News of Important Happenings in Indiana JUDGE REBUKES LAWYER PURDUE TO ENTERTAIN " THIRTEENTH DISTRICT

FOR MRS, JUNE GREGG Holds that Points Must XofBe Argued That Were Xot Brought Out as Evidence. TO GO TO JURY MONDAY Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CRAW FORDS VI LLE. Ind.. March 12Judge West came very near ending the Oregg damage case this morning by drawing the jury and crossing the case from the docket. Charles M. McCabe was speaking , for the plaintiff, and was arguing from a leCer by June Gregg when she was In I'aris, Ky.. to her husband, George Gregg, just after he had returned with his mother from Mt. Clement. Mich. In this letter were some statements that Mrs. Sarah M. CreKg, the defendant In this suit, had mistreated her, the plaintiff. The attorneys for the defense interrupted Mr. McCabe and made a motion to have the suit dismissed, and the attorneys had a long wrangle over the matter. It was claimed that Mr. McCabe was using parts of th letter which had not In any way been brought out In evidence. The Judge ruled that no part of the letter could be discussed, unless It was to show the truth or falsity of something brought out In evidence. The Jddge came out very plainly, and said that if he could see that parts of the statement In these letters, not supported or disputed by evidence, were being argued, that he would not hesitate to draw the jury and strike the case from the docket. Mr McCabe told the court that he was not trying to evade the rule, and, proceeding to speak, he was again Interrupted by the defense. The judge then sent the Jury out of the room and took the attorney into his room, where the matter was adjusted to the satisfaction of the judge and attorneys. The jury was then brought har k and Mr. McCabe continued his argument. The people were simply wedged into the courtroom, to-day. to hear the closing speech of Mr. McCabe. He spent some time In showing that George Gregg loved his wife before he married her. when he married her and after he married her, and that his letters to her saying that this earth was a heaven with her. and that he would die if she did not return to him. were written as expressions of his true feelings, and not aa an act of "diplomacy " as was testified by Gregg to have been nls motive when he wrote them. This afternoon Mr. McCabe dwelt on the alienation of the affections of George (iregg. He claimed that It was not disputed In the evidence that his affections had been alienated, and that there had been no evidence to show that June Greg"g had done a single act to bring about his coldness. This he argued as being the case, and that It left only the defendant as the person who had caused the separation. Mr. McCabe said that there were two points of similarity between George GregR and Ben Hickman, the colored man. They were both Elks and both would get drunk. The defondant's attorneys objected again to the argument of Mr. McCabe, but the judge said he could not see that he was wrong. Court adjourned at four o'clock until Mondav morning. It Is expected that the case will go to the jury Monday afternoon. REMOVAL OF C AH ILL WILL BE PROTESTED His Offense in the Conduct of the Cannelburg Postoffice Regarded as Technical.
