THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SATURDAY, JANUARY 7. 18110.

BOOK GONE FROM COURT J(I Mi E LEV!'HE US’S INVESTIGATION IX RED ( LAY ORCHARD CASE. Juror Kane ClniniK to Have Been Trailed by Detective, Who la Summoned. ♦ The Red Clay Orchard Company suit, on trial in Room 2, Superior Court, seems doomed to delay. The proceedings were ‘'held up” for two hours yesterday because of the mysterious disappearance of some documentary evidence which had been in the hands of the plaintiffs’ attorneys since the trial began. The mystery had not been explained at the hour of adjournment last night and the plaintiffs’ attorneys confessed that their case was greatly embarrassed. William Jones, the president of the Red Clay Orchard Company, with other stockholders, suing James H. Smith, the form-* er treasurer of the company. Smith has been on the witness stand on cross-examination for three days. In putting their questions to the witness the attorneys for the plaintiffs have constantly referred to> a book containing the minutes of the meetings held by the directors of the Red Clay Orchard Company. Thursday night Judge Leathers held court until 10:30 o’clock and when the session closed the attorneys left all their documents in the courtroom. * Yesterday morning when court convened the minute book was missing and search was made for it. At noon it had not been found and the fact of its disappearance was remarked as being rather curious. No one seemed to know anything about the hook and at 2 o’clock, when court reconvened, the plaintiffs’ attorneys demanded that investigation be made. The attorneys for the defense appeared equally as anxious for an investigation and a number of people were sworn and asked what they knew of the missing book. The bailiff and page of the courtroom were examined and, in fact, every one interested in the trial except Judge Leathers and the jury was questioned. Judge Leathers then suggested that several strangers had been about the courtroom the evening before and advised that they be looked up. It was learned that one of the men who have been spending considerable time in the courtroom lately is John P. Callahan, who is said to be a detective. This information came from Thomas Kane, one of the jurors, who told the court that Callahan had been following him for several weeks. Kane sail that Callahan had been watching him closely ever since the Red Clay Orchard Company suit began. Kane’s theory is that Callahan is to watch him because of some litigation he has in the courts. While the Stevenson building was in course of erection Jvane was injured while walking on the plank sidewalk that had been put down by the city and the contractor of the building. Kane brought a twenty-flve-dollar damage suit against the city and also sued the building contractor. These cases have not yet been tried. Kane also sued an Illinois insurance company on an accident policy and secured a judgment for $1,500 while Lawson M. Harvey was on the Superior Bench. The company was granted anew trial, and the case is to he heard again. Kane complained yesterday to Judge Leathers that Callahan had been “trailing” him lately, and he asserted the belief that this was being done to secure evidence against him in his forthcoming damage suit. "Issue a subpoena for Mr. Callahan,” said Judge Leathers, after listening to Juror Kane n complaint . The summons was issued and a deputy sheriff w r as sent to serve it. The court said he proposed to find out why “Detective” Callahan found so much to interest him in the Red Clay Orchard trial. Late yesterday evening it was reported that Callahan could not be found. While no one charges that Callahan knows anything of the missing minute book, the attorneys want to examine him, since they have questioned others who were in the courtroom at the hour of adjournment Thursday night. The Red Clay Orchard suit will have to be finished with eleven jurors. John Traub, one of the jurors, was excused yesterday morning on account of illness, and by agreement the case will proceed without him.

