Dr. W. H. Tayior, Late of This Oity, Claims to Have Discovered the Oonsumption Oure.

The Iudianapoiis Sentinel of this date •ontains a lengthy letter from Dr. W. H. Taylor who claimed to have superceeded Dr. Koch in the discovery of the cure of consumption by inoculation. He says in brief:

Some fourteen years ago while practicing medicine in Crawfordsville, Ind assisted by my brother, now president of the board of health of this state, "I began and followed up a series of experiments in inoculations for the cure of consumption. Ihe patients were well known residents of Montgomery county, Indiana, aud the history of the cases operated upon is fresh in the minds of a number of reputable citizens, professional and lay. I may say, however, that remarkable results in the way of ameliora tlon of the worst svmptoms of advanced cases of phthisis attended all of the ex. periments -even going to the extent of apparent recovery reaching over years following the last inoculation. I had found out that inoculation with fresh bovine vlrup would terminate quickly the fever of tuberculosis and brings about apparent recovery with all its attendant blessings In the way of restored appetite, digestion, assimilation, cessation of chill, fever, cough and expectoration, and I innocently thought my professional brethren would bo glad to know It and try it for thomsf Ives. They wore not glad to know it, and they did not try it. At least I never heard of any trials of the method. Since leaving Crawfordsville—ten years ago I have not repealed the experiments, mainly on account of engaging in a specialty, the "eye and ear, which took me out of the general practice.

I bollev*, however, that my experiments aro much mote complete than Dr. Koch's inasmuch as I was enabled to follow the history of my most noted cases, all four of whom died years afterwards of consumption. These were extreme cases, having all the jharacteiis tics of phthisis in tiie third stage—daily chills and fever, cough, purulent expectoration, emaciation, night sweats and the physical signs of cavities In the lungs, A large number of less pronounced cases—cases, in fact, in which tbe diagnosis might well be in doubt—recovered permanently.

I am strongly persuaded that if my method had been followed up by my successors, In the cases referred to, each attack of tuberculosis might have been as successfully met with as those in which I did such good service with th" virus bovlnls. At all event?, I should at this time, unhesitatingly advocate a tria of this method in consumption, rather than any other method or medicine with which I an acquainted.-

I shall here venture the prediction that all the inveterate maladies, Including cancer, consumption, leprosy, etc., will in the future be most successfully treated by Inoculation.

STILL CONFIDENT.

W. F. Jrettit Although Surprised at the Verdict, is liotDiscouiaged, Mr, Pottit is not reoeiviug callers, but a JOUKNAII reporter was admitted Friday morning and found him in excellent spirits, all things considered. He has been removed from his room in the hospital back into cell No. 5 in tho rotary, us bhoi'ill MoClaekey did not care to itcur public criticism. "Yes, I am feeling excellently under tho circumstances," said he, "and a consciousness of innocence will bear mo up, come wbat may. I um still confident, however, that I will yot stand vindicated before the world. Of course I. was greatly surprised at the verdict, so oonfiden had a sense of innocence rendered me, that it came like a bolt from a elear sky. I never realized until now what wrong circumstances could bring about until now. I was muoh depressed yesterday and am still, far from feeling well, yet I feel confident of obtaining anew trial. Injustice like this cannot last forever, and it is along lane that has no turning. So many errors have crept in that some of them are Bure to stick. In the meanwhile I shall bide mv time and suy nothing."

Mr. Pettit felt terribly yesterday, not only on his own acoount, out that ol his mother and daughter. He felt too badly in fact to write to the former who resides in Oswego, N. Y., and that office was performed by Judge Davidson,who ifc firmly convinced of hiB client's innocence.

Sheriff McClaskey and Clerk Hulett state that the trial cost each of t.hnm about $250.

If you want one of those pamphlet histories of the Pettit trial leave word at TH» JOUBNAIJ office.

The court has ordered the full reoord in the case written out and the work will take Will White ten weeks.

There seems to be no possible means of discovering the man who voted for acquittal on the first ballot or the two who voted for the death penalty

The fees cf the jury and the veniremen amounts to $1,285, the board of the jury and bailiff to $486,85 and the summoning officer $150. The good old county of Tippacanoe foots all this

The attorneys for the defense are roasting the students of Wabash College' in great style, asserting that they packed tho house on Wednesday to applaud Anderson. This matter will be laiado much of in the motion for anew trill.

That Methodist Cabinet.

