DRANK PRUSSIC ACID

LEWIS CHAXDLER. A DRK.GIST, CHOSE A QUICK DEATH. He Drained the Contents of the Poison Phial In HI Store on Massachusetts Avenue. CAUSED BY BUSINESS WORRIES HIS AFFAIRS DID SOT PROSPER AND HIS HEALTH FAILED. Chandler Formerly Was Employed by Julia Haag and Had a Large Acquaintance. Lewis Chandler, a druggist at 217 Massachusetts avenue, swallowed an ounce of Prusslc acid last night at 7:30 o'clock. He died five minutes later in the City Dispensary ambulance, while being taken to the City Hospital. The only apparent reason that has been assigned for Chandler taking his life was melancholia, brought on by a not too successful business. Chandler has been under the care of Dr. D. L. Kahn the past month for nervousness. Last night he had an engagement with the doctor, and when the latter heard the telephone ring he thought it was Chandler notifying him that he was coming to the office. Instead it was a message from one of Chandler's friends telling of Chandler's death. Four months ago Chandler left the employ of Julius Haag, a North Pennsylvaniastreet druggist, for whom he had worked fifteen years. When Haag moved from the Denison House across the street Chandler decided to go into business for himself. He opened a drug store on Massachusetts avenue Just off Pennsylvania street. For a while his business prospered. Then it began to lag and Chandler was confronted with the seriousness of his ousiness venture. He was enterprising and worked nearly seventeen hours each day. v 1th the organization of the new business he took into his employment a young man named Walter Donnan, of Danville, as clerk. Donnan is not a regular pharmacist, and for this reason' Chandler often remained in the store at night to look after the prescriptions. When the business began to wane Donnan noticed that his employer was not in his usual mood. EXAMINED POISONS. Chandler would often go to the prescription case where poisons were kept and examine each bottle closely. Donnan, knowing that Chandler was under a physician's care for nervous troubles, began to fear that he might some day harm himself. With this in view he kept a close watch on Chandler. The climax came last night between 6 and 7 o'clock, when Donnan saw Chandler walk to the case where the poisons are kept and secure a small bottle. Donnan rushed to the rear of the room and grabbed the bottle from Chandlr. A struggle followed between the two men for possession of the bottle. Donnan finally gave it to Chandler, who reprimanded the clerk for his action. Chandler told Donnan to return to the front part of the store and attend to the customers, saying that he was able to take care of himself. He said that he had been too long in the drug business to handle the poison phials In a careless manner. Donnan returned to the front part of the store to wait on Conrad Mueller, who had called to make a purchase. While Donnan was handing a package to Mueller he saw Chandler reach again to the poison case and take down a bottle of prusslc acid. Before Donnan could reach the rear of the prescription case Chandler had pulled the topper and drank the contents of the bottle. Donnan made a lunge for Chandler, but the latter fell to the floor unconscious. Thoroughly frightened, Donnan ran from the store into Massachusetts avenue and called for help. Several of the neighbors ran into the store and Donnan told them briefly what had happened. Drs. H. L Jones and R. W. Long were quickly summoned. The City Dispensary had also been notified and Dr. Schenck hurried to the store on his bicycle. When he learned what had taken place he ordered the ambulance, and a hurried run was made to the City Hospital. When Dr. Schenck arrived Chandler showed a slight pulse, which gave the doctors some hope. Chandler retained his pulse until the ambulance was being driven Into the yard at the hospital, when he died. The doctors said that when they arrived Chandler was beyond medical attention. Prusslc acid when taken In more quantity than two drops is sure death. Chandler had taken an ounce, and It is considered remarkable that he lived as long as Ave minutes. WAS WELL KNOWN. Chandler was well known In this city, having worked fifteen years for Julius Haag at the Denison House pharmacy. During his employment there Chandler Is known to have worked very hard. While In this employment he made a number of acquaintances. Hs was thirty-five years old, was married and leaves a widow and one child, a little girl four years old. Chandler's wife, recognizing within the past month the decline of his health, ad1 him to suspend his business and take a rest. She placed him In charge of Dr, D. L. Kahn, who lives on Twenty-second street. Dr. Kahn was a friend of Chandler's, and the latter had arranged through the doctor to sell the drug store on Massachusetts avenue. Dr. Kahn last night said he had partially made arrangements with Maurice Schwartz, a druggist at Twentysecond street and Talbott avenue, to purchase Chandler's stock. He said he advised Chandler to get out of the business, as otherwise the nervous trouble through which he was passing would within a short time unbalance his mind. Mrs. Chandler