Semoving Our!Insane.

Dr. \vri ?ht, Superintendent of the Insane Asylum at Indianapolis, was in the city Monday and visited our poor asylum with the view of removing the incurables to the State Asylum. He found three at the Poor House which he will take. Oliver Carey, the wild man Hoffman, who is known as "Dutchy" and pronounced "by Dr. Wright to be the most filthy person lie ever saw, and Sarah Blue. The opening of tne Richmond Asylum caused about 150 removvals irom the Central Asylum and Dr. Wright is gathering up the insane from the various poor houses in the district and placing them where they will be cared for at State expense. The Doctor will send an attendant over to assist in the removal of the three persons irom this county. It will relieve the Superintendent of the Poor Asylum of a great burden,

DKAK BKOTIIKK.—Your sad letter was received last nijjbt and 1 need not say, for i^ou must know me well enough to know, that 1 deeply sympathize with you in this your crowning affliction. How can mortal man or woman add to the grief already felt by you. We have unbounded trust and faith in you and we l'ully leei the confidence you have shown us by writing of this terrible thing. We have often commented on the apparent love and confidence that you two felt for each other. Each seemed necessary for the other's happiness.

My brother, go on in your work.

God will give you strength and wisdom. I believe our loved one can look down upctn our hearts and if we listen can direct our thoughts on high and guard and guide us to our home. Don't you believe if she could tell you she would say to you, "Keep on with your work." Eo not decide now, Fred, my brother, but wait awhile and see if your work and strength do it shall be made manifest to you. Dine is well ai)d justnow when I told her I was writing to papashesays, "Send him somekisses and a great big hug." Whatever may come we will stand by you for the sake of our loved one and for yourself. Write often. Your loving sister, LAUKA.

P. S.—Bob says, "The fools, do they expect anyone would believe that Fred would be guilty of such a thing. He loved Hattie too much for that."

The second was from the same to the same. WESTMOXHOE, N. Y. Aug. 21, 'Sti.—MY DI:AU

BKOTIIKK

—I too have a sad duty to

do. 1 must write to you what will surprise and sadden you, but we think it justice to you to know all now. August 5 ma received a letter which 1 will now send to you. Unfortnnatcl.v 1 was not in the room,"and she told Nellio to open and read it for her. Nellie read two or three lines and stopped and ran to me with it. But ma had heard so much and must know the rest. Wc were nearly wild but almost instantly Bob said "It'sa lie some malicious person bus written that lor spite." We knew it was as he said and all. Bob, nia and I said '•No one but ourselves shall know of it except Gene, till we know more." Then 1 wrote to Mr. McCorkle and told him what had been written us but added that we all had unbounded confidence in you, but as the writer expressed such views it was necessary that it be explained. I requested him to say nothing to you, hoping you would hear nothing about it, ever. Then as soou as the mail could bring them, we received letters from Mr. McCorkle, a statement from Dr. Yeager, and a letter from Mi s. Carter, all ol which it almost needless to say corroborated our own uleas of the letter each and every one expressed their abhorrence of the writer of the venomous unsigned letter. The same day came .your own long satisfactory letter. Wo know how it owrung your poor heart to go over the dreadful details, but you bravely did not falter, but told all there was to tell. Before any of the letters had come I had promised mother to write to Mrs. Whitehead, as Dine said "Mamma could not bear to have Aunt Clemmiego home at all," but .vanted her to stay right there,as we thought she would be able to tell us more of the par. ticulars of Hattie's sickness than ever you could with j'our nerves strained to the utmost tension. But, brother, wo have not the least doubt of your entire innocence, and our most earnest prayers are for you to find the person who could so blacken one that is guiltless, but as your friends there are so willing to guarantee your innocence to us, we know they will stand you as well. It seems almost like a lack of confidence in one toward you to write to you and not tell you of this while I was writing to others, but, as God is my witness, it was to spare your pain, your poor over-burdened heart was too full to bear more. But "Come unto me, all ye that are weary and heavy ladqn, and I will give you rest." Oh, my dear brother, your enemies cannot harm you when you have on the full armor of righteousness. May God be with you till we meet again. LAUKA.

The third a short one was as follows: DEAII FHED.—Will you when you re-write that letter, omit all mention of poison being scattered, or anything of that nature. Achsie's suggestion, as she don't wish it to be tulkcd about. LAUIIA.

