He reached into his pocket and produced two vials, the contents of one of which he swallowed. His horrow stricken mother rushed across the street to the office of Dr. C. J. Otto and requested him to come over. He administered emetics and soon after young Knappenberger was seized with spells of vomiting, during which all the poison was ejected. He however, said that he would yet kill himself. In the meantime, Knappenberger’s mother had gone out in the rear yard, where she was followed by Dr. Otto, who arrived just in time to catch her as she was falliing over in what he supposed was a fainting fit. She was removed into the house, where she was found to be suffering from a stroke of apoplexy and from which she later died. She was 68 years of age and was the widow of the late Harrison Knappenberger, who died about nine years ago.
