THE BANKERT MURDER CISE.
WA JH &'
Intense Interest Shown. Defender? ant Perfectly
Calm
and Cool
f\' V\ This far, the state seems to fbave made but little headway in
H* effort to convict Mrs. Wesley Bankert of Rush county for the .. murder of David Cook, a hired 1 band. Monday and yesterday
the defendant submitted to the severest direct and cross exam illation.
The defendant, Mrs. Bankert,
seems to be a woman of remark able self control, for notwith Standing the fact that volley after volly of questions were showered upon her b3r both prosecution and the defense she submit"ted without an apparent tremor to the terrible ordeal. Coldly and dispassionately she told of her acquaintance with Cook always stoutly contending-that it
was merely that of a mistress of a home to a temporary sojouraer of inferior rank. She admitted she had ridden with him in the buggy several times, and sometimes for long distances, but she insisted that there was nothiug improper about the matter for Cook happened want to go to town when she did and that it is not uncommon for a hired hand to ask the wife of his employer to permit him to ride with her if he be going his way.
When shown the blood stained weapons not a quiver was shown in her voice but cooly and calmly and with perfect self-posses-sion she declared they were the revolvers with which the killing hadjbeen done.
Without blush upon her cheeks she idenified certian letters as the ones she had written to Cook butpresistently defended herself from any evil intent ions in connection with these letters or as shown by them.
When she left the stand Monday after five hours of the most merciless questioning it is said she showed signs of weariness and turned her back to the audience. When requested to turn around and meet a friend she ddclined to do so, saying the audience was looking at her with a stare.
The testimouy is so rank that the judge expelled all the women spectators from the court r©om, a proceedure highly complimented by all the best citizens of Rushville as well as by the ministers of the gospel of that place. The case is a remarkable one and is unique in many of its featnres.
To the West.
Ollie T. Richey, Superintendent of the County Infirmary is contemplating on an extended trip to the west in the near future. He will spend some time in Colorado. It is not definitely .known as yet, whether Ollie will invest in the gold mines, but the presumption is that if he finds any big chunks of gold lying about, he will not throw them at the birds. He will doubtless become fascinated by the wonderful scenery that abounds everywhere among the
Rocky Mountains, and will declare that it beats anything he ever seen before.
David B. Hill in Court.
Albany, N. Y., Oct. 1.—The final effort to save Albert T. Patrick, condemned to die for the murder of William Marsh Rice, .will be made before ttie State Court of Appeals tomorrow. Ex-Senator David B. Hill will address the court in Patrick's behalf in an effort to obtain a reargument of the appeal recently decided against him by the court by a vote of four to three The motion for reargument will be opposed on behalf of the people by Assistant Attorney Gains of New York.
PhenwidE
Birthday Party.

The even ing was spent by playing games of all kinds and between the games refreshments were served. Those present were Misses Maud Parson, Ester Parson, Lucy Reece, Lena Reece, and Nellie Sullivan, Masters Annan Stephens, Herato Bobblet Howard Macy, Henry Todd and Georee Todd.
May Purchase Books.
According to the opinion of Supt. Fassett A. Cotton, rendered at the meeting of the township ^trustees of Grant county yesterday, the trustees have the same right to purchase reading circle books for the pupils of the schools as they have to purchase any other school supplies. The question was brought up from Kosciusko county, where the Graves company who were investigating the books of the county, held that the purchase of reading circle books was illegal.
Married.
Geo. O. Tague and Annie M. Hulbig were married at the home of the bride in the westtern portion of the city. Miss Hulbig is a most lovly young lady and has a host of friends in this city. Her husband will find that he has caught a first prize. The wedding occurred Tuesday evening. The ceremony was performed by Rev. George C. Wetting, pastor of the Presbyterian church.

Does Politeness Pay?
A gentleman living in this city relates an incident which caused him to ask himself this question. He noticed two men just ready to board a well filled street car headed west. One was a young man carrying three heavy grips, the other was an elderly gentleman. Noticing that the grips seemed to make a heavy load the old man stepped aside and told the young man to go ahead of him which he did. When the old man entered the car he found every seat taken. The man to whom he had showed such courtesy had placed two of his grips on one end of the seat and seated himself on the other and did not offer to remove the grips to make room for his benefactor until the latter requested him to do so. This made our informant wonder whether, after all, the average person to whom courtesy is shown is sufficiently intelligent to appreciate such favors.
