Great Deal of Gossip
and Rumor.

A great deal of speculation is being
indulged in by Hammond people as to
the whereabouts of w A Poyser, clerk

lowing his mysterious disappearance
early last week. Poyser. a married
man, lived on Detroit street and was
generally well liked by friends and
acquaintances in this city where he
has been for several years About a
month ago he was visited by a stranger
whom he took as his guest to the Ham
mond Country Club and was overheard
divulging plans regarding business
proposition he was to engage in In the
near future. To his employers Poyser
said nothing of this however. On Labor
Day he played golf at the country club
and was to have taken his wife to the
evening festivities at the club, but she
never saw him again, and is prostrated
over his disappearance. Some of her
friends declare that he may have met
with foul play but others assert that
he left the city, having too large a
number of creditors.
Mrs Poyser left on Saturday night
for the east and the Poyser household
furniture has been attached. Poyser

WOMAN
FOUND TO
Be DRUGGED
Strange Story Told by Wo-
man Found in Monon Ho-
tel; Man Arrested Claims
He Met Her in Hammond
Saloon Yesterday.

That women frequent Hammond sa
looms Is borne out by a prisoner in
the city jail today.
Apparently drugged by an oni.+a
bearing the traces of morphine, Mrs.
Allie Paski, 1894 Eighteenth street
Chicago' with relatives residing in
west hammond was found in the Mo-
non Motel annex, in an unconsctous
condition early this morning where
had been taken by man apparently
stranger to her.
Charles H Marshall clatn,ns 20 -.
Hammond painter, and boarding at
the Monon hotel, was placed under ar
rest by the police and is facing serious
charges at the central police station.
He absolutely denies the charges which
are preferred against him, but will be
arrafsned In preliminary hearing
before City Judge Barnett tomorrow
morning.
Upon recovering from the drug or IL
quor which the oplice are led to believe
that she had taken. the woman told a
strange tale to the police early this
morning. 1t is the most mysterious
one that they have been called upon
to solve in years and they will make a
rigid investigation.
According to the story of the woman
which contradicts itself in places. she
left Chicago yesterday afternoon on a
Green line car. Although she denied
stopping off at Kinders Grove she was
seen there by an officer as also was
Marshall seen on the picnic grounds.
When she got off che car at the
corner of State and Holman, she de-
clared she lost all control of her mind
and was not aware she had been taken
to the hotel or the shocking scene that
occurred there.
Following his arrest Marshall de-
clared that he was not guilty of abus-
ing the woman or giving her an opiate,
but stated that he met her in a Ham
mond saloon where he found her in a
senseless condition. In pity he said
| that he hired a carriage and took the
woman to the hotel. The woman was
| unconscious of the events which hap
pened there and according to the police
| who arrived shortly afterwards the
scene was disgraceful.
| A bottle containing three and one
half grains of a drug called Heroir
Tablets was found in the room. Six
| of the tablets would drug a person
according to Hammond physician this
morning and the Victim would remain
| in stupor for hours The drug has al
most the same ingredients as morphine
| Mrs. Paski declared up and dowr
that she did not bring any intoxicants
that she remembered Of and did moi
remember of being at the picnic
grounds.
] According to the story of witnesse.
they helped Marshall carry the woman
| into the room and then left. Half ar
hour later they saw a man coming ou
| of her room carrying his coat and shoe!
in his arm and but minute later Mar
shall was seen going into his owr
room robed in the same condition.
is said that other men are implicated
in the shocking affair and sensational
developments are expected by tomor
row morning.
