THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEI WEDNJSSDAT MOBNINa JUNE 18, 879.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18.

Proctor Knott has not only made Hayes ridiculous, bat has added largely to the weight of infamy which he has been carrying since he entered the White House. The Burlington Hawkeye has a hearty, robust, muse alar, manly, dignified and unmitigated contempt for Secretary McCrary, the man who is talked of for judge. McCrary is an Iowa stalwart, and the Hawkeye knows him. The survivors of the Mexican war are doing themselves eminent credit by their tributes of respect to the grand old hero, General Shields; whose courage was no more conspicuous .than his unswerving fidelity to principle. Blaine is in danger of another sunstroke. He is biling for a fight with Ben Hill, and should the tournament come off, the Maine blatherskite will shield himself, as on a former occasion, by having a fit, which his friends will call "sunstroke." Major Gordon says that Guetig is the first client he ever had condemned to be hui-g. We are not familiar with the majors previous culprits, but in the Guetig case the voice of the people is with the jury and we may add, voxpopuli vox Dei. The New Albany .Ledger-Standard wants to do the fair thing, and hence withholds,' for the present, some "ugly rumors" that have "reached" it in regard to the Deaf and Dumb Asylum under the former management. That is kind, to sty the least of it. England is importing Kentucky mules for use on tramways. For powers of endurance, longevity and kicking capacity the Indiana mule is equal to the Kentucky proauction. Some enterprising Indianian should see to it that Kentucky does not export all the mules. The New York Herald is of the opinion that Grant's future greatness depends upon his retirement to private life, in which event he would be, like Jefferson and Jack, son, very influential. Such talk has about the same influence upon intelligent people as Mother Goose melodies. Miss Emma Abbott has endeared herself to thousands of generous-hearted people throughout the country by her devotion to the cause of justice in the Smith-Bennet case. She raised the $1,000 on Wall street, and it is creditable to that money-center, that it responded promptly and generously. And now comes the Kern family with a claim of $200,000,000 against the king of Holland, who by some means not yet made public, has had the use of the small change of the Kern family, since when the Lord only knows. The descendants of old man Kern are being hunted up, and will contribute liberally to send an agent to Europe to spend his money. This done, and the Kem's estate will cease, like hundreds of others of the same class, to be talked about. The Military Academy is turning out such numbers ot army officers that a proposition is before Congress that the graduates of that institution may receive $750 each from the Government, and if they choose to accept the amount, they are to be ineligible to appointment in the army tor two years after graduation. The statistics show that already the country has got too many army officers, and if the proposition referred to is not accepted it may be possible that a number of graduates, if they prefer active service, will be required to take positions in the ranks. . Accordinq to the best authority at hand, we conclude that the production of coffee will continue to be profitable. A report 3 ust published states that the amount used each year, per capita, in different parts of Europe is given as follows: Russia, one fifth pound; Great Britain and Italy, one pound; Austria Hungary, one and a half pounds; France, three and three-fifth pounds; Germany, four and one eighth pounds; Denmark, five pounds; Switzerland, six and three-quarters pounds; Holland, seven pounds, and Belgium nearly nine pounds. According to the above-mentioned report, the German nation consumes more coffee than any other. General Sxsadman's recital of facts before the Ohio Democratic convention sticks in the throats of the Republican stalwarts. The hero of Chickamauga said: I make another statement here to-day, and there Is a living witness in the Stat of Ohio who was present when Mr. Lincoln made the utterance. The first time I ever saw him (Lincoln) was after the battle of Chickamauga, when I was ordered by telegraph to report in person to him. I went np and called upon him, and Mr. James M. Ashley, who Is living, heard the conversation. Mr. Lincoln took me by the hand, greeting me warmly. He told me he was glad to see me. Still holding me by the hand, he said to Mr. Ashley: "Brother Ashley, what would have become of ns In this war If It had not been for the fighting Democrats of the Northwest?" Mr. Ashley, with a shrug of the shoulders, said, "Well, Mr. Lincoln, I don't know when Mr. Lincoln replied: "Our rebellious friends would have had their flag floating at the capltol, sir." He says: "The truth Is, Brother. Ashley, that our party Is made up, to some extent, of the religious and sympatnetlc element, and they don't make first-clatB soldiers." In the face of such testimony the Republican conspirators, with the audacity of a Louisiana liar, refer to Democrats as "traitors." But those who indulge in such stuff, the Blaines, Chandlers, et al., are well understood, and for several years the people have been demanding that the party they represent shall take a back seat. The general lone of the Decoration Day orations for 1879 showed some improvement as compared with previous efforts in that line, and the one delivered at the Soldiers' Home, near Washington City, being somewhat out of the soldier cemetery oratory, we give the following extract, which has attracted some attention. He said: "When the soldiers of the North came home they found nearly all the places of honor and emolument filled. A great parade . was made ewer them by men who had profited by their e aorta and who were willing to give them any subordinate or clerical situation

