It is believed there is little chance for his recovery. Reports from Bay Minette state that McMillan took five bicholoride of mercury tablets after buying them from a druggist with the explanation that he wanted to kill a cat. McMillan is said to have taken the tablets while standing on a street in Bay Minette. A few moments later he told a bystander he had taken them, and asked that a doctor be called. |
