Man

A man died from carbolic poisoning.

He had gone to Dale Street Police Station and said that some American sailors had given him something in a pub which had made his head go around.

He was taken to the station and then to a hospital where he later died.

When he first went to the police station, he was first taken to the main bridewell but when a whiff of carbolic acid was noticed he was taken to the hospital but died within 30 minutes.

A professor said that carbolic acid was never administered for criminal purposes and that symptoms of carbolic acid poisoning might be taken for drunkenness.

An open verdict was returned.
