ED NOT GUILTY.

Fred Eppert, William Tulley, George Roberts, Charles Miller, William Sourwine, the Murderers,

In Jail.

ROBERTS WEAKENS ASD COSFESSES.

Said They Intended to Kill Slieritl' Stout

and His Deputies—Their l'luns Miscarried.

Terre Haute Express: The theory advanced by the Express that Ed II olloway was in no way implicated in causing the terrible wreck atFontanet 011 the night of July 12th, has been vindicated and the investigation has forged a chain of evidence so tightly about the guilty parties that one of them, at least, has sought refuge in confession. George Roberts. Fred Hppert, William Tulley. Charles Miller and William Sourwine are in jail charged with the crime and Prosecutor Ilamill, who has been untiring in his efforts to get at the 'facts in the case, says lie has in his possession confessions and evidence which insure conviction.

George Roberts, who has been in jail since last Saturday, is the man who yesterday weakened, confessed and begged for mercy at the .hands of the prosecutor. He says that it was a result of a conspiracy, which miscarried inasmuch as thev did not intend to wreck the passenger train. They were incensed at the action of Sheriff Stout and his deputies for preventing them holding a freight train by pulling pins, and it was the officers whom they intended should suffer from their murderous plot. When confronted by Prosecutor Ilamill with evidence which Roberts could not disprove, Roberts said that he was guilty and that Miller, Eppart, Tulley and Sourwine were his co-conspiratox-s and accomplices.

He states that on the evening preceeding the wreck he and the other men in jail on the charge were engaged in stopping freight trains, assaulting men and pulling coupling pins so the train could not move from Fontanet that their actions against the railroad was prompted by their sympathy for the union railroad men who were on a strike, and their hatred for the non-union men who had taken their jobs. While they held possession of the train Sheriff Stout, with Deputies Fritz, Parish and Croson came to Fontanet and at the point of revolvers made them desist. This incensed the men against the officers and they resolved on revenge, even at the cost of human life. When the miners had been driven from the train, then sidetracked east of Fontanet it was found that the coupling pins had been thrown away and could not be found. The engineer then said he thought they could get pins at Coal Bluff, a station two miles east of Fontanet, and guarded by the sheriff and his deputies the train was backed to that point. After the freight train had backed out of Fontanet the wreckers held a consultation and, fearing the train would, on returning, run through Fontanet at such a high rate of speed that they could not board it and again pull the pins, they decided to throw the switch and wreck the train, let the result be what it would.

Roberts, Sourwine, Eppert and Tulley went to the switch, found it loeked and attempted to break the lock with an iron coupling pin. In this they failed as the lock was small and so fastened to the switch that they could not strike it squarely. They then remembered that Miller had been discharged from the Big Four road at the beginning, of the strike, but for some reason had kept a switch key. Roberts then hunted Miller, got the key, went back to the switchflag, accompanied by Miller, and gave the key to Sourwine. Sourwine without argumentor ceremony, unlocked the switch and threw lock and key into the weeds. The men did not remain together, but scattered about town while waiting for the crash which they thought would result in the death of the sheriffs and "scabs" and bring them sweet, though cruel revenge.

When the coal train had backed to Coal Bluff the men in charge of the freight began the search for pins, but were unable to find them before passenger train No. 7 was due. They then backed into the side track to allow the train to pass. It came on time, dashed by the crippled freight into the death dealing trap set for the freight train's destruction. The result has been printed and is sorrowfully remembered by the wretches who are now in

ORAWFORDSYILLE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1894.—TWELVE PAGES

jail to answer for a murder which is as cowardly in its design and liendish in its nature as any in the history of Vigo county crimes.

Prosecutor Ilamill, who has worked almost day and night 011 the case since the grand jury convened, is entitled to much public praise for his success. When the grand jury convened he ordered the body to work on the case, ind told them the investigation was to continue until the guilty parties were found if it took them to the end of the year. Notwithstanding that he has been repeatedly threatened by some of the rough element of Fontanet, who are in sympathy with the strikers, he has shown courage in calling every man before the grand jury whom he thought could give the slightest ray of light 011 the subject. The prosecutor says there is not the slightest probability of Ed llolloway's guilt and it is likely that he will be released within the next dav or two.

Douglass-M cCoy.

