In Franklinton Louisiana the defense sought to show a poisoned coffee theory for murder but was denied permission to prepare the cup in court. The state accuses Mrs. Cola Lemming of killing neighbor Mamie Furr with poison after a Jan 25 incident at the Lemming home in Bogalusa. The defense argued the poison could not be dissolved in coffee and hinted Mrs. Furr acted alone. Judge Jones ruled the experiment unnecessary given poison variability and evidence.
