Strong Charges Made In Final Stage of Frankfort Murder Case.

A. i i Frankfort, Ind., June 16. —Jesse E. Marshall, attorney for the state in the prosecution of Giles W. Trask for the killing of Mrs. Minerva Alice Jones, opened the argument of the case today. He said that Trask went to the Evans home for the purpose of killing the woman and alleged that he did not act in self-defense. “Mrs. Evans did not attack him with an ax/’ he said. “If she had done so that ax, which was found upright in a comer of the bedroom, would have been found on the floor. Mrs. Evians was killed in her own bedroom and not at a door when she was chasing Trask, as is alleged by the defense. Mrs. Evans did have something on Trask.” Mr. Marshall closed his argument at 11 o’clock and was followed by Thomas Ryan for the defense. He said that Trask went to the Evans home for the purpose of effecting a compromise and that he was assaulted by Mrs. Evans and that he killed her. It is expected that the argument will be concluded tomorrow afternoon and that the case will be put' in the hands of the jury by tomorrow evening. Three forms of verdict, one charging second degree murder, another manslaughter and a third of not guilty, will be given the jury.

PHYSICIAN CHARGED WITH PATIENT’S DEATH

Dr. Nellie Green, of Fowler, Charged With Causing Death of Mrs. Robert Jones. The death of Mrs. Robert Jones of Benton county has caused a sensation among the people of that community. The circumstances surrounding her death were related in The Republican a few days ago. In the last few hours of her death Dr. Clayton, of Fowler, wais called and later J. G. Kinneman, of Goodlamk was called in as consulting physician. After an examination the two decided that the patient was suffering from septic peritonitis, caused by criminal abortion, and that she had but a very short time to live. The dying woman then signed a confession, attested by Drs. Clayton and Kihneman and two others, that her condition was the result of an abortion performed by Dr. .Nellie 'Green, of Fowler. Details were given in the confession as to the character of the treatment, in which instruments were used, and claiming that ithey “were too poor to have children,” and that the amount paid for the operation was five dollars. Dr. Clayton refused to issue a death certificate. The coroner returned a leath verdict of “dearth from septic peritonitis, caused by criminal abortion.” Dr. Green is said to have expressed her wish for a grand jury investigation, and says that she is entirely innocent of the charge. ,

MEXICANS CONTINUE TO CAUSE TROUBLE

Commander of Northern Mexican Army Warns Pershing Not to " Move in Any Direction. i Chihuahua City, Mex., June .6. Gen. Jacinto Trevino, commanding the Carranza army of the north, today addressed Gen. J. J. Pershing, American expeditionary commander, that any movement of American troops from their present lines to the south, east or west, would be considered a hostile act and a signal to commence warfare. General Trevino acted upon specific instructions from Carranza. Washington, June 16.—There were no indications here tonight that the administration’s determination to continue the campaign against bandits in Mexico would in any way be altered by General Trevino’s reported threat to begin hostilities if the American troops move from their present positions in any direction except toward the border. General Pershing’s orders authorize him to move in any direction he finds necessary to his purpose. In the absence of Secretary Baker, who is in St. Louis, no official would predict whether these orders would be changed, but the general impression prevailed that they would not be. There is no fear of an immediate clash, however, for officials believe General Pershing would avoid taking any step that might lead to. serious consequences until he had communicated with Washington. Late tonight the war department had no word from him or from any other source to confirm the report of Trevino’s action. Recent troop movements in Chihuahua state have led officials here to fear that the de facto commanders were preparing for some hostile move.

The following article concerning an automobile thief by the name of Collins, appeared in The Indianapolis Star. This man who gives his name as James H. Collins may be the same man who was held here and gave his name as Richard C. Collins. Collins was released from jail here by habeas corpus proceedings. Following is the article from the Star: “The case of James H. Collins, 22 years old, of Cincinnati, 0., charged with vagrancy and the unlawful possession of an automobile, was continued until next Tuesday by Judge Deery in Police Court yesterday. Collins was arrested early yesterday morning by Sergt. Johnson and Patrolmen Brickley and Bright after an exciting pursuit of half a mile on West Sixteenth street. Collins was seen by the police near a large automobile that was standing on West Sixteenth street, near Missouri street. He ran west on Sixteenth street when he saw the police and was chased across the canal before he was captured. The automobile was brought to police headquarters, where it was later identified as the property of R. R. Bunch, of this place. The police believe Collins has a record as an auto thief.”

HUGHES WANTS TO FORM UNION

Desire For Harmony Theme For Several Conferences—May Choose Progressive For Chairman. Charles E. Hughes, weary from a week of strenuous political activity in New York, returned to Washington for the week end. He retired immediately before hearing of George W. Perkins’ announcement regarding negotiations between the republicans and progressives. The nominee’s apparent desire to bring progressives and republicans into accord is understood to have been the theme of discussion in several conferences in New’ York between Mr. Hughes and several of the progressive leaders. To other callers the nominee has voiced the sentiment that the interests of progressives and republicans demand that the differences should be subordinated and harmony restored before the actual work of the_campaign is begun. The desirability of bringing the progressive party under the republican standard again was discussed also, it is understood, in the long conference of last week between Mr. Hughes and W. Murray Crane, chairman of the republican national subcommittee on organization, who it is said in turn-conferred with other party leaders on the subject. None of the nominee’s callers would authorize the statement that such a movement was on foot but indications have not been lacking that peace overtures were imminent. ■**»*--,