which was .vacant and not wanted. But if any of the politicians ever yet said to the returning veteran: 'Here take my plaoe under the Government, In the Congress, In the cabinet,' let the name of that undiscovered patriot be brought to the sunlight of fame. So, when the war was over, they retained their places in the front to search the record of some new combatant on the other side, and cover him with confusion in the noisy but safe warfare of congressional debate. Tne conflict that should have ended in the field la renewed In the Senate, and such laurels as never wreathed the hero's sword bud and blossom on the politician's Jaw. Oh,' shade of the immortal FalstafT! confess thyself nndone in this land of ours! Thou didst at least stab and carry on" the dead body of Percy while yet warm and bleedtng. let thy hardened cheek be softened and thy brazon brow abashed before the gladiators of our senatorial arena who knock down and drag out the moldering body of the dead Confederacy some 15 years after the war!" If Blaine, Hoar, "Edmunds el alol the stalwarts do not regard the allusion of Delegate Maginnis, of Montana, as personal and pertinent, then they must be as obtuse as a cast-iron donkey.

The New York Express places the Republican party in exactly the right position when it declares that the Republicans in Congress "have committed themselves to three distinct, important politicil issues. They have contended with might and main, in season and out of season, with all the force and bit terness they could command, against the repeal of the statutes which enable the Federal Government to use the army at the polls, and to interfere with the elections by n.aana of paid supervisors and deputy marshals, and the pernicious test-oath act. There are their three pet measures. It was to keep these odious statutes in force that they threw the appropriations out of the last Congress and made the present extra session necessary. It is to prevent their repeal that they have filKbustered in Congress and have invoked the exercise of the veto power by the president. But the Democrats have completely out-generaled hem. The appropriation bills have been put in such a shape that their passage can not be prevented.' The president can not veto them without self-stultification and disgracing his party. If he sins them, the Democrats will have accomplished their object. But even should he sign them, he will not relieve his party from the odium and disgrace of sustaining laws which are indefensible and abhorrent to the Intelligent public sentiment of the American people, and Republicans will have to go before the country branded with that disgrace." The tables have been completely turned, and the "backdown" yell will not be heard as frequently hereafter as it has been during the recent past. We confess to special anxiety to hear the stalwart conspirators defend Hayes' vetoes before the people. We shall be pleased to hear them recount the blessings of bayonet rule at the polls, of "test oath" blessings and the delights of supervisors and marshals when arresting freemen because they do not vote the Republican ticket. The Republican party of Ohio, inspired by events at Washington, undoubtedly intended to inaugurate another regular bloody shirt campaign. The action of the Democratic convention recently at Columbus completely turned the tables upon them by putting at the head of the ticket two major generals with splendid war records, who did all the fighting necessary when the war was on, and now, in time of peace, are endeavoring to close up the wounds and heart burnings created by the long and sanguinary struggle. When the war began "Charley" Foster was a healthy, vigorous man of about 30 years of age. He was a country storekeeper, made money during the war, and blossomed into a stalwart .banker. The Republican candidate (Hickenlooper) has no particularly brilliant record that we know of, except holding an office under . Andy Johnson." General Ewing, the Democratic nominee for governor, served with distinction throughout the war, receiving at the end of it the commission ot a major general. The candidate upon the Democratic ticket for lieutenant governor, General Rice, volunteered as a private at the beginning'of the war in 1861, left one of his legs down at Chickamauga, and when the war closed came out a brigadier general. Since the nomination of the Democratic ticket the Republicans announce that the vital issue of the campaign is the finances, although they have heretofore, in eulogizing the financial schemes of Secretary Sherman, pronounced "the finances'' practically set tied, and "out of politics." This, however when they were looking for the nomination of Governor Bishop or some other noted civilian, whom they fondly hoped to totally envelope and smother in the folds of the "bloody shirt." We hope that there may be but one issue, and that is no troops, supervisors or marshals at the polls. THE BENEVOLENT INSTITUTIONS. All things considered, and this includes the "eternal fitness of things," we are rather pleased than otherwise with the Journal's incessant growlings about the change in the management of the benevolent institutions of the State, thongh we take no pleasure In anything that appears like cruelty to animals. The Journal's contortions, however, while they evidence pain, are so ludicrous, its boo hoos so babyish, and its vocal gymnastics so violent, that we rather enjoy the entertainments it is affording the public, and hope it will continue its cheap performances during the heated term. It is no part of the purpose of the Sentinel to speak unkindly of the retiring officials. Their good name and world-wide fame, if they have it, is their capital, and we hope that it will bring them rich dividends of gold and greenbacks, and what is still better, honest, earnest friends, with more discretion than the Journal possesses. These retiring gentlemen were all stalwart Republicans, who were loyal to the machine. We say this in no unkind spirit. They loved their party in the days of Its triumph and strength, and with becoming fidelity adhered to its creed after the tidal wave of the sober second thought of the people had exiled it from power. We do not blame them because of this imane devotion to political errors, or be' cause they were blind to the right, deaf to the voices of reason or dumb upon the aub-