To tho Editor of The Journal: You quote in your paper of yesterday Judge Davidson as saying: "He only compared the tribunal which sentenced Christ to the Methodist oabinet which sentenced Pefctit." Now if Judge Davidson did not know that no "Moth olist cabinet" has any jurisdiction to try or sentenoe any one, he did know that no "Methodist cabinet" had tried or sentenced Pettit." Strange that when it ijjust as cheap to be truthful, some men prefer to bo disingeueous. If Mr. Pettit had not availed himself of the alternative allowed himby the law of the church, *[231, and "withdrawn under complaints," the oabinet would have nominated "a select member" to be elected by the conference and thus clothed with authority to try and to sentenoe him. This the oabinet had a right to do, and it was its duty to so far investigate the rumors and statements against Pottit, as to deipde whether the case demanded the appointment of a court for its trial. Against this investigation as conducted even the "second Daniel come to judgement," who immortalized himself by his criticism of the State for not having Pettit present at the exhu mation and analysis of his wife's remains, could have taken no exception, for he knew what was going on, and was present by his counsel, and could have been in person if ho had wished. 1 undei stand it

Is He Mistaken?

George Boyland, of Garfield, who has taken oath that Fred Immel expressed an opinion of Pettit's guilt before serving cn the jury, offers to prove by several witnesses that Immel exclaimed in a crowd of several when hearing the rumors, "Why, that man ought to be hung." Joe Thomas, one of those witnesses, states that he himself made that remark upon the occasion referred to and not Mr, Immel, whom he says said nothing at all.

AN INTERVIEW.

MES. SHIELDS TALKS F&EELY OF PETTIT AND LITTLE D1NE.

She Thought Pettit Was Innocent Dutil a Short Time Before the Habeis Corpus. Little Dine Has Buen

Writing to Hor father But Will Do So No More.

Mrs. Shield's all during tbe ivial very wisely kept her sentiments to herself, but ct the Monon station Nov. 20 as sha started to West Monroe she talked freely of all matters to T'UE JOUKKAII reporter. "We expect to reach home Siturday night, my brother and I," she said, "in plenty of time for Thanksgiving, and a real Thanksgiving it will be, too."

She asked how Pettit was taking his sentenoe, and on being told that he was feeling badly and would not see anyone she said: "My brother and I thought seriously of going to the jail to see him. In fact we would have gone if they hadn't made a motion for t» new trial. But then I suppose he did not oare particularly to see us and we had nothing in particular to say to him."

Mrs. Shields was evidently in a talkative mood, and it required only a few questions to bring out what, in substance, follows: "I was never thoroughly convinced of the man's guilt until a short time before the habeas oorpus, athough I knew HattJe did not die of an accidental dose when stryohnine was found in suoh large quantities. I believed that Mrs. Whitehead liaddone it, and alone, but the rumors increased and it looked darker until I finally in the agony of doubt wrote Pettit, asking him in the name of heaven to denounce the woman and proclaim himself an honest man. I never heard a word from him iu roply to this, although he wrote to us regularly. It was then that, our worst suspicions ver ocnfimred,|and oh what agony we suffered. There were months when we hardly slept a night. Yes, the verdict pleases me vary much, even batter than hanging I believe. There is only one thing would add if it were in mv power,and that is that every year on July 11, taat convict should be taken to a dark solitary cell, there to remain seventy hours, the length of time my sister suffered. Let him be given bread and water, just enough to sustain life and there let remorse, if such a feeling exists in him do its work."

When told, and for the first time it seems, of the particulars in tho jury room she said she wished she could thank each one of them. "I had picked out Small and Conner as sure for conviction, but they all did uobly. And Mr. Anderson was grand. I had been led to anticipate a good deal from him but ho went far beyond my expectations. And oould anything have been more convincing than Mr. Haywoods plain but powerful opening statement and his opening argument. This tower of strength, too, (pointing to Col. Wilson who sat near,) also deserves a gref.t part of the glory. I ad mire Judge Snyder, but at times it did seom that his rulings were unfair to the State. However, as tho result is it is all the bettor." "Are you acquainted with Prof. A. Darling?" •'Yes," with a laugh, "I know him slightly. He is a crank of course, but it is a fact that he examined Pettit's head and predicted that ho would be a murderer. I remember the circumstance quite weil. It was in the store about 3 0 years ago. It made Pettit very angry but we all laughed at it." "Were any of Pettit's relatives here during the trial?" "No. he has quar reled with all of them and they ore not on speaking terms. It was only after his indictment that his mother and sister, who live in Oswego, made up with him. No, I oould tell you what they quarreled about, but I won't. It is unnecessary now but 1 do wish it could have got in the evidence. It would have explained some things away. Dr. Yoager received a letter from Oswego praising Pottit to the skies as a Christian and so forth,and it was signed 'Carrie Miller.' This remember, was aftor the indictment.