JOHN SEVERANCE CONVICTED. Received Goods Stolen by the Spain Gang. John Severance, twenty-seven years old, was tried in the Criminal Court yesterday on the charge of receiving stolen goods. The jury after being out an hour found him guilty and ho will be compelled to servo from one to three, years in the Indiana Reformatory. Severance and his wife w r ere arrested in connection with the alleged thieving operations of Earl Spain, P'red Connor, Leslie Black. Peter Bell and Mede Taylor. The last three are colored men. Pearl Hunt, a young colored woman employed as a domestic in the home of Michael Boylan on South Capitol avenue, was also arrested on the charge of being in a conspiracy with the others. She has given the police some valuable information and will probably not be tried. Mrs. Severance has been in jail since her arrest with her husband, but it is not understood that the case against her is to be prosecuted. Severance and his wife lived in the homo of a Mrs. Craig at No. 915 South Meridian street, and it is claimed the pair were in the habit of receiving goods stolen by the other members of the gang. Spain has been tried and is now serving a prison sentence. Leslie Black has also been sent to prison. Detectives Dugan and Asch made all of tlie arrests and were the leading witnesses for the State. Fred Connor, who turned state’s evidence and "peached on his pals,” sat with the detectives and the attorneys for the State during the trial. The detectives when they visited the Severance home found considerable property which it was claimed had been stolen. Mrs. Severance was carrying a line lady’s watch, which the detectives recognized as a timepiece stolen from a Muneie woman. Severance also had a good watch which it is charged had been stolen. Mrs. Severance testified that Fred Connor gave her the watch she was carrying in payment for board. Severance claimed lie had “traded” watches with Spain. In making the arrest the detectives found some correspondence that hud passed between the colored man. Mede Taylor, and John Severance. In one of the letters mention was made of a “drill” which Severance had been using. The State produced this letter as evidence that the gang had use for burglars’ tools. Severance on the witness stand was asked to explain the reference to the "drill.” He said he could easily do that. He said it was an ordinary carpenter’s drill which he had used in the manufacture of dice, an art in which he admitted he was very proficient. He also admitted that his specialty was making “loaded dice,” which he has been selling to those who required them in their business. THE MASONIC MUTUAL. Petition to Have Assignee Magrew Removed Heard. Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court, yesterday heard argument on a petition asking for the removal of Harold C. Megrew, one of the assignees of the Masonic Mutual Benefit Society. The other assignee is Irvin C. Robbins who, with Mr. Magrew, was appointed about ten months ago. The petition was filed by Attorney Ferris on behalf of two women who are beneficiaries of the society. The chief point argued as to why Mr. Magrew should be removed from the trust is the fact that he is absent from the city and cannot attend to his duties. Mr. Magrew is at present filling the position of major with the second battalion of the One-hun-dred-and-sixty-flrst Indiana Regiment, which is doing service in Havana. Smiley N. Chambers, representing the assignees, resisted tiie petition, urging that the proper officials were in constant correspondence with the absent assignee concerning the affairs of tiie trust. The attorney for the petitioners insisted that too much time is being wasted in winding up the affairs of the Masonic Mutual, and asserted that very little had been accomplished since the trust was created. He intimated to the court that there should be some investigation of the officers and directors of the society. Judge Allen informed him that he would order an "investigation” of all the affairs of the society if the attorney would bring any proof that there had been unnecessary delay or that there was anything irregular in the way the Masonic Mutual had been managed. It was Intimated to the eourt that it would shortly be asked to older an assessment of all the members for the purpose of raising a sufficient sum to pay the

indebtedness of the society. Judge Allen took the petition under advisement and said he would give it due consideration. \ Incomes Taxation Case. The Supreme Court yesterday affirmed a judgment for sl,s(X> given by the Knox Circuit Court against John B. ixi Plante, of Vincennes, for making a false return of property for taxation. The defense raised the question of the right of the prosecuting attorney to handle the investigation which led up to the suit. After upholding the action of the prosecuting attorney the opinion of the court was as follows: “There is evidence in the case which shows that appellant on April 1, 1895, owned and held bonds, money, stocks, mortgage notes, etc., subject to taxation of the value of $27,000 and over. “It appears from the evidence that in that year he omitted from his tax schedule or list over $20,000 of this property besides converting about SI,BOO of money for the purpose of avoiding taxation- We have examined the evidence and are satisfied that it fully sustains and justifies the verdict of the jury, and the judgment of the court thereon.” The C. A E. I.'s Appeal. The Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad Company yesterday Hied a petition for a rehearing in its appeal from the recent judgment involving the payment of $30,000 as a fee for the recent, consolidation of the road with that of the Indiana Coal Railway. The company did not file the articles of consolidation required by law with the secretary of state. The Appellate Court decided in the case of William Caylor against the estate of Daniel Caylor that the verbal death-bed bequest of the wife of the deceased defendant, giving all her personal property to the plaintiff, was binding on her husband and that as he neglected or refused to carry out her bequest during his life the obligation constituted a valid claim against his estate. ■ ♦ THE COI KT RECORD. Supreme Court. 18663. La Plante vs. State ex rcl. Goodman. Knox C. C. Affirmed. Jordan, J. —l. In actions by the State on the relation of the prosecuting attorney to recover penalties for failure to list property for taxation, each year's failure constitutes a separate cause of action, and ought to be stated in Separate paragraphs of the complaint, but the instructions to the jury may confine their inquiry, under tho evidence, to a certain year, so as to disregard inquiry as to the failure of defendant to list his property for taxation in other years. 2. .And in such action a copy of defendant's tax list or schedule for the year for which the action is prosecuted need not be made an exhibit to the complaint. 3. It is within the discretion of the trial court to allow an amendment to the complaint during trial, and when it is not abused nor causes prejudice to tho cause of defendant it is not reversible error. 4. Merely sustaining an objection to a question propounded to a witness presents no question as to the correctness of the court's ruling in the absence of an offer of what is proposed to be proved by the witness. Appellnte Court. 2584. City of Terre Haute vs. Fagan. Vigo C. C. Affirmed. Black, C. J.—Where the errors of the court are causes for a newtrial they should he so presented to the trial court, and if overruled the action of the court in ruling on the motion should be asigned as error. 2608. Alberts vs. Baker. Huntington C. C. Affirmed. Henley, J.—l. Errors assigned on rulings as to the pleadings need not be considered where the questions urged arise on a special verdict. 2. When a person responds to a summons served upon him as garnishee and makes oral answer admitting an indebtedenss to the defendant in the attachment proceedings, the court acquires such jurisdiction of him so as to enable it to render a valid judgment against, him. 3. Fraud is a question of fact and cannot be presumed or Inferred as a matter of law. 4.

