Your recollections are incorrect. The "Candyman" as he was called poisoned only his own two children for the insurance money. Only one child died. And what I found shocking was the number of people who showed up to protest his execution--including his pen pal, a Texas A&M student who believed he was a nice person. The "Candyman" was named Ronald Clark O'Brien and he was executed on March 31, not Halloween. He did ,however, ruin Halloween for many , many children.

Remarkable conclusion to this story. (dial-up warning, large pic) freshwest Apr 2013 #1
