Barrett said ne left before Della Bella after walt ing a few minutes. He admitted on cross exs imitation that he also sold liuuor but denied he was a partner of Della Bella's in bootlegging ac- tivities. He said he did not go into the bed room where the girl had been brought.

 Dr. Undcrhill On Drug
 pr. Underhill proved the surprise witness of the day. He said he was resident of New Haven since 1897. He described pharmocology and the eff fects of drugs on the body and tox1- cology as the effect of poison on the body. He has written two books on the subjects. He said the effect of chloral hydrate on the body is in three well known stages. The first stage is that of producing sleep which very closely stimulates ordinary sleep. This effect is reached by talk ing from one half to two grains of the drug The person taking it will sleep from to 8 hours unless perfectly natural as from an ordi- nary sleep. He said it is the most dangerous drug there is because the human body is highly susceptible to it. He said it is hypnotic drug.
 The second stage was described as narcosis which leaves the person in a very profound sleep from which the person may or may not De aroused. He said if the person were hurt and it were painful enough, that person would awake, for few moments of consciousness and then lapse back to inconsistencies. Sleep is produced in this stage within five minutes after the drug has been taken. The period of sleep usually last about 72 hours. The person will experience a drop in temperature as the drug acts on the nervous cen- ters. Recovery from a dose of this stage leaves the person in very stuporous state and in great fatigue. The third stage, he said, was called the stage of anaesthesla as or a person having taken ether or chloro- form. There is an extreme depres- sion of the respiratory apparatus. This state leads to death and re- covery is very seldom seen. He said in answer to a question put to him that the girl in this case, was be- tween the first and second stage. He described the drug as being color less and when taken is of bitter, caustic taste, leaving a burning sen- sation around the lips.
 Dr. Jackson Testifics
 Dr. Jackson said he examined the girl last Monday upon the states re- quest. He described the organs of the girl and said there had been pene- tration. His other estimony was along technical, medical lines. He

NUGGET PLACER WINDS
UP WORK FOR SEASON;
BIGGER SCALE IN 80

Sidney M Logan returned home
Tuesday from visit of several days tc
Libby creek, in Lincoln county, where
he has been directing the operations at
the Nugget Placer company's ground.
Mr.. Logan said operations were closed
down for the season. The work done
this year was a test Of the property,
Mr. Logan said, and it has proven salts
factory. 1t was worked on a small scale
and many difficulties were encountered
early in the season, but they succeeded
in reaching bedrock over an area of
900 feet, which showed sufficient values
to warrant the working of the ground
on a much larger scale next year, Mr..
Logan said. Bedrock was found 80 feet
below the creek bottom, but good
values were found all the way down
and bedrock showed very satisfactory
results, which were beyond expecta-
tons
Since he has proven that the values
are there in quantities to assure returns
on much greater. investment, plans
will be perfected this winter to operate
next spring in more pretentious way.

COLE TALKS TO
SCHOOL HEADS
Politics Grip Is Threat to
Office, He Asserts.

More than ninety county school
superintendent in the Travertine
room of the Lincoln this morning
heard from George S. Cole, state
superintendent of public instruction,
the contention that in Indiana the
office he now holds constantly is
threatened with a political whirl-
pool.
This afternoon, following a bust
ness session, educators were to dis
cuss several problems confronting
superintendent in building cur
ricula, and Wallace Bruce ArmSbary
of Armour Institute of Technology,
Chicago, will speak.
1.-THE state superintendent" said
Cole, lis subject to the advice and
direction of the state board of edu-
cation and the leaders Of his party
Under no conceivable circumstances
can there be greater possibilities for
state superintendent to be drawn
into the nlaelstrom of politics than
right here in Indiana"
He added, however, that thus far
he has not been troubled with po-
htical interference with policies he
sought to pursue.
