NINE LOSE THEIR VOTES

HAIMO DISFRANCHISEMENT OF VOTE SELLERS IX MONTGOMERY. Case of ltent Itrnornnce-Trouble Feared In Spencer Steamer Sunk Aenr Vlnccnnc Gibson's Plea. Frecial to the Indianapolis Journal. CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., Jan. 20.-The case against Charles Wells for selling his vote was tried before Judge West this morning, and the court disfranchised him for twenty years. This man is the son of Rufus Wells, who was tried by a Jury yesterday for the same offense and was disfranchised for nineteen years. Wells testified to-day that he could not distinguish colors, could not tell the time of day, did not know how many pennies It took to make a quarter or a dollar, did not know In what town, township, county or State he lived, could not tell the directions, did not know what a loaf of bread, glass of beer or a ton of coal was worth, could not read or write, and the only thing he did seem to know was that he had always voted the Democratic ticket and knew the rooster when he saw It, yet he said that he did not know the difference between the Democratic and. Republican tickets. He said he was forty years old, although he did not know when or where he was born. Several men appeared before the Judge, and entered a plea of guilty, and were all disfranchised for twelve years each. They were James Endlcut, John Rankins. William A. Scott and Stephen Robbins. The case of James Osborne was then called, and he demanded a trial by Jury, and the case resulted in his being disfranchised for fifteen years. Charles Bogart then pleaded guilty and was disfranchised for twelve years. William Rogers demanded a trial and was convicted and disfranchised for sixteen years. William Hinton was disfranchised for twelve years on his plea of guilty. Trouble Feared in Spencer. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LOCKPORT. Ind., Jan. 29.-The court has been busy handing down decisions in the vote-selling cases to-day. Twenty negroes have pleaded guilty, were fined $3 each and disfranchised for ten years. Eight negroes have- pleaded not guilty and will stand trial. It is believed a test case as to the constitutionality of the law will be made. It has developed that the indictments returned against the 121 negroes Is a Democratic trick to gain political power in this county and congressional district. Republicans threaten to have indicted a hundred white Democrats at the next session of the grand Jury. The negroes are showing bad blood. They are angry and vindictive and trouble is expected. YV hile public opinion generally approves the disfranchisement of those Indicted, it also holds that there are white men also who should have been lbdicted, and that the law Is unjust in not punishing the buyers as well as the sellers. DESPERATE FIGHT. George 31. Hay Is Jlnklnff It In the Court at Shelbyvllle. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SHELBYVILLE. Ind., Jan. 29. Judge KIrkpatrick in passing on the plea in abatement in the George M. Ray case sustained the demurrer of the State, holding that the use of the article "a" or the word "said" was immaterial and the indictment would be good whlcnever was used; declining also to take up the question of the alterations, if any had been made after the return of the indictment. At. 10 o'clock the venire of seventy-five names was drawn In the presence of tho defendant, by one of the Jury commissioners, and the county clerk and six riding bailiffs started after them. A motion was made to set aside the regular panel, because seven out of the twelve had been excused or challenged on the former county trials. After the drawing of the special venire the defendant's attorneys raised the point that there was a conspiracy between the Jury commissioners and others to pack the Jury box to convict him, alleging that in the drawn venire there were the names of thirty men who had been drawn to serve on the other trails. Judge KIrkpatrick withheld his decision and ordered the Jury in the box. The remainder of the afternoon was spent In getting a Jury and at adjournment the defense had passed six out of twelve men. Gibson Changed Ills Plen. JACKSON, Miss., Jan. 23. In the Circuit Court here to-day Contractor J. E.

