DOCTOR DENIES
POISON CHI large
Arrested for Alleged Plot
Against Relative.

BB United Press
MADISON, Ind, Sept. 7.-Dr. J.
M. Sample of Connersville, Ind, to-
day denied charges brought against
him by an Indianapolis detective
agency for an alleged plot to poison
his father-in-law, James Reed
wealthy jefferson County farmer.
DR.. Sample was arrested at Con-
rersville Sunday on an affidavit
charging a conspiracy. and was
placed in Jail here.
Detective Guy Braughton, Of the
Quigley Hyland Detective Agency
charged DIR. Sample offered him
81 900 to kill Reed. Braughton al
legged the physician gave him
chloroform and drugs and provided
him with a diagram of Reeds home
to help him in executing the plot
Braughton turned the case over
to the county authorities and the ar
rest followed.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-09-07

Basing his estimate on the early
crowds, Z. j. Barker. secretary of
the State board of agriculture. pre-
dicted an attendance of SO. 900 today.
Last years attendance for the open.
ing day was 1851.
Rain Helps
THE prospects never were bet
ter" said Barker. Sundays rain
was a godsend, because it settled the
Gust and influenced thousands Of
persons from over the State to motor
to Indianapolis for the big week"
Barker said he expected the larg-
est f1rst-day attendance in the his
tory of the fair. because of the splen-
did weather and the fact that Grand
Circuit racing was to hold its Indi-
ana debut today. It obtained ma.
tional prominence at Cleveland races.
Open at Five
The gates at the grounds swung
open at ) a. m. and before 6 crowds
were milling through the grounds.
Early street cars carried substan-
tial groups of passengers and there
was a steady stream of automobiles
on all roads entering the city.
Double-header trains were oper-
ated on all interurban lines and
running extra cars to handle the
fair crowds.
The. volume of traffic has increased
almost 80 per cent in the last two
days, officials said
Bus companies were operating on
double schedule.
Early today the jam of motorists
seeking parking spaces on the Mid
way became SO great that c. j. Muir.
ply, board member in charge of po-
lice, was forced to summon addi.
tional police to restore orderly pro.
cedure.
From the appearance of the
grounds, one would have thought
there was not an automobile left
to gallivant along any road in the
State. Visitors came from every
county. town and township, from the
shifting sands of the Lake Michigan
dunes region to the rolling hills that
overlook the Ohio River.
They came rolling in on steam
