RELEASED ON BOND IN'PIGNIC SLAYING Woman, Accused of Poison- ing Daughters, Wins Plea Pending Retrial. By the Associated Press. LEBANON, Ind., November 6.—Judge John W. Hornaday today granted the request of Mrs. Carrie Simmons’ attor- neys that she be released on bond pending a new trial on the charge of poisoning her 10-year-old daughter, Alice Jean. ‘The jury which heard Mrs. Simmons’ first trial was discharged last evening when it reported inability to reach an agreement after deliberating nearly 48 hours. The firal vote was eight to fours for acquittal. Faces Two Indictments. Judge Hornaday fixed Mrs. Simmons’ bond at $5,000 on each of the two mur- der indictments pending against her. She is also under indictment for the murder of her 14-year-old daughter, Virginia. Both children were victims of poison | placed in sandwiches prepared by their mother for a family reunion here last June. During the 22 days of testimony in her trial the State sought to show her part in preparation of the sandwiches and introduced an Indianapolis drug- ist, who testified she purchased poison rom him three days before her daugh- ters died. Retrial to Be Asked. ‘The defense countered with a Bar- ersville, Ind., farm woman, who said it was she who purchasefl the poison, and Mrs. Simmons’ attdfneys openly inted suspicion at the defen other-in-law, Horace M. ‘who, they contended, was at odds with the Simmons family and had ample opportunity to slip poison into the | sandwiches. Prosecutor Ben M. Stifres expressed confidence th@®State could obtain a con- viction on a second trial. WRECK INJURES 12 Canadian National Railways Flyer Derailed Near Winnipeg.

ARMY RIDERS WIN AT NATIONAL SHOW Chamberlain and Bradford Take First in Jumping Event With Teams of Four Other Nations. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 6.—First honors in international competition at the National Horse Show goes to the United States. Two American Army officers, Maj. Harry D. Chamberlain and Capt. Wil- liam Bradford, conquered the riders of four other nations in the initial military jumping event of the show last night. Chamberlain and Bradford guided Suzanne and Tanbark over difficult fence and stone wall without a flaw to win from France, the Irish Free State, Canada and Great Britain. France, the Irish team and Canada tied for second place with only one and one-half faults charged against them, the Irish team of Capt. Dan Corry and Capt. Cyril Harty winning the jump-off, with Prance third and Canada fourth. The excellent showing of the Amer- icans made many of the crowd of 10,000 believe the international military Jumping championship, to be held next Tuesday night, might well fall to the Stars and Stripes for the first time. The Americans have finished close seconds or third but never have succeeded in winning the coveted title. Resigns as County Coroner. CHICAGO, November 6 (#).—City Health Commissioner Herman N.
