Swlt2er was on

week. His narrative began with the receipt of a telegram from Pettit announcing the death of his wife. In company with Mr. Hickman he went to IMtit's home at Shawnee Mound. He said: "We drove over and round a great number of Shawnee Mound people here. I saw Pettit in his study when I entered the house. No one went with me to the study. When I sympathized with him he thanked me and said he wanted me there. Hickman came in about three minutes. I left very soon after Hickman came in. Hickman said: 'God jiowB, Fred, I bring you deepest sympathy.' Pettit said: 'ft is pretty tough on me.' I could not say, but I think Pettit invited me to stay. When I informed him that I would stay all night he seemed very much gratified. We were served a lunch a number of others atethere were about forty persons present. I went to the study after supper and found Mrs. Whitehead there with Pettit. Whitehead left immediately. I saw nothing that attracted my attention but their being alone. They were sitting four or five feet apart. The door was not locked. I said to Mr. Hickman that I believed that I had better stay ali night. My purpose for staying was that I had thought the conduct of Mr. Pettit and Mrs. Whitehead unbecoming, and if I remained it would prevent their doing anything that would cause remark. I did not discuss the matter with Hickman, or mention the matter to Pettit or Mrs. Whitehead. I did not see her in the room on any other occasion. After I had come down stairs Mr. Pettit came down and Mrs Whitehead and he went to the front door and remained conversation for some time. I was in the sitting room. They met at the stairway again. I think that on that night Mrs. Whitehead had a general oversight of the house. She invited us to supper. I have no recollection of Pettit talking with any other woman except Mrs. Ford. I do not remember that I slept at all that night. The natural surrounding was enough to k^ep anyone awake. The same reason that caused me to stay tlwe made ine sleepless. Next morning I went up stairs to call Pettit to hr, akfast. He wa« in the bed room alone, dre.«=-in:r for the services I saw Mr. Pettit and Mrs. Whitehead afterwards. The door was opei.-they were ppeking a valise. I was told by Mr. Pettit that they were preparing little Dean's clotl.es. I think that was the last time I saw them to. gether. Mrs. Whitehead went to her home for her breakfast. 1 had 'never seen them together alone berore the time of the death. After breakfast Pettit and Mrs. Ford and' little Dean went in to take a last look at the remains. The door was closed and there were noises in the room as or great grief." During the relating of the above, Mr. Pettit wept quietly, covering his face with his hands, but recovered his composure iu a minute. The eyes of the. prisoner showed tears. Jessie Hawthorne testified on his return from the burini of his wife in New York Pettit told him he had learned that Mrs. Whitehead loved him also in a conversation with Mrs. Whitehead concerning her conduct with Pettit Mrs. Whitehead said that if people only knew the longings of her heart they would not he so severe 011 her. Several people testified to the happy relation existing between Pettit aud his wife.

Is Marriage a Failure?

On a bright suuuy afternoon in October last David Hammer called at the homo of the home or the writer and asked him to unite him and Miss Dora Viers in marriage. After promising to comply with his wishes we repaired to the residence or R. B. Snyder 011 that Sunday evening aud there in the midst of a large audience they promised eacli other to live together in marriage after God's ordinance until death. Mr. and Mrs. Snyder gave them an elegant supper and many presents were received and the happy couple set out on life's hard road with light hearts. The honey moon had not yet gone down until the young groom ends all by taking six grains of strychnine, and after suffering terrible agony for three quarters of an hour, passes from this life. The terrible scene of death was at the home of his mother uer Westlield, Hamilton county, Ind. The young widow sent a dis patch to the writer aud ho hastened to the place iu time to perforin the last sad rites. The widow is well known 111 this couuty having lived here nearly all her life. Young in years she was left an orphan with but little of the goods of this world and now, before her 20th year is readied, she is left a widow to carry, as she told the writer, a heavy load of grief for one so young, and will never know why the husband took his life. We have been asked why he did it but we don't know.

D. S. MORBLS.

Supreme Court Reporter.

THE REVIEW is not given to commending to the consideration of delegates to the state convention any one who may be a candidate for office who may be a stranger to them, and we have very generally abstained from saying anything pro or con regarding any one appearing for a state official position. We are gratified. however, to inake an exceptionfto this xule in the case of Mr. Daniel McDonald, candidate for reporter of supreme court, and a resident of Plymouth. Mr. McDonald comes from a line of democratic antecedents, has as much influence in his party as any man with whom we are acquainted in northern Indiana, is a good business man, and a genial pleasant gentleman. We do not think the conventiou could make a better move In the selection of candidates than to bestow upon Mr. McDonald the nomination for which lie aspires. It assuredly will add strength to the ticket, and if elected he will make a first class official in every respect. P^/#S

Can't Drink and Be Free.
