JUDGMENT ENTERED No Appeal Prayed—Motion for a New Trial Was Argued and Overruled Portland. Ind.. March 14— (Special Ito Democrat)—At one o’clock this afternoon Attorney R. H. Hartford, argued a motion for a new trial in the case of Ed Green vs. D .D. Coffee, mayor of Decatur, Impeachment proceedings. This procedure was set for this morning but was'delayed on account of a criminal case in progress. Judge LaFoiiette listened attentively to the argument of the attorneys and then overruled the motion and rendered judgment on the verdict which found Mr. Coffee guilty on the first count of the complaint. He then entered such a record, ordering Mr. Coffee’s removal from office. Up to this hour (two o'clock p. m.) no appeal to a higher court had beeu prayed. In giving his decision on the motion for a new trial the court stated speclfleallv that the verdict as returned found for Mr. Coffee oa four of the counts, but against him on the first and that under the law his only course was to remove him.

Portland. Ind . March 12.—(Special) —The jury in the Coffee impeachment case returned a sealed verdict at 11:30 o’clock last evening and it was read in open court at a few minutes before nine o'clock this morning. It read: "We. the jury, find the wefendint guilty." No further action was taken at this time.

The verdict was received here with more or less surprise, opinion being divided as to what the result would he. It Is probable that a new trial will be asked and if refused an appeal may be prayed, though attorneys for Mr. Coffee refused at this time to make any statement as to what their future action will be. Under the law according to the opinion of lawyers. C. O. France, present city clerk, will become acting mayor for the present at least, assuming office as soon as Judge LaFoiiette renders judgment on the verdict. In case he refuses to grant a new trial Whether he will continue to serve and a new clerk be appointed or will resign as mayor and continue as clerk, allowing the appointment or election of a new mayor are events that only the future can decide. The fact is that the law is new and just what course of procedure Is necessary does not seem to be clear. Should Mrt Coffee appeal the case, the general opinion among the lawyers seems to be that he would surrender his office, but in case he should win out in the higher cout. he would draw the salary. In case Judge LaFoiiette refuses a new trial he will render judgment on the verdict and order Mayor Coffee’s removal from office.

Portland, Ind., March 12. —(Special) —Mayor Coffee completed ins evidence at about 3:45 yesterday afternoon. He made a good witness in his own behalf, and upon cross examination could not be shaken in the least. H. S. Porter and C. S. Niblick were then used in relation to the fact that they had never seen the defendant intoxicated and that they saw him frequently. This closed the case and the court then granted the attorneys two hours on each side for argument. DeVoss led off for the state and made a. forcible address, he being followed by Dick Hartford for the defense, who plead eloquently in behalf of his client. Whipple followed for the prosecution, he making a very strong argument and kept well within the scope of the evidence. D. D. Heller followed and for one hour he plead as only a human being could plead for afellow man and his argument was considered one of the best ever heard in Jay county. Shafer Peterson then spoke for twenty minutes and his argument was good. C. J. Lutz closed the ease with a fifty minute talk and during that time reviewed the evidence in an excellent manner and made a great argument for the sta*e. The court then gave his instructions, which were fair to both sides and at ten o’clock the jury retired to their room to deliberate upon their verdict.

The furnace factory is operating at full blast with a goodly number of men on the pay Toll. MT. Srufth, manager of this concern, has landed several good future orders and' this summer will be a busy time for this institution.

They were purchased by Mr. Coleman, of Winchester, who sent his men to take charge of them yesterday. They will go to Portland this evening and proceed to their destination tomorrow. —Biuffton News.

A DECIDED CHANGE In Laws Regarding Engagements and Matrimony in Catholic Church After Easter Decatur Catholics who marry will he governed by the new laws regulating marriages issued by Pope Pius X. Some radical changes are announced regarding engagements as well as marriages. Under the new law an engagement wili not be regarded by th e church as binding, unless it be a written agree ment, witnessed by the parish pries, o.- two witnesses. The most drastic change is that which makes invalid marriages before a civil magistrate or minister, where one or both parties to the contract are Catholic. Under the old law such marriages were valid. The rules are as follows:

1. Every matrimonial 'engagement after Easter must be in writing, although there is no necessity nor obligation to enter into a formal engagement before marriage, 2. In the eyes of the church and before God, private betrothal after Easter between Catholic parties, or between fallen-away Catholics, begets no matrimonial obligation whatever, because the church decrees that every pre-nuptial contract is void unless it is written and duly attested.

3. Parties wishing to become engaged must sign the pre-nuptial contract. and have the bishop or their pastor witness it. In the absence of the bishop or priest, two witnesses must sign the engagement. If one or both of those to be engaged, cannot write, this should be noted and three lay witnesses must sign the engagement in the absence of the bishop or the parish priest. 4. These engagements should be pneouraged. If made some months before marriage, they will help to stop hasty alliances, which are the cause of so many divorces outside the church and of so many unhappy marriages among Catholics. 5. Protestants and all who have never been baptized in the Catholic faith are not subject to this law, hence their private contracts bind for the simple reason that the church has not made these conditions under which they mu6t enter into an engagement. 6. All fallen-away Catholics whether they have become Protestants or infidels, are bound by the law. The church, like the state, can bind her refractory subjects. The rules governing marriages are as follows:

1. Every bishop or vicar general or administrator of a diocese can validly marry in his own diocese any parties, irrespective of the country or place whence they come. The bishop can delegate any priest to do the same. 2. The bishop outside his diocese, and the pastor outside the limits of his parish, cannot validly marry their own or other subjects without due authorization. 3. Marriage before a priest who is suspended or excommunicated by name will be no marriage at all. 4. Marriage of all Catholics (both parties Catholics) before a minister or civil magistrate will be no marriage at all. unless the holy see makes a special law for the United States. 6. Marriages of a Protestant to a Protestant, provided they were never baptized in the Catholic church, is valid. 7. Marriage of a non-baptized man to a non-baptized woman is valid as a lifelong contract. These parties do not receive, however, the sacrament of matrimony. 8. If for an entire month, parties cannot secure bishop, parish priest, or any priest appointed by either of two witnesses, there is no marriage if there be not two witnesses, declare their consent to marry. They are then in the eyes of the church and' before God married. As soon after the marriage as possible they should send their names to the parish priest for registration and do whatever is required to have their marriage legally recognized by the state. o— Messrs. Charles and Fred Rulten fier, William Drake, Charles Schroeder, and th e Hockmeyer brothers left yesterday for Parmer county, Texas, where they will look after the purchase of some land.
