The case is attracting unusual atteo tion, owing to the seriousness of the charge and the prominence of the accused. The court-room was crowded to its utmost capacity, both floor and gallery. The trial bids fair to continue for several days.

A Recount Granted. Special to the lndianauoUi Jounn. Terre Haute, Nov. 23.—Judge Mack, of the Vico Circuit Court, this mornine granted the petition of Decatur Downing for a recount of the votes cast in this county for joint Representative for the district of Vermillion, Vigo and Sullivan counties.

The recount, however, could do Biothine but establish the right, and he would Rjive the recount the benefit of the doubt. It is ■ believed that enough errors will be found in this r county which, added to the seven votes gained [ by Downing in the Vermillion recount, will wipe out Bettslev’s majority of thirty-two. | Judge Mack fixed next Monday for the re count, and appointed as the commission George L E.
