A young boy from Los Gatos, CA poisons his foster parents. Or does he? All parties waffle back and forth quite a lot on whether the offense ever even took place. With stories of hypnotism, Spiritualism, and a bizarrely-placed newspaper advertisement.

“Boy poisoner now declares tale untrue,” San Francisco Examiner, April 17, 1911.
“Boy poisoner still sticks to first story,” San Francisco Chronicle, April 16, 1911.
“Doctors smile at Mrs. Bazus' story,” San Francisco Examiner, April 6, 1911.
“Mother barred from seeing boy 'poisoner',” San Francisco Examiner, April 11, 1911.
“Still insists he drugged Mrs. Bazus,” San Francisco Examiner, April 7, 1911.
“Think boy was hypnotized by fakir,” San Francisco Examiner, April 8, 1911.
