and junket tablets. salt and pepper shak-

The police received information that
there was trouble at the Simmons home
through a toll operator Of the Indiana
Bell Telephone Company. A long dis
lance call was on the wire from Mrs.
simmons father, in Louisville, carrying
information that he was dying. As Mrs.
Simmons took up the telephone receiver,
just before the fatal scuffle, to call police,
the operator with the Louisville call
heard her scream for aid. She notified
the local operator who In turn notified
police headquarters. A team Of motor
policemen were sent to the Simmons
home, but before they arrived, Ora
Baker, 14o9 St. Peter street, notified the
police the Simmons woman had come to
his house and said she killed her hus-
band.
