It proved that the bride was ^nly 14 years old and her father had Whitecottou indicted for perjury. Courtney defended Whitecottou and secured his discharge from custody. Ross was to give Courtney a horse for dofending Whitecotion and was to deliver it at Crawfordsville as soon as tho case was settled. Whitecottou hus been discharged but Ross has forgotten to deliver the horse to Courtney. Mr. C. now wants the horse and wants it bad. —Lafayette Journal.

PETTIT'S NERVE.

IT G0E8 WITH HIM BEHIND THE PRISON BARS.

Dotails of His Trip to the Penitentiary and His Reception There-

"When will thoy take Pettit away?" has been the question of the hour. It was answered on Tuesday to a seleot few who happened at the Vandalia station. No one thought he would go that way, and so only those who had business there were present. Pettit completed all his preparations last evening and passed an easy night. On Tuesday one cf the Walkup cabmen called at the jail for some people who wanted to go to Darlington, and he gave a yell of astonishment when he saw Pettit coming out of the front door in charge of E. H, Cox and John Brothers. Pettit had given a cordial good-bye to all inside, thanking Sheriff McClaskey and wife heartily for their kind attention. To ail outward appearance he was unmoved, aud arriving at tho sta tion lie boarded the train with his custodians nnd a JOURNAL correspon lent so quietly that mauy who were present knew not that Pettit was ajywh«re near. His eil'oots weut north by the Monou this afternoon. His easy rock, ing chair and a small box of effects, which he will be allowed in the pen, lo Michigau City, his trunk to Lnfayetta where it will remain in the keeping oi friends. Before the passenger train pulled in Pettit stood iti the gent's waiting room quietly, but earnestly talking with his attorney, Jere West. When the whistle blew he bid a cheerful goodbye to all of his acquaintances, espec ially thanking Sheriff MoCluskey for his kind treatment and sending his best to Mrs. MoClaskey. He entered the smoking car in charge of Policeman Brothers and the two began a lively conversation which continued until their destination was reached. At Garfield Deputy Sheriff Cox got on. He will also accompany Pettit to Michigan City. Between Crawiorusvule and Colfax Pettit was the observed of all observers, the word haviug quickly passed around who he was. At Colfax also, during a short wait he was recognized by many, but between Colfax and Lafayette the indifference with whicii he was treated showed that his fellow passengers did not realize that a real live convict was aboard. Pettit's manner was never more cheerful. He was in fact the liveliest man on the train, and his hearty laugh could often be heard above the rattle of the train. He enjoyed a couple of cigars on the way up at Buck Brothers' expense. No hand cuffs were put on him, but Brothers has a pair and they will be used if thought necessary. It was at Pettit's request that Brothers accompany him. Buck is acquainted with Warden Murdock and the distinguished prisoner hopes to have a good word said for him. His baggage consists of a small satchel, a medium sized box and what seems to be a picture wrapped in a newspaper. He wanted to take a trunk at first but on being told it would be too large to go in his cell compromised on the box. On arriving at Lafayette tho party walked immediately to Arthur Stuart's office, Pettit speaking to various acquaintances on the way. There he met C. G. Longyear and his attorneys and closed the doors to all visitors. Pettit spent the entire morning in Stuart's office examining his letters and papers. Harry Lancaster and a few friends made short calls. Cox and Brothers were in the room all tho time and nothing was said which they did not hoar. Dinner wa* served for Pettit at the jail. After he had finished dinner Messrs. Cox and Brothers took Pettit around to see Harry Lancaster, his firm friend. While there a gentleman called, who said before leaving: "I am a Methodist, and as I believe in my religion I believe in your innocence, Mr. Pettit," To avoid the crowd which had collected at tho

Labr House, the party slipped up to tho Salem street station, but not to be disappointed the crowd filed on the train and rode up there. They were then rewarded with a sight of the distinguished traveler who obtained a seat in the smoker only aijer a determined effort. The mob then passed through the car one at a time so that everybody got a glimpse. One or two half drunken fellows made such remarks as "Mob him,"and "Blank, blank him, lie'll lose that mustache before long," but tho general feeling was one of curiosity. A number of women looked in from the outside. Through it all Pettit was entirely unconcerned and smoked his cigar as he conversed with Buck Brothers. 'llie word had gone up the road by wire that Pettit was on tho train and so a crowd was waiting at all the small stations. Jn spite of his shaved lace he was usually reoognized and several times he spoke to frieuds. Toward dark his cheerful demeanor seemed broken at times by lapses into sad meditation. As the train neared Otis he recalled the time he met his wife there in July, 1889. "Let mo see," he said mus­

ingly, "It was about July 12, 13, 14, 15—yes, July 14. "Yes, I still hear from Dine and expect to."

