THE INDIANAPOLIS DAILY SENTINEL, MONDAY MORNING, JANUARY 19, 1885.

A TERRIBLE DEED.

A Johnson Coontj FArmer Murdered in Cold Blood, "Within Call of Hla Daughter's Voice Robbery No Doubt tho Object. Cull FJietory of the Fearful Crime that Horrifies the People of tbe County. In Clark Township, Johnson County, eight miles northeast of Franklin, stands a quaint, old-fashioned, one-story brick house, with two front docrj, protected by a narrow porch running the entire lngth of the Jroatof the domicile. Everything about the farm house bears an atr of comfort and convenience1, without that ostentation TrMch la noticed in the conBtruction of more modern residences. The Borroundingi give evidence of thrift and careful husbandry on the part of the owner. Xifty yards from the house standi a well filled barn, while the stoat upon the farm embraces a large cumber of hcrses and citt'.e all of the beat breeds showing fcy their condition that they aie the properly of one who takes pride as well as receives profit from their culture. Thirty-five years ago the farm house was erected by Taylor Bällard, a man who developed many excentricities of character, but who was universally respected by his neighbors for his moral trorth and the uniform promptness and correctness of his business habits. The most marked excentricity of character .'Was that 'found in his refusal to place confidence in banks, and the consquenca was that his house became the repository of his money, and finally led to his death at the hands of an unknown assassin, all the attendant circumstances indicating that robbery was the impelling cause. Saturday's Sentinel contained a brief li? patch regarding the assassination t Ht. Ballard, but a reporter's cariosity and a desire to give a fall account of the terrible tragedy lead him to the scene that evening. lie found the com munity in a state of excitement, that is witnessed only upon occasions calculated to excite the greatsst indignation, and call forth at the same time feelings of sympathy for the bereaved. From relatives of the deceased and others, who were upon the scene 3uiUioiftt ly after its occurrence, the followirg ficts were gleaned: On the 26th of March last the wife of Mr. Pailsrd, then about 79 years of age, corniritttd suicide by drowing in the cistern whil temporarily insane. Since that time J.tr. Ballard has been Illing comparatively alone, with the exception of a iarra band's lamily, who was with him till a couple of weeks ago, when a disagreement arose between 21r. Bal.ard and his hand, and the latter moved trv the vicinity of Boggstown, about four ml J es distant. The relatives of Mr. Uiüard, knowing his disposition to keep lar;:e surjs cf money a beut the place, often chtiled him, and predicted that he would be robbed. If cot murdered, for his money. He replied that he was prepared for such an emergency, and, indeed, was always armed with a revolver. About o'clock Monday evening, while nsated in the frcnt room of his noise: a large Mcne was thrown through the window, and passing within an inch of Ballard's head, struck a door opposite with great force. A re arch of the premises failed to reveal mything, but both he and his children regarded it as an attempt to assassinate him. Thursday evening, his daughter, Mrs. Certain ger, visited her brother, accompanied by Mary Cu tain per, her second daughter. At 4 o'clock they started to return home, and in doing bo were compelled to pass by Mr. Ballard a residence. It was raining very hard, and when Mrs. Cutsinger and daughter got within forty yards of the barn they noticed the -door standing open and at the same time heard a couple of dull sounds which they supposed to be the filling of a board, but which tber are now ratified were two pistol ihoU fired in rapid aticceaeion. FaAsiEp up to the door, Miss Uutsingfr called to her grandfather, but no answer was returned. At her mother's suepetti on she entered the driveway, but returned, saying that she was afraid to go further on account of the darkness. The two then went to the house, but failing to find Mr. Ballard tbey became alarmed and hurried home, which was but a th ort distance away. Arriving there a son of Ilr. Cutsinger and grandson of Mr. Ballard went to the house of the latter, and securing a light, togetöer with another jrran&on made an examination of the barn. Passing throngh the driveway and taming around the corner of a crib which is inside c! the barn, the young men were horrified to find their grandfather lying prostrate vipcu the floor with a bullet hole immediately above tho right eye. This was 5 o'clock In the eyenirg and the bedy was still warm, showing that the act had been committed tut a sbort time before. An examination of the body r roved that two wounds had been Iaflict;d, the first bill striking the joint cf the right shoulder blade, rangirg up and coming out on top or the thouldar and lodging in the ünirg cf the vast. The sec-nd Dill Txjnf traud the brain just above the right tjebrow, pawd through, iracturing the isull at a point where the pareital and occpital tones are united. Ihe pockets of the decoesed's clothing wrre toinf d inside out, and a revolrer, with two chambers rnpty, lay about two fest cTrom his i!de. Tho D'stol proved to b the one belonging to Mr. I'allard himself, end for this reat n it vas at firat supposed tr at ni3 death waa the result of 6iicide. A clcser examinst'en. however, showed thtt tlre was Hut from his posket in the muz:il of hi5 pistol, and that the two empty rhtmbers hsd not been recently discharged. It v?8 a'eo evident that the wound in the rloulder could not have been self-indicted. Fjom ell the attendant circumstances nere can be no doubt that Mr. "Ballard was the victim of a cold-blooded :aiSAsain, who was actuated by the hops of obtaining the large sum of money which the deceased was known to cirry about his person, and It is also clear that tho person cornmittir? the deed was familiar with the habits" of his victim. Until Saturday evening it was thought the assassin TiaH fHcnred at larzs aum of money. hnt this urovM not to have baen true, as a bag containing $ 1,225:75 was found under a bench on the front porch cf tha hcusa. Tha Eick or big containing this noncr is mad of heavr bed-ticking. ' end is one that the deceased has carried for tSYcnl yean. It is pctdble that if the

