Indianpoli- Aug. 24. —Lydia Strati ton, the white woman who died at the hospi’al Fr: ’ay night, several hours 1 after being found in a negro restaurant at the corner of Indiana and Cap i itol avenues, was held in captivity and brutally assaulted by a number o' negroes who hang around the place. Coroner Tutewiler deciar«s. He said last night that he has several men under suspicion and stated that arrests would be likely to follow his investigation. According to the story told by the proprietor of the restaurant the Strari ton woman first entered his place ' about 4 o'clock Friday morning in an , intoxicated condition and asked for a glass of water When she was given i the water she took a package out of ! her pocket’ ack and emptied the conI tents, a white powder, into the glass | and drank it. Shortly after she had drunk the water she lay down on a cot in a rear room and went to sle"p. Her condition, according to the story of the roaro. was not considered very j seriocs until an hour before the dispensary was notified.
