relatives tabulating possible heirs in Simmons murders
Greenfield Indiana June 23 Relatives who might become heirs of the Simmons estate were being tabulated by Hancock county authorities as they pursue clues in the strychnine murders of two Simmons children at a Lebanon picnic. A drug clerk said a 60 grain sale of strychnine was not to John Simmons and the purchaser appeared to be a farmer wanting poison to kill crows. Sheriff Stottlemyer discounted any immediate family member's involvement and noted the Simmons wealth prompted lookouts for other relatives. Officials in Lebanon aided the inquiry before funerals for Virginia and Alice Jean Simmons.
