In Memory of Mattie Spencer. "Blessed are they that die in the Lord for they shall rest from their labors and their works do follow them."

Mattie, eldest daughter of Sanford and Mary Spencer, born in Parke county, Nov. 26, 1870, and died Dec. 31, 1890, at her father's home in Sc ott township of typhiod fever,aged 20 years, one month and 5 days, just as the sun was setting behind the golden slope of the Western horizon. -The oil in the lamp of life of one that had been a comfort, a joy and an inspiration to a fathei, a mother and three sisters, burned low at the twilight of the evening of the old year and 20 minutes before 5 o'clock all that was lovely, noble, elevating and pure took its flight to that mansion that is prepared for the children of God. In her sickness of live long and weary weeks scorched with the most violent fever, she did not murmur or oomplain of her condition. But she was conscious that the end of life's journey was near and some two weeks before she died she said to her friends. "That 1 am so happy I have come home to die. I never did think I could be so happy,1' and through the remaining part of her siokneas she would at intervals express herself as being "so happy" what a consolation, what a joy to have such expressions from our loved ones as they leave us in this world of sorrow. And as we lay her lovely form in her casket, that lovely face presents to our vision a calm and restful smile as though she was holding sweet communion with her God. "As we live so shall we die." Her deportment in society wus that of a high and uoble character and nor companionship was an inspiration to those who gained it. As a daughter she was the ideal ol a fond father and mottier, as a sister her nature seemed to be lull of sunshine and would make any sacrifice for their happiness. Her smiles, kind words and cheerful disposition will be missed in the old home, and especially by her sister, Winnie, who was her constant companion, and the one who she had gave her heart and hand. And as the writer pens these lines his mind runs back to the time when he stood beside the grave of a precious mother. But wo mourn not as those that have no hope. "Dearest Mollio though hast loft us,

Hefe thy loss we desply feel. But t'is God that hath berel't us, He ean all our sorrows heal, V-

Yet again we hope to meet thee, *'i When the day of life has tied, Then in

PETTIT 8 MOTION fOR'ANEW TRIAL OF NO AVAIL.

He Mee.s the Decision Unflinchingly ana Is Confident of Obtaining A New Trial-

The eventful day arrived at lash when another important crisis in the Pettit trial was to occur. The court room was crowded on last Thursday in anticipation of ihe event but it was almost baif past ten before the central figure appeared ou tlie scene. He entered from the west door of the rear corridor, walked briskly across tlie court room between Judge Snyder and two prosecutors Hnywood and Anderson,and after greeting all of his attorneys with a hearty handshake took his seat among them. Judge Snyder then spoke as follows:

This is the case of the State of Indiana vs. Woi. F. Pettit. The day fixed for the passing upon the motion that has been filed for anew trial. I do not think that it would serve any gcod purpose for the court to enter into an elaborate argument of the questions presented in ruling upon this motion. It is sufficient to say that I have examined the questions which are of graat force and power. I feel that there was no error committed at the trial tlmt was calculated to prejudice the substantial rights of the defendant. The question as to theadruiss bility of the evidence contradicting the witness Switzer, has been argued at some length and with great force, but it seems to me it is purely collateral. It is true looking at the question from one standpoint, one would say, that he was actuated to make the remark by bad feeling or ill will for the defendant, but ccn be explained by giving the witness credit of having no ill will for the defendant. It seems to me that it oan. I have no doubt it has been the experience of a great many men in this court room that one for whom they had great sympathy got into trouble and your friends come to you and ask you what you think about the case. You are opportuned to go on the bond. Now you oan say to these friends, with perfect propriety without manifesting any ill will under the circumstances of the case. 'You would better keep out of it.' That would not signify any hostility toward the defendant at all, only from a knowledge of the facts it was not a safe thing to do. Now I think upon the same principle this statement of Switzer, admitting that it was made oan be attributed to some other oause other than that of hostility for the defendant. I am not required to pass upon the question as to whether it was or not.