LIKE A MIRACLE. HOW A LOCOMOTOR ATAXIA SUFFERER WAS CURED, Tl* Story of c- Sturdy Engineer—Tlta * Death wai Decreed at a Consultation of Physicians bat a Changed Medical Treatment Saved HIl Life From th*. Evening New*, Detroit, Mich. James Crocket, a sturdy old Scotchman, living in Detroit, Mich., at 83 Montcalm Street, was asked about his wonderful cure. 44 First,” ho said, “I must tell you something of my life before my almost fatal sickness. I was born in Scotland in 1822, and came to this country in 1848. lam a marine engineer by trade, and have been up And own the big lakes hundreds of times. There is no spot between Duluth and the Atlantic Ocean 1 do not know. In 1872 I was in the employ of the Detroit and Cleveland Navigation Cos., and for fifteen years I was at my post as chief engineer on one of their big passenger steamers. My first boat was the K, N Rice, Which was burned at the docks. Then I was transferred to the Rubie, which was chartered to make the run between Detroit and Cleveland. “I brought, out the new steamer the ‘City of the Straits/ and for years acted as her ’ chief engineer. It is a great responsibility, the position of chief engineer on those big passenger palaces. Thousands of lives are held in the keeping of the engineer. Few realize the dangers that might befall them, and on the engineer depends the safety of the passengers. The anxiety causes a great nervous strain, and the strictest attention k> necessary during the trip. Not for a moment must he lose his watchfulness, as the human freight above him is absolutely in his care “ For fifteen years I carefully watched the big engines and boilers without a single accident, and only noticed that I was getting nervous. Suddenly without warning I was taken sick, and in less than a week I was prostrated. I had the best of physicians, and hoped to be at work again within a week. 1 grew gradually worse, and at the council of doctors, they said I had nervous prostration, and had destroyed my whole nervous system and would never be able tc be up again. Tiiey said I had worn myself cut by the long nervous strain caused by watching and worrying about the machinery. No man could stand such nervous strains over seven or eight years, while I had been fifteen years in destroying my nerve centres. For three long years I was unable to move from my bed without assistance. Tho doctor said I had locomotor ataxia* and would [ never be able to walk again. “The pains and suffering I experienced during those years are almost, indescribable. My wife used to put eight or ten hot water bags around mo to stop the pain. Those that came to sea me bid me good-bye when they left me and I was given up. The doctors said nothing more could be done for me. In fact I bad given myself up, and thought there was no use trying to get well. tried every known remedy, and my wife kipt reading the articles about Dt,

THE LAND USELESS. City Mauls to Trade I’art of Its l'nrk A'i| nlsltion. In the greed for park lands the city became possessed of a small piece remote from the general White-river system, for which it now finds it has no use and which it is trying to trade off to the water company for a four-acre strip one hundred feet wide extending from east of the White-river bridge on the Crawfordsville road to Vorster avenue, the. southern line of the parks, if the trade is made—City Attorney Kern has been asked if it can be done legally—the proposition is to make a boulevard of the four-acre strip now owned by the water company. The Emrich land, which the city wants to dispose of, lies at the southeast corner of a fifty-acre tract owned by the water company. It was explained yesterday that when the Emrich land was bought it was thought the city would acquire the water company’s land adjoining it and the Emrich land was needed to make the boundaries uniform. Negotiations to purchase the water company’s plant having fallen through the city has no use for the Emrich land. The city is likely to have trouble over the condemnation for park purposes of what was called "No Man’s Land,” lying on the river near Greenlawn Cemetery. Claims to portions of Tots 130 and 132 have been made by the Union Trust Company, administrator of the estate of the late W. C. De Pauw, who bought the land in 1879. It has been of record in his name and his agents have paid the taxes. Notice by publication was given, but the administrator contends that such a notice is worthless, especially when the parties owning the ground are here and the records show their title. Sums of money were paid by the city to various “squatters" in "No Man's I .and" to induce them to vacate. It could not be learned yesterday whether the city had paid the "squatters" for the land now claimed by the De Pauw estate. The administrator will expect to have its title cleared to this land or be paid a fair price for it. Purdmoinß City Supplies. Anew rule was adopted by the Board of Public Works yesterday with regard to the purchase of stationery and "supplies of every kind and description.” Until now the various departments have made their own requisitions and in some eases this resulted in the dpulieation ot' warrants in the payment of hills. It is claimed that nothing of the kind has occurred recently. Hereafter requisitions w ill be made by the board directly and on all purchases of S3O or more sealed proposals will be required. It has been the custom when supplies were needed for the departments to receive propositions from different firms and then buy from the one making the lowest offer. Rev. Mr. Q-uayle’s Lecturi’*. Rev.