A beautiful home wedding occurred on Wednesday evening of last week at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. George W. McCoy, at Garlield, the occasion being the marriage of their daughter, RosuM., to Mr. llenry Douglass, a highly respected and industrious young farmer of Montgomery county. Precisely at S o'clock the bride and groom descended the stairway to the parlor, keeping time to the sweet strains of the wedding march played by Miss Fannie Doyle. Here in the presence of a large number of invited friends and relatives the beautiful marriage ceremony was performed by Rev. Wainscot, pastor of the Garfield Christian church. The bride was attired in a pale sky blue dress trimmed in white lace. The groom wore the conventional black. The parlor had been tastefully decorated with potted plants for the evening. Mr. and Mrs. Douglass as guests of honor then led the way to the dining room where such a bounteous repast was served as Mrs. McCoy knows how to prepare. During the evening the newly Mr. and Mrs. Douglass were the recipients of numerous and valuable presents and the hearty congratulations of the guests. On Thursday the newly wedded couple were entertained by the parents of the groom, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Douglass at their home, near Indian Ford. Mr. and Mrs. Douglass will make their home at present with Mr. and Mrs McCoy, Mr. Douglass having rented the farm of Mr. McCoy.

Mart lCernoodle's Murderer. Arthur Rogers, who killed Mart Kernoodle, formerly a barber of this city, was sentenced last week to five years' imprisonment. The Johnson county (Ark.) Herald says:

The people of this ^place and county were somewhat shocked at the verdict. Rogers has been raised here and of course has some sympathizing friends, but notwithstanding this at least twothirds of the people regarded the killing as a cold-blooded murder, and while thej' felt for Rogers they fully expected a punishment somewhat commensurate with the crime. Surely facts and evidence other than those brought out on the commitment trial were presented to the jury at Dardanelle, otherwise many citizens are compelled to view the verdict as a kind pf travesty on justice.

Struck Jury.

A special venire was struck last Saturday to try the Dudley Young will case which is set down for trial next Monday. The jury will be selected from the following: Daniel Easley, Percy Lough, Nathiel Blackford, Arch Bailey, Lawson Biddle, Isaac Dwiggins, John Henderson, M. D. Heath, Elston Sayers, John Small, Albert T. Thompson, of Wayne, and John L. Bienz, John W. McCardle, James W. Tribby, Wallace VV. Tiffany and Theo A. Templeton, of Coal Creek township.

Clint Makes a Killing.

Clint Iviff won first money in the free for all pace at Bloomfield last Fri day. This is the first "killing" Clint has made this season and his old time admirers will be duly gratified. Three heats had been paced, Clint having won the first two, when the race was declared finished and the §200 purse divided. 2:18 was the best time.

Accidentally Omitted.

In the list of appointments made by the United Brethren Conference at Lebanon the name of Rev. A. M. Snyder was accidentally omitted as published in

ITHK JOURNAL.

Mr. Snyder

was sent to Brook circuit. With this addition the list is correct.

JETT WAS BETRAYED.

Serious Charges HI ado Against Congressman Itrooicshli'o by Clay City Democrats.

A dispatch from Clay City to the Indianapolis Jimrnal says: Congressman Brookshire was given a cool reception last night. P. T. Jett, chairman of the Democratic township committee,would not attend the speaking. Neither would he distribute the bills announcing the meeting. With the ushering in of the Cleveland administration, Brookshire had pledged his support to Mr. Jett in his candidacy for postmaster. Soon after this Mr. Brookshire wrote a 'letter to one of the ring Democrats here stating that he had recommended the editor of the Clay City Sentinel. W. E. Nauglc, for the position and soon after wrote another letter stating that he had not made such recommendation. The scheme was to oust (!. E. Oberholtzer, the present postmaster, a stanch Democrat and the son of one of the wheel horses of the Democratic party of Clay county. As Brookshire has betrayed both Jett and Oberholtzer, it is not believed than any quantity of tall'y will be sufficient to close up the breach that has been made.

The New Drop Curtain.

"The isles of Grooee! The isles of Greooo! Wliero burning Sappho loved and sung1" Mr. Aneel Cook, the artist, has just completed the new drop curtain for Music Hall and it was presented to the public for the first time on Wednesday evening. The curtain is a work of art and reflects great credit on the skill of Mr. Cook who is not only an adept in his line but who is enough of an art connoisseur to select a fitting subject. His selection proved a most happy one, as he has reproduced Alma Tadema's famous painting "Sappho." It is a scene in Athens and represents Sappho and some of her ladies listening to the recitation of a youth with a lyre. The famous buildings of the famous city are seen in the distance and the entire effect has tone and polish. The coloring is magnificent and warms exquisitely under the gas light.

It Wasn't George.

The other day a smooth young man called at the house of Dan Clouser, north of the city and represented himself as the son of Wm. H. Durham, of Crawfordsville. He wanted, he said, to purchase some land in that section and needed Mr. Clouser's judgment. While inspecting the land a third man came up and offered to display his little card game. He did so and the fraudulent Durham quickly won a hundred dollars. He then advised Clouser to go against it but Mr. Clouser reads the newspapers and was on to the confederacy. lie made the swindler get up and dust.

Well Pleased.

