The charge against Bronaugh and
Reed is that they deliberately con-
spired to poison Wood. The Indian

fection claims that the two men call
ed to see him on "A number of occa-
sions and tried TO have him make a
will with new beneficiary Mrs.
Ham was the beneficiary in the Will
already executed by Wood and this
did not meet with the approval of the
alleged conspirators.
Several days ago it is claimed that
Bronaugh called at Woods place and
while his son was out gave him a
small bottle which the Indian secret

Cured shortly after tht will was exc

County Attorney Warren stated to-
