C.HAWFO]iDSVlLLE, INDIANA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 23. IM'U

IN DAN'S BEHALF.

Tlio l)cf«-tiHu in the longlilin C».«w» ltetfln* Its Work. CHICAGO, Jan. 23.—The prosecution in the Conghlin trial was permitted to reopen its case at the morning1 session of court for the purpose of proving that the horse Keporter Heck showed to Frank Scanlan was the same horse he showed to Mrs. T. T. Conklin, and which she identified as the one after which Dr. Cronin drove away on the nitfht of May 4.

After hearing several witnesses on this point the attorneys for the prosecution said that they could not contend against the opposition of the defense to Mrs. Conkling' identification of the bug-gy. They could not riyhtly maintain that it ouffht to po into the evidence. Accordingly Judge Tuthill excluded it. The defense renewed its motion to have the entire testimony of Mrs. Conklin excluded. The motion was overruled. Attorney Bottum then announced the case of the prosecution closed.

This done the defense began the introduction of its witnesses. The first was Dr. J. l«\ Todd, who was county physician in 1 teSVL Judge Wing submitted to the doctor a longv hypothetical question similar to that put by Mr. Bottom to Drs. Henrotin and Church, and being a description of the wounds and injuries found on Dr. Croniti's head and the condition of the body. The two questions differed radically on an important point. Mr. Bottum had described the injuries as contusions or contused wounds, while Judge Wing's question characterized all the injuries ns incised wounds. The distinction is important, because to a certain extent the state's case rests on it It is an admitted fact in medical science that incised or clean-cut wounds will not cause concussion of the brain nor fatal shock, while contused wounds, made with a blunt instrument, might or would cause such shock or concussion to the brain as to cause death. The theorj7 of the state as set forth in the indictment of Coughlin and the codefendants is that death resulted from shock caused by the injuries on the head, and therefore it is necessary for the state to show that death was caused as charged.

In response to the question Dr. Todd said he could not reach the conclusion, as a medical man, that death was caused by the wounds on the head, lie would say that the cause of death was unknown.

Judge Wing then read to Dr. Todd the same hypothetical question put by Mr. Jiottum to Drs. Church and Henrotin, and asked the same final question: "What would you say, in your opinion, was the cause of death?" "I could not tell from that description of injuries and conditions."

On cross-examination Dr. Todd admitted that the wounds described in the hypothetical question put to him by Judge Wing as contused were the most serious. Dr. Todd became considerably mixed up on his cross-exam-ination, and was forced to correct his answers to several questions after being shown his error by Attorney Bottum.

MORE LETTERS FROM HAWAII.

Cleveland Submits Auother Batch of Correnpondence to C"»grefR. WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.—A special message from the president, transmitting additional Hawaiian correspondence, was laid before the house Monday afternoon. The retirement of Vice President Hatch, of Hawaii, is announced and the election of W. C. Wilder to succeed hiin. The executive council, the correspondence says, has been raised from four to five persons, a minister of foreign affairs being added. The president has heretofore discharged the duties of this oftice. A petition and memorial address to President Cleveland from the "Hawaiian Patriotic league." claiming to represent 8,000 legal voters, is inclosed by Minister Willis without comment The memorial alleges a conspiracy on the part of Minister Stevens and the men in the present provisional government and denies that the present provisional government represents the people of Hawaii. The memorial indorses the report of Commissioner Blount and pleads for the restoration of the queen.

After the reading of the correspondence Mr. Boutelle (rep., Me.) charged that it was apparent from the three successive messages sent to the house that the goverment was engaged In fomenting insurrection in a country with which the United States was at peace. He desired to oall up his privileged resolution. Hot words between Mr. Boutelle and the speaker followed.

Sir. Hatch (dem., Mo.) asked that Mr. lioutelle's words be taken down and Mr. Boutelle was ordered to take his seat. He refused to do so and the sergeant-at-arms, with the silver mace, was called upon to support the speaker's authority.

Senator Hill Likely to Make lVioro Trouble for the President

DISPLEASED WITH A NOMINATION.

Wlii-eler H. Porkham. Who I* M«»r#» IHs» to the New York Senator Kven Than llnmiilower, Named for 'he Kupj'fiiM*

HITS UAt'K A llll.l,.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 23. Wheeler II. l'eckhum, of New York, has been nominated liy the president for associate jsstieeof the supreme court, Vice W. II. Ilornblower, rejected. This action is looked upon by politicians as a direct slap at Senator 11 ill. Senator Hill objected to llornblow -firsts because lie was one of (lie committee of the New York Itar association that signed the report against Maynard for his connection with the alleged legislative frauds in New York- second, because he was (and is) an anti-snapper. If Senator Hill objects to Nominee I'eekham it, will be. first, because he not only signed the report, but presented it to the legislature and was very prominent in prosecuting Maynard ou the charges set forth in the report second, Peckliam is an ardent anti-snapper: third, iu a recent interview on tilt* turning down of Ilornblower Peekham denounced Hill in the most virulent manner, and said: "Such things were to be expected when a reptile like Hill wallowed in the dirty politics of the day."

May HP Kcjerted.

It is too curly to preoict what the senate will do if Hill determines to fight the confirmation of Peekham, but as Peekham, in his interview, also sav-

ll£cly

criticises the senate for rejecting Ilornblower, it need not surprise anyone to see enough senators rally around Hill to reject the new nominee by a larger majority than that which killed the nomination of Ilornblower. 1/uiltfng Sertoli* lelay.

While the personal feature of the vacancy in the supreme court interests the politicians, it docs not approach in importance the material interests affected by delay. Questions of constitutional law, upon the decision of which hang great property interests, are being held abeyance Until a full bench can pass upon them, and naturally litigants are impatieut under the enforced waiting, already too long protracted when the senate finally rejected the Ilornblower nomination.

There are now twenty-two cases on the (.locket of the court, some of which have been side-tracked since the beginning of the October term, awaiting the advent of a successor to Jnstic Hlatehford. lieeause of the awkwardiless of a possible tie vote in the court on any of these eases the justices of the supreme court., now eight iu number, are most anxious to see the ninth member of their tribunal appointed and eonfirmed.

BLOW AT PROHIBITION

Iowa Supreme Court to Ke^rse Its UMii1ou on tho Amendment. DICK Moists, la,, Jan. 23.—The supreme court lias decided the famous ease of .1. A. Harvey vs. W. M. McFarlaud, secretary of state, involving the constitutionality of the prohibitory amendment to the state constitution adopted in 1S72. Ten years ago the supreme courtdecided thai owing to certain errors in the journals of the general assembly the amendment was not eonsti tut ion ally adopted andjtherefore void. The State Temperai.cc alliance found proofs that these errors were in the journals only and that all the constitutional requirements were complied with. '1 his action WHS brought by mandanu's proceedings to compel the secretary of state to furnish plaintiff a copy of the amendment, the alliance hoping thus to get the old question before the supreme court, lliat tribuual, however, refuses to reopen the question and holds that Secretary Mcl-'arland, "cannot be compelled to decide as to the legal effect of any of the records in his custody, and he is just as much bound by the decision of this court that the ulieged amendment was not legally adopted as any other public oflleer or private citizen of the state."

This decision puts a final quietus on constitutional prohibition in Iowa and leaves nothing of prohibition but the statute which will probably be repealed by the present legislature.
