A—6 ¥ *PUON TRAL IR TOLD FISURANCE Husband of Woman Accused’ in Children’s Deaths Bares New Policies. By the Associated Press, LEBANON, Ind., October 2.—John | W. Simmons was questioned today at the trial of his wife, Mrs. Carrie Bar-| rett Simmons, charged with poisoning | hor two deughters, concerning insur- ance polictes taken out. by members of his family. ' The Hancock County farmer said he and his wife a few weeks before the | deaths of the daughters, Alice Jean and Virginia, had taken out policies for $5,000 each, with their children named as’ beneficiaries. Simmons said his two sons, Dale and George, also had taken out policles for $2,500 each, with their | parents named as beneficiaries. Family Agrees to Testify. The questions concerning insurance were put to Simmons by Roy W. Adney, assistant prosecuting attorney, as he| continued direct examination of Sim-| mons, who was called by the State yes- terday as its first witness. | The calling of Simmons as a State witness was a surprise_move and was | e possible by the Simmons family | ag ng to take the stand to reveal all | they know concerning the pcisoning of | the two girls. 1 Tells of Fatal Reunion Picnic. Direct examination of Simmons was concluded by Adney and he was turned | over to Willet Parr, defense counsel, for | cross-examination. Parr had Simmons repeat his version of preparations in the Simmons home, near Greenfield, for the family reunion picnic here last June, at which the Simmons girls were poisoned. The State charges the children's mother with placing poison in sand- wiches which were served at the picnic. Charges Previous Poisoning. After a jury was completad yester- ! ay, Prosecutor Ben M. Scifres, in his | opening statement. declared it would | be shown that Mis. Simmons had ad- ministered poison to her two daughters two weeks before they finally dled dur- ing a picnic here after eating sand- wiches in which capsules containing poison had been inserted. The prose- cutor’s statement was the first intima- tion of any previous attempt to poison the children. Charles L. Tindall, Greenfleld, Ind. attorney, indicated the defense will seek to bring out other theories than that advanced by the State as to how the Simmons girls were poisoned. The trial began last Monday. Judge John W. Hornaday announced no ses- | sion will be held tomorrow. COMPTON, Calif. (NAN.A) —Rich- ard Connary, 8. of Compton is being envied by all his friends.
