announcement had been made of an en.

had stated to some of his friends that
they expected to be married in March.
On the evening of the gth of January the
defendant escorted the
church at Graysville, some three miles
from the residence of the prosecutor,
who was also at church that evening in
company with his wife. The parties re.

where the defendant got some cigars,
candy and a drink of water and for
another purpose, as alleged, at his store,
The father and mother retired for the
night sometime about 11 o'clock, the
young people being still in the parlor
The decedent was in the best of health
and at about 1 o'clock the defendant
called Mr. and Mrs. McWilliams by
rapping at the stove and told them to
hurry and come down that there was
something the matter with Ella. Mr.
and Mrs. McWilliams quickly went down
into the parlor, where they found the
daughter lying upon the couch, almost
entirely disrobed, her face having the |
appearance of death, unconscious and
bordering on convulsions, and did not |
recognize either of them. The father at
ounce tried to rouse her up, but this was |
futile. He asked the defendant and was
informed that she complained of choking,
and asked him to help her get her dress
waist and corset loose, and
lapsed into the unconscious condition.
The defendant, Mr. Irvin, was at once
sent for Dr. L. M. Houser, the family
physician, and in the meantime the
father began rubbing, in an attempt to
revive the daughter, but she went into
convulsions,
Dr. Houser arrived at about 2 o'clock
and found the patient writhing in con.
vulsions, and no medicine of any kind
could be administered internally as her
mouth was closed and she could not
swallow, He was there until about
7 o'clock; Dr. Woods from about
1oijo tll 4 o'clock; and Dr. Lowry,
of Tyrone, from about 4:30 tl 5
o'clock. The case was a peculiar one,
