TAKING OF EVIDENCE

JIHY I SMITH CASE SECl'BED A!CD THE TRIAL BEGIX Whitman, tbe Hack Driver, Telia the Storr of the Murder Jnry Not Allowed to Separate. The men who are to meet out punishment to Winnifred E. Smith for the murder, of Western B. Thomas are as follows: Newton J. McDanlel, Indianapolis; John Fe.l.-nger, Wayne tow:sh p; Herekiah Jones, Broad Ripple ; Reuben Bunnell, Washington township; John Reagan, Decatut townahip; William E. Privett, Washington township; William R. Johnson, Wayne township; Louis Thieme, Indianapolis; Frank R. Harding, Wayne township; William T. McVey. Warren township; Jacob T, Morris, Indianapolis; George H. Huron, Indianapolls. If, in the progress of the grave Judicial action of the Criminal Court yesterday, there was one feature to brighten the surroundings of Winnie Smith it was the presence of hia mother. She sat at his side during the entire afternoon, her face alternately portraying her hopes and fears.1 Court convened at 9 o'clock in the morning. A large per cent, of the half-frenzied humanity that fairly tumbled over itself to gain admission to the room were women. Many of them were pretty, and nearly all were stylishly dressed. Most of them .were young-, and the majority of them spent the day feasting their eyes upon the handsome face of the prisoner. Smith paid but little attention to the spectators, and his eyes rarely ever rested upon the gallery, where the most attractive of the feminine part of the audience had lodged itself. Myrtle Overturf, the companion of Smith on the night of the murder, did not tut in an appearance yesterday. She was not in court Monday, and probably will not come In until she is called as a witness for the prisoner. Dr. Wands, the stepfather of. Smith, was with his son all day. Yesterday fafter-. noon Smith's mother, garbed in the'.deepest black, came Into the court-room through a rear, door, and for an hour occupied the private apartments back of the main room. She waa accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Plumb, of Evansvllle, and Col. John Miller, of New York, a brother. Shortly after the Jury had been, selected, Mrs, Wands, walked quietly to the vacant chair at the side of her Bin and sat down, remaining there until the. hour of adjournment. Occasionally Smith would whisper to his mother and often allowed his arm to rest on her shoulfather1 Sat between his mother and stepi1!11 Peninff of court yesterday mornrflh roilne of "electing the jury was resumed. These uninteresting details con--SffJi1 "o'clock before they were put t0 tnS lntena relief of all. The attorneys on both sides pounded away at the ZtTL venl" until noon. Twenty men had ht s"mmonei the night before, but only noon ht appeared, iesterday afterF ,n th court convened it began to h?,- if anther venire would have to oe orawn. ?ly fitnesses examined were the Rrurhf'.w w maae a digram of the Brighton beach bar. and Harry Whitman, the cabman. Both were called by the del fen?e. Whitman, waa the driver of the S 1 wtwh,h transported a merry party to Brighton beach on the night of the murder. t? ,sH?d the murder, but his recollec of the tragedy were indistinct. He rond,totamned ,by attorney Elam. who will prosecution examination for the TWO WITNESSES IIEAIID. The Cabman Who Drove Thomaa to the Beach on the Stand. At 3 o'clock the jury had not yet leen chosen. After a short recess, William Newby, the anxious juror, whose dairy stock bad been unattended since Monday morning, was made very happy by a dismissal. After Indulging In a warm hand-grasp with every lawyer in the room the bolated dairyman fled from the court. William E. Privett. a Washington township schoolmaster, was called by the prosecution and passed. He had known the prisoner when a ch:id. Mr. Privitt remained unchallenged by the defense. A few minutes after 3 o'clock Attorney Henry Spann asked the court to Indulge the counsel for the defense a few moment's time. The request was granted and the attorneys with the prisoner and Dr. Wand retired to the court's private chamber. The audience attached considerable aignificence to this move and instantly worked itself into a fever of expectancy. After a short deliberation the attorneys returned to the court room. "The defense is content with the jury," said John S. Duncan and the court glanced at the