VERNON C. TODD

came in with a big grin and a chew of tobacco he is a banker of Monrovia, O., and was in Columbus in the Fall of '89. Boomed with Pettit at Mrs. Wooler's

while there. On one evening Pettit asked witness why he didn't marry and the witness said he intended to some day Pettit said ho knew a real snug little widow near Lafayette with a snug little farm and about $20,000 spot cash he said her name was Whitehead and he kept her picture on his bureau. Pettit said his wife had died in July but witness did not ask for details as he thought he might harrow his feelings Pettit was then agent for some book and a little instrument for the prevention of conception which he carried as a side issue.

EEV. (!. W. SWXTZER

"Was called and there was a perceptible sensation was stationed at Shawnee Mound for three years as pastor of the M. E. church then came to Crawl'ordsville where he is entering on his fourth year has known the prisoner a little over 4 years. Arrived at parsonage with Hicktnan about 7:30 Wednesday evening of Mrs. Pettit'8 death then saw Pettit and Mrs. Whitehead alo:e in the study witness shook hands with both and Mrs. Whitehead left the room witness expressed surprise and sympathy at the death of his wife. Soon after Dr. Hickman came to the study when witness went to the study the door was closed and not knowing any body was with him did not knock but went right iu. Pettit and Mr3. Whitehead were close together on chairs Hickman offered sympathy and Pettit said, "It's pretty tough on me." Went back to the study in an hour and a gam saw Pettit and Mrs. Whitehead alone, door closed. They sat near each other as before and Mrs. Whitehead left the room as before witness only staid a short time but came back frequently ettit asked witness in the study after 9 o'clock if he should return to Shawnep Mound next year witness said he thought it not best as the people there wanted their pastor to occupy the parsonage he said he did not expect to be without a wife long but witness said he ought not marry for a long time witness' argument did not prevail with Pettit did not talk about the poison that night and only a little about his wife's illness saw Pettit and Mas. Whitehead together in the front yard about 10:30, again at the foot of the stairs about half hour later their conversation was in a low tone at the stairway almost a whisper. Did not hear what they were saying they were alone in the yard ana were gone about 20 minutes saw Dine in the bedroom, Pettit, Mrs. Ford and Mrs. Whitehead being present. Dine put her arms around witness's neck and talked about her mothor's death. Pettit left with witness but did not say anything to Dine, nor embrace her nor say good night to her. Pettit talked in a general conversation about the campmeeting. Pettit also talked about the arrangements for the funeral. He told some jokes and laughed about th ,"m in his usual manner. Witness was at campmeeting on July 25, Thursday, the opening day. Saw Pettit Thursday, August 1, in the evening at 10 in his office. Remained until 2 am. Oame at request of Pettit who said he wanted to have a conversation. Pettit locked the door and asked what was the matter. Witness asked for further explanation and Pettit wanted to know the opinion of the Shawnee Mound people in regard to him witness said that it was almost an insult but as he asked he must tell him that his conduct with Mrs. Whitehead was not approved and that A. O. McCorkle and wife had come to the Battle Ground for the purpose of taking Mrs. Whitehead heme Pettit said that Mrs. Whitehead was a friend of the family, a preacher's widow and her company was very pleasant to him because she called his mind from the object of his bereavement that he had slept but one hour since he arrived and was much exhausted all on account of his grief that he looked on Uncle Davy more as a father than as a friend and upon Mrs. Whitehead as his wife's nearest friend witness spoke to Pettit about his wife's recent death and about his conduct during lier sickness, also at Battle Ground where he and Mrs. Whitehead were constantly together reminded Pettit that he had agreed to meet witness at 10 o'clock the night he came but witness waited till 12 and he did not come, giving as an excuse that he was with Mrs. Whitehead Petti, then gave the details of the sickness, saying his wife returned from South Bend on Friday, he meeting heratMonon they drove from Lafayette to Shawnee, and the parsonage and stayed all night there on Saturday his wife was busy cleaning up and in the evening she went to church. She was well as usual about 2 the next morning she became sick at the stomaoi:. He gave her salt and water which produced slight vomiting in the morning lie offered to send for a doctor but she dissented he went to Newtown to preach and while there felt so uneasy that he hurried home at about 3:30 p. m. his wife became sick she tried to vomit by putting her finger down her throat which produced a convulsion, and in withdrawing her hand it was so clinched that two teeth were extracted on Monday she was better on Tuesday worse again a consultation was called but on Wednesday she gradually grew worse and died witness advised Pettit not to Btay another year at Shawnee because of the inconveniences of boarding, and the Shawnee people besides wanted their minister to occupy the parsonage. Pettit asked if he should change li« place at the table at Battle Ground witness said it was not necessary but he should come to services and not spend liis evenings with Mrs. Whitehead. Another talk occurred Monday night at

