Deputy Coroner Reviews Conflicting Testimony in Death of Mrs. Lucas.

Famous "Pint of Cough ' Syrup" Receipt

"So Better Remedy t Any Price. Fully Guaranteed.

Conflicting testimony Is presented In the report of Deputy Coronor Roy Morrow on the death of Mrs. Mary Lucas, which occurred on the morning of September 27, at her home, near Greenafork. The report was filed In the county clerk's office shortly before noon today. The deputy coroner says that death was due to accidental Incineration, the deceased having been unable to get out of the burning house in which she was sleeping. She was sixty-three

years old. Seth Lucas, the woman's husband, testified twice before the deputy coroner. On the second occasion his testimony was "slightly different from the first. The testimony of the husband reads as follows: "About 8 p. m. my wife and I retired. About 9 or 9:30 o'clock my wife awakened me, saying she felt sick and.askqd me to get the camphor bottle. I did so and soon fell asleep. About 2 or 2:30 o'clock I awoke and found the room full of smoke. I was considerably confused. Ij groped about the room and found tfie :door, nd went into the north room, then to the kitchen, and called to my wife, but so much smoke was In the room that I was compelled to go outside and call for help, walking toward the road and still calling for help. I then turned toward the Catey home. i Narrates Conduct. : "When Catey answered me I was toalf way between my own gate and the Catey house. 1 then returned to the house and entered the kitchen and found the kitchen filled with smoke as also was the other rooms and so dense was the smoke that it was impossible for me to discern objects within the rooms. Upon my return the most of the fire seemed to be In the bedroom and the southwest room of the rbuilding. By this time Catey ' arrived and we went to the

aouth side of the building and broke hi the bedroom and could plainly see that my wife was not in the bedroom. We then went to'- the north side, looked through the kitchen into tha front room and could Fee the body of .Mif. Lucas lying upon the floor just orlFido the south door." Lucas'a second testimony says that it was on the night of September 26, tho first testimony saying it was on ' ftae'. night of the 27th. He also said that ; it was 10 o'clock when he was awakened by his wife. Isaac -P. Davis, another witness examined by tho "deputy said that when he , arrived at "tne burning house, Lucas itiA Samuel M. Catey were standing on the outside. He said he asked

tht-rti where Mrs. Lucas was, but they I

answered they did not know. "1 went in," he said, "and could see the bead nd shoulders of the body lying In the southwest room. We then went to th"barn to watch it. After the weatherboarding and plastering had burned off the south wall, I could see the charred body lying on the floor. Upon my arrival at the building the southwest room was in flames, but . the bedroom was' not in flames." Further Testimony. S. M. Catey's testimony was to the ffect that he was awakened by the noise which seemed to be as if somene were screaming. He went outside his house, and while standing there hard a sound as If some one were dragging something around In the direction of the Lucas' home. He said he asked Lucas where be thought his wife was and he answered he did not know. "I then returned to my homo," his testimony was, "and twenty minutes later returned to the burning hunting. I could see the charred body ly-

Vn In the southwest room." ? Tb deputy coroner was seen this . afternoon but said he had nothing to say In regard to the verdict on the woman's death. . "pon't.you think the testimony as siren In the verdict, rather conflicting?" the deputy was asked. . "Ton will have to judge for yourtelt." waa the reply. "1 have nothing . , to say about it." . "V Whether the prosecuting attorney will make a more complete investigation Is not known.

SUES TO PREVENT PROBATING OF WILL

(National News Association)

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 29. That

James B. McNamara had him expert

ment with dynamite explosions by electric sparks the day before the night that McNamara blew up the Lyons office building in Seattle, Wash., August 31, 1910, was the testimony of Prof. J. G. Wagner, a college instructor. Wagner told of exploding a small piece of dynamite with clockwork and battery arrangements used by McNamara. He said McNamara complained that the plan did not always work and Wagner said he showed him how to make it a sure shot every time. J. G. McCormack, with whom McNamara roomed, testified to the fact that McNamara was in Seattle the night of the Lyons building explosion and that he left the following day. John Golden, a non-union iron worker, testified that he saw defendants George Anderson and Peter J. Smith, of Cleveland, near the plant of the American Steel and WTire company in September, 1907, about the time a hoisting engine was blown up. Golden said he had four" teeth knocked out by a piece of flying iron.'

BODY IS CLAIMED Grandmother of Thompson Asks for His Body.

In the matter of the objections of Maria E. Gregory to the probate of the will of Elizabeth Eckels, petition was filed in the Wayne circuit court this afternoon by Maria Gregory, in which she alleges that she was not provided for in the will and avers that she is entitled to one-Bixth of the estate which is valued at about $6,000. The petitioner states that the late Mrs Eckels died October 24, of this year. She asks that her objections to probate be sustained on the ground that at the time the will was made tho late Mrs. Eckels was of unsound mind and that the pretended will was unduly executed. Inventory of the real and personal estate of the heir of Mary B. Alexander, as taken by Cassius Alexander, guardian, filed today in the county

clerk's office shows the estate to be valued at $340.

for approximately 10,000 cars. This latest order was for 4,000 standard box cars, and 1,000 automobile cars. Three thousand box cars and 1,000 automobile cars will be built with all possible haste by the Pressed Steel Car company; the remaining 1,000

oox cars win De ount in tne company's shops at Altoona.

To insure shippers on its lines ade

quate equipment for handling business the company is waging an active cam

paign to get the greatest possible service out of each of the freight cars

owned by the system.

One of the Pennsylvania's precautions against car shortage is to prevent, as much as possible, the holding of loaded cars at sea ports. The mo

ment notice is received of an accumulation of cars loaded with freight for export, quick steps are taken to have the cars released at the earliest possible time. In addition to requesting shippers to load and unload cars promptly, and to load them to capacity, the Railroad has announced that unusual efforts are being made to reduce the amount of equipment awaiting repairs, and to

of more than $20,000,000.

COBY IS STILL HELD

Wills are the owners of a restaurant and drug store and because of the suspicious actions of Cory the night of the fire he is being held on suspicion.

He asserts to have been in Richmond at the time of the fire. Cory said he served two men in the restaurant twenty minutes before the fire and then went to bd. He asserts that he undressed and was in bed and arose and dressed again in the twenty minutes.

MARSHALL DEFEATED

Racing at Mineral Springs to Be Resumed.

The body of William Thompson, colored, who was shot and killed in the Marshalette hotel, was sent for by his grandmother, Mrs. Martha R. Richardson of Beaver Dam, Va. As soon as Thompson was shot his relatives In Virginia were notified, and Thompson expected that his mother would see him before he died. No word was ever received from her and the communication received today by the police from his grandmother was the first word from his relatives. The body was buried in Potter's field Saturday afternoon. The letter received showed that

the relatives did not know of his death

because It inquired about his condition, and added that if he had died that the remains should be sent to

Beaver Dam, Virginia.

Mrs. May Moore accused of the

crime is in danger of another nervous

relapse. She is still confined to her cell in the Home for Friendless Wom

en and no one is allowed to interview

her.