There is one question that has given me considerable trouble and that is the ono in regard to the State's hypothetical question. I have considered the matter carefully and have reached the conclusion that it could not affect the defendant. I think the trial would have resulted the same with that out as in. If a little matter of that kind can over turn a case lasting six weeks there is no tolling when a law suit will end. But if I felt there had been any harm done on this account I would not hesitate to grant anew trial. If there was an error it was cured before the trial ended by certain things which I need notmention at this time. ||j||

Now as to the newly discovered evidence it is Certain that if the witness who says that Mrs. Pettit had been in taking arsenio had been present at the trial she could net have testified, the evidence not being competent.

There has been in my mind one strong reason for refusing anew trial, if no other. It was contended at the commencement of this trial, that the aotion of the Tippecanoe circuit court was of such a character that this court acquired no jurisdiction in the case that the Tippecanoe oircuit court sustained a motion to strike out part of the affidavit filed by the defendant. I expressed my opinion as to that at the time. I agree with the counsel that the Tippecanoe county court or no court has aright to strike out apart of an affidavit. If an affidavit contains a matter which the court is of the opinion ought not to go on the files of the court, the proper way to proce ,-d as I view it would be to not permit the affidavit to be placed on file until purged of the obnoxious matter. Iu other words a trial in a court that has no jurisdiction amounts to nothing to the defendant. He can not say, if he has had a trial wheie the court has no jurisdiction, that he was in jeopardy. The counsel seems to be very much in earnest in regard to this matter, and I can not say that there is no great reason for believing that they may be right in the proposition that the court has no jurisdiction and if that be true it is well enough that the matter be nettled before another trial for the same question would be in the record the second time. The court could grant a new trial and remand the case to Tippecanoe county, but I apprehend the court there would refuse to take any jurisdiction in

the case on the ground that there was an affidavit which entitled the defendant to a change of venue, and I see no way than to take the case to the Supreme Court. The motion for anew trial is overruled. 'ilie defense gave notice of exceptions to be liled and retired with their client for a few minutes. Upon returning they made a motion to arrest judgment which was overrule J. Then they objected to judgment being pronounced oo the ground that this court has no jurisdiction. This was also overruled and the usual exceptions followed. Judge Snyder then said: "Mr. Pettit, vou will please stand up. It is my duty to read to you the verdict of the jury, which is as follows:

Ws, the jury, tind the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree, as charged in the indictment, and that he be imprisoned in the State's prison dur inglife." GEORGE SMALL,

Foreman.

"1 will ask you to state whether you have any legal oause why judgment of the court shall not now be pronounced against you."

Pettit was standing behind his chair his hand resting upon its back. He looked straight into the eyes of Judge Suyder and said: "It would be utterly useless for me, Your Honor, to enter into any extensive talk of any reasons. I will simply say this I AM AN INNOCENT MAN."

During the first part of this short speech the man's voice was choked with emotion and it was with difficulty he made himself understood. But the last five words were ppoken firmly and the tones rang throughout the oourt room so that every one could hear. Judge Snyder then responded. "That was not the verdict of the jury which tried this case. I do not know whether they made a mistake or not. There was evidence before the jury upon which they were called to act. If they made a mistake it is to be regretted. I oan not say that they did myself. Ihe judgment of the court will be on the verdict, that you are guilty. of murder in the first degree as charged in the indictment, and that you be imprisoned in the Siate prison during life."

The defense was granted 60 days in whioh to get the transoript of the evidence ready for the Supreme court.

Immediately after the adjournment Pettit proceeded to the Y. M. C. A. barber shop and had his beard shaved oft'and his hair close clipped, but letting his mustache remain. 'I wish to circumvent the horse clippers at the Pen," said he with a laugh as his raven locks fell to the floor. At the jail he wad waited on by George Julian and Frank Sellenburg who settled up some business with him. Upon parting Pettit said, "Give my love to my friends out there, but the others I don't care about." Mr. Pettit said he had nothing to say and would jiot until the end was finally reached.
