PERRY REFUSES TO MAKE KNOWN
 NATURE OF DRUG
Admits He Knows What
 Chemists Analysis Will % Probably Show

While the state admits it knows the nature of the drug it expects will be found in the analysis of the stomach of Mrs. Annie Lou Edwards, whose huS- band, Dr. George T. Edwards, has been indicted for her murder, Solicitor Ben c. Perry, of the Bessemer circuit court, refuses to reveal its nature to newspaper men Thursday afternoon.
 While 1t is rumored that the bottle from which the drug is supposed to have been administered, had been found in the home after the murder on December ?, and that the bottle had been labeled and stiU had traces of the drug in the bottle, Perry could not confirm any part of the rumor.
 The solicitor declared, however, that he had given Dr. B. B. Ross, state chemist, specific orders as to what to look for in his analysis
 Many Rumors
 One rumor regarding the drug was that it is only hypnotic" and harm less even if an overdose is administered. The second rumor was that the drug is the most powerful of narcotics and deadly if mis-administered-
 One rumor was that the alleged new clue came from local wholesale drug gist, who declared the doctor purchased it from him A second rumor alleges that the drug was secured from local hospital under false pretenses-
 In the meantime the state is preparing to bring the indicted physician to an early trial Perry declared Thursday that he hoped to have the case called by the first of January. Judge Jones, chief deputy clerk of the Bessemer cir cult court, declared in behalf of the clerk, that the case would probably be set for the last of January.