called at her husband's drug store yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock and tried to persuade him to leave tho store for the evening and retire to his home and get some rest. He walked to the front door with her and told her that he would not go home until 8 o'clock, when he had an engagement with Dr. Kahn. He bade his wife good-bye and the latter re turned to her home at 2450 North Pennsylvania street. When told last night about her husband's death Mrs. Chandler became hysterical. She was inconsolable throughout the night. MERCHANTS ASSOCIATION. At Dinner Monday Nicht Coliseum Project Will Be Discussed. The regular monthly meeting of the Merchants Association, which was to have been held last night, has been postponed until Monday night. At this time the association will place itself on record in regard to the coliseum project. As the association was the financial sponsor, in a large way, of the festival and horse show, the success of which awakened new Interest in the coliseum. It is expected that the association will take action characteristic of its business methods. President Ferd L. Mayor, of the association. In one of the earliest advocates of a coliseum. His long connection with the May Music Festival Association was his education, and he says that with a coliseum Indianapolis may revive these annual entertainments with profit. "The Merchants' Association," said he last night. "Is making a conspicuous success in its purposes. Our business In rebates to out-of-town customers during the month completed to-day is double that of a year ago." Burning of Health Board Apparatus. Dr. Eugene Buehler. city sanitarian, and the board's chemist, Ansll Moffat, Incline to the belief that the fire which destroyed much of the board's testing apparatus was of Incendiary origin. Moffatt says he left the office between 9:90 and 10 o'clock, and as hs did so saw a man in the basement

corridor. He did not give this much attention at the time, but when he discovered traces of alcuhol about the burned cabinet and discovered a window leading to the courthouse yard open he concluded that Incendiarism was probable. Dr. Buehler is now leaning to the same theory. He says If it was an incendiary it was a dairyman or dealer In impure food, who sought to cripple the board's work against impure foods. This will not result, however, he says, as the board has plenty of apparatus to continue Its tests. PROGRAMME ISSUED.

McClain, secretary of the service, and will be sent to all officers of the Indiana National Guard.

TIFULLY DECORATED. ' Result of a Visit with Other Candidates to the Parry Manufacturing Plant. Booth Tarkington, in finer feathers than those In which he arrayed Monsieur Beaucaire, demonstrated beyond all doubt yesterday afternoon that as a campaigner and a mixer he is a furlong ahead of all entries, and going fast. As a handshaker and dispenser of pleasing conversation to the "fellow-citizen" Mr. Tarkington has really set a new mark, and all that apart, too, from his reputation as a "literary feller." He made a big hit yesterday and in competition with past masters in the difficult art of man-to-man campaigning. It is not every political neophyte that would take the bit between his teeth and go forth with such veteran "salvlsts" as "Cy" Clark. "Bill" Davis, Oliver Ensley, "Bob" Metzger, Lew Shank, "Joe" Morgan and Harry Tutewiler to set the pace for him, but that is what Tarkington did, and he managed to carry off the honors easily and signally. After getting back from a public sale In Pike township in the morning, Tarkington joined a party of candidates early In the afternoon, which was made up of Clark, Metsger, Shank, Davis, Tutewiler and Joseph MoVgan. The candidates took with them 1,600 cigars and passed through the streets disseminating an odor like a tobacco factory. The crowd brought up at the office of the D. M. Parry Manufacturing Company, where it was taken in charge by John Ahearn, one of the superintendents. Ahearn glanced at their clothes, and particularly at Tarkington's suit, which was a fine specimen of the tailor's art, beautifully creased. He made no comment, but his expression was prophetic of the finish of the clothes. TARKINGTON INTRODUCED. From room to room in the big factory the crowd went, with Tarkington in the lead. To every employe the author was Introduced by name by the superintendent, and the rest of the candidates, who knew most of the men, made themselves agreeable. Tarkington had a phrase of greeting always at his tongue's end and succeeded in creating the same kind of an atmosphere around him that made Tom Taggart famous. His pleasant grin was beautiful to see, his words were luscious with pleasure and the grip of his hand was like that of a long-lost brother. But the grip of the hand was his undoing. In the paint room employes dropped all work when the candidates, headed by Tarkington, came in. The workmen looked I like the palettes that artists use to smear j on when they have a little too much paint on tneir Drusnes. rney were rrescoed In every color of the rainbow. Their faces and hands were paint-covered and coats of varnish made them glisten and