French-Canadian Took French Leave—Creditors Stopped Effects.

A J. Maisoneuve, who came here several months ago from Kankakee to engage in the shoe repairing business, left town Saturday night, owing numerous bills, bills. From all evidence he was a very industrious young man and seemed to be doing a good business. By his industry gnd other seemingly good qualities, he had gained the confidence of a number of Rensselaer people and be bought over S2OO worth of furniture from D. M. Worland on the installment plan, paying a small sum down. That first payment was the only one he ever made. A few weeks ago his wife became ill and was taken to a hospital in Chicago, the expense of which required more money than he had on hand. He explained his situation to Conrad Kellner, and Kellner went his note for S3O at the State Bank. Mr. Worland, knowing of Maisonneuve’s hard luck, did not press him for payment but told him to take his time. It is understood also, that the shoemaker contracted a $24 debt with Simon Leopold, about sl3 to Dr. Hemphill for services, and also a drayage bill to E. Warne, and possibly numerous other small ones. -

_ Maisonneuve had told several people that he was going to remove to Kankakee shortly and that his father was going to start him in business. He secured the assistance of D. M. Worland Saturday and had his household goods placed in a car. Worland, of course, didn’t have anything to lose because the furniture was all his until the last payment was made, and he did not suspect any crookedness, but Maisonneuve had the car billed to Kankakee in Worland’s name so that none of his creditors could attach the goods. E. Warne, the drayman, who was a creditor of the shoemaker, noticed the way the car was billed and notified Worland and Conrafl Kellner. Mr. Wtorland said that the use of his name was unauthorized and ordered the furniture to be held. He telephoned to Kankakee last night and found that Maisonneuve bad left for Monon, from which place he telegraphed to Agent Beam this morning ordering his goods to be shipped to Kankakee. : -~T“ It was understood that he was coming here today to make a settlement but so far be has not been seen. Although he diid have a little hard luck, he was not justified in the course he took and further evidence to show that he was not worthy of the confidence placed in him is shown by his seeking advice from a local lawyer on how to proceed to get away from here without paying his debts or leaving his goods attached.

RAILROAD PROMOTOR WANTS PAY FOB WORK.

Bayard Taylor, Who Projected Line, Asks $68,006 For Fathering Ballroad Throsgh Keatland. The suit of Bayard Taylor, promotor, against Carroll C. Kent and Warren T. McCray, of Kentland, and tile Chicago, Indiana ft Southern Railway Co., is proving to be one of the most important legal battles tried in recent years to the Jasper circnit court and Judge Hanley is constantly appealed to by the attorneys to rule on the admission of certain records kept by Mr. Taylor. So far practically every ruling has been favorable to the plaintiff and the maps of his projected railroad, the accounts he kept of money expended for surveys, etc., and all the correspondence fie had with Messrs. Kent and McCray have been admitted ,to evidence. Up to noon today (Tuesday) the exhibits by the plaintiff numbered 43 and Reporter McFarland has a desk almost covered with documents. Some of the exhibits are copies, aB Mr. Taylor does not care to let the originals out of his possession. When Mr. Taylor arrived at the Makeever hotel Monday he asked to be shown to a room. When he saw it he objected because the lock was not sound and insisted on having an extra bolt This precaution was caused by fear that his records, which fill a suitcase and a grip, might be a temptation to some one and Mr. Taylor is taking no chances. Taylor is represented by Otto Gresham, son of Walter Q. Gresham, who was one of the. best known Hoosiers and republican politicians during the eighties, serving as postmaster-gener-al and secretary of the treasury as a republican and secretary of state under Cleveland, following hi| failure to receive the republican nomination for president. Mr. Gresham is assisted by Ted Cunningham, of Kentland. The defehse has Emory Sellers, of Monticello; William H. Darroch and Hume L. Sammons, of Kentland, and Howard T. Ballard, of Chicago.

