* SEEK T0 BUL CASE AGAINS TOT LOCKM

Defense May Let Case Go To Grand Jury Without Arraignment.

State police settle down to dogged legwork today in an attempt to build a solid case against Mrs. Lottie (Tot) Lockman, who is charged with murder by poison in Dupont, Ind. Today State Police Detective Earl Smith is in Burlington, Iowa, preparing steps for the exhumation of Mrs. Hattie Calhoun who died while in the care of the “Good Samaritan” housekeeper.

Mrs. Calhoun will be the third! |

person exhumed in an effort to establish a case for the state. Meanwhile, Dr, R. N. Harger, Indiana university school of medicine toxicologist, planned exhaustive tests to determine positively whether the mercury found in the body of Mrs. Minnie McConnell caused her death. » May Take Long Time The microscopic examination of Mrs. McConnell’s internal organs did not show the customary changes associated with mercury poisoning, said Dr. Amos C. Michael, pathol-| ogist working with Dr. Harger. Dr. Harger said that the report increases the possibility that the mercury in Mrs, Minnie McConnell was not of the poisonous type. “It could be, however, that it was administered say a half day before her death,” he said. “The question now is did the] mercury come from a poisonous compound or from a relatively non- | poisonous compound?” Dr. Harger| added. “The experiments we have in|; mind will be exhaustive and might | take as long as two months to cpm- | plete. We probably will use dogs, | giving them mercury in various| forms, studying their reactions and | later examining their internal organs,” he said. Plans Conferences Dr, Harger also plans a con-

nie McConnell,

nell, who is recovering from mercury poisoning. “I want to determine whether | any medicines with non-toxic mercury ever were administered to the patients. I also want to discuss the symptoms’ shown by all the suspicioned poisoning victims shortly He said ifat there was too ‘thuch mercury in-the body of Mrs. McConnell to be accidental, but that it was not necessarily pf a poisonous form. Jaseph M. Cooper, attorney for Mrs. Lockman who is free on a "$15,000 bond, said that Mr. Giddings

medicines and calomel. “He was so fond of the medicines!

that he ‘used them to sop his break- |

A reliable sourte indicated, how- | ever, ‘that the defense attorneys will waive arraignment and the case will be bound Sver waiting the fall term | of the grand jury. |
