Dupont, Ind., Undisturbed
 By Poisoninq

DuPont, Ind. Aug. 13-(UP)- Jefferson County citizens went calmly about their business today, apparently unconcerned that a 62- year-old plump, motherly widow might be revealed as the star in real-life Arsenic and Old Lace" melodrama.
 They gossiped about the arrest of Mrs. Lottie Lockman on charges of ing to poison another, but crime, on the whole, does not interest them much.
 Neither did they show much con- cern about plans to exhume the bo- dies of Mrs. Lockman's husband, Frank, who died six years ago, and Fred Giddings, a retired farmer who died at the age of 90 and left her his estate.
 Suspected In Five Deaths Mrs. Lockman was suspected in a total of five deaths.
 Residents of Jefferson County skirting the Ohio River, gossiped about the fix Lottie is in,' but her arrest failed to create much of a stir
 The citizens are so law abiding that the last execution took place in 1873. The condemned man was found guilty of poisoning his vic- tim, then burning down church in an attempt to hide his crime.
 In Arsenic and Old Lace," a Broadway hit play and later a mo- tion picture, two benign old maid sisters committed a series of poi sonings because they felt sorry for their victims and thought they would be better off dead.
 Mrs. Lockman has refused to an- swer questions. She signed an au- thorization yesterday for the ex- humation of her husbands body in surprise defense move to prove her innocence. She asked that the vital organs of her husband be sent to the state toXicologist at Indian apolis to determine whether they contained poison.
 Daughter Recovering Sll6 SIltQ bllc Olutl III lllc COull- ty jail where she is held on mur- der charge as the result of labor atory tests which revealed traces of mercury in the organs of Mrs. Min nie Mcconnell, who died year ago while under Mrs. Lockman's care. Her invalid daughter-in-law, Mrs. Mamie Mcconnell, whose husband hired Mrs. Lockman as a housekeep- CT, was recovering from what doc tors diagnosed as mercury poison ing.
 Defense Attorney Joseph Cooper said that Mrs. Lockman rarely pre- pared food for her charges and that most of the cooking was done by three or four other persons"
 I'm satisfied my client is inno- cent" he said
 Meanwhile, authorities also in- vestigated the deaths of Mrs. Lock mans brother-in-law, Walter Lock- man, and Mrs. Hattie Calhoun, who died here but was buried at Bur- lington, Ia.
 The case will be presented to the regular session of the county grand jury, which opens Oct. T.

orchestras in the country and this
year won the Esquire nomination
for No. swing band of the nation.
Ellington has gone further than
that, however, adopting the jazz
idiom to compose and play music
Of a more serious character, in a
form Of frankly experimental
nature. His program here will in
clude not only some of the swing
numbers he originated, but many
Of the more serious gems.
Among them will be eight brand
new numbers first played in public
at his concert in Carnegie hall