Mr. Taylor engaged for several years prior to the spring 1903 in the promotion of a railroad, which he expected to secure capital to build and the route for which was not far removed from the route now traversed by the Indiana Harbor railroad, the correct name for which is the Chicago, Indiana ft Southern. The complaint tells of Mr. Taylor’s promotion of a paper railroad to be known as the Covington ft Southern. He completed a survey southward from West Lebanon and then decided to try to build It into Chicago and his scheme of promotion extended northward and passed a mile of two away from Kentland. He changed the name to the Chicago, Covington ft Southern and later to the Chicago, Terre Haute ft Southern. When the latter name was chosen the survey was changed to include the town of Kentland and Carroll C. Kent and Warren T. McCray, the former a large land owner and the latter associated with Mr. Taylor, and for some time the three had meetings at which the progress of the scheme of promotion was discussed. The next time the paper road changed names It became the Indiana Harbor Co. and still later the Indiana Harbor Railroad Co. When the latter name was adopted the company’s project was supposed to have been sold and the promoters were promised, so it is claimed by the defendants, the sum of SIO,OOO and several shares of stock in the road. At this juncture all operations seemed to stop and nothing more was heard of the railroad until a year or two'later when a road following the general line of the road Taylor had projected was built by the New York Central Co., who are supposed to have acquired the rights of the Indiana Harbor Railroad Co. The name of the Chicago, Indiana ft Southern Railroad was given the new road, although It commonly goes by the name of the Indiana Harbor road.

Mr. Taylor haa occupied the witness Btand since the beginning of the trial and his chief counsel, Mr. Gresham, and the attorneys for the defense have engaged in many a tilt in getting the evidence before the court and the record will show from two to a dozen objections to every .bit of .the evidence. Mr. Taylor has his records in good condition, having letters, telegrams, canceled checks, contracts ahd stub books all on band, and all of these have been admitted to evidence over the defendants’ objections. Mr. Taylor claimed on the witness stand that in the spring of 1903 be was encouraging Che subsidy elections on behalf of his road through Warren and Fountain counties and received a telegram calling him to Kentland, In consultation with Kent, McCray and Attorney Darroch. That he went to Kentland the next day and was told by the defendants that they proposed to sell out and he says McCray told him to cut out his sentiment and join with them. They said they would sell for little or nothing as they saw an opportunity for the railroad to be built and that was the only thing they desired and they were willing to get ont Mr. Taylor said that he asked $60,000 for Ur third interest, ssytog that they ought to got SI,OOO a mil* for the 180

miles of projected road. The defendants and the plaintiff looked at the sale in a different light Taylor had hoped to get something out of it and was not willing to sell unless he could do so. They could reach no agreement and Mr. Taylor went to Terre Haute and continued his work and whs next called to Chicago to consult with the defendants and the prospective purchasers. Mr. Taylor was determined to hold out for a large amount hut the defendants, according to him, were willing to dispose of the road for anything, what they claimed to want was the construction of the. road. An agreement was not reached for the sale at that time, it seems,, and another meeting occurred in Chicago, but Mr. Taylor as not at the conference with the buyer, Mr. Hotchkiss, McCray wrote Mr. Taylor a brief note before he left Chicago and another after he reached Kentland. In these he indicated that the sale terms had practically been agreed upon and stated that they were to receive stock for all money expended on right-of way, etc. In making his argument against the Admission of this evidence Mr. Sellers stated that Kent and MCCray were in no sense partners in the corporation. Attorney Gresham Baid “You are not on the witness stand, M r - Sellers.” A moment later, after Mr. Sellers had again stated that his clients were pot stockholders in the company, Attorney Gresham sprang to his feet and leveling his finger at Attorney Sellers said, “That is not so and YOU know it.” “Be careful,” replied Mr. Sellers, “I am not used to being called a liar.” Mr. Greßham started to reply; saying, “You are apt to be if ” Judge Hanley called Mr. Gresham to order and Mr. Sellers proceeded With his objection, which the court overruled. Sehyler C. Jones and John U. Wildasin, of Kentland, were called as witnesses for today, hut will hardly get to testify today. C. R. and I. R. Taylor, sons of the plaintiff, came from Chicago today, as also did Nelson Olson, but they could not be used as -witnesses and returned to Chicago tc return again tomorrow.