shine. All that, however, had no terrors for Tarkington, who was taking them as he found them, going and coming. He grasped one brilliantly-decorited hand after the other. until his own hands took on several shades that are seen usually only on buggies of Parry manufacture. Now and then a workman would hesitate. "Oh, Mr. Tarkington," he would say, "I can t shake hands; they are all covered with paint." "Put her there!" Tarkington would say. "They are no worse than mine." These little dialogues kept on until gradually the immaculate suit became paint splotched and striped. After an hour in the factory it was ruined, but Tarkington was having too good a time to care. The other candidates had fared a little better because the most of them had prepared in advance for the visit and had donned old clothes the value of which could not be Injured by a few paint spots. The air was stifling hot inside the factory and everybody In the crowd but Tarkington threw his coat open or took It off altogether. Tarkington kept his tightly buttoned even while the perspiration rolled down his forehead and over the tip of his nose. He suffered, that was evident, but still the coat remained inflexibly buttoned. THE FANCY VEST. "For heaven's sake, man!" whispered Cy Clark to him. "why don't you open up that coat and get cooled off? You will roast if you keep that closed up." Tarkington, with a grin towards a knot of workmen, whispered back: "Darn it all I can't! I've got on a fancy vest!" "He thought the suit would go through all right." said "Cy," "but he knew instinctively that that vest was too much." When the party got out of the factory everybody was paint covered but happy. The stains were removed partly by a liberal application of naphtha, but the many-hued designs on the hands of Tarkington will remain until after he is elected to the Legislature as vivid reminders of a little campaign junketing. "Have a look." said he yesterday, "and observe what a beautiful piece of work this is. I secured it by the most impartial methods. I desired first a mosaic of fast colors and then varnish to properly set them. To get all this I would shake hands first with a man that was painting a blue wagon; he would leave his mark. Then I would grasp enthusiastically the hand of a fellow-cltiz n that was putting a coat of red to a buggy. By the Judicious application of the proper amount of pressure I would get his contribution placed right in the color scheme. Noting a workman engaged in decorating running gears with yellow stripes 1 would shake hands with him and he would relieve the darker colors Green was added and several shades of brown. For a few moments I contemplated black, but gave It up as too funereal under the circumstances. Lastly I made a round of the varntshers and completed the hand painting with a thick coat of preservative. The whole was startling but satisfactory In perfection of details " (lark. Morgan and the rest say that Tarkington hns developed Into a splen.ild campaigner. He takes w. 11 with the men. His manner Is unassuming and more than cordial. He always says the right thing and goes away tearing the Impression that he Is not only a bright fellow, but a good fellow in the beat senae of that comprehensive term.

AL90 PLACED UNDER ARREST. Detectives Say tbat Several More Important Arrests Will Soon Be Made Will C ontinue- the Crusade. John McEndree, arrested Thursday night in Martinsville on the charge of larceny, on Information furnished hy the Indianapolis police department, was brought to this city yesterday afternoon by Detective Asch and charged with disturbing graves. When brought here McEndree declared that he was Innocent of any crime. When taken Into thp detectives' office and closely questioned by Superintendent Taffe and Detectives Asch and Manning, McEndree confessed that he had assisted in stealing dead bodies. He said that during the year 1901 he, in company with Rufus Cantrell and several of the negro ghouls now under arrest, stole more than twenty bodies. He said that he was the man that stole the body of Ebenezer Perry from Cherry Grove Cemetery, south of the city. He also said he had stolen the body of Mrs. Caroline Tyler . from Jones's Chapel Cemetery in November of last year. He said he has not stolen a body this year. The other bodies taken, McEndree said, were those stolen from the township graveyard near Acton. He said that when the body of Ebenezer Perry was stolen he took it to the Central Medical College and placed it in a barrel. When the relatives of the dead man began their search in earnest he took the body away from the college to the rear of a drug store on the North Side, where it remained for several days. McEndree in making his admissions to the detectives explained In a general manner how he was Implicated In the stealing of the bodies. He said that during the month of June in 1901 he was approached by Rufus Cantrell in a saloon at North street and the canal, and the subject of stealing bodies was discussed. He said Cantrell made flattering offers to him and he accepted. The first body taken, he said. was from the township graveyard east of the city. This body was that of