Pettit's request. Pettit said Geo. Hawthorn had refused to talk to him, and in suoh away as to make him think there was some trouble he knew witness had Hawthorn's confidence and wanted him to intercede, as Hawthorn was the most influential member of the church. Wit­

ness promised to do so. Witness said Pettit's conduct with Mrs. Whitehead had been noticed months before his wife's dsatk. In March Prof. Coulter and witness were to be entertained at Pettit's house one night, but Pettit was not at home and sent them to Meharry'B witness also told Pettit that he and Mrs. Whitehead were at Indianapolis and Lafayette attending musical festivals together and Pettit admitted these things and said he felt free with her as she was a preacher's widow. Pettit asked in regard to an official board meeting witness advised against it and Pettit said he would not call one Pettit asked what he would do when he went baok to Shawnee and witness told him to board at George Hawthorn's as George was his best friend, and could then see that nothing was wrong Pettit said ho did not think George would take liim witness advised him to try at least and then go to Mrs. Merdith Pettit asked witness what his conduct with Mrs. Whitehead should be and was ibid never to go after the mail alone and send for it when possible, n6ver to be alone with Mrs. Whitelieod and to act with suchprudence as would cause no remarks, and witness thought that by the end of the vear his good standing would be restored Pettit asked if Mrs. Whitehead should be allowed to continue at the organ and witness said that that was the business of the music committee

Pettit asked if he should speak to Mrs. Whitehead witness said he should in the same manner as to other women and witness told Pettit if ho continued in his present course he would not bo tolerated in the M. E. church Pettit asked the witness to write to George Hawthorn requesting him not to fight against liim. Witness did this, He also told Pettit that David Meharry asked him to intercede with Mrs, Whitehead to be more pruent, as she was bringing disgrace on the family,but he had not teen her yet. Pettit aeked witness to preach for him the next Sunday witness said he would, but thought Pettit should aB a great deal depended on his work that day. If he acted and spoke so as to show that his conduct with Mrs. Whitehead had been on account of ihoughtlessness it would go a long way toward restoring his good standing. Witness offered to use all his influence in favor of Pettit at Shawnee.

Next talked by telephone with Pettit on Wednesday. Pettit asked witness to preside at an official board meeting. Witness expressed surprise after his advice against. Pettit said Henry Lancaster advised him to call it. Witness advised him to get Hickman to preside.

Next meet at Old Settler's meeting Aug. 23. Pettit asked what the sentiment of Shawnee Mound was in regard to him. Witness said it was strongly against him. Pettit then asked the personal opinion of the witness, who replied that his conduct was an outrage on decency. Pettit said that was a plain answer and witness said if he were a brother it would be still plainer and that his conduct merited a plain answer did not talk with Pettit again until the Brazil conference at the close of the first day's session about noon Pettit came and said he wanted to ask a favor, namely that Hickman and witness push his case through without an investigation witness said Hiokman would insist on one Pettit appealed to him as a friend, but witness said the matter was beyond his control, that night Pettit handed the witness a letter containing dippings about his wife which witness was to use in writing an obituary notice of Mrs. Pettit. Pettit said he wanted a fair notice for his wife even if he could not get justice for himself. At conference he talked with Pettit again the next morning Pettit came up to witness on the church steps and said he would withdraw and said he would like to arrange some business matters he also accused witness of being busy in the matter witness said he had tried to help him but tlie arguments agcinst him were so strong that he could do no good. After the motion was made aud carried for his withdrawal witness met Pettit iu tlie basementof the church and settled some business with him. Pettit then asked witness if he would vote to reinstate him at the end of the year if the rumors were explained away. He said soveral had promised this and witness said he would be glad to. Witness was before the cabinet at conference. Knows Elma C. Whitehead and had a conversation with her in the parlors of the Lahr House in Lafayette December 10 th, 1889. "What conversation did you have with her?" Kumler here objected on the ground that the conversation called for the action of a 3rd party in the absence of Pettit long after the death, and narrates past events. The court thon dismissed the jury to its room in charge of the bailiff and let the State answer the objection after they had filed out. Col. Wilson answered the objections at considerable length. He said that by the evidence already in a conspiracy was proved and that that should permit them to go forward and admit a confession of one of the parties by it they would prove that three weeks before Mrs. Pettit's death Pettit went to Mrs. Whitehead and told her that he disliked his wife and told her he loved her and took her hand and asked her to be his wife. She said, "Nothing must happen to Hattie but if, in time

Kabo never works up or down or breaks. If it does in a year, you shall have your money back from the store where you bought your corset.