Lafayette Journal: The U. R. K. of P. accompanied by the Lafayette military band returned from Crawfordsville at 12 o'clock last evening, the special coaches containing the Sir Knights and their ladies being coupled on a freight that arrived from the south at that hour. The visitors report having a splendid time and are loud in their praise of the genuine hospitality extended them during their stay in the "Hoosier Athens." The city was gaily decorated with Pythian colors, while the streets were thronged with visitors from far and near.

Things Came the Elder's Way. Good old Elder Vancleave had a gala day of it himself Thursday and fairly reveled in the sweets of matrimonial bliss. He hitched up the following couples for double harness trotting: Dale Petit and Mary Timmons, Samuel H. Keller and Susanah Fishpaugli, Frank li. Zener and Ella Services. Elder Vancleave had the satisfaction of officiating at the marriage of the grandmother of one of the parties married above. The bliss bestowing Elder has now joined in wedlock 784 couples.

They Have Parted.

Some time ago the announcement of the marriage of Miss Minnie Douglas to John Ailam, of Lebanon, caused considerable surprise. The announcement of their separation will now cause greater. Minnie has returned to the home of her parents in this city, being unable to get along with her husband. It is rumored that she will apply for a divorce.

AN EXPRESSION OF THANKS.

Deltayard I.odgc, No. :«), K. of I'., Grateful to All Who AnnlHtiMl in Making the Celebration a (Gratifying

SueceftH.

DeBayard Lodge, No. Hit, K. of P., desires to express its thankfulness to the citizens of Crawfordsville who contributed to the entertainment of its guests last week. The interest shown by so many in displaying the colors of the order was duly appreciated, and the handsome decorations with National and lv. of P. colors which greeted them on so many residences and business houses were objects of pleasure and pride, not only by the local Knights but by the visitors as well. To the city authorities. Mayor and police force they feel grateful for clearing the streets on the line of march and for their splendid management of the crowds. Not an accident occurred.

Company I of the 2(1 Reg. Ind. Mililia is also entitled its meed of praise. It acted as escort guard to Gen. Jas. K. Ross of the Indiana Brigade, Uniform Rank, K. of P., who is also Colonel of the 2d regiment to which it belongs.

The youths who played Indians and cowboys were rilsver surpassed outside a wild west show and were quite a feature of the entertainment. And the bicycle riders with their Japanese lanterns were a very material assistance to the entertainment of the peopie who crowded the streets and sidewalks Thursday evening. DeBayard Lodge feels that without the generosity and assistance of those who helped entertain their guests yesterday the success of the occasion would have been greatly marred.

Tlie Gils licit Electric Line.

A dispatch from Anderson to the Cincinnati Connncrclal-Uazetlc says: Manager Clodfelter, of the proposed Gas Belt Electric Line, running from Indianopolis to Marion, a distance of seventy-live miles, and touching a majority of the gas belt cities, states that he is progressing finely in securing the right of way. All of it has been secured in this county and approved by the Commissioners. Work has begun on the track near Alexandria, and it is the intention of the company to have the line in operation between Alexandria and Marion this fall. They have also applied for the franchise to run the line into this city. This has caused a stir in the local street railway company, and it is probable that a fight will be the result. Power houses will be built at Marion, Alexanderia, Anderson and Indianapolis.

Jtail Nests.

The disreputable dives near Sperry's bridge still continue to yield their daily crops of sin an disgrace. Good people now hesitate drive past them and the whole road rom the dives to town is getting a dec.aedly bail reputation. Sunday Dr. Gott. while driving to Oak Hill cemetery was surprised to find what he first supposed was a dead woman lying in the middle of the road. Examination, however, developed the fact that she was merely dead drunk, having fallen in the dust as she reeled along the highway from the noisome dens. Occurrences like this are getting to be entirely too common.

Mrs. Itogart's Bluff.

Mrs. Charles Bogart nee Toney, swallowed a bottle of laudnum Saturday night with the avowed intention of shuttling off this mortal coil and getting herself to that undiscovered COUDtry. Dr. Ensminger's timely arrival, however, prevented Mrs. Bogart from discovering, and he soon had her emptied out. She and the amiable Charles were honeying each other around in an hour after the tragedy and one would have supposed that the young lady had intentions for a prolonged sojourn in this vale of tears.

A Sad JUeatli.

Mrs. Rosa Miller, nee Bratton, the wife of Will Miller, died on Mouday at her home, on Milligan street. She was in the twentieth year of her age and a very excellent young lady, a member of the Missionary Baptist church. The funeral occurred Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock from the family residence, services by Revs. Fuson and Greene. Interment at Oak Hill cemetery.

The Old Indiana Midland.

The C. & S. E. Railway Co.—the old Indiana Midland—announces that through trains will be put on from Anderson to Brazil for the first time about the fifteenth of this month. They have opened the extension and inaugurated a cut rate on coal shipping from the "fields to Chicago and other points. They are working with the Big Four via Lebanon. The line is now 138 miles long.
