Duly Divorced
Pop Corn Creates Contention
Some Serious Charges
In April, 1892, Clara Cory, daughter of John Cory, married Alva Carter, an industrious young farmer. At the present term of circuit court the wife brought suit for divorce, charging that on Sunday, January 13th her husband attempted to poison her by placing rough on rats in a crock of pop corn. Defendant denies this story in total. The wife, in her evidence, stated that on the date in question her husband popped some corn and she melted sugar and poured over it, in a crock. About 2 p.m. she went to a neighbors on a visit and remained until 5 p.m. When she returned Carter was at the barn. While she attended to her work she ate occasionally of the popcorn, finally ate a piece of pumpkin pie and drank two glasses of milk. She was taken sick in the night, her mother was sent for, Dr. Harris was summoned, and after she was easier, Dr. Harris was given the crock containing the water, the corn having been thrown in the fire by Carter. Dr. Harris is said to have found arsenic in the water.
On Thursday before the 13th the wife says Carter threatened her because she did not get dinner.
The husband testified that he knew the poison was in the house, but had not seen it for some time, and it was not until Thursday after the trouble recited that he found out he had been accused of poisoning her. He said he ate as much corn as his wife did, and stated that as he stirred the syrup he noticed a green scum, and threw three spoonsful into a bucket. He had complained himself of not feeling well. When his wife was taken sick in the night, he made a mustard plaster for her and stated that he threw the corn into the fire at her request and got the water in the crock to bathe her feet, having no thought of the suspicions of his wife. He said that he and his wife had not had any serious trouble before, and that after the charge of poisoning she came back and lived with him three weeks.
The mother (Mrs. Cory) testified that her daughter told her that she thought she had been poisoned and asked her to get the crock, which she did and gave it to Dr. Harris. She said her daughter was sick all night, and when well she took her home because she was afraid her husband would kill her, as she believed him crazy. Dr. Harris stated that he took the water from the crock that Mrs. Cory gave him, had it analyzed, and found a large amount of arsenic – enough to kill several people. He told Carter of his discovery, and he made denial, saying that he knew nothing whatever of how the poison got into the crock. Little or no evidence was introduced as a cause for divorce aside from the alleged poisoning. Judge Miers granted Mrs. Carter a divorce, $100 alimony and the possession of the 10-month old child.
