Defense Accuses State of
Using Third Degree in
Quizzing Woman.

LEBANON, Ind, Oct. 5.-Attor-
neys for Mrs. Carrie w. Simmons,
alleged poison picnic slayer of her
daughters, today fell short in their
attempts to prove Boone county
thorltieS used third degree methods
in qui2zing the farm wife and tried
to deal with her for a guilty plea.
The defense hammered at the
third degree accusation throughout
the morning session, but was I'M
able to break Coroner G.. A. Owsley,
who denied such tactics had been
used.
Mrs. Simmons was more cheerful
in court today and held whispered
conversations with Mrs. Charity
Simmons, mother Of John Sim
mons, the defendants husband; at
torneys and Miss Lois Rutherford
and Evelyn Written of Greenfield,
s~weethearts of her sons George and
Dale.
DR.. j. r. Porter, deputy Boone
county coroner, followed Owsley to
the stand.
Owsley Denies Charges
In questioning the coroner, w. H.
Parr Jr., of the defense, dwelt on
accusations that profanity was used
in questioning Mrs. Simmons. that
the authorities sat in her cell and
blew cigar smoke in her face for
hours and that she was questioned
for parts of three nights"
These were denied by Owsley.
Didn't Porter ask her if she
wasn't haunted at night by her little
girls, ?" Parr asked.
NO" Owsley answered.
Didn't you hear some one say
you knew she was lying and she
might as we'll come t%hrodgh?" he
asked.
L think I did" Owsley said.
Didn't some one say that if she
pleaded guilty it would save the
defense lots of money!"
Il don't recall it.
Hint at Deal" Attempt
And didn't Prosecutor Ben Sci
fres tell her if she pleaded guilty
the court would be lenient with her
and she'd be placed in an institu-
ton and get out in a year or two?"

MILLION WILL
Be CITY GOAL
IN FUND DRIVE
Community Chest Leaders
May Increase Figure
at Conference.
ON OCTOBER 70
Edward A. Kahn, Heading
Campaign, Points Out
Operation Thrift.

Give 100000 to care for the
needy!
That will be the plea to Indian
apolis in the community Fund drive
Oct. % to Nov. g..
The goal of the campaign, which
may reach $1,O50,000 or S1,1OO, 900,
will be set within a few days, Ed
ward A. Kahn, fund president, an
nounced today.
The final figure will be deter
mined at a meeting of the budget
committee, campaign executive
committee and board of directors.
And the money must be raised -
warned Kahn, who said that the
goal this year barely will represent
the minimum necessary for the
coming winter.
Deficit Is Incurred
The fund president recalled that
although last years goal of $685.. 900
was oversubscribed. a total of
100000 being raised, it was not
enough.
The Community Fund incurred a
deficit of 10000 to meet the extra
demands on its relief agencies dur
ing the last year.
AS examples of some Of the work
of the fund in the last year, Kahn
pointed to the following:
Community Fund agencies cared
for $3.50 homeless men, giving
them free lodging and meals.
Rents were paid for 4,207 families.
Service and care were given to
8,605 families.
Nurses made 1888 unpaid visits
to the sick.
Helps Emergency Work
The Community Fund appropri-
ated SAB, 900 to the Emergency Work
Committee, Inc, a volunteer group
sponsoring a made work" program
to relieve unemployment.
A total of 1850 quarts of milk
was given to families where illness
and children alone we're involved.
Community Fund officials be-
lieve that the public understands
why the campaign must be a sue
cess this year" stated Kahn.
They believe the increase in re-
lief appropriations from agencies
giving material relief has been 6
direct reflection of current unem-
ployment.
Fund officials further are of the
opinion that the demands Of the
coming winter will be the heaviest
in the funds history"
Operation Cost Lower
While the Community Fund
carried the heaviest burden it ever
has during the last year, it has
operated at lower cost than in any
previous year, according to Kahn.
Less than seven cents Of each
dollar subscribed to the fund last
wear went to the cost of the cam
paign, cost of administration and
collection" he said.
The exact amount, ST cents, Kahn
stated. is very low in comparison
with the administration cost OF
charity funds in other cities.
Of the funds distributed to the
thirty-eight agencies Of the Com
munity Fund, 71.3 per cent went
for relief, the fund president as
serted. An additional 81 per cent
it is estimated. was included in the
relief activities of other agencies.
A total of 1872 per cent went to
community welfare and ,08 per cent
for delinquency.
