Ira McConnell Found Guilty of Assault With Intent to Kill His Wife and Son.
The trial of Ira McConnell, charged with deadly assault on his wife aud son, was fcejun Monday in the circuit court. On the date mentioned McConnell fired his revolver three times, so it is alleged, at his wife and fifteen-year-old son while they were in the barn, and they escaped only by taking refuge with the neighbors. McConnell was promptly arrested and has since been in jail. Some weeks ago Mrs. McConnell was granted a divorce.
A number of ladies from the neighborhood were present when the case was called last Monday and were interested spectators all day. Reeves & Jones represent the state and P. P. Mount the defense. Officers Jones and Doyle testified to arresting the defendant after the shooting and that he seemed sane and rational. Henry Hulet had been a close neighbor to McCocnell for ten years, and testified to his cruelty toward his family and that he was given to the use of morphine and whiskey. On cross examination Mr. Hulet stated that he had written to Mr. McConnell's brother eight year6 ago that Ira was "off" and needed attention. Fred McConnell, son of the defendant, testified to the occurrences on the night of the shooting and of the cruelty displayed by his father for years. He told a hard story, stating that Mrs. McConnell had been especially abused and threatened. He thought that his father had fired at her rather than at him.
Monday afternoon upon the conclusion of the testimony of Master Fred McConnell, his mother took the stand. She detailed the sufferings of her married life and testified to the many abuses she had been subjected to by the defendant who did not scruple to use violence toward her. Her story was a harrowing one and made a deep impression upon all who heard it.
Other witnesses testified to having seen McConnell use violence toward his wife. The neighbors gave evidence that for years he had shamefully misused his wife and children and that his acts were long the scandal of the neighborhood.
The evidence of the state clearly p.-oved that McConnell had for the past ten years led his family a life of suffering and terror that he was brutal and abusive when sober as well as when drunk and that whether sane or insane he was not the right sort of peron to be at large.
On Tuesdy the state rested and F. P. Mount made the opening statement for the defense. He spoke for over an hour and made an excellent presentation of his case. He paid a high tribute to the patience and forbearance of Mrs. McConnell, and declared that his client was not a responsible man that he had contracted a nervous disease while in the army and had become some years ago a mental and physical wreck. While it was only right that McConnell be confined in the asylum, it was wrong to consider the proposition of sending him to prison for acts for which he was not responsible. The defendant's brother from Dunkirk testified, and the deposition from another brother in Ohio set forth that McConnell had been regard-

ed as "off" for some years that his father was at one time insane and that he had an aunt who died in the asylum.
At 10:."10 o'clock McConnell himself took the stand and began to detail his army experience. He had evidently "been there for true" and stated that on one occasion he had carried the old flag for some distance amid a storm of grape shot and canister that fairly swept the field. Two men who were with him were killed at the same instant by a shell and thoir dead bodies fell over against him. A little further on some more dead ones dropped against him and finally he himself went down. When he come to ho was alone in the world. Ho dragged himself to an old house and lost consciousness just as some bloodhounds came up to destroy him. Fifteen days later he woke up on a hospital train. It was months before he gj)t out of the hospital and he has never been right since.
Outside of his war experience there was little of interest in the testimony of the defendant. He simply "told the story of a blighted life^I' He narrated his life at Wabash college and his career as surveyor of Montgomery county, but said nothing concerning his domestic difficulties. When he had concluded he was allowed to go without cross examination. Dr Samuel Irwin testified that he had been the physician of McConnell and that he was undoubtedly insane.
Dr. J. N. Taylor was of the impression that McConnell was deranged. His use of intoxicants had developed the hereditary tendencies.
Dr. Gott gave evidence that a man who acted as the defendant had done was insane.
When Dr. Gott left the stand the defense rested and the state called Dr. Keegan in rebuttal. A hypothetical question covering McConnell's case was put and the doctor stated thtft he thought the man was sane.
Dr. Swank took the stand and answered the state's question by stating that the suppositional man was sane but in answer to the hypothetical question of the defense he stated that he was insane.
The jury in the case of Ira McConnell, charged with deadly assault on his wife and son, Wednesday returned a verdict of guilty.
The evidence came to an end about half past three o'clock Tuesday after noon and it was decided that the arguments should be proceeded with at once to be concluded at an evening ses sion. Mr. Jones opened for the state and was followed by Mr. Mount for the defease. After supper Mr. Reeves closed for the state. Judge West instructed the jury which retired for deliberation shortly after eight o'clock. A ballot was taken immediately which resulted in a vote of eight
tQ
four for
convicfion. Progress was slow from this time on, and it was after eight o'clock next morning when the vote was finally unanimous for conviction. Over a dozen ballots were taken and the issues were thoroughly discussed. When court convened the jurors filed in and the verdict was read. It found McConnell guilty on the first count of the information and fixed his age at fifty-eight years. When the verdict was read the defendant sat with a look of indifference on his face and vouchsafed no remarks until on his way to the jail with Sheriff Canine and Turnkey Long. When on Washington street a short distance south of the jail he stopped and delivered a short- speech on what he declared was an unjust conviction. He described the shooting affair and standing on the sidewalk illustrated his talk with forceful gestures. He was especially severe on the witnesses for the state, and what he said regarding the members of tho G. A. R. and his neighbors wouldn't look well in a gentle family newspaper.
He has not yet been sentenced, but before he is Mr. Mount will ask a new trial and may appeal to the supreme court if it is refused.
The finish of Ira McConnell is almost a tragic one, and is far different from what his early life indicated. Ho has been convicted after a most able defense and will probably spend most, if not all of his declining days in prison. It is a sad but significant commentary that he has the least.* sympathy whero he is best known.

