1^ ^/haul's head while in the dentist's chair 1*) wont to Lafayette In tho afternoon /. :/ritness was at camp meeting aud talked with Pettit about his wife witness said she was a dear good woman and he so agreed witness eaid she did not seo how he could forget her so sonn. This remark was called out by things she had heard.

Saw him at Meharry's Grove 011 July 4, 1SS9, and he said if his wife did not care enough about him to return from lier visit she could stay, he wouldn't go aft»r her he had written tolling her to stay as long as she wanted to. Remembered tho the official board meeting after tho camp meeting and was present at the conversation he night before between tho two Hawthorn families and Pottit at Jesse Hawthorn's Pettit said he had acted as lie had done to secure a home for Adine he said lie had found out that Mrs. Whitehead loved him ainco his wife's death ho said to George not to go to Mrs. Whitehead to complain as he alone was to blame Goo. accused him of being to intimate with women, bringing up the matter of his attempting to hug and kiss tho hired girl Ollie Beese he denied this. (The defense obj' cted to all these answers but were overruled.) The witness remembered no other conversation. Coming back to the conversation aoove given, the witness, after more objections were overruled, stated that Pettit had asked Alex Meharry how long he should wait before marryine Mrs. Whitehead and reference had been made by George Hawthorn to this fact during the conversation. "Was any reference made by Pettit about staying on Shawnee?" assed Haywood. "Yes, but I'd rather some one else would tell it, I can't. I just can't tell it," replied the witness. Saw medicine given Mrs. Pettit on Tuesday, it was in a capsule she had convulsions in 15 minutes the medicine giveu was quinine so Pettit said Mrs. Pettit 6aid she did not like quinine, took Jie capsule, wiped it on her dress, after touching it to her tongue and finally took it.

CROSS.—Got to Pettit's at 5*p. m. on Sunday with Emu.a Hawthorne a number of ladies, David and Ethan Mehai ry were present heard Mrs. Pettit say to Da\ id Meharry that she had poisoned herself by inhaling the strychnine she had put out. (Here Anderson cried "I object to these questions on a re-cross examination. You questioned her on these points last week." "I submit Your Honor," said Kumler with a mild and injured air, "that we did not cross examine this witness at all last week," and upon examination he was to bo oorrect,) She said she had cleaned up all day Saturday and had then inhaled the poison. Mis. Pettit soemed quite tick then, her face looked red and worn and she said she had no fever she soon took strong coffee and vomited. Dr. Yeager came and gave liquid medicine saw the doctor leave four capsules on the table. Pettit gave none of these Tuesday morning. Sunday evening Mrs. Pettit said she wanted Mrs. Whitehead to sleep in cho house, saying to her, "Don't go. I want you to sleep in the house, you are such a good nurse and know just what to do. Don't go away at all." Witness sat up with Mrs. Jesse Hawtnorn until 2 a. m. Mrs. Whitehead then came down. Pettit was up assisting all the time. Hot applications were given aud renewed from time to time. Pettit and Mrs. Whitohead assisted the witness in this work, I no medicine was given hor. Patient ate some breakfast Monday consisting of tea, egg and rice, she touched but little of it, Mrs. Whitehead gave it to her.

There was no change after the meal, except that she got cold. She was rubbed, had hot applications and extra covers to allay this. Mrs. Jesse Hawthorne was not present during this cold spell. Dr. Yeager oame just as tho witness left, witnesa returned at 8 a. m. Tuesday, Mrs. Pettit had just taken her breakfast, and Bessie Wallace was taking it out Pettit and Mrs. Whitehead were in the sickroom while Mrs. Wallace did this saw Pettit give a capsule of quinine then there was a tumbler of medicine on the table from which they gave the patient every hour or so. They said it was digitalis different persons gave it in a teaspoon the capsule 1 and breakfast wore taken very close together Dr. Yeager also gave chloroform that morning all the time. Pettit held the handkerchief part of the time Mrs. Pettit had dinner offered her but refused it was in the room when the injection was given at 3 p. m., but Mrs. Pettit got no relief from 5 it never heard Mrs. Pettit object to taking the chloroform to Yeager witness left at 8 m., and remembered of nothing being offered Mrs. Pettit for supper no medicine to the knowledge of the witness was given after the injection Mrs. Pettit was very sick all the afternoon Mrs.

Whitehead suggested a consultation after her return from a ride with Mrs. Vater, saying to Yeager, "I see a change for the worse and want a consultation." Yeager said I10 understood the case thoroughly but' said he would hold a council to satisfy them. Pettit urged a council and Black was sent for at once Mrs. Whitehead was driving with Mrs. Vater an hour and a half the air in the sick room was eharged with chloroform all Tuesday and it affected a'l who stayed in the room Mrs. Pettit told David Meharry on Sunday that she had put poison in her kitchen cupboard 011 Tuesday night Yeager returned at 11

RE- CROSS.—Peltit gave his wife the capsule Tuesday just as the witness of" the room. It was then paste o'clock and the court adjourned. The audience all day was small except in tho womans' section which was packed like a sardine box. iros. FRANK BHOWN Is a member of the Shawnee church. Remembered the festival of Feb. 14, '89 and was there. Pettit and Mrs. Whitehead came about 11 p. m. Mrs. Pettit and Adiue came early walking. Pettit and Mrs. Whitehead were together a good part of the evening and seemed to have a good deal to say to each other. They took supper together. The witness was tlien excused, the defense making no cross-examination.