ALL SENTENCED. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) years of age. was a member of the firm of James McAlister & Co;, engaged in one branch of silk manufacture. He lived with his father, James McAlister, at 106 Park street. His two sisters stood high socially In Paterson. The evidence brought out at the coroner's inquest was so conclusive that all four men were placed under arrest and refused bail. Thrde of them, Death, Kerr and Campbell, made a confession. To their confession was added the evidence of the hackman In whose carriage the four men carried Jennie Bosscheiter to her death. The details of the crime were, for the most part, too revolting for publication. According to the evidence brought out at the Inquest, Jennie Bosschleter left her home about 8 o'clock on Thursday evenlnur, Oct. 18,-to go to Kent's drug store, in the heart of Paterson, to make a trifling purchase, for which her mother gave her 15 cents. There is some reason to believe that Jennie took but a moderate interest in her drug-store errand. The vicinity of Kent's drug store in Paterson was where the "gilded" youth of the McAlister stripe were apt to lounge in the evening looking for young girls who, like Jennie Bosschleter, were given to flirting. While she was far from being a vicious girl, she had a number of young men acquaintances, and she not infrequently was known to drink beer with them. At the drug store the girl met Campbell, Kerr. McAlister and Death. With Campbell she was acquainted, and when he walked up to her and spoke to her she accepted his invitation to walk with him. Campbell guided her down Main street, along Broadway, through Bridge street to Christopher Saal's saloon at River and Bridge streets. The saloon is a German resort, and has not a bad reputation. There are back rooms, with tables, where men and women were in the habit of going to drink. To one of these rooms Campbell guided Jennie, and the two were soon joined by McAlister, Death and Kerr. The saloon xnan, Saal, testified that two of them, one of whom was McAlister, came to the bar and got absinthe, beer and one giass of vichy and milk. He says that McAlister carried the drinka into the back room himself. He says, furthermore, that ho served the party with a quart bottle of champagne. That is the best he could remember to-day, except that when he took In the champagne the girl was talking and laughing, and did not show the slighter; Indication of being affected by any drug. Evidence was given at the inquest to prove that McAlister twice put "knockout drops" In Jennie Bosschieter's glass; that neither dose took effect, and that It was not until a third and double dose of the drug had been administered that the girl succumbed to the effect of the chloral and fell into a stupor. The unconscious girl was then taken in a hack by the four men to a lonely sno: outside the city and criminally assaulted. The girl, still unconscious, was replaced In a hack, the men purposing to leave her on tho doorstep of her h4me. On the way back to the city her death was discovered. Atter a lengthy discussion they drove to the residence of Dr. Townsend, who, after a brief examination, declared that the girl had been dead for some time. The four men then decided to drive to the country and leave the body by the rcadslde. The carriage was driven to a point In Bergen county, near Alger's mill, aild thrown to the ground with such forci that, the head striking a rock, the skull wes crushed.

Professor Wllthaus, an analytic chemist of New York, who testified that the liquid in the bottle found near the girl's body was chloral hydrate, and that he had found five grains of the drug in the dead girl's stomach. Dr. McBride, the county physician, testified that chloral caused the girl's death. William A. Death, one of the accused, swore that McAlister put "knockout drops" or chloral in the girl's wine glass three times, and relate! the particulars of the assault and the final disposition of tho body. The hackman told in detail the particulars or the assault. The attorneys for the defense entered a general and specific denial of all accusations, and attacked the moral character of the dead girl. iMcAUster and Campbell declared that they acted only on a generous Impulse when they took the girl out of the saloon to the hack. They had thought a drive In the fresh air would do her good, and had taken her across the river out into the country. They had lifted the girl out of the hack because she was sick, and they had conducted themselves like humanitarians in their efforts to bring her back to her senses. EICHES IN THE KLONDIKE. Quarts Worth $400 a Ton Placer Strike on Klnhenan Creek. VICTORIA, B. C Jan. 23. The steamer Amur brings news that on Jan. 22 quartz running as high as $400 to the ton was found In the Klondike. The dogs and sled of James Black, a miner reported missing, have been found near toelwln. It is thought he gave out and was lost in a snowstorm. Tho announcement was made at Dawson Jan. 21 that all crown claims except reservations for compensation will be thrown open Feb. 24. The Dawson papers of Jan. 22 have notices by Chrisler & Bethune that an application for a charter will be made by the British-Yukon Railway Company for a railway from Dawson to the United States boundary, and for branch roads on Klon dike creeks.

Mr. Stephens again denied and Mr. Flynn again reiterated his charges in connection with tho passage of the bill to ratify the Kiowa and Comanche agreement passed at the last session. Mr. White, in the course of his defense of the political rights of the colored men, said personally he cared little about the reduction of representation in the South. Throughout, he said, It would further Intrench the Republican party in power and enable it to dispense with the loyal support of the negro race. Some members of the Republican party, he said, "the Illy whites," after receiving the unalloyed support of the negroes for years, now appeared to believe they had grown a little too good for association with them. But such, he thanked God, were comparatively few In number. Mr. White declared that the negro on the threshold of the twentieth was to bo reckoned with. He was no longer the negro of forty years ago. Since that time illiteracy among the members of his race had decreased 43 per cent. His race now included 2.0O9 lawyers and as many physicians, the negroes had $12,000,000 of school property and $40.000.000 of church property; they owned 14Q.UM) homes and farms of the value of $750,000,000, and personal property to the amount of $170,000,000. Ail this, he said, his race had accomplished in the face of almost insurmountable obstacles, -lynchlngs. burnings, disfranchisement, and notwithstanding the fact that the door of every trade was closed against the colored man. The colored man, he said, who had done the country's work for two and one half centuries would not always remain poor. There was plenty of room at the top and the negro was climbing, lie spoke, he said. In behalf of an outraged, broken-hearted, bruised and bleeding people, but a faithful and Industrious one. On their behalf he a?ked no special favors, but only a fair field. As Mr. White finished the public galleries, which were filled with colored people, applauded vigorously. A bill was passed authorizing the director of the census to pay enumerators of cottcn gin statistics. A bill also was passed to retire John F. Bransford as an assistant surgeon in the navy. Bransford was an assistant surgeon In the navy for eighteen years prior to 1S00. During the Spanish war he volunteered and was on the Gloucester In the action with Cervera's fleet off Santiago, serving one of the guns during the Gloucester's memorable fight with the Spanish torpedo boats.
