of the girls if she would take care of her little boy if anything should happen to her in a few days. As soon as it was known that she had taken the poison, Dr. Johnson was called, who administered an antidote. She appeared to improve, and was thought to be out of danger, when Dr. Johnson left her; but it appears she was taken worse and despite the exertions of Dr. Feild, who was called died about noon on Monday.
