CHICAGO, March 28—The Grafton excursion train, from which Mrs. Gougar said she saw such "high jinks" on the Hearst funeral train, arrived here yesterday. Mr. Edward Stokes, who was on the Grafton train, says Mrs. Gougar drew things pretty strong. There was wine on the congressional train, but no intoxication nor disgraceful conduct. There was more or less loud talking, and possibly some swearing, as there will be in parties made up exclusively of men. When the Grafton train was unloaded here among the stuff was a wagon load of empty bottles, which had been full of wine. So it seems that the "demon" was a fellow passenger with Mrs. Gougar.
