This declination is contained in a letter to a friend at Muncie. While again in New York the Hon. T. Taggart was again the center of attraction among many Tammany chieftains. Much attention was paid him and it is evident that he will cut quite a figure in this national campaign. Walter Wellman is awfully anxious to have Judge Alton B.

ARE STUCK Jury Seems Impossible in the Dunn Murder Case. Yesterday at 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon H. G. McDuffey of Eel River township, the last of the 100 veniremen summoned for jury service in the case of the state against Charles Dunn, was examined, challenged for cause and excused and the panel was not complete. Eleven men remained in the jury box, but' it is not known to anyone whether any of these will be accepted for service. As soon as the special venire of 100 had been exhausted the attorneys for the defense said that they were willing to proceed with the examination, calling men from the bystanders and the city. The attorneys for state objected to this and moved that the court order a special venire to appear at onoe. The defence took exception to this, but the court ordered that the jury commission draw a list of forty five men and that the sheriff summon them to appear by noon today. After ’all witnesses had been informed that they might go home and not return until Friday morning court was adjourned until 1:30 p. m. today.— Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette.

TO THE JURY McDonald Refuses to Take Witness Stand ■ I Supposed Murderer of Miss Sarah Schafer Should Soon Know His Fate. __ _____• BEDFORD, Ind.. May 25—As his fate is being placed in the hands of the jury, James McDonald, answering to the charge of slaying Sarah C. Schafer, is showing the effects of the strain. He was very nervous in court today and paced the ffocr of his cell a great deal last night. His attorneys would not permit any one to interview. The shite closed its rebuttal testimony this morning and the arguments b.igan this afternoon. Judge Wilson said he would not place a time limit on the argument. It is thought that the case will go to the jury tomorrow evening. The friends of MoDinald are criticising his attorneys for not placing him on the witness stand, and the best these friends are now expecting is a “hung” jury. Many people who have expressed belief in McDonald's innocence have, since He has been kept off the stand, become doubtful. Among those who have all along believed him guilty, there is some question as to whether the state has removed “all reasonable doubt.” Mrs. S. Acker, corner Eleventh and Monroe streets, has a few nice cabbage and tomato plants for sale. Call at once. 116-31 For Sale.—On south First street a six room house and lot.
