Death Came In A Drunken Stupor

Sapulpa, Okla., July 10 (Special)

Will Cristopher, a bricklayer of this city...returned from a grocery store near his home...thinking he was merely under the influence of liquor, his wife helped him to a bedroom and...threw the bottle of whiskey away. When he failed to awake later, she became alarmed and called a physician who stated that the liquor was probably doped.

A coroner's inquest will be held and an investigation made but as the remainder of the whiskey was destroyed by the wife, the evidence needed was lost.