Fred Honeycutt, a negro. Other bodies taken were Julia Rogers, Ebenezer Perry, "Red" Kelly, Adelina Best, Willis Long, Frank Press, Mrs. Caroline Tyler, Mrs. Perry Shaw. Hopewell Shaw, John Sargent and the body of an old soldier whose name could not be learned. This body was stolen from the Churchman yard, southeast of the city. The other bodies taken were those of Peter Hutson, from the old Anderson cemetery, and that of an unknown man who was killed on the railroad. McEndree said he cannot remember the rest of the names. In stealing the body of Mrs. Tyler from Jones's Chapel he said that he was one of the men that used the brace and bit that were later found in the grave. He said Rufus Cantrell was with him at the time the body was taken. Cantrell accompanied him on all the trips. The body of Perry was stolen by McEndree. Cantrell and Sam Martin. McEndree said that two-thirds of the bodies he assisted in taking were sold to the Central Medical College. AN OLD OFFENDER. McEndree was arrested several years ago charged with grave robbing. The police caught him one night returning from a cemetery south of the city. In his buggy he carried a spade, brace and bit, a lantern and a sack. There was fresh clay on the spade. The sack was empty and when McEndree was tried the evidence was not strong enough to convict, him. The arrest of McEndree was made on information furnished by Cantrell and the other negro ghouls. They said that as yet the detectives had not arrested any of the white ghouls for stealing bodies from the various graveyards in this vicinity. Can trell said McL'ndrw had accompanied him on several grave-robbing expeditions and he thought he should be arrested. For the past several months McEndree has besn living in Martinsville. When Cantrell told Detectives Asch and Manning about McEndree's complicity in the affair they began a search for him. He was located at one time on a farm north of Haughville. When the detectives went after him McEndree had disappeared. He was next heard of In Morgantown. then Columbus and then Martlnavllle. McEndree was not slated at the police station until & o'clock yesterday afternoon In the meantime Detective Manning and W. T. Long had arrestee Albert Hunt, an undersized negro living at WS Superior

street. He is accused of disturbing graves. Hunt acknowledged his guilt. He said that he had accompanied Rufus Cantrell on one grave-robbing expedition. He said he was told to watch the horses while Rufus and the others in the party opened the grave. While he was holding the hordes he became alarmed and went into the cemetery. The one trip was enough for him. he said. When McEndree was placed behind the bars he met Hunt and the two laughed heartily over their incarceration. The two men looked at one another and said: "This is all Rufus's work.' Cantrell was outside the door, laughing heartily. When he heard the men talking he also took part in the conversation and said: "Boys. I did the snitching. We might as well all give in. they've got us right." McEndree and Hunt seemed to agree with Cantrell and took their arrest good-naturedly. The deteotlves are of opinion that several more Important arrests of white men will soon be made. Detectives Manning and Asch said last night that they have secured enough Information from Cantrell and McEndree to enable them to arrest several prominent men. Who these men are the detectives will not say. They claim that the grave-robbing investigation has Just begun and that not more than one-third of the men interested In robbing graves have been arrested. The others yet to be placed under arrest are mostly white men and some of these have left this part of the country since Cantrell's expose. The detectives have the names and descriptions of most of these men and have notified the authorities in surrounding cities to apprehend them. FOR THE BOYS' CLUB. Dr. C. I. Fletcher Gives His Instrnetlve Leetnre on "Martinique. A good-sized audience of boys was taken on a trip last evening by Dr. C. L Fletcher at the Boys' Club, on South Meridian street. Dr. Fletcher used his 1ews taken on his expedition to the Island of Martinique as a mcanj of transportation. The lecture was enjoyed very much by the boys and the experiences of the trip proved ex ceedingly interesting. From the United States the speaker went to the Island of St. Lucia and from there to St. Vincent and thence to Martinique. At St. Vincent there were 5,000,000 natives, called Carlbs, when Columbus discovered America, and now there are only about 600 left. They have been killed and taken away by sickness, of which there is a good deal In that region. Skin disease and blood disease kills most of the population. St. Pierre was described both before the disaster and after the eruption of the volcano. The talk and pictures were very much enJoyed and very Instructive. The lecture by Dr. Fletcher last night was given as one of the "pleasant hour" entertainments that are held every month for the boys. Mrs. Harry S. New Is chairman of the committee in charge of this work for the year and Mrs. Macy Malott was chairman of the committee on entertainment last nff ht. New Estimate of Population.