The steels may break— the best of steels have their limits of strength. But Kabo has no breaking-limit it doesn't break at all.

And the Kabo corset is perfect in form. The store has a primer on Corsets for you.

to come, you shall be free I will be yourAvife." Iu two weeks Mrs. Pettit died and at onco after this, their marriage vows were resumed with criminal sexual intercourse. This compact is still in existence and and Pettit and Mrs. Whitehead are inalmost daily correspondence and havo been ever since his aVrest. The Colonel then cited at length a oase of similar nature from the 88th Indiana reports. It was the murder oase of the State against Frazier and Mrs. Walton. Col. Wilson frequently spoke of Pettit as a villiau and Pettit looked straight at him all the time with no very pleasant expression on his face. Mrs. Shields stood in the open northeast door and listened intently to the argument.

To make the decision clear we give to-day the question exactly as it was stated and the objections exactly as they wore made. ^Prosecutor Haywood said. •'At that time and place (meaning Dec. 10, 89' at the Lahr house, LoFayejte) what, if anything, did she state to you with reference to her oonduot and relation and the conduct and the relation of the dofendent with her prior to the death of Hattie Pettit, Kumler objected saying, "It calls for an act of a third party in tho absence of the defendant and long after tne death of Hattie Pettit, aud mvst necessarily be a narration of past events." Judge Davidson further objected in the fol-lowing-language: "The act charged in their indictment is the murder of Mrs. Pettit. No conspiracy for any other purpose can be proved. No declaration subsequent to tho accomplishment of that act is competent because it is a declaration after the act charged. The statements of a co-conspirator is never admissible to prove the fact of the conspiracy itself. The question calls for nothing except a collateral matter, the tendency of which can only be to prove a motive and tho fact of tho conspiracy itself. The question calls for nothing more than a narrative, given after the accomplishment of the act charged, ly one not on trial, the absence of the defendant of actions and conduct of tlie narrator and defendant toward each other, aud the declarations which tlie Stute offers to prove are not in any

way

in furtherance

of the conspiracy and do not accompany any act done in furtherance of the alleged common object or purpose. And

WOMAS'3 INSTITUTION.

Nearly Always Eight in her Judgment in Regard to Uomuion Things. An old gentleman over seventy, came into the city from Lis farm, without his overcoat. The day turned cliillv and ho was obliged to forego his visit to tho fair.

To a friend who remonstrated with him for going away from home thue unprepared, he said: "I thought it was going to be warm my wife tola me to take my overcoat, but I wouldn't. Woman have more sense that men anyway."

A frank admission. Women's good sense is said to come from institution, may it not be that they are more dose observers of little things. One thing is certain, luey are apt to strike the nail on the head in all the ordinary problems of life, more frequently than the lords of creation. "According to Dr. Alice Bennett, who recently read a paper on Bright/a disease before the Pennsylvania State Medical Society, persons subject to bilious attacks anc! sick headache, who have crawling sensation, like the flowing of water in the head, who are 'tired all the time' and have unexplained attacks of sudden weakness, may well be suspected of danSerous tendencies in the direction of Bright's Gisease.

The veteran newspaper corresp onden Joe Howard, of the Now York Press, in noting: this statement, suggests: Poesibly Alice is correct in her diagnosis but why dosen't she give some idea of treatment? I know a man who has 'been tired all the time' for ten years. Night before last he took two doses of calomel

(and

yesterday he wished he

hadn't." A proper answer found in the foltowing letter of Mrs. Davis, wife of Eev. Wm. J. Davis, of Basil, Ohio., .June 21, 1890. "I do not hesitate to say that I owe my life to Warner's Safe Cure. I had constant hemorhage from my kidneys for more than five months. The physicians could do nothing for me. My husband spent hundreds of dollars and I was not relieved. 1 was under the care of the most eminent medi?al men in the state. The hemorhage ceased before I had taken one bottle of the Safe Cure. I can safely and do cheerfully recomend it to all who are sufferers of kidney troubles.
