Dangerous Coffee

I noticed this little piece in an old journal from 2004 today.

I visited the doctor today. In the room waiting for him to arrive I read an article about a little, white clapboard Lutheran Church in Maine. Last year most of the church board got sick and one member died from poisoning. They discovered that someone had thrown a handful of arsnic into the coffee pot. Later that night a former board member took his life claiming responsibility for the deed.

They say he was a nice man. Some thought he may have been upset because a communion table his family donated was not being used.
