DEFENSE OF MRS. DRAKE

ITS FIRST WITNESSES (iO BEFORE TUE CÜlRT AT COVISiUTON. Sons of Veterans' State (a asp Ant Iftaloon War at Colombo nderaon Reajnlatea peed of Aatomohlles. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. COVINGTON. Ind.. July 6. The first day for the defense in the Drake trial began this morning. The first witness was Laura Kennedy, daughter of Mrs. Drake. She testified that sulphate of zinc had been used about the house to spray chickens and Drake had unt-d some of it for sore throat. She had heard him complain of weak stomach und heart. She lives near the Drake home and had seen manifestations of af fection between Mr. and Mrs. Drake. Leonard Cory, drug clerk in hie father's drug store at Kingman, had sold sulphate of sine to Drake, who informed him that he used it for a wash and gargle for sore throat. Dr. Luke gave expert testimony as to the action of antimony preparations and sulphate zinc poison tests. Dr. Qeorge Rowland was on the stand nearly all afternoon. He testified as to the action of antimony and sulphate of zinc and did not think antimony and zinc were found in Drake's stomach In sufficient quantities to kill. Dr. C. L. Myers was of the opinion that the amount of poison found was not sufficient to cause death. Should the symptoms be sufficient, and there were no other complication, he would pronounce the cause poison, but in this case was of the opinion death was due to heart failure superinduced by cholera morbus and gastritis. One witness testified that he had seen Drake eat twelve chicken legs, drink seven to eight cups ol coffee at a sitting. "He had a wonderful appetite," said the witness. He had seen him drink patent medicine from the bottle, taking almost the entire contents at a dose. .Mrs Drake will be put on the stand tomorrow. Light Sentence Imposed.

People of Colombm Are Engaged in an Energetic Campaign. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. COLl'MBt'S, Ind., July 6. A crusade against the saloons generally and particularly against the granting of a license to the "Third-street beer garden'' has been waged vigorously by the ministers and others for the pat two or three months. Thecrusaders, bk means of the blanket remonstrance, huv.i twice defeated the reopening of the plaoe. Each time a different person made application for the license. In June a license was defeated because of an error in the publication, which described the room as "three" feet wide instead of "thirty" feet wide. Most of the ministers preached on the subject lat night and took occasion to criticise the edministratlon because of the alleged nonenforcement of the laws. It is said that three of the ministers, partially disguised, visited several of the saloons Saturday night, seeking material for Sunday sermons, snd from the reports of the sermons they evidently found what thoy sought. Remonstrances have been circulated for signatures in the Third ward and sufficient names of resident voters secured to defeat the application of Pete Darnell, who has applied to the commissioners for a license to operate ths "Third-street garden," which is located In the "residence district." The fight opened in the Commissioners' Court to-day and will be waged relentlessly on both sides. The saloon people filed withdrawals of seeral signatures from the remonstrance, but a majority of the voters of the ward ere still remonstrating. The saloon men say if they are beaten in the Commissioners' Court they will appeal, If necessar, on up to the Supreme Court of the State. A large number of wealthy residents of the Third ward have pledged themselves to rtand between the signers of the remonstrance and any possible costs that may accrue, and if the matter is fought out to a finish one side or the other will have a high bill of costs to settle. For n Saloons In Milton., Special to the Indianapoll JournaL RICHMOND. Ind.. July 6. The people of Milton are making an organized effort to tamp out the saloons In that place.
