SUED FOR SLANDER.

(Continued from third page.)

ia Darlington to Perry McManama for the sum of 88,000. Tho plaintiffs also introduced as evidence the record of a mortgage for 8900 held by John McCain and assigned to Perry McManama, Sept. 16, 1899. The mortgage was executed by F. P. Trottor and wife in 1898 to secure the payment of a note. The record was also quoted to show that the mortgage had been {satisfied Oct. 4, 1899, Plaintiff's attorneys eaid they proposed to show that the transaction was shady, that the $900 was not paid to McManamp., but to the defendant.

Perry McManama was called. He is the brother of defendant's wife. Owns 60 acres, on which there is a mortage of $600. Saw John McCain, May 1, 1899, but not on May 4. It was about May 8 when he eaw McCain next. On May 4 was on hiB farm. On May 1 John McCain and A. N. Cave came to the field where witness was planting corn. McCain said: "My wife and I are getting old. I have an enemy and I have come to deed you my property." The deed was made and I paid him $150. Deed was acknowledged then and there by Mr. and Mrs. McOain. Deed was prepared before thet]McCains and Cave. I was to have full possession of the farm next March.I rentsd it to my son-in-law but never did anything further to get full possession. Witness released the $900 in September but did not get any of the money. Neither did witness pay anything for the mortgage. Signed the release of the mortgage at the request of McOain, Trotter, and Cave at Darlington, Witness never had the note or mortgage in his possession. When this slander suit came up McCain got uneasy and witness told him if he was dissatisfied he would deed the property back. Last Saturday McCain and Cave came to witness and the property was "deeded back to McCain and witness received his 8150 back. The deed was all the time in possession of^gMcCain. Upon being shown the deed witness said he could not read or write. Plaintiff introduced as evidence the deed conveying the farm property from McManama back to McCain for a consideration of 86,000 and {another deed conveying property miDarlington from McMana ma tolMcCain for a consideration of 83,000.

Cross—McCain said all he wanted was a living out of the farm for the rest of his days.& Defendant did not say who his enemy was, but it was not a member of the Cox family. Witness was not allowed to say whether or not this enemy was Mrs. McGuire, cousin of the defendant. Deed was made May 1 and suit for slander was filed about May 8. Witness knew nothing of the trouble between McCain and Cox at the time the deed .was made.

Ira Cox was called. Is a brother to plaintiff. McCain told himlaBt winter that he-paid taxes on 816,000 worth of property.

Cross—The conversation occurred at witness' .house while defendant and George Buekirk were there.

James A.)Peterson is bookkeeper at the bank of (Darlington. Elder F. P. Trotter paid off this 8900 mortgage on his property by borrowing 8700 from the building association and executing a note for 8200 to John McOain. The 8700 was put on the bank books to the credit of McCain.

Thejplaintiffs rested here and the jury waa allowed a few minuteB for Btretching their bones.

The first, witness called for the defense was Isaac Larrick and it was the intention of the defendant to show by this witness that he had heard the BtorieB regarding Miss Cox before McCain referred to ithem. The prosecution entered vigorous protest to the introduction of such testimony and an extended wrangle followed, which had not ended*when the noon hour was reached. The teBtimony was not admitted, however.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Mrs. Anna Layton, of Darlington, a neighbor of the plaintiff, had heard of the BtorieB regarding Emily Cox prior to the complaint against McCain being filed. There was a general rumor that plaintiff had|had a baby some years ago.

CrosB—Itiwas Jcommon talk in the neighborhood. The people generally said so twenty-five years ago. Witness coulafnot name any one who had talked of it to her. The talk was revived again lastspring and the witness was told of it by Mrs. John Buskirk. Witness had never heard the rumor|mentioned in the interim, Last spring witness cleaned house for Mrs. Chestereon, Mrs. Kimler, Mrs. PetChesterson.-IMrs. Alice LaFoliette, and Mrs. JenniefPaddock. All of them talked about the case to witness and would say to her: "Do you know that Emily Cox's boy had come?" These conversations were, however, after the suit had been brought. Also talked with Mrs. «Shed Goodin. Mrs. John Buskirk",first spoke to witness of the rumor. Edith Mikels and Aunt Hannah Mikels, Jane Smith, and "everybody in Darlington" had spoken to wit­

ness of it. Witness cut the report of the scandal out of a Crawfordsville paper when it was published and pasted it in her scrap book, "And it's there yet," ^napped the witness triumphantly. Witness testified that Mrs. Buskirk told her that "the'Hamilton girl who works at Billy Lynch's had first told ii."

Mrs. Susan Durham is a Darlington dressmaker and has known Emily Cox for years. Witness had heard of the rumors regarding Miss Cox having gone away to Iowa to have a child. This rumor was started about thirty years ago. -x

Cross—First heard these rumors 28 years ago. Heard it off and on until this spring, when the talk was generally revived. Witness would rather lay her head down and have it chopped off than slander a neighbor. Never heard Emily Cox charged with an unchaste act or a wrong act except the one mentioned. Witness was first told of the rumors 28 years ago by her son, who is now dead. This spring the witness heard a number of persons speak of the scandal. She at first refused to give the names and had to be threatened by the court with a line before she finally divulged them. She fought the issue like a tartar, but finally melted into tears and named Mary Jenkins, Hannah Griest, and Anna Layton. Talked with Hannah Griest "a few weeks after the big snow." Witness' customers talked of the matter a great deal, "especially the old settlers."

Rachel Dittamore has lived in Darlington forty years ana has known Emily Cox all her life. Heard the rumor regarding Miss Cox. Heard this spring that "Emily's boy had come home,"

Ira Hlatt, of Darlington, had not heard previous to April 5, of a rumor regarding Miss Cox having had

a

child. The witness was asked if he had ever heard of the plaintiff having been unduely intimate with a Quaker preacher, but the court rulod the question out of order.

SilaB Hiatt, of Darlington, knows MIBS COX, and there waB a general rumor that she had had a child in Iowa.

Cross—This rumor was about 1880-1. Heard it reported occasionally from that time until last spring when it was reported that the child bad come back. John Hollingsworth, deceased, first told witness of rumor in 1880. Henry Pickett, also dead, told witness of it. Remembers no living man who spoke of it. Witness is on good terms with the Cox family and never had any trouble with them.

Samuel Musgrove lived near Darlington in the 70's. There was at that time a general rumor to the effect that Miss Cox bad gone to Iowa to get rid of a child. Heard the story this spring.

Cross—Witness could name no one who spoke to him of the matter in the 70's. J. O. Graham told witness this spring that he had heard McCain talking of it.

Enos Kendall, of Boone county, and knowB plaintiff. Witness is a Quaker, as iB the plaintiff. Witness knew Addison Coltrain about 1884. There was a rumor in the neighborhood then that MiBB Cox had been guilty of fornication with «aid Coltrain. It was attempted to show by this witness that Coltrain had been tried by the church on this charge and had been dismissed from the organization, but the court barred the evidence.