deed had been committed at any other time this amount of money, or perhaps more, wonld have rewarded. the assassin, for of the many who knew Ballard well and to whom the reporter talked yesterday, none remembered ever to have teen him either at home or abroad with less than $1.000 or 81,500 in his pocket. In addition to this sum there is doubtless a large amount of gold buried at different places on his premises, but this is only a matter of conjecture and known certainly to none. Speaking of the deceased, Saturday evening, a gentleman who knew him well related an incident indicative of his habits reepectmg money. Ballard desired to purchare a piece of land from a neighbor, and while in the harvest field one day driving a reaper, the gentleman came to him and ofJertd to sell the land provided he could get $1,300 of the purchase money immediately. Ballard invited the gentleman to wait till he "drove round," and when ha returned, having thought over the proposition, be stepped to the fence, took down b'j coat, and from one of the pockets produced a large roll of bills and paid the required f 1,200 then and there. This amount of money was in his coat pocket while he was at distant parts of the field, and the fact that be carried it was known to many. Another gentleman said that he once went to Ballard to ask a subscription to aid in building a church in the neighborhood. He gave $200 and loaned $1,000 without interest Repayment of the money was offered by check, but he replied, "I did not lend that kind of money, and won't take it." The parties were compelled to go to the bank, draw the money and pay it to him. It was in this vicinity that Hogarty, Ed Btugh aßd another man whose name can nr t now be recalled, tied and robbed Patrick Dean last summer, and this incident should have been sufficient to warn Mr. Ballard of the dangerot keeping large surcs cf money about his house. Though in his eigbty-eecond jear, Ballard was ex cecdingly agile and had great confidence in his anility to defend his person and property. The murderer, however, was secreted in the barn, where it was very dark, and iook the old gentleman entirely unawares. The first shot was no doubt fired from behind, and as Ballard turned upon his assailant the second and fatal shot was fired. The deceased owned 400 acres of land, worth, no doubt, ?30,O0O. His farm was well stocked, and he had a large amount of grain, which it was his custom to hoard up lor a favorable market. The funeral took place at 1 o'clock Saturaay, the deceased being interred in the graveyard adjoining the church which his liberality had helped to build. Almost the entire township W33 present, and upon the faces of many could be seen a determination that bodes no good to the assassin if his identity is discovered. I)rs. Hall it Hall and Coroner Thompson held a post mortem Saturday, and evidence will be taken in the case to day.