FRANK o. BROWN,

Husband of the preceding witness was oailed. Was at the funeral of Mrs. Pettit. Pettit's manner was quiet and he leaned his head down. Saw Pettit and Mrs. Whitehead come to that eooial about 11 o'clock, knew where they had been before eleven o'clock but not of his own knowledge. (Witnes3 started tosayMrs.etit told him out was interrupted by attorneys on both sides.) They were at the social until 12 o'clock.

Mrs. Whitehead was with him and they took dinner together. After camp meeting had a conversation with Petit at ^witness' house just the two present witness sent for Pettit to show him a letter from Mrs. Shields. He oame, read the letter and said "Isn't this terrible, Grod knows I'm innocent." He explained then the eup of tea, saying he made a cup of tea for his wife and himself. He set his cup on the table and gave her her cup. She drank some of it and said: "Why Fred, this is not good, it is bitter.' He told her not to drink any more. She asked him what he made it in. He said in a tin. She said "I do not know whether I washed the tin or not." He took the tea and threw it out did not tell witness whether he tasted his tea or not. Pettit said he was sorry Mrs. Shields had heard of this for she was a woman who would go to the bottom of it. Witness said she wished he would clear it up he said his back life was too bad to try to clear it up witness asked him after he read the letter if he knew anything of this trouble said he did not afterwards he told me a friend had met him iu Lafayette as he was coming from the Battle Ground and asked him if he knew the Shawnee people were talking this about him. He said then he would explain the letter, saying Mrs. Whitehead had always been a friend to them and had come to them and told her troubles and they had sympathised with her he thought a great deal of her and sinoe these rumors he thought more of her witness told him she would write a letter to Mrs. Shields that night but was too nervous and would do it next night Pettit asked witness if she had any idea who wrote the letter.

Saw him again after conference told him he was sorry he had withdrawn, and he responded that had he done otherwise he would have to stand a trial which would not be fit for ladies to attend asked him if he was not afraid the grand jury would get him he said no as he would be far away, iu California or some other place.

MRS. KATE BRADLEY

was re-called. Ate supper at the parsonage Wednesday evening, July 17. Heard Mrs. Ford say Pettit ought to remain in New York on account of Adine several week.

Note From Eev. E. R. Johnson. ROLLING PBURIE, Oct. 20.—We reached here in good shape on Thursday afternoon and were entertained at the home of A. B. Towner. On Friday wfcset up house, and tho same evening the people came in bringing well filled baskets and enjoyed a pleasant time getting acquainted. When they left there were several packages of the necessaries of life they forgot to take away, intentionally it is presumed, from potatoes up to sugar, coffee and other things. On Sunday I preached to the people both morning and evening. Next Sunday services will be held eight miles from here. I am thankful to my irienda in Crawfordsville and Crawfordsville circuit, and pray that God may bless them all. E. R. JOIINSOX.

Hon.K.V.Mitokshiru addrcssedhls old friends and neighbors on Monday evening, Oct-. 2 1. 1 orsonaliy, Mr. Mrookshire has the respect and confidence of these old friends and neighbors, but troni a polit ical stand-point, many of them are obliged to differ from him.

I ho keynote of Mr. Ilrookshire's speeeli WHS the oppression of tho poor IIY the rich, anil ha was the poor man's friend every time. Mr. llrookshire, unconsciously perhaps, dons tho robes el the demagogue and trios to stir tip that tee

although often latent., between tlio unlearned poor iiiiKi and his rich neighbor, and tried to imike tiis iiudieneo believe thut the Dpinocrntie party exists thut. the poor man niav be curried to glory on liowory beds or cane. And he was not joking eit'.ier.

He tried to prove that the silver bill passed bv the last Congress was in the interest of tin

In other words Unit bill is a wolf in sheep's clot hint,'. This is deuiuKOKuery pure ami simple. It Is a well known fact the leaders of ihe Democratic party are no more in favor of free ttilrer coinage than a few Republicans are. That Hastcrn capitalists are llcniocratio in their tendencies is a well Unowu fact. Is that (iruiul Mofiii, C* rover Cleveland, and his riifiit hand lower,H.\SeereUiry Whitney, no longer in the pai'tv? Hut. the urea lett. amount, of sounding brass and tinkliujr cymbal was found in his diseusj'ion ol the McKlnley bill. Tennvson Kiiys, 'A JJe that, is lullf the truth Is hardest of 'all to ajfl'V'aud it was his discussion of ilie larilf bill that, caused your humble em-respondent t« llnd relief in this letter. Again was Mr. llrookshire the poor man's friend? Again was the Democratic party represented as weepingbitter tears over Republican oppressionol the loor? To naraphrase I'ope, he put tlie handcerchiel'of the Democratic party to his eves to liifle Uie ttvirs it did not shed. This aw'ful McKiulej bill puis no tarid'on cut diamonds, luxury of the rich, hut on tombstones alas, a

