Dr. "scar Heller of Greenfield, who treated hath Frank Carl nnd fils father Alonzo before their deaths, testified that when he xvas called to the Car! home July 2“, 1921, Frank told him he had become 111 on the road, and came home for that reason. He declared Carl died from natural causes. The doctor said Carl complained of being sick at the stomach nnd had heart trouble. The doctor said examination showed Carl hud organic heart trouble.

They are coming for the .TOO mile race at the Indianapolis motor Speedway which carries a thrill no other track in the country can supply. Other tracks are faster, on other track records are lower, and other tracks are far more scientifically constructed.

STATE HEADS PASS BUCK ON DRY JOB GOODLAND, Ind., May 29. —Certain State and Federal officials are playing the great American game of “passing the buck” at the expense of the good ladies of the W. C. T. U. and other friends of prohibition in Newton County, in the southern part of which this town is situated. Recently one Harry Drake of Kentland, near here, known in the neighborhood as “China” Drake, was named Federal prohibition enforcement officer for a large section of the northern part of the State. Friends of prohibition became very much alarmed. They declared that Drake was known as the town sport and that his heart could not be in the enforcement of prohibition. Then it was that the game of passing the buck as to the responsibility for Drake’s appointment started.

An automobile In which they were driving was confiscated. As the aheriff ami his party entered the resort, txvo men and a woman ran from th*' place, dropping a bottle of white mule as they xxent. No ether whisky xvus found, but a large number of empty whisky bottles were strewn en the ground outside. Sheriff Snider said there was no evidence that xvas being Bold In the place, but t her- was evidence of it being brought In.

I Dr. Heller stated b was at Carl's 1 bedside at the time of his death. Ho stilted Carl “died in a struggle.” Evidence of Dr. Ileller showed Mrs. Carl xxas attentive to her husband, and carried out the doctor's instructions regarding his diet. Tin* doctor stated he never snxv any symptoms of arsenic poisoning exhibited by Frank earl while he treated him. The defense introduced its first character witness In behalf of Mrs, Carl, xvhon Mrs. Nellie Vice of Bhiladolphla. a neighbor of the Carls, testified the reputation of tho defendant for peace and quiet up to August, 1921, xvas good. Sho testified that txvo weeks before Frank Carl's death Carl t*dd her te came home from a tusim-ss trip “feeling sb‘k.” anil that he n'xvay i had stomach trouble nnd heartburn. Thomas Vice gave testimony similar to that of his xvife. Additional evidence tending to show Frank * ari told several of Ids neighbors some time before his death that he became 111 on the road when attending to Ids 1 uth-s as a traveling man. xvas given by Mrs. Henry Wigging of Greenfield. Dr Heller testified that xvnen he told Mrs. Carl, txvo days before her husband's death he would never recover, ho “didn't notice anything unusual” In her attitude or appearance. On cross examination of Pr. Heller It developed the doctor last treated Alonzo Carl on May 2 and Alonzo died on June fi, 1921. lie admitted ho didn't know any of Alonzo Carl's symptoms just prior to his death, as lie didn't treat hiui. The theory of the defense appears to be that Mrs. Carl was not responsible for the arsenie discovered by expert chemists In the vital organs of Frank Carl.
