CUB CHANGES ARE DISCUSSED Chicago, Oct. 15. —(U.R) With Pat Malone and Hack Wilson as trading material and plenty of cash to throw into the bargain, the Chicago Cubs are expected to make several important trades during the coming winter. The Cubs want a pennant-win-ning ball club next season and Messrs. Wrigley. Veeck and Hornsby are going to make every effort ’ to land at least two National league stars within the next month to bolster a third-place club. One of the players the Cubs want' is Ed Brandt. Boston Braves'! southpaw who won 18 games and' lost 11 the past season. Th" Cubs, have made many deals with the I Braves in past years and they are 1 prepared to offer several players, and a bundle of cash for Brandt. I If Brandt is unavailable the Cubs! would be willing to talk trade on Ered Frankhouse. righthander who ; is said also to be coveted by the! New York Giants. Hack Wilson is likely to land up; with Brooklyn or Cincinnati. The ; Cubs would like to use him in a ■ deal with the Robins for outfielder! Babe Herman or in a swap with i the Reds for pitcher Red Lucas. The Cubs attempted to buy Lucas! a year ago but the price was too high. It has been reported that Brook-! lyn is willing to trade Dazzy Vance: for Wilson, but the Cubs do not ' want Vance, who is nearing the; end of his career. Another player that the Cubs' will dicker for is outfielder Paul Waner of Pittsburgh. If the Cubs can make a deal for a catcher from some other club they might be will- i ing to exchange Gabby Hartnett i for the Pirates’ speedster. To build the Cubs into a pen-1 nant-winner Hornsby figures that he needs at least one new outfielder. and possibly two. a star lefthanded pitcher, a third baseman. and another capable catcher. Hornsby is expected to confer with President Veeck within the next month, and outline his plans.. Whatever plays Hornsby thinks 1 are needed to make the Cubs a I pennant contender, he is going to, get full authority to go after. o—*“s I DEL I nTe S * South Bend.

(CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE) tion under circumstances similar to those on the picnic day last June. "It had taken about three minutes to put the strychnine in the sandwiches n front of the Pollard home." Mrs. White testified. “We opened all of the top six sandwiches and three of the capsules were broken. Those were in the meat. The three on the lettuce leaves were slick and shiny. "Those in the other sandwiches, that were put in at the Simmons s house, were dissolved. We couldn't pick u.p any of the parts and nothing but the powder was ' there." ’ The drive began at 7 a.m. and it was nearly noon when the party | reached the picnic grounds, Mrs. White explained. The capsules, evidence has ie-1 vealed. which were found in the I sandwiches after the fatal picnic.! were in such a condition that they could be seen, and one of them was used for examination. But Mrs White said the ones in the experiment at Greenfield were nearly dissolved while those plan--1 ed in the food at Ix>banbn only were broken at the ends. She said she made the experiment while John Simmons, husband of the defendant, other re'a- > tives. and friends watched. The chicken was prepared the night before and spread on buns early the next morning. Sept. 19. Six sandwiches were placed itv a marshmallow can free of poison, the second six had strychnine capsules imbedded in them, and the third half doz n were untouched. The group left in a car and drove to Indianapolis, where they stopped at the municipal airport. They then halted at a bird hath sales place and then drove to the Pollard home in Lebanon, Here, she testified. Mrs. White placed three capsules in the meat in the last sandwiches made, and three on the lettuce. Mrs. White told the court that a few nights after the sandwich experiment neighbors met to pray for Mrs. Simmons. The defense again struck at Horace Jackson. lrother-in-law of Mrs. Simmons’ Husband, with inis timations that he may have beem the poison killer. Msss Martha Barlow, Lebanon hospital nurse, said that while Jackson was confined there with a poison illness, he raid: “I wonder who ’ried to get me. It must have been Carrie; she made the sandwiches." o Dry Agent Arrested Indianapolis, Oct. 15 — (UP)--Patrick A.
