fined four years for highway robbery at Logansport, swore that Wheaton had tried to “work” him. Wheaton wanted O’Keefe to go to Logansport, get a certain written statement from parties there, promising them a sum of money, and to step out with the statement without paying them. The witness was not allowed to swear what was in the paper that Wheaton wanted signed. It leaked out that the pajier was a declaration that ceitain parties knew nothing of Wheaton’s being connected with O’Neil’s murder. Wheaton said it was tQ hedge against false testimony that might be obtained for money. Frank Rowell, a policeman and jailer in the McLean county jail when Wheaton was imprisoned there, swore that in an interview at the jail Wheaton said to his wife: “You have not been a true wife to me; you have put the halter around my neck and did what you said you wouldn’t.” Also, that at Michigan City Wheaton told him his wife and Jim O'Neil put up a job to poison his coffee so they could marry. Sarah Jane Smith, mother of Mrs. Wheaton, swore that while visiting Wheaton she heard Wheaton say Jat breakfast, ns O’neil passed, “There’s the , now, and I’ll kill him.” I said, “No; whip him.” Mrs. Smith is from Logansport, and had lived in that city, Ken Hand, Rensselaer and Elkhart; in Watseka. Chats worth and Alton, 111. After the murder, when Mrs. Wheaton came, my daughter said: “You know you killed O’Neil,” and he said: “Yea, and I’ll kill you?” Henry Jones, cx-eity marshal of Normal, was present at the interview between Wheaton and wife, related by Rowell. Wheaton kissed his wife through the grating, and said: “That’s my first kiss through the bars; you will be the cause of putting the rope around my neck.” William Albertson, the convict who had talked with Wheaton at Michigan City, arrived to-day, and swore that Wheaton had said he killed O’Neil. The prosecution here closed its case. At 3p. m. the defense opened. They introduced a number of witnesses to show that it was a physical impossibility for Wheaton to have been present when O’Neil was murdered. Wheaton was put on the stand, and testified in a cool, collected and straightforward manner. He denied every accusation made against him, and on cross-examination was not contradictory in the least. \ A County-Seat War. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

A servant testified that Conkling told her to bring a crowd of people, as he had killed Haverstick. Mrs. Uhler was fashionably dressed and kept a handkerchief almost constantly to her eyes, which were red and swollen with weeping. Amid sobs she shid her name was Emma H. Uhler. She spoke so low that the coroner was obliged to repeat her answers to the jury. She was nervous and exhausted, Dr. Amidon, her physician, had to sit with one arm thrown over her shoulder to sustain her. She had lived with Haverstick since last May. She testified that she was compelled to leave her husband, after many quarrels, and when he would not let her in the house, she had consented to go with her brother to Reno, Neb., and on the afternoon of the tragedy talked with him in the presence of Haverstick. That evening ali three talked over the matter. Suddenly Haverstick threw off his coat, and seizing something, flung it at her brother. She rushed between and a shot was fired. Haverstick, she reluctantly admitted, had quarreled with her that evening and slapped her face, “but,” she added, “he didn’t mean to hurt me.” Conkling, in his own behalf, in detail told the story of his coming here to effect, if possible, a reconciliation between his sister and her husband, or to take her home with him. He detailed his failure in the first object and his conversations with his sister. They arranged that they were to go to Lebanon, Pa., see her children, and thence to Reno. On Monday evening, when he called on his sister, he found her crying, after a quarrel with Haverstick. Conkling’s story of the occurrence did not differ from that already published. The inquest was then closed, and Mrs. Uhler was. by her oam consent, taken to the office of her brother’s counsel, and thence to an uptown hotel. The jury found that Conkling had killed Haverstick by firing a pistol-shot, it “being fired under great provocation.” Bail was refused, and Conkling was recommitted to the Tombs. THE MILK WAR.

RELIABLE TESTIMONY. . Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 0, 1882. Hop Bitters Cos. I am 74 years old, have lived 34 years in Phildelphiu. and well known ainoug Germans. I have been troubled 12 years with a white swell-* ing on my right foot, aud getting worse every year, and very painful, and breaking out in hot weather. I consulted several doctors and they told me it was incurable, and I would have to take It with me in tho grave. Some time ago I lost my appetite, was costive, had headache and fever, in fact was very sick. I saw In the German Democrat that Hop Bitters was what I needed. I got a bottle, took it one week and was as wellagaiu as ever, and to my greatest surprise, right from the first, my swelling went down gradually aud I tailing another bottlo got * entirely well of it. The wife of ray neighbor had two such swellings on her legs aud three bottles cured her, I think this is a great triumph for your bitters. JOHN STOLL. No. 4 Young’s Alley, above Willow street.

I believe it to be all wrong and oven wicked for clergymen or other public men to be led into giving testimonials to quack doctors or patent medicines, but when a really meritorious article composed of valuable remedies known to all, and that all physians use and trust in daily, we should freely commend it. I therefore cheerfully and heartily commend Hop Bitters for the good they have done me and my friends firmly believing they have no equal for family uso. I will uot he without them. Rev. B. R , Washington, D. C. A good Baptist clergyman of Bergen, N. Y. f a , strong temperance man, suffered with kidney trouble, neuralgia and dizziness almost to blind- * ness, over two years after he was advised that Hop Bitters would cure him, because he was afraid of aud prejudiced against the word “bitters.” Since his euro he says none need fear, but trust in Hop Bitters.
