Bniered a Plea ol Mot (•uilty. Jesse White, who is under indictment for the murder of Mrs. Hester Curtis, at Lafayette, was brought into court Tuesday morning, and entered a plea of not guilty to the charge of the state. The indictment is in two counts, charging him with killing Mrs. Curtis with a hatchet and with killitg her with an instrument to the jurors unknown. The indictment charges that the crime was perpetrated on the 19th of last December, although the body of the murdered woman was not found until the 22d of the month. She resided in a somewhat isolated place, and lived alone. The discovery was made by her daughter inlaw, who called to pay the usual Sunday afternoon visit. When found Mrs. Curtis was still seated in her chair, her head thrown to one side, her skull crushed, while splotches of blood were found on the walls and ceilings of the houee. In her hands still tightly clasped was her bank book, which showeiT that she had a small sum in the bank The supposition is that she brought out the book to demonstrate that she had no money in the house, but having recognized the man he killed her to shield himself from discovery. The court appointed the county attorney,
Charles E. Lake, to take charge of the defense of White he being a man without means to employ attorneys.
Ki'ply to Whii«*aville CorrcHiionclciii. EDITOR REVIEW:— In last week'B issue your WhiteBville correspondent discusses the merits of the teachers of the Whitesville school, rofering to myself personally.
Had the circulation of the REVIEW been contined to the narrow limits in which your more narrow minded correfpondent moves, 1 should not have deigned to haye given it passing notice, but since the REVIEW reaches every nook and corner of the county, those unacquainted with the facts are liable to be misled and an injustice done to myself.
Those who know the facts can read between the lines that your correspondent is the father of the only child that gave me any trouble. Because I at. temptad to control his child he sees proper to attack my ability as a primary teacher in an anonymous letter, which is a very cowardly act to say the least.
If Mr. Grisson had not made a personal attack I should, out of respect for hie child, cot have named him out. Having been requested to return both by the trustee and a goodly portion of the patrons, I shall dismiss the matter from my mind.

The Keller-SkaiAs Tragedy. A controversy is imminent between Parke and Fountain counties over the payment of the expenses of the Keller murder trial, which aggregate several thousand dollars. The defendants live in Parke county, while the Shanks family, living just across the roadway, are in Fountain county, the roadway being the dividing line. The sheriff and coroner of Fountain county first took charge of the case, under the supposition that the murder occurred in Fountain county, and Dr. Geiss, of Indianrpolis, was employed as an expert chemist. Six physicians also assisted in holding an autopsy on Clara Shanks' body. Ihese physicians have sued for $600 for services and have taken a change to this county. The report is revived that Maggie Keller, the sister will sue for damages, it being claimed that there never was sufficient testi mony against her on which to base an indictment. Considerable dissatisfaction is expressed in the Wolf Creek neighborhood over the acquittal of the defendants, still no violence is threatened.,- ..

The last Fountain county grand juryseemed to have been composed of rather strange material, judging from its action in the Hauk-McClamrock case. Both Hauk and Dr. Stout wero arrested as conniving or causing the death of Grace M. McClamrock some weeks ago, the testimony of Hauk himself being' considered in itself, sufficient to have have held both of them. Instead of
tbiB
the jury failed to indict either of' them and they were on the point of being liberated. Sheriff .Davie and Prosecutor Kennedy, of this county, who had been summoned to Covington by theprosecutor of Fountain county, who hail learned what would be the action of the grand jury, stepped up and rearrested Hauk, claiming jurisdiction over him as provided by sac. .1.049 of the revised statutes of Indiana, which reads as fbJ«^ lows: "When a public offense has teen committed partly in one county and partly in another, or the act, or effects constituting, or requisite to the consummation of the offense occurs in two counties, the jurisdiction is in either1 county."
Hauk was brought to jail here on Wednesday evening, and the result of his case under another grand jury may, and it is believed will, be entirely, different.
Judge Rabb, of the Fountain circuit, in a few words, rebuked the grand .iurys for its action in this matter.
