stand. A little later Drury got up TO
get another drink OF whiskey but instead
he took a mouthful of ammonia from a
bottle on the table. He ran from the
room for some water to relieve the burn
Ing caused by the ammonia, which how
ever. he did not swallow.
When Drury went out OF the room Des-
son went to the same bottle and took a
long drink before he realized the differ
ence between the burning stuff and the
whlskey that he had been drinking.
Unlike Drury Desson swallowed some
of the stuff his throat and stomach being
badly burned He rushed into the hall
