Medical testimony had showed the youth died of chronic arsenic poisoning, but the state had been unable to discover that Mrs. Summers had access to any quantity of arsenic. By chance state attorneys learned two witnesses had purchased: fly paper sheets for the defendant during during last March and April. The boy died in May. The contention immediately was advanced at the trial that a fatal dose of arsenic could have been obtained from the 'flypaper, each sheet of which was prepared to be placed in water thus forming a weak arsenic solution.

Cured Now? If Roy Coleman, a miner employe of the Grant Coal Mining Company in 1916, is alive today he will receive $3,600 compensation for injuries suffered while employed by the company. Afte nearly seventeen years of waiting for a final court decision, the case was ended Thursday when the supreme court upheld a ruling by a Vigo county superior judge, awarding Coleman $7.35 a week for 500 weeks. The Vigo county ruling, sustaining constitutionality of the state compensation law, was appealed to the supreme court in 1926, and final briefs of the case were filed in 1927. After five years the case was decided today.

LAWYER FIGHTS SCULPTURE BILL Carl Mote Resists $2,000 Claim for Statues. Wether a husband must pay $2,000 for four bronze statues of his wife and three children as “necessary house furnishings” today puzzled Superior Judge Russell J. Ryan. The four pieces of art were ordered from Miss Myra R. Richards, sculptress, who has field suit against Carl H. Mote, attorney, of 3860 North Delaware.

Mote, with Miss Richards. Mote, however, claims the credit was given to his wife and not to him, as the husband. Seeking $2,000 damages, Miss
