Mrs. Jacob Yochum and her son William were found dead in their home in Fostoria by the police. The bodies of mother and son laid on the floor of her bedroom, where they had been for at least thirty-six hours. Cause of death was poisoned by strychnine washed down by water. A year and a half ago, Mrs. Yochum divorced her husband. Despondency over this and the fat that her so was suffering from an incurable disease is supposed to have been the reason for the deed.
