KATE KELLY,s CASE.
Chicago Trying to Turn Attention
from Her ~afhso Self.


from Her LOathsome Self.
The newspapers of the plague-ridden city
Of Chicago printed a story yesterday about
the appearance in that city of - waman
giving her name as Kate Kelly. The wom-
an tells a story that indicates that she is a
fraud. and that she is trying to work the
authorities Of that city as she has attempt
ed to do those Of indianapolis. The Chicago
papers have taken her story as a text to d.
vert attention from their own city, which
Is now almost loathsome with smallpox.
Kate Kelly is the woman who appeared in
this city at the time the Eddy-street quar-
aptine was on. She said she had come di-
rectly from Chicago. where she had nursed
a smallpox patient. She said she undoubt-
edly had the disease and besought the Off
GERS in charge OF the quarantine to allow
her TO go within the quarantine district.
She was placed on a dry goods box till a
physician could be summoned. After DIR.
Ferguson examined her she was taken to
the pesthouse camp after a case of vario-
Ioid developed, and there given proper at
tention in every respect. After the disease
run it's course, and after the woman was
completely cured, she was discharged, the
health officers taking every precaution to
prevent any one from contracting the dis
ease from her. The Chicago papers tell
the story as she gave 1t in Chicago. as fol-
lows.
''She said that seventeen days ago she was
sent TO the pesthouse in Indianapolis by the
health authorities there. who said she had
smallpox At that time she was not in the
slightest way i'll and had no eruption what
ever. At the end OF twelve or thirteen days,
no eruption having appeared. she was dis
charged as well. During her detention at
the smallpox hospital In Indianapolis she
occupied a room separated only by a thin
board partition from two serious and we'll
developed smallpox patients. The day after
she was discharged she began to have high
fever, pains in the back. headache and other
symptoms or smallpox infection. These
symptoms increased to such an extent that

THE DRAKE MURDER TRIAL.
Motion to Discharge the Prisoner
OverruIed by ,he Court.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
GREENSBURG, Ind. May 1.-THE attor-
neys In the Drake murder case made slow
progress to-day from the fact that much
valuable time was taken up in wrangiing
over the admissibility of evidence. Henry
Doup. an intelligent farmer of Bartholo-
NEW county, gave valuable testimony,
showing mental arrangement Of several
relatives of the defendant. On cross-exam-
nation after the noon recess it was discov-
cred that the defendant was absent from
the court room. Some evidence had been
taken in his absence. The defendants at
torneys at once filed a motion to discharge
Drake from custody, but the court over
ruled the motion, withdrew from the jury
the evidence taken in the absence of the
defendant and directed the trial to go on.
Drake occupies a seat next to his mother,
but holds no conversation with her or his
attorneys. This week will be all taken up
in hearing evidence. The State will intro
duce a large number of witnesses to prove
that Drake was a person of sound mind
at the time Of the killing, and that his
mind was affected only when he drank to
excess.
