(Special to The Indian*polio New*.] MARION. Ind., December ll.-Judge Paulus, of the Grant Circuit Court, today refused to annul the marriage contract entered Into a few weeks ago by Miss Rhetta Hult, daughter of William Huff, a retired farmer of Van Buren, this county, and John D. Ellis, of St. Louis, Mo. This is the case which created such a sensation when called in the local courts two weeks ago. It never having been known, prior to that time, that Miss Huff was married. Mrs. Ellis' story is that she went to St. Louis on an excursion one Sunday last August. It was her intententlon to spend a few days there. The first day in the city she met Ellis. Their acquaintance was brought about through a flirtation, she admits, and he asked permission to escort her to her hotel. She consented, and when they arrived there Ellis Incidentally remarked that he knew where she could get rooms at a private boarding-house for much less money than she was paying at the hotel, and offered hta services in providing her with such apartments. She was willing, and the next day Ellis, she alleges, took her to the boarding-house, followed her to the rooms assigned, and when they got inside told her that she must marry him. She was threatened, she claims, should she .refuse. On August 17, she says, she con-

sented to the marriage.

They continued to live at the same boarding-house, and on August 27 she succeeded in making her escape and returned at once to her parents. When they were told of her experience, they immediately notified Ellis that she should never live with him. and the case to annul the marriage was filed. Much evidence was introduced, the most important being love letters from Ellis to the girl. It was these that Influenced the court In Its decision, for they had a seriousness which convinced the judge that Ellis had been loyal and frank toward the girl. Her storv of being intimidated into mar- i rying him was not fully believed. The woman's father is well-to-do and prominent in this county. Ellis is said to hold

a responsible position.

KSstebine, who. since Nonber 23, has been making an analysis the contents of the stomach of C. C. Goodman, the supposed victim of Newell C. Rathbun, has made his report to Prosecuting Attorney Frank M. Mayfield. The result Is closely guarded from the public, but it is ataioat positive that no traces of laudanum were found. This conclusion is reached from the bearing of the prosecutor, who shown no indication of elatement over Dr. Kaatebine's Investigation, which he naturally would do if the last link of evidence had been forged that would send Rathbun to the scaffold or to prison for life. In an interview with Pros- ? erutor Mayfield this morning he said he was satisfied that he had evidence to convict the accused, and had been under that belief all the, time, but he declined to be quoted in any way regarding the report. After a News correspondent had gone over the entire ground, telling the prosecutor that he could not fail to show Indications of victory, in case the report was against Rathbun, Prosecutor Mayfield remarked; ‘T have always found you a pretty good guesser." The trial Is set for December IS and the defense says it Is ready to go before a Jury, and will insist on an early hearing of the case.

[Special to The Indianapolis News.] CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., December 1L—President Kane, of Wabash College, has inaugurated a series of short, practical talks at the chapel exercises. They have proved to be exceedingly interesting and many Wabash students will recall them wdth pleasure long after they have passed out of college. The Wabash faculty recently welcomed Prof. J. B. Garner, an alumnus of the college, to the chair of chemistry. Professor Garner comes to the college from Bradley Institute, Peoria, 111., where he made an enviable reputation as a brilliant scholar and an excellent Instructor. Messrs. Hosbrook and O’Rear have entered college, coming with Professor Garner from Bradley Institute. Several members of the faculty have prepared papers for the Academy of Science, which meets In Indianapolis during the Christmas holidays. The prospects of the college are brighter than they have been for a long time. The freshman class is one of the largest in the history of the college, the new men are more mature than formerly, and a clever relationship exists with the hlgn schools of the State. It is felt in all quarters that the Institution Is on the upgrade, and the future will see the attendance materially increasing. At a recent meeting of the faculty it was resolved to make solid geometry an entrance requirement. Graduates o£ commissioned high schools, however, who have not had this subject, will be given an opportunity to take It up here, and will receive credit for It toward their graduation. This will prevent high school graduates repeating work In college which has already been done, REFUSED TO PAY THE FINE.

Later developments go to prove that the monument was not accepted from the contractors by Miss Neely, and that It has not yet been paid for. A force of seven men has been at work for a month polishing and burnishing the bronze work in order to make it satisfactory to Miss Neely. It Is also claimed that the stonework did not come up to specifications. The contractors are In hot water over the affair, but will endeavor to make the work satisfactory to their customer.

LOST A DROVE OF HOGS. Twenty-Six, Well In the Morning, Were Dead at Night [Special to The Indianapolis News.] ANDERSON. Ind., December ll.-Wal-ter Potts, & Van Buren township farmer, is unable to account for the death of twenty-six of his hogs in one day on his farm. When he fed the swine In the morning all appeared to be healthy and greedy. In the evening the hogs were found dead about the field. Mr. Potts had the feed examined, found it was wholesome and further examination did not indicate that the hogs had been poisoned.

a wealthy farmer living near that place, his adopted daughter, Mabel Darlington, was shot? by David Carle, a rejected lover. He then shot himself through the

head, dying almost instantly.

Carle called at the Spahr home and asked for the girl. When she appeared he opened fir* on her, one ball entering the chest under the shoulder-blade, and another penetrating the body. Sheds still alive, but there seems to be little hope

old, and had been despondent over the ! fact that Miss Darlington had refused I his attentions. He worried over his love I affairs to such an extent that he tried | to commit suicide by hanging, a few i weeks ago. Crime Had Been Planned. Young Corle drove to the Spahr home j about 6 o’clock for the ostensible purpose i of exchanging letters with Miss Darling- j ton, they having ceased to go together | last Saturday night. He handed the! girt the letters he had received from her | and .she, In turn, gave him those which j he had written. This being over, Corle I turned to Mrs. Spahr, the girl’s foster [ mother, and, tossing her a letter, said; "You can read this one." He then turned again to Miss Darlington and requested her to step into the adjoining room, saying that he wished to speak to her. She assented. Corle asked her to go to church with him, and she refused. Quicker than thought, he drew a revolver from his pocket and fired ut the girl. The ball took effect in her side and she started to run, but as she did so Corle fired the second time, this bullet also taking effect. Corle made his way to the front door and ran down the road. Stopping suddenly, he turned the revolver on himself and fell dead in the snow by the roadside.
