z
chambers case.1
arrest of Wright, when Chambers
came up, and that Chambers said
he didn't believe that they had arrested the right man that the
crime was evidently the work of an
expert. He also described a sore on the left side of Chambers' face
near the angle of the jaw. The ev
idence of James Chambers the con
duct or, who was not placed on the
stand the first trial, was of an un
important character, and only re fer -
ed tothe condition of the train, the
brakemeo, etc.
City Marshal Smith was placed
on the stand and testified to the
same facts as at the previous trial.
Witnesses were also introduced to prove the presence of Chambers at
Mitchell. Chap May and wife, and
adopted, son testified as to Chambers'
condition the day after the robbery,
as to his scratched bands and face,
going to sleep while talking, and
wandering manner ot answering
questions as to how he received bis
hurts, etc.
Quite a sensation was created on
Friday by the introduction of a
new witness by the State, Joseph Siiinehsgen of Stinesville, this county, who testified that he saw Chesley Chambers pass through the
smoking-car in the direction of the express ear, a short time before the
robbery occurred and just before
the train stopped for water at the tank. Mr. Dillon had been on the
witneesi stand, and had testified
to seeing Chambers pass through the ladies' car on the night ef the robbery, just before the water tank
was readied. Both men pointed
out Chambers. Briefly stated, the testimony given by Steinhagcn was
that he is an engineer at Eppiughausen's quarry, near Stinesville,
and that he had been on a visit to
Bedford, and took the train thai
night for Stinesville ; he saw a man pass hurriedly through the car, just
after the train was setting under
headway after stopping at the station, and that the man had a stick in his hand ; he said that he had not seen the man from (hat time till Wednesday of last week. He also said that he recognized the hickory stick, which was exhibited to him. Witness was cross-exam-ined in no gentle manner by Jason
Brown, who asked him who he had
been telling how be intended to testify., just before taking the wit
ness stand ; he denied telling any
one : he was asked who paid his
hotel bill, and he replied that he would, and that he had not received money or been promised anything
as an inducement to testify ; that
Eastman had subpoened him. De
fense, with the evident intention of an effort at impeachment in view,
asked about certain statements said
to have been made in a saloon, alt
of which he denied. Iuqtiiry was
then made ss to indictments in Lawrence wunty ; Sterohagen said he
was indicted for carrying concealed weapons; he was then asked if be had out been indicted upon a more
serious charge, at which he entered a positive denial, and warned Mr.
Brown that be must not accuse him
of it. A great deal of comment
was. caused in the court room and
on the streets, by Steinhagen's tes
timonies it is corroborative of t;bat given by Mr. Dillon, who, at the
first trial was the only person who testifiiid to seeing Chambers on the
train, or passing through it.
George Davis, the wounded ex-
prcps messenger, was placed on the
stand, Saturday forenoon. During
the progress of the former trial in
September, Dr. Palmer of Louis
ville, testified that Davis had "a
sore brain," and that the excitement
incident to testifying might result in his sudden death. There has been a general wish that Davis might recover health and memory so that he could identify the guilty man if he is under arrest,but in thin regard the tostiraony given by the young man was unsatisfactory. To all apnearances he was perfectly rational,
but Lis memory is a blank from the time he left Bedford till some weeks
after he was assaulted by the robber and would-be murderer, lie re
members that he got his goods
arranged after leaving Bedford, and
that is all he was evidently asleep
when the first blow was struck. He did not know or recognize Ches-
ley Chambers, who sat in front of
him while he testified. Davis is a handbome, intelligent-appearing
young man, and it is pitiful to see
him the physical wreck he is.
In his rulings Judge Bicknell de
cided that the case hinged entirely
on thu question of identification,
and so ruled out the testimony
as to immoral acts and as to alleged
forgeries. The testimony for the
state was closed on Saturday even
ins and John R, East begun bis
statement for the defense. No evidence that could truthfully be call
ed "new" has been introduced by
the state except that of Mr. Stein-
bagen, who corroborates Mr. Dillon's testimony as to Chambers pass
ing through the train just previous
to the robbery.
Judge Bicknell intimated to the
attorneys that the case must be gotten into this week that he would give them- a certain amount of time and that speeches must be compressed within it. The Judge ruled out a great number of the witnesses who had before testified to Chambers' good character, thus shortening the case considerably. The testimony for the defense, so far, has been precisely that offered at the tormer trial, and so is not worth reproducing. Guesses are already being made as to the action of the . .a
jury most ot toe guesses are thai
the jury will bang with ten for
conviction.

THE FIRST GUN Of the '86 Campaign. The Republican meeting called for last Saturday afternoon convened promptly in the court house at 1 o'clock, the Chambers case having been adjourned till 2 p. m, for that purpose. At the stroke of the clock Chairman Browning called the meeting to order, and stated its ob
ject to be the selection of Congres
sional delegates and a new county
central committee. Henry F. Dill-
man, Secretary, then read the call
On motion of Gil. K. Perry, Mr.
Wm. F. Browning was chosen
President of the meeting, and after briefly thanking the Republicans tor
the honor, he read an address from
the State central committee on the
subject of selecting county central
committeemen, to which he added
some well timed remarks of his
own.
In order that the business before
the meeting might be dispatched
with celerity, two Secretaries were elected : S. W. Bradfute and W.A.
Gabe.
The President, after counseling
the rapid dispatch of the business
on hand, suggested that the committees promptly report their selec-
tionof men in each township to act as delegates to the congressional convention to be held in Greencastle oo the 11th of February, as well as the committeemen chosen.
His closing remarks were :
Our party as to Government officers is
out of power for the time being only, but as to county officers in Monroe county, elected by the people, all ot them are Re
publicans except one ana ne was eieoiea by Republican votes. And now I call upon you Republicans to ioin me in doing our whole duty in the
coming campaign and see to it that at the November election, 1886, every candidate on the Republican ticket in Monroe county is triumphantly elected. Democrats expect us to do this. We have done it in the past and can do it in the future. The Republican party has in Monroe county a clear majority of not less than 100 votes. To the members of the new Central Committee permit me to say, that very great responsibilities rest upon you. The succass of eur party depends greatly upon you and your work in your respective townships, and upon your prompt attendance at all the meetings of the Central Committee in Bloomington whenever called by your Chairman.