But he seemed very loth to talk about his own affiirs and would change the subject to railroads, the difference between Northern Indiana and Tippecanoe couuty farms aud such things. When told he could get off before reaching the station and get to tho prison by a quarter of a mile walk thus avoiding the crowd he at first expressed indifference but later decided that he did not oare to run the gauntlet of several hundred eyes. So at Prison Crossing the party alighted and the multitude at the station which had been expecting him for two evenings before were again disappointed. A brisk walk of ten minutes brought the prison »in sight and none walked lighter or more confidently than Mr. Pettit. The outer guard was passed and the party entered the guard room. Without any orders at all Pettit throw dowu bis packages, took off his hat, overcoat, coat and vest and emptied his pockets. An attendant then searched him aud during a moment delay while Deputy Cox was handing over the necessary p.vpers he said good-bye to his Cru.wfordsviile friends and shook their hands heartily. He was roughly ordered to full in, but notuuderstanding the guard looked at him. "Fail in, right behind that man," repeated the guard, pointing to a convict who had just returned from Indianapolis where he was used as a witness. The new recruit obeyed with alacrity and was taken to the •wash house, where after a thorough bath ho donned the stripes. He was then taken to tho barber's chair in the room where his mustache wis removed and his hair clipped closer. To a cell he went next to sleep or to meditate, who Knows. During all these operations he was calm and cool, never for an instant losing control of himself or seeming to be under any strain at all. THE JOURNAL reporter accompanied

Messrs. Cox aud Brothers out to the prison again next morning aud arrived during breakfast. Pettit had a seat near tho deputy warden's platform among the invalids and new men. He ate a hearty breakfast cf fat meat, baked potatoes, bread and coffee. After breakfast most of the convicts went to the shops, but Pettit came back to the cell room with the other raw reciiuts and the invalids. Not having been assigned to any regular wor he was set to sweeping out cells. He went to work with a vim and had cleaned out about .our cells, when a guard who was showing visitors around spoke up sharply, "Pettit, come here."

He left his broom and came to the guard with his hand behind him. He said he had spent a pleasant night and on a very slight suggestion from the guard hunted up the cell where he spent the night. It was number 57 on the first tier. He attempted to enter into some conversation with the guard who did not repulse him, but remained silent. After a few words more the visitors passed on and Pettit again took up his broom. Along about 8 o'clock he was brought into the guard room where he made a bundle of his clothes and sent them down to Harry Lancaster by Buck Brothers. He expects to uee them again when he gets anew trial. He then opened his box aud packages to show the contents to the guard. Besides the bowels, wash rags, soap, a mirror, comb, brush and other articles of toilet there was a small rug of brussels carpet, a big pillow and a large flexible covered Bible. As ha held these things up for inspection the guard approved nearly every time without examination. His rocking chair was also sent up by express and the 40 cents charges will be paid out of the §1.20 found in his pojkets. He inquired of the guard if a knife and fork would be furnisned him and on learning that they would he expressed satisfaction, saying he would not have to seud for them.

1

After a short consultation with Policeman Brothers Pettit bade good bye and shook hands for the 'ost time aud returned to his work of sweeping. Looking through the window from the guard room to tho cull room he was seen lightly swinging tho broom and as he turned the corner out of sight his face wore a smile the result of some remark lie had made to the convict in front of him.

Mr. Pettit said boi'ore he started that ho had made up his mind to be a good prisoner and he started out by informing himself as to what he would be allowed to take with him, from Saut Galey, a former guard. He also inquired of Buck Brothers what ho would be expected to do upon his arrival, and his demeanor this morning showed that he was doing his best to do the right thing. Deputy Warden Murdock said that he would be assigned to the chair contract, it being considered light work. One strange tiling about the box ho keeps under his cot was omitted above, and that is that on the inside of tho lid is pasted tho newspaper pictures of himself and wife. The guards when told of his unusual fortitude were confident that it would leave him when tho stripes went on. "We'll take the starch out of him,"

said one. "He will find that he is no better than anybody else here," said another. But it seems they have not done it yet.

The last time THE JOURNAL reporter saw William F. Pettit wits Wednesday morning about 8:15 o'clock and he had a smiie on his face.

The wonderful nerve displayed by this man is something that cannot, be explained by his guilt or iunocence. Both his friends and enemies use it as an argument. It must be explained by the great hope of ultimately becoming free and by the early training his father gave him which he says was never to whimper or complain at misfortune.

Pettit full of Hope.

Frankfort News: Ed Baker was down, to Crawfordsville, Saturday, and while there called at the jail, and had an extended taik with W. F. Pettit. He says that Pettit's manner is not that of a man doomed to couliuement for life, but that ho is in fair spirits and full of hope, expecting th.it beyond a doubt the Supreme court will reverse his case, aud he will come clear on anew trial. Public sentiment, it is said, has, siuce tiv.3 trial, taken a wonderful change in favor of Pettit. To a lady who called at the jail to see liin Saturday, the prisoner remarked on her withdrawal, that perhaps she would not find him there unless she oillod before Monday, intimating tlr.t he would go North at that tiuje. Pettit expects to hear Iron, tue Supreme court by the middle of June.

A Year In the Pen-

Louis Jones, colored, who stole the watch from Albert Cartmiller, appeared before Judge Snyder on Thursday and pleaded guilty. When asked by the court why he hid committed the crime he responded, "I was dead broke, boss, and the weather was cold." In consideration of his young aud fresh appearance, the young gc-utleman was given only a year in the Northern penitentiary.

CAT'VKKll.

Not Local But Coust.itlonal. Dr. Dio Lewis, the eminent Boston physician in a recent magazine article say»: "A radical error underlies nearly all medical treatment of catarrh. It Is not a diseuse of the man's nose It Is a disease of the man showing itself lu tho man's nose—a local exhibition of a constitutional trouble." Therefore, he argues, the use of snuff and other local applUat ons is wrong, and while they givo temporary relief, they really do more harm than good. Other leading authortles agree with Dr. Lewis. Heneo the only proper method of cure for catarrh is by taking a constutional remedy like Hood's Sarsaparilla, which reaching every patt of the body through the Dlood, does eliminate all impurities and make* tho '•hole roan healthier. It removes the cause of the trouble and restores the diseased membrane to the proper condition. That this is the practical lesult is proven by thousands of people who have been cured of catarrh by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla.