prosecution. "I think we are also satisfied," said Attorney Elam rising to his feet and for an instant allowing his gaze to rest on the twelve men in the box. Prosecutor Witsie stepped from hia place at the table and said: . J'lta2iy member of this jury is related to the defendant or has Dr. Wand for a family physician, let him say so." The prosecutor waited for an instant but no one spoke. Then the twelve men who were to have charge of the future destiny of Winnie E. Smith stood up and took the oath administered by the bailiff. Some little time was consumed in separating witnesses. Each was instructed by the court and enjoined to discret silence. All of the witnesses were sent to the grand jury room opposite the Criminal Court. Attorney Elam said that Mrs. Thomas, widow of W. B. Thomaa would not appear in court, that her presence would not probably be required. THE OPENING STATEMENT. At 3:15 o'clock Charles It. Henry, leading counsel for the State arose to state the case to the jury. He first read the Indictment, during which reading the prisoner leaned anxiously forward from his seat at the table. There was a Jook of interest in his face and he scarcely lifted his eyes from the jury during the statement of the case. He evinced unusual interest in the attorney's explanations of the various statutes, covering manslaughter and murder in the first and second degrees. Mr. Henry in his statement to the jury went over the details qf the crime of July 12. The evidence, he said, would show that the murdered man was on his way home from Brazil, where he had been on business. About U o'clock on the night of July 11 Mr. Thomas met Dan Lynch and Larry McKeon, ex-ball player. They drank several times and some one proposed that thev go out to Brighton Beach Thomas and Lynch arrived at the beach about the same time or perhaps a few moments before Smtth Rnd the woman, with whom he was doing the different resorts. Attornev Henry said there would doubtless be some controversy as to the time of the arrival of the principals of the tragedy. From a diagram he familiarized the jury with the locality of the beach, pointing out the minute arrangements of the rooms of the resort. He told the Ktory of the tragedy as it his been before detailed. "The evidence will show," he said, "that Smith announced his Intention of having trouble with some one before he went up to the bar. It will show that Thomas appeared to have been stabbed from the rear." The attorney detailed the conversation that presumably ensued between Thomas and Smith, and the words that led to the struggle between the men. During the recounting of the story the prisoner gazed steadfastly at the attorney. His fao was calm and placid and nt no time did his features betray that the details so graphically told were famll.'ar to h'm. "The evidence will show." continued Mr. Henry, "that the killing of Thomas was without provocation and that Thomas was simply good naturedly drunk. At no time did he show a disposition to ouarrel with Smith." Mr. Henry thousht the evidence would jls: nhow that Smith and Thomas had mft before, that Smith had s;iid that he "diil not like Thomas any way" and that he went into the bar with murder In his heart. "We charge Mr. Smith with murder In the first derrree." concluded the attorney, "and expect a conviction at your hands. We wl'l Know that Smith tfrove to the home of Harry Sells after the trouble and maile arrangements to secure Information as to the result of his deed. THE FIRST WITNESS. It was nearly 4 o'clock before the first witness was called by the prosecution. Thomaa M. Wlnterrowde. an architect, living at No. IS Morrison street, was called W testify u to the dimension of Brighton