IKOX JJUJUWaYS. The New England Legislative Bodies Looking After the Railways Dining1 Room Card and Restaurants. The Boston and Albany will soon place in its caboose cars cases containing eleven articles for dressing woands, accompanied by printed instructions lor their use. This is one cf the results of the "emergency lectures" which have been given in Boston, the first result of which was the postiDg in railway stations of printed instructions for the immediate caro of people who hive received injuries. The Cleveland Herald says that dining cars do not pay and are net popular, as most travelers prefer to get out and stretch their lets. We think the Cleveland Herald is mistaken In the belief that they are not preferred to depot restaurants. They are better in all respects, and the fact that a man can lit quietly for an hour and take a rqcare meal does not prevent him from get ting out and stretching his legs at the next station, where people who do not know the superiority of a dining car to a fly-specked reEtaurant are bolting their soaked deughnuts and frouzy butter. Probably such cars do not pay, because many people still carry their own refreshments, and many others are not educated up to them; but, next to the sleeping car, they are the greatest comfort and convenieace that railroads have introduced. Railroad matters, chiefly on a small scale, will receive considerable attention from the four New England Legislatures now in Session. The "short haul" issue will be joined in Maine, and probably also in Connecticut, where the pressure is strong for the adoption of the Massachusetts rule which forbids a higher total charge for a shorter than for a longer distance, from a common starting point, on a given quantity of freight In Maine, permission to build one or two local reads, and to change the route of the Internstional line seas to carry it directly across Moosehead Lake will be sought. Three or fonr Massachusetts corporations asfc for legillative sanction for projects already under way cr accomplished. Sundry changes in the powers of the Eastern Iload. growing out ot Its lease to the Boston and Maine, are öeeired; and the Boston and Lowell saeks an approval of its leases of its New Hamp shire extensions. Tnere are indications m Connecticut of the usual manifestations of hostility on the part ot the New York, New Haven and Hartford Company to any and every project looking to the construction of a competing hue between New York and New Haven and the Bast. It is understood that the Baltimore and Ohio, Chicago and Atlantic, Chicago and Grand Trunk and Niagara Falls Short Line are preparing a new basis of passenger rates from Chicago to Eastern points, so arranged as to allow them the same differentials as against the Vanderbilt and Pennsylvania Lines as were in force during the existence of the old passenger cool. At present the former lines charge $12 to New York, while the latter charge $14. As soon as the agreement is adopted the rate to New York will consequently be Increased to $12 53. 6houll the rate to New York be increased by tne other routes, the lines will follow suit. The Chicsgo and Grand Trunk Road yesterday issued a circular to connecting lines, announcing the rates in force from Chicago to New England points on the following bails: Chicaeo to Boston, first clasj, limited to three days, $21; first c'ass, llmit3d, 19; secend class, limited. $1G 40; rate per 100 pounds exces3 bagrare, $3 30. The reason for the publication of these ratws is shown in the following statement: "Owing to the Eastern lines arbitrarily striking out from Chicapo rate sheet- of which this company was a signer, our differential rate to Boston la Montr!, which was awarded to us by tee höhest authority, and which was the reanlt of tirrmnt. arbitration and award, it compels us to take this course of advising you of the continuation or the rates iroa Chicago to Boston and New England points. via Montreal, as above quoted.

TBE LAST OF THE GANG.

