EXPERT DETAILS POISON TESTS Dr. Harger on Stand at Lebanon Trial. (Continued From Page 1) son George, and daughter Elizabeth, in the absence of her husband and other son. With the defense attempting to cast a legal smoke screen over the case since the identification of Mrs. Simmons, it is expected nearly two ! score of defense witnesses will testify. Jackson Again Grilled Unable to shake Friedman in his statements, the defense Monday afternoon again opened their intimations that Horace Jackson, brother-in-law of Mrs. Simmons, might be the poison murderer. Tindall called Jackson to the witness stand and permitted Mrs. C. H. Johnson, Cumberland druggist, and Harry Short, New Palestine druggist, to view him. While he was on the stand. Jackson denied buying sixty grains of strychnine from Short and also denied attempting to buy 10 cents worth from Mrs. Johnson a few days before the picnic. Mrs. Johnson was in the courtroom last week and The Times told how she closely watched Jackson’s moves. Although neither Jackson nor Mrs. Johnson made any statements in court Monday afternoon, Tindall told reporters neither was able to identify Jackson. The outstate druggists were brought to the courtroom a few minutes after Friedman had delivered his accusations before the jury. Due to an agreement of attorneys, Harger was permitted to relate only details of strychnine found in the examination. Harger’s report carried statements that bichloride of mercury also was found in the children’s organs, it was learned. It is known the state intended to use the mercury evidence to support a previous accusation that Mrs. Simmons attempted to murder her children two weeks before the picnic.

GREAT WESTERN BUYS INTO K. C. SOUTHERN New Rail System From Chicago to Gulf Planned. By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 13.—Purchase of 20 per cent interest in the Kansas City Southern railway, presumably from the Van Sweringen interests, by the Chicago Great Western Railroad was made in furtherance of the Great Western's plan to create another north and south system between Chicago and the gulf, it was learned today. Announcement of the acquisition of stock was made over the weekend by Great Western interests. No comment was forthcoming from the Kansas City Southern. At the local office of the road it was said L. F. Loree, chairman, was in conference. If the Great Western plan is I carried out there will be three systems competing for business be- ! tween Chicago and the gulf. They ; are the Illinois Central and the Chi- ■ cago, Burlington & Quincy-Gulf | Mobile and Northern-New Orleans Great Northern hook-up.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

STOCKS MOVE DOWN IN LIGHT TRADING PACE Rail Shares Are Heaviest Losers, Dipping 1 to 3 Points.

Average Stock Prices

Average of thirty industrials for Saturday 105.61, up 1.15. Average of twenty rails 57.43, up .03. Average of twenty utilities 42.02. up .42. Average of forty bonds 87.35, up .14. BY ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, Oct 13.—A combination of foreign and domestic items forced the stock market down fractions to more than 2 points in the early trading today. Around noon selling pressure lightened slightly and the drop appeared arrested temporarily. A similar period of recovery took place around the end of the first hour, but it failed to hold. The market opened irregular in a narrow range, with railroad shares, last week’s features, meeting pressure. President Richard Whitney’s announcement of the failure of the firm of Kountze Brothers, one of the oldest houses in the financial district, precipitated further selling, but volume did not gain appreciably. Cotton, Grains Feature The feature of the day was firmness in cotton and grains. Strength in these staples had a good effect on stocks whose companies rely upon the farmer for their income. In this group, J. I. Case rose more than 2 points from its low and International Harvester also firmed up. Montgomery Ward and Sears Roebuck held slightly under the previous close. The Kountze failure was the principal item in the domestic news aside from that affecting commodities. The street was apprenhensive over the convening of the German reichstag which was to test the new Bruening cabinet. Approach of the British election and the controversy in the far east also were factors retarding activity in the list. Absence of short selling was believed responsible for the lightness of the dealings and the lack of concerted pressure. Shorts Hold Back Shorts have been reticent about placing new commitments of late on account of the vigilance of the Stock Exchange on this sort of dealing. Railroad shares were the heaviest losers, being off 1 to nearly 3 points. Steel common lost more than 2 points and American Can nearly 2, but both these issues rallied from the lows. Utilities lost fractions to more than a point. American Telephone at one time was down more than 2 points and rallied slightly from the low. Automobile shares eased off with General Motors and Auburn. Packard was firm and active, moving against the trend in its group. Call money was quoted at 2 per cent, the first time it renewed at this figure since April 7, 1931. Bonds were sold after a steady opening and prices in that market slipped to lower levels.

On request, sent with stamped addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will furnish proof of anything depicted by him.

Following is the explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It or Not” which appeared in Monday’s Times: Columbus Was the First Immigrant to be Deported—On March 21, 1499, a decree was issued empowering the commander of Galatrava, Francisco de Bobadilla, to proceed to Santo Domingo and to try Columbus on a charge of venality, excessive cruelty to natives, and aspiration to a royal rank. Bobadilla sailed in August, 1500, and arrived in Haiti in October. Columbus immediately was summoned to a trial by the king’s envoy and was found guilty. He was sentenced to be deported in chains to Spain, the loss of all rights and privileges, and a writ of prohibition ever to set foot again on the soil of the new world was issued against him. He was forthwith deported on the caravel “La Goda.” This was the first sentence of deportation issued in the Americas, and it is curious that its victim and first deportee should have been the man credited with the discovery of America.

WHEAT PRICES RISE ON FIRM FOREIGN NEWS Export Buying Indications Closely Watched by Trade. BY HAROLD E. RAINYILLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Oct. 13.—Bullish developments over the week-end gave wheat a sharp upturn as the Board of Trade opened today. Liverpool was relatively strong in the face of large arrivals, as nothing has been offered for future consignment. Stocks opened irregular, but fairly firm. Wheat prices rose a sharp fraction, with the future deliveries leading. Corn moved up slightly, with wheat, but, despite rains in the belt, was inclined to drag. Oats were firm. At the opening wheat was 5 4 cent to 1 cent higher, corn was unchanged to V* cent higher and oats was 74 cent to % cent higher. Provisions were slow and steady. Liverpool was 17 4 cents to l a i cents higher at mid-afternoon, compared with the close Saturday. Indications are that foreigners have started to buy American wheat. The Chino-Japanese situation is being closely watched. A corn crop of 2,702,000,000 bushels was estimated by the government in its general report Saturday. but the reduction from the previous estimate was not sufficient to become a bullish factor. Contrary to expectations, the government report of oats of 1,174.000.000 bushels was 13,000,000 bushels over a month ago. Chicago Grain Range —Oct. 13WHEAT— Prev. High. Low. 11:00. close.