Now 'Carrie Miller' is no more nor less than Pettit's sister, a divorced woman using her husband's name. Tho choice language in which it whioh in was couched and its general style, lead me to believe it was was written by Pettit himself and merely copied by her." "What is little Dine going to do?" "She will stay with us," said Mrs.

Shields, aud her eyes brightening as she though of tho little girl who is evidently the idol of her heart. "It is wonderful what a perfect understanding thero is between her and Undo Bob (Mr. Shields). Ho seonis to think as much of her as ho does of our own fourteen year old daughter. Dino was 8 years old tho filth day of October and is so sweet mid bright. She knows nothing of hoi father's position and do not oven know that I am in Crawfordsville. IfJ^ho did that would oxeito her suspicion Every other wook regularly slio writes to hor father aud ho answers regularly. His letters aro just such as a preacher would write to his child. Occasionally he souds his love to "those who want it' but I can tell you a little of it

goeB

a

long way. He has sent us word through her letteis to take hor to Oswego to see her great grand parent as it is seldom a child gets to see hor ancestors so far baok, but we shall not do it and you may be sure that if any of his people ever oome to West Monroe they will not get past the door. His last letter to Dine told her to address him next time at Lafayette, not Crawfordsville, but I don't think she shall ever write him another. I have had her write to liim thus loug so that it oould not be said on the trial that I was prejudising her against him. But the estrangement must oome and I don't think it will be a hard matter. Even last summer when 1 spent four weeks in South Bend I found on returning that she had not written to her father all the time I was gone. There was a letter from him asking why she did not answer his letter. I asked her why she did not and the little thing said,,"

Why Aunt Laura,

you did not tell me to write while you were gone, and I forgot all about it? What shall I tell papa?" I told her to explain to him exaotly as she had to mo and she did so. If he his a heart it must have been out as with a knife when he read that letter. Aud when I oame out here it was the same way. She stopped writing to him until I wrote to her to continue. In all her letters there is no news of our family, you may be sure, but she tells him all about the weather, hor sohool aud play. Will she ever know of her father's disgrace? Not from my lips. If she lives long enough it may oome to her from outsiders in some way and then we will explain it. ail to her, but poor child, ever in her oase may not moan a groat while for she has not a strong constitution. "Supposing Pettit had been acquitted do you think ho would ivj oiauaoi Adiue?" "He might have done it, some of our friends have suggested, just for spite and then put her iu some orphan's asylum but I can hardly believe it. Ho knows ho oould make no home for hor and that she is better off whoro slis is." "Does she remember Shawnee Mound and tho people there?" "O, yes, perfootly. Sho has all hor dolls named aftor her young friends there and sha will take them visiting, in her play, to various members of tho family calling tliern after hor adult friends at Shawnee."

The train pulled iu and a most interesting interview was brought to l. close.

Echoes From tne fyttit Trial, Prosecutor Haywood has tho following to say to the Lafayette Courier concerning some athenians: "Gen. Lew Wallace author of "Bon Hur" was a daily attendance at the trial and long before the close believed Pettit a guilty man. Dr. Tuttle, whose extremely white looks are emblems of purity also spent much of his time there and way greatly taken with Mr. Anderson's speech.

Said Col. DeHart: "The verdict is only temporary. We rely on sufficient errors made in the Tippecanoe ocunty circuit court to send the case baok hero for trial when it oomes to the Supremo Court. I do not bolievo Pettit ever committod tho crime, for I have never detected a single untruth in him. Tho verdict thould have read: "Wo, the Jury, are in doubt as to Pettit's guilt and therefore sentence him to for life, feariug that we aro mistaken."

Lafayette Call: Tho attorneys for the defense in tho Pettit case, Messrs. Kuinley & Gaylord, It. P. DoHart and the Stuart Brothers, were in consultation this morning at the oflioe of the latter, arranging the preliminaries for a motion for anew trial in the celebrated case. They have been allowed thirty days in whioh to make the motion, but say they are satisfied they can be ready for tho argument inside of fifteen. They propose to fight the case to tho end, up to and through the Supreme Court, and express confidence that anew trial will be granted.
