NORMAL SCHOOL GIRL ESCAPES POISON PLOT

Hildred Schmidt Gets Bottle of Quinine In Mail, But Mother's Warning Prevents Use,

A warning from her mother after the exposure of the so-called poison package plot kept Miss Mildred Schmidt, 32 North Fifth street, a student at the Indiana State Normal school, from making any use of a bottle of quinine sent to her through the mails. The poison plot took a new turn recently when Francis Edward Drescher, coroner of Owen county, was found dead after it was reported that the authorities had ltnked evidence which connected Drescher with the alleged plot as one of its leaders. MVs. Schmidt's father, Charles Schmidt, received the bottle at his home in Coal City and the mother gave it to her daughter before coming to this city to enter the Normal school. "When seen Friday Miss Schmidt said •he had been warned by a letter from her mother not to take the medicine. She said she had packed the blue bottle In her trunk when she started for school but had not taken any of the medicine. The quinine was in built, she said. She said it had not been tested to determine whether it contained poison.

Warned by Mother.

"The bottle came by mall in a package and father opened it," said Miss 4 Schmidt. "The bottle is marked 'qui'Xtlne' and I just took It with me as a precaution in case of sickness. "Mother wrote to me and told me oot to take it- I can't see any reason for persons sending the quinine to us.

Father has no enemies who would do !«uch a thing." Miss Schmidt said her uncle, Louis

Schmidt, a bank cashier, had lost his daughter through natural death four years ago and that Drescher was the undertaker. Mr. Schmidt advances the opinion that the only motive he could possibly see for the so-called poison package being sent to him was Drescher's desire for business.

"That la an almost -unbelievable moitlvB," he Is quoted as saying. "It cant be true that a man would attempt to kill his friends for financial gain.

Drescher and I were always friendly."

In answer to questions, Secretary Bryan replied: "I cannot divulge anything that happens in cabinet meetings."

The meeting lasted for two hours.
