BRITTON GUILTY.
The Jury Finds That He Passed Forged Receipt and Raised Money On It.
The case of the state vs. Charlos E. Rritton, charged with raising money on a forged receipt tor supplies never delivered, went to the jury shortly before six o'clock last Friday and in forty minutes a verdict of guilty was returned, the jurymen being practically unanimous on the point from the first. Britton did not go on the stand himself and his attorneys fought for his case more on technicalities than on evidence. His punishment will be imprisonment for from two to fourteen years. He will ask a new trial, and failing in it will appeal to the supreme court.
ONE MORE VICTIM.
Taylor Shepherd, of New Koss, Lays His Swan Like Neck on the Block of Disfranchisement.
VOL. 54—NO. 7 ORAWFOllDSVILLE. INDIANA, FRIDAY FElttU ARY 15, 1901-TWE.LYH PAGES PART SKCONI)
Taylor Shepherd, of New Ross, came shuffling into the circuit court last Saturday with a disgusted scowl upon his classic mug and pleaded guilty to selling his vote to the Democratic party at the late election. Taylor was one of the gentlemen against whom information was filed last mouth, but by some very lively skipping and flitting he managed to elude arrest. Poor old Bud Barton chased him over the county until his tongue hung out so that he tripped on it, but Taylor was too acrobatic for the deputy. His surrender was voluntary and the statement he made to the court was likewise. He declared that although he pleaded guilty he had no recollection whatever of signing that receipt and that his prosecution tionable shame. Benjamin having of his inebriety.
was an untr.enThompson and taken advantage He further stated
that he had voted a part of the Democratic ticket but he would be unmentionably consigned if he ever did again. Furthermore it was his intention to slap the heads oil the shoulders of both Thompson and Benjamin as soon as he clapped eyes on them. Said he sweetly in conclusion: That durn Benjamin has had a ball and chain on him in Indianapolis and if that there Thompson had what is coming to him by rights he would be over there now with two balls and two chains.'-
Benjamin and Thompson tell the story somewhat differently. They say that Shepherd made several trips to get the dollar, but they did not care to fool with him as he was from an out township and could not be handled on election day. Finally, however, they gave him the money to get rid of him.

THEY PLEADED GUILTY
And Judge West Sent Them to the Reformatory With a Disfranchisement Clause.
lOd Koach and Charley Ellis, the delightful young gentlemen who burglarized Muhleisen's bar in the Ramsey house, were before Judge West last Friday and pleaded guilty to petit larceny. The court sentenced them to the JetTersonville reformatory for a term of from one to three years and disfranchised them for three years. While the lads may get out of prison before the next election they will not have the pleasure of votiug at so much per.
Mrs. Jane Benefiel.
Mrs. Jane Beneliel, who died on Tuesday night, Feb. nth, 1901, was born on .Tan. .'JO, 1S20, at Hamilton, Ohio, and was a daughter of Ezekiel McConnell, who came here in 1820 and settled on a farm south of the city where he resided a short time, and afterwards coming to this place, and was a justice of the peacj for several years. Mrs. Beneliel was one of a family of eight children, all of whom are now dead. She was married to James Harvey Beneliel on January 4, 1842, and they had three children, two girls and one boy. One daughter survives, Mrs. W. M. Scott, of this city. Her husband died in 18S7. Mrs. Beneliel united with the Presbyterian church at the age of fourteen years, and at the time of her death was a member of Center Presbyterian church. She lived a consistent Christian life and has now been received into that place where her Savior reigns and where the weary are at rest from their labors. Mrs. Beneliel was very attentive upon church services, being a regular attendant until her health failed. Her life was devoted to the welfare of others and her home was always open to the unfortunate and sorrowing, and she always made it a special duty and privilege to entertain the ministers. To tiie younger generation she may not be very well known, but to the older residents of our city she willalwaysbe remembered as a trood. kind Christian woman.
M. E. Clodfelter Replies.
Mr. Clodfelter has not yet seen fit to deny the statement of Mr. Benjamin that he (Clodfelter) would have prosecuted the floaters instead of defending them if Benjamin had given him a chance. Mr. Clodfeher's silence forces some to infer that those tears for his unfortunate clients were of the crocodile variety.
Since THE JOUKVAL, by the above item, has kindly opened its columns for me to speak further to the public in reference to the action taken by myself and partner in the defense of the unfortunate and humble citizens who were duped into signing receipts purporting to be for sale of their votes I cheerfully and with thanks accept the invitation. Every person charged with crime is under the constitution of the state and of the United States, presumed to be innocent until the contrary is shown beyond all reasonable doubt: the law also guarantees to every person charged with crime the right to be heard in person and by counsel. I have no apology to offer for engaging in the defense and myself and the firm to which I belong are willing to leave to those who heard the trial the right to judge the merits of the defense offered. I am also willing to leave to the judgment of the public the question as to whether or not Messrs. Thompson and Benjamin were working to obtain the hundred dollars reward provided for by the second section of the statute under which the prosecutions were waged It is admitted by Mr. Benjamin in his article that he and his associates were afraid that somebody else would get the reward offered for the corruption of the voters of this county and that therefore they hastened with all possible speed to commence the prosecution with a view to presenting their claims to the county for the reward. They were so careful about the matter that they even went into an agreement that
Benjamin should have one-third, Thompson a third and their attorney one-third of the amount recovered from the county. The cases were hurried through with the utmost speed and not to exceed one-half hour to the side was given for argument in any case. As to my.-elf and firm agreeing to prosecute any person charged with having sold his vote, we emphatically deny the charge and further say that we have uniformly given it as our opinion of law that no person who had induced another to sell or barter his vote could ever get a dollar or a cent from the county treasury. The law has always been that a person implicated in the commission of crime, or in inducing its commission con never by law recover pay for such services, and on all occasions and to every inquiry, we have given thi? as our opinion of the law.

A Democratic Opinion.
Covington Friend: The prosecution of floaters for selling their voteF, has gone bravely on at Crawfordsville, and thus far, all have been disfranchised who were indicted and brought before the court. The example set by Crawfordsville has been followed all over the state, and will be if made general, a partial remedy for the evil. If all the floaters were disfranchised in Indiana, the Democrats would have some show of carrying the state, as Republican raonuv would "cut no ice."
Sues the Midland.
George W. Powell, of New Ross, has sued the Midland railroad company for a sum upwards of $200. The Midland has the habit of not paying its employes promptly and is some times in arrears for months. The employes being poor men arc obliged to raise money some-1 how in order to live, so they soil their accounts against the road to those will-' ing to speculate on such doubtful paper, Mr. Powell bought a lot of it and being unable to got a settlement from tke
road has sued for the amount.

If THE JOURNAL would as earnestly exert itself in the suppression of vote buying as it has in the prosecution of the unfortunate persons inveigled into the signing of the receipts upon which their conviction was obtained it would be able to accomplish a great deal of good in the community and to the state at large. The man who buys his position in congress, or in any other office, is as much to be condomned, if not more, than the person without influence who sells his vote. Finis. •.
