Coffin and Percival B. Coffin, officials of the Indianapolis Cabinet company, shall do service as convicts for their part in the ruin of the Indianapolis National bank. There are expressions of regret that Mr. Reed should be a party to the punishment. This sympathy, not infrequently mentioned, is on account of a belief that he was simply the tool of

and this is accepted as evidence that he regards the senior defendant as the responsible man. The prisoners were given into the custody of Marshal Hawkins, being instructed to be present in court on next Monday, and two hours later they were released, having given the required surety, William E. Coffin of New York, Daniel W. Marmon, William E. Kurtz, John Roberts and Joseph R. Perry becoming the bondsmen. Jurymen in discussing their verdict do not hesitate to express their conviction that the crime of the defendants was a monster piece of rascality, and that in addition to the punishment of the defendants they have given a warning to persons who would attempt to conduct an extensive business with other people's
money.

the strike in tins locality is the persistence with which miners interrupted the shipment of coal. Every train is in- ; spected. and the rose of shipping coal in boxcars has been discovered. This makes the miners all the more alert, and whenever a car containing coal is found it is promptly sidetracked. In one instance the men boarded a train which was trying to run the gauntlet, set the brakes, inspected the cars, set off those containing the black diamonds and then per-
muted the train to proceed.
Word comes from Terre Haute that the operators are getting tired of this proceeding and will either apply to the ; governor for troops or ask the federal , , court for a restraining order under the interstate law. Just what step they will | take is undecided, but something is in ;

This one, James Goode, stood out for several hours for acquittal, arguing that Reed had not been a beneficiary by the crookedness which depleted the bank’s vaults and that the minimum penalty of five years was too much to inttict.

IlrfrinlHiitH In the Courtroom. The federal courtroom was crowded to the doors when the jury filed in to report its verdict. Frank Coffin sat beside a fable to the front of Judge Baker, his elbow resting upon it and his chin reclining upon his hand. He looked more like he had been spending a period of great anxiety than at any time during the trial, giving little evidence of a hope of a verdict of acquittal. Behind him sat William E. Coffin, a brother who is in the banking business in New York, and to the rear of this gentleman sat Percival B. Coffin, who all along has shown least signs of interest. He was but slightly changed in demeanor, but the close observer could trace lines of worry and dejectment as his countenance changed during preliminaries. At the end of the table, 12 feet from the judge's bench, Defendant Reed occupied a chair, both elbows resting upon the table and his head buried in his hands. He looked the picture of woe. About these central characters in the great case were grouped the attorneys when the verdict was passed to Clerk Noble C.
Butler.
Keailing of the Verdict*
Mr. Butler handed the verdict to Judge Baker, who opened the envelope with trembling fingers, glanced over its contents and passed it back to the clerk of the court. Every eye was turned toward him and an oppressive silence settled ' over the courtroom. Frank Coffin did not change position or expression as the word “guilty'' was pronounced. Percival Coffin leaned forward in his chair, toyed with a newspaper, turned slightly pale and settled back in his seat, anil then smiled when his brother William made a whispered remark to him a moment later. Albert Reed by a heroic effort faced the court as the reading proceeded, but the ordeal through which he was passing was apparent as he chewed nervously at something in his mouth, bit his lip and succeeded in suppressing the suspicion of a tear which glistened in his eye. His son, who sat beside him, whispered a word of encouragement to which the downhearted father could only reply
with 4 nod.
There was a hum of comment in the room, but it ceased as Judge Baker turned toward the jury. Everybody was .intent on hearing what he should say, and he thus addressed the men who had
returned the verdict:

Later the sheriff and posse attacked the miners, who scattered at the first fire. Obstructions were removed, but when the train started to pull out it was found that pins and links had been stolen. The attempt to move the train
had to be abandoned.

was to some extent true that the more recent contracts were based on the earlier contracts, when the cost of the plant was considered in making the price for armor. Captain Sampson negatived the charges that bolts and screws of defective sizes and shapes had been used in securing armor plate. IIHEI'KINKIDGE DONE FOR.