Beach fear and Its apartments. He went to the beach a month, ago with Prosecutor Wiltsie and took measurements of the house and bar. He said they were exact. From a map, showing the location of the windows and doors of the building, the architect pointed out the distance between these opening?, While at the .beach an employe of the resort had pointed out to him a. dark stain on the floor. He did not know what It was. The map was Introduced as evidence and accepted by the piisoner's counsel. The cross-examination of the architect was conducted by Attorney J. S. Dunan. He was rigidly questioned as to the lines of the map and the distances between the points involved. Henry Whitman, the hack driver, who drove W. B. Thomas and his friends on the fatal night, was the first witness to tell the actual details of the tragedy. He met Weaton B. Thomas in the Imperial restaurant He was called into the place by Larry McKeon arid- his services as a hackman engaged by the party. This was about 2 o'clock on the morning of July .13. It was near that hour when Thomas, Lynch and McKeon took passage in the hack for Brighton Beach. At the corner of Michigan and Columbia streets, McKeon alighted and his companions proceeded without him. The hack drew up about a square east of Brighton Beach, Thomas, Lynch and the cabman entering the east door of the bar. There were no other vehicles in the neighborhood. The trio stepped to the bar standing in line In front of the mirror. Thomaa ordered beer as Smith came from the rear of the saloon, addressing the bartender: "I believe that's a dollar I owe you." Sluss, the Siano-player, and a man whom the witness id not know, were in the room aside from those mentioned. At Smith's query to the bartender, Thomas said: "Why don't you pay the man If you owe him?" Smith retorted sharply and Thomas said: "That's all right, take a drink with me, I've met you before." Smith, said: "I don't care about making any new acquaintances." ..... Thomas put his hand on Smith's shoulders and exclaimed: "If you won't drink with me take your lady and go on away." Smith replied: "I don't know that I have to ko," and then the men began to ' scuffle. The witness saw them toppl from the door to the porch. He saw the blood guehing from a wound, as Smith arose and walked a short distance away. Then Smith returned, striking the prostrate man. A moment later he sprang into his vehicle which stood in front of the door, and taking the lines from the woman who occupied the seat, drove north. The woman was Myrtle Overturf, 'or Wallace. The cabman did not see a weapon 'n the hands cf either of the struggling men. He saw the knife after it had been picked up from the porch. Smith and his companion returned after driving north. The woman was screaming. The witness jaw Thomas as he lay on the porch dying. The blood flowed freely from a wound in h's neck. Witness remained with the bedy until the corner came. He saw the clothing of the dead man searched, and noticed that a few articles of jewelry and some silver was taken from the pockets. Nothing la the way of a weaooa was found. He remembered that two or three glasses of beer were placed on the bar at the beach for the visiting party. Thomas was under the influence of liquor. Smith, as the witness 3aid, "was not very far wrong" (meaning that he was but slightly intoxicated). Thomas, the witness thought, had a briar-wood pipe before he was killed, but he did not remember what disposition was made of it." The defense did not go into the crossexamination of hackman Whitman. It was 5 o'clock before the prosecution dismissed him, and attorney Duncan asked for an adjournment. He said that he could not hope to get through with his investigation in an hour, and desired that his time be unlimited. Judge McCray, before adjourning court, Informed the members of the jury that they would not agalri be allowed to separate until the termination of the trial. He .enjoined them to the strictest silence regarding a discussion of the merits of the case and cautioned them against talking with outsiders. The jury was put in charge of bailiff Royster, who will guard the movements of its members. Personnel of the Jury. The jury which is to try the Smith case la an Intelligent, substantial-looking body of men. William T. McVey, of Warren township, is the youngest member. He Is thirty-three years of age. Newton J. McDanlel, of this city, is sixty years old. All of the members are farmers except those living in this city. Louis Thieme Is a carpenter and George Huron Is a railway telegrapher. W'illiam Privett, of Washington township, is a schoolteacher. Juror William Johnson, of Wrayne, is the assessor for his township. The jury will be fed at a restaurant near the courthouse and will sleep in the court room. Cots, pillows and blankets will make them comfortable. Smith and his attorneys are well satisfied with the selection, STATE AUDITORS ttEPDUT.