of the poor the tarill'is increased. No larilf on the costly shawls of the rich, but I'J.'i percent on the poors washerwoman's coarse fabrics. lie mentioned the high tariff on many of these articles but failed to deliberateand intentionally to mention that, every one of these articles is produced iu this country as cheaply as any foreign country can produce

iIon'L make a speck of diireience totlie asherwoman whether the tarill'on her shawl 200 or :«10 per cent., so long as she can buy in as cheap one place as another. Wh vIs it that -jadoga merchants scratch their heads and twlit their thumbs when Ladoga people go to Crawfordsville or Indianapolis to buy goods? Because they believe these Ladoga people ought to patronize home Institutions, and this is aright and proper feeling. It is the sentiment of the llepublican party, "American markets for American people." This high tariff keeps outeheap English go«ds and enables our manufacturers to compete successfully In the manufacture of these goods. The McKlnley bill may not be perfect—tharo are doubtless unwise prorlsions in it but that the spirit which permeates that bill is a discrimination in l'avor of the rich as opposed to tho poor, is we think a bit of detnagoguery that ought not to pasiunrebuked. Jlr. llrookshire also paid his respects to Andrew Carnegie, but failed to tell his audience ot the tuagnlilcent endowment that satne gentleman has given to tlio city ot Pittsburg

In the way of free libraries.

If Mr Brookshlre's statement concornlug his Income be true, Mr. Carnegie, spent a years income to establish one library and half as much to establish another. Has Mr. Bookshiro done equally as well with the Income with which God has blessed him? Andrew Carnegie cannot make saints of men and women, buthe Is giving them opportunities toward a free and better life. IV believe lie is a wise steward of the wealth which he lias acquired. Senator Voorhees, the greateit Democrat of them all, cannot make a speech without a lllng at Carnegie. And yet Carnegie is a man who pays his debts, who lives a strictly temperate life, who gives employment to thousands of men and women, who spendR Ills money freely tor educational purposes aud In other charities. His great sin is that lie believes in the country of his adoption and that ho is a thorough patriot. Then Mr. Brcoksire paid his compliments to the "force bill," and painted a pathetic picture of men in metal buttons, pistol in their pockets and clubs by their shies standing over voters at the election, but did not say one word of the shotgun policy of the

South, of tho con

dition of tilings there which rendered a Federal supervision of elections absolutely necessary He made It appear that the election bill was Intended to Intimidate Democratic voters, whereas ho well knew Its object was to protect any voter In the exercise of his rights as a votor. Whatever is most sacred to us personally. that we guard with infinite care—so it is with regard to ballot boxes, it is the most sacred privilege of every American citizen. Let him throw around it every safeguard a man who carries a dozen clubs if necessary: it will not effect the honest voter, and the dis honest politician will be keptawuy.

Mr. Brookshlre Is au Interesting spoaker.but wei should like him totell not only the truth, but

the whole

truth, und nothing but the truth.

His suggestion that thero should be a graduated income tax was a good one aud met the approbation of the audience. But when lie came reciprocity there was the same half truth giving lils audience a wrong impression. Signor Blaine doing the double riding act, one foot on Protection and the other on Uecinroclty and cantering around the great political ring. Is merely making an effort to catch votes. It' only a trick: reciprocity is no horse at all, only a dummy, True, it switches its tail, lays back its ears and jumps with protection crery time, but all the same its only the scheme of shrewd politicians to catch votes. Mr. Brookshlre says "Mr.. Bluine sawllic old stock arguments of protection would uo longer avail aud then had to be a new attraction for voters, so reelp roclty was Introduced." Wo sa.r to South America "If you don't tax our goods, we will not tax yours." But, says Mr. llrookshire, "What good will that do tho farmers, for South Ameriei is an agricultural country itself and don't want any of your goods." So you seo reciprocity is a trick. Now then olther tho common school geographies were written by James G, Blaine at tho same time he advanced his reciprocity Idea or else Mr, Brookshire is mistaken The latter says reciprocity will not benefit farmers, for South America is and agricultural country. What If it is? She imports large quantities of manufactured articles from the United States. The more of our manufacturer's goods called for abroad, the better the markets for farmers at home. But tlio geography says one of tho chief Imports ot the South American States Is Hour. It seems me farmers have an Interest there, On tho whole there is a good deal In the reciprocity Idea to tho farmer as well as to the mechanic, and tho capitalist and the farmer who voles for Jamos G. Blaine's reciprocity idoa will not bo the one whose head Is as empty as a gourd

From tho beginning to the close of his address he never uttered the words "soldier" or pension" and left his audience completely in the dark concerning his position on a question so dear to many of the bravo boys. The inference to be drawn was that he is in sympathy with Grover Cleveland and was too cowardly

say so.
