COUPniOUSE NLWS p Trial of John Mackey Taker’ Up Before Spcial Judge Lutz Todav. JURY NOT SELECTEI At Press Time—Ed Tobir I Found Guilty of Assault I With Intent. Immediately upon the conclusion o'* the Ed Tobin trial, another important state case was taken up this morning in the circuit court before Special Judge Clark J. Lutz and a jury, being the case of John Mackey, who, with Ode McClish. co-defendant, was charged with conspiring to steal, and also with stealing, the sum of $515 from Edward Marshand, October 2. 1909, the affidavit having been made by Mr. Marschand. This is one of the several similar cases in which McClish, with others, was implicated, and for conviction in one of which McClish is now serving a sentence in the state's prison. Prosecutor Parrish is the state's attorney, and John Moran is conducting the defense. A motion filed Tuesday afternoon to quash the first count of the affidavit in which conspiracy to steal was charged, was this morning sustained, and this count was quashed. The motion to quash the second count, which charges McClish and Mackey with the actual stealing of the money, was overruled and the trial will be based upon this charge alone —that of actual stealing, as Mackey entered a plea of not guilty. In his defense, it is said Mackey will put up the plea that he also put up money with Marschand, and that he also lost his, McClish getting his along with that of Marschand. There seems to be great difficulty in finding a jury. The entire day was given over to this and at time of going to press, the selection of a jury had not yet been completed.

The case of the State of Indiana vs. Eli W. Steele, assault and battery, with intent to kill and murder, which was set for trial September 17th, was continued, being postponed until October 21st. Monroe State Bank vs. George E. Faille, on note, demand, $525. Affidavit of non-residency filed: notice ordered by publication, returnable first day of next term. W. A.

They were instructed to return a sealed verdict and this was reported into court at 9 o’clock this morning. Tobin was found guilty oc assault upon the person of Florence Counts, with criminal intent. The penalty is from two to twenty-one years’ imprisonment in state’s prison. A new trial will probably be asked. John C. Augsburger, guardian of John Beeler, filed inventory which was approved.