Theodora Banta, a Kentucky Counterfeiter, Captured Near Lebanon. The Remnant of a Gansr that Operated With Indiana Counterfeiters Story of the Capture. The arrest of Theodore Banta at Lebanon on Saturday, and his return to Louisville, Ky., by his captor, Üeputy Marshall T. A. Johnson, will no doubt be followed by a speedy conviction and sentence, thus closing a drama which possesses some feature of mere tban passing interest. Banta is under indictment in the Federal Court at Louisville for passing counterfeit gold and silver coin, and is the last of a gang o! twelve who infested Central Kentucky for several years, being connected in their operations with the Comer gang, of Southern Indiana, several of whom have been sent to the penitentiary b the Federal Court in this city. Theodore Banta is thirty-five years of acre and the son of David Banta, an Industrious and well-to-do farmer residing near the little town of Nevada, Mercer County, Kentu:ky. Notwithstanding he is so young in years he is bald to be an adept in the art of shoving the queer," as also in elading arrest; for, though the Federal otü:ers have been constantly after him since May last, hrs capture was not effected until Saturday, and then it was consummated only by strategy. When seen by a representative of the Sentinel Banta made no denial of his gailt, but cxpnsscd the intention of placing himsslf upon the mercy of the Court. He claimed that he had been led by tbe arts of others into the business of passing counterfeit xrcney, and was really more sinned against tnan sinning. His captor, however, telle a very different story. He says that Banta pos teased all the advantages which wealth and position could give; that he married into one of the best families of Boyle County, Kentucky, and by the coventure recleved a large sumof t money in addition to a large farm. He sought the company of te ae?perado, and soon contracted hab.ts of like kind. He spent his time in drinking and carousing, and finally became a member of a gang of counterfeiters who were operating in Central Kentucky, mostly engaged, however, in lasbing the coin manufactured by the Comer gsng in this State. Another member ot the gang, who is now serving a four year sentence in the penitentiary, was Steve Ctfppage, an ex postmaster ot Sbeloy City and a prayiDg member of the church of that p! ce. When Coppage was arrested the little village came near rising m arms, and every man, woman and child therein was willing to stake their existence on his innocence. The trial, however, developed the fact that Capraze was one of the chief offenders, and his conviction followed. During the time that Banta wai eluding arrest he traveled in eeveral Western States, but finally came home and took eervice as a hired hand with Mrs. James Kersey five miles from Lebanon. The husband ol Mrs. Kersey is cot7 confined in the Insane Asylum, and Bann, under the name of William Thompson, was running tbe farm. The Japuty Marshal, by some means, located his man, and en Friday went to Lebanon to se cure his arrest. A man by the name ot Cox end another named Herod accompanied the officer within a quarter of a mile of the Kersey residence, when the Marshal got oat and instructed his companions to e;o to tbe hoise and make the pretense that Mr. Kersey was quite ill at the Asylum, and tbey had been sent for her to attend aim. Upon, approaching the houss Bmta ran out the tack way, one of the men pursuing and calliDg upon him to stop. He recognized the voice and returned to the ho ose, saying, when asked why he ran, that he was trving to drive a hog from the field. The two men detained him in conversation for a few momenta, when the Marshal ar rived and suddenly entered the room, covering the counterfeiter with his pistol. Hanta immediately surrendered, was baudcurled, and was 63 route for Louisville when seen by the reporter. Like a large number or criminals, isauta regarded his present condition as giving much more easiness of mind than that which he had sustained to the law for the past nine months, He is undoubtedly a desperate character, and the officer congratulated himself .that his arrest had been eflected without bloodshed. Banta is also the hero of a desperate shooting affair with his cousin, Winter Brewer, and two weeks after the occurrence Brewer's barn, with all its contents, was destroyed by an incendiary fire. Brewer made no secret or his belief that the loss was the result of Banta's en mity. In the trial of Comet, in this city, it will be remembered that he claimed his wife, who was in jail at th time, had no part in violating the law, except a knowledge of the operations of the ang. Banta states, however, that Mrs. Ccmer took counterfeit gold coin to Boyle Cointy, Kentucky, and that he received the same from her at the house of Elias Webb, who wm a member ol the gang, and is now in prison. Came Too Late. W. A. Carver, Sheriff of Miami CoLnty, 0., arrived in the city last evening with a war rant for Ira Miles, who on Saturday after noon was sentenced to three years in th Northern Trlson for stealing eeveral articles cf value from Mrs. J times, the actress Miles came here from Miami County, and the warrant charged him with forgsry. Mr. Carver was informed that Miami County could have Miles after he had represented Indianapolis at Michigan City for thirty-six ajonths. Meeting1 of Veterans. The Democratic 8oidiers and Sa lors' Veteran Association will meet at the Secretary of State's ofiice this evening at 7.39 o'clock, in regular semi monthly meeting. IIoeekt W. Medkiek, President.

In connection with the stories which have become quite popular cf the Presidents of six-mile railroads who send passes to all the railroad officials throughout the United Elates and received annual in return in recognition of their sublime impudence, the w of ul experience of one of these brilliant individuals is intereeting.