The building committee of tho Masonic Templo Association met with architect W.F.Sharpe Tuesday night at the office of the Citizens' national bank and carefully went over the plans for the temple. The result of the meeting was that no change whatever was made in the floor plans and very few were suggested for the second lloor. Mr. Sharpe was instructed to begin the work of developing the working drawings and the work will now be pressed forward as speedily as is consistent in such an underttiking.

Nervous Prostration.
A Noted Boston Woman Describes its Symptoms and Terrors.—Two Severe Cases Cured by Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

ADELE WILLIAMSON
I am so nervous! no one ever suffered as I do! There isn't a well inch in my body. I honestly believe my lungs are diseased, my chest pains me so, but I have no cough. I am so weak at my stomach, and have indigestion terribly, and palpitation o£ the heart am losing flesh and this headache and backache nearly kills me, and yesterday I had hysterics.
There is a weight in the lower part of my bowels, bearing down all tho time, with pains in my groins and thighs I can't sleep, walk, or sit, and blue oh goodness I am simply the most miserable of women."
This is a most vivid description of a woman suffering with nervous prostration, caused by inflammation or some other diseased condition of the womb.
No woman should allow herself to reach such a perfection of misery when there is no nsed of it. Read about Miss Williamson's case and how she was cured.
Two Bad Gases of Nervous Prostration Cured* "DEAR MRS. PINKIIAM I was suffering such tortures from nervous prostration that life was a burden. I could not sleep ai all, and was too weak to walk across the floor. My heart was affected so that often I could not lie down at all without almost suffocating. I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it worked like magic. I feel that your medicine lias been of inestimable benefit to me."

AN INCIDENT.
Gen. Wallace Tells of Mis First Meeting With his Stepmother In Crnwforcisvllle.
From an interview with Gen. Wallace on Mrs. Zerelda Wallace, published Wednesday, we clip tho following1: "When was about eight years of age my mother, Esther Tost Wallace, died, leaving three boys, William, Howard and myself. Our home had been broken up and we were in tho caro iof Mrs. Kerr, tho mother of the lute Senator Joseph K. McDonald. My brother, William, was sent to school at Crawfordsville, and I wont there soon afterward.
remember distinctly how astonished we all were when the stage from Indianapolis drove up one day and my father alighted with our new mother. We had known nothing of his intentions, and when wo wero summoned to the tavern kept by Maj. Kistine, a famous resort in that part of the country, [, at least, was inclined to be rebellious, and to have nothing to be with this mother that our father was giving us "We were not given time enough to wash our hands and to put on clean clothing, which probably had something to do with our rufiled feelings. Our stepmother was then very young, but she seemed to know exactly what to do under the circumstances and just how to talk to us. She showed infinite gentleness and tact and made us feel that she ,was interested in us for outown sikes. "By the time my father removed from Crawfordsville on his election to the governor's chair she had won our hearts completely. It was hard to call her mother at first, but she left us to ourselves in that, and it was not long before we were using the term easily and natural Iv