Recommends a Reduction In School Levy and Inereuse In Sinking Fund. The report of Auditor of State Henderson came from the printer's hands yesterday. The first sentences felicitate the State on the fact that at last the time has come when the State has quit borrowing money to pay interest and has reached a debt paying era. He points cut, what Republicans told the people year after year, that the State was In a condition in which the treasury was running behind from a half to thvee-quarter of a million dollars every year. He shows, however, . that under the operation of the new law, and the federal refund, the debt has been reduced $910,000 in two years, leaving the total debt $7,920,615.12. He recommendes that the State school levy be reduced 2Vi cents; also that the State debt sinking fund should be increased to 4 cents. It is now 3. cents. The general fund levy, he says, should be reduced 1 cent, and the benevolent fund should -be merged into the general fund. The 'Auditor referrs to the fact that he has driven from the State 130 of the insurance companies that did business without the proper responsibility. Concerning State banks, he states that nine failures occurred, the first since 1875. He urges that the law be amended so as to provide for some one to take charge of a broken bank until a receiver can be appointed; also, that the Auditor be authorized to notify bankers, when found to be observing unsafe practices or unsafe methods, to desist. Another recommendation effects the method of paying the State bank examiner. The recommendation is also made that the law, be changed so as to permit savings banks to be organized so that the promoters may find profit enough In them to start them. The estimates of receipts and expenditures for the next two years are as follows: "Shou'd the value of property for taxable purposes remain the same during 1896 and 1897 as now, viz.: $1,302,310,250, and the present tax levy of 10 cents on the $100 for the general fund of the State treasury a ad 5 cents for the benevolent institution fund is continued, and the receipts from all other resources remain the same, the total amount of revenue collected for each of the years 1895, 1S98 and 1897 will be $2,574,772.37. And should the current expenses (including $105,000 for legislative expenses in 1895 and 1S97), which means the expenses actually necessary to pay the permanent officers, departments and institutions and the interest on the public debt, it will require the sum of $2,064,950, leaving a balance of $509,822.37. Specific appropriations, made by the last General Assembly, payable In the year 1895, amounting to $80,000, should be deducted from the balance for that year. For the year 189S the balance will be $105,000 larger, for in that year there will, in all probability, be no legislative session. "By a decision ot the Supreme Court the incidental expenses of the State Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument are chargeable against the general fund and not against the the appropriation or fund for that structure. This expense has amounted to about $12,000 a year, but may be increased, as under the Supreme Court decision, there is no limitation to this expenditure." Mr. Powell's Recommendation. Some changes in police districts are to be made, now that the force has been increased. Important changes are also to be recommended in the annual report of the department. The city. It Is said, has outgrown one police station, nnd the establishment of two additional ones will be asked. It is proposed to erect one in the north section of the city and the other in the southern. Important Arrlvnl of I'ine Kentucky Suddle Horse. Mr. Shelby T. Harbison's car of fine Kentucky saddle and read horses, consigned to .1. T. Johnson & Son, to be sold Thursday, Jan. 10, arrived in the city yesterday morning.

The Editorial Associations of the State are interested in proposed legislation to remedy the unjust libel laws on the statute books, and to make them conform with laws adopted in other State3. The joint committees of the editorial associations met at the Grand Hotel, yesterday morning, with G. M Allen, of the Terre Haute Express, aa chairman, and J. A. Kemp, of the Salem Leader, acting as secretary. There were about forty present and the editors Beemed to be very conservative In their wants, seeking nothing that would not be of general benefit to the people at large, as well as to the publishers of newspapers. While the Grubts libel law waa unqualifiedly condemned, the measures' proposed are In the form of amendments, and while the responsibility in the libel law is to be retained, the newspapers are given the right to make proper retraction. The recent Minnesota law is looked upon as the most favorable and just to people and publishers alike. On Mr. Holtman's suggestion, a joint committee was appointed from the committees present to meet Immediately after appointment to consider the various bills proposed and decide upon the ones to be submitted. This joint committee was composed of the following: G. M. Allen, of the Terre Haute Express; H. rf. New, of the Indianapolis Journal; V, L. lilcketts, of the Delphi Journal; F. H. Nauer, of the North Vernon Banner; J. D. Hogate, of the Danville Republican, and J. A. Kemp, of the Salem Leader, all members of the Republican Editorial Association; J. B.