j act of-re form. These were their misfortune Those who gracefully and with dignity stepped down and out are entitled to respect for the prudent act. No calamities have resulted to the State nor to those who have found asylum in the benevolent institutions. The changes that have occurred have been neither hasty nor violent, and the public is unable to discover any good reason for the Journal's antics. In Its Monday's issue, our unfortuate neighbor captions an article upon the change in the management of the Blind Asylum, as "A Mean Cowardly Act," and ail because William H. Churchman retires and Mr. W. B. Wilson takes his place. Admitting all that the Journal claims for Mr. . Churchman's ; erudition, it - does not follow that Mr. Wilson is not his peer In culture or is not eminently qualified in head and heart for the position to which he has been called, and the Journal by referring to him as "one" W. B. Wilson does itself no credit with fair-minded men of its own party. Such vulgar flings do not pass current with educators, and we doubt very much if Mr. Churchman would indulge in that sort of talk toward his successor in office. In fact, it may be asserted that those who employ such "small talk" to. ward those charged with important public trusts, whose reputations are unsullied, are not the friends of the institutions, fcr they are doing all in their power to destroy tbeir usefulness. We have no objection to the Journal's eulogies of its frieads, late managers of the benevolent institutions. If they or their friends enjoy the fulsome flow of gush it may proceed till the end of time for aught that we care, but there are public interests at stake, which overtop the interests of individuals, and the public will not fail to observe that the Journal, to gratify its partisan spleen, ;is doing what it cun to make the benevolent institutions inefficient. Its partisan zeal has outgrown its discretion, and its puerile efforts to damage the great charities of the State will recoil upon its own head and upon the party it represents. Its invective hurts no one except those in whose interest it is published, and its complainings have no higher aim than to subserve partisan ends. The more it growls the more convinced are all furminded people that the changes ought to have been made.'

PERSISTENCY. When the public interest seems to demand it we never hesitate to keep pressing the same topic until we secure for it the attention it ueserves. On subjects ot first magnitude we regard iteration as a duty, and, like the ancient prophets, we "cry aloud and Bpare not" until the public conscience is fully awakened, ft would, indeed, be absurd to raise the voice of alarm and send it lar and wide through the land on trivial questions; but we never thus trifle with the attention of our readers. New York Herald. The Herald's policy is eminently correct. It is the keynote of success. If reforms are to be inaugurated, the wrong tbat is to be righted must be kept forever before the people until victory is assured. Viewing the the snbject from this standpoint, the duty of the Democratic party is made plain. The Republican party has covered the land with curses. Its financial policy has been productive of untold disasters. Its wrecks are numbered by millions. It has pauperized thrift and made mendicants of thousands and tens of thousands of willing workers. Under its withering influence values have shrunk out of sight, and Shylocks have captured estates as wreckers take possession of dismantled hulks at sea. Nor is this all, nor the half, nor indeed the worst of it. The Republican party has debauched the judiciary of the country, and made the position of judge depend upon partisan fealty. It has demanded the despotic privilege to use the Federal army to interfere with elections, and utilized every form of villiany to maintain ascendency; and now, when the American people are aroused to a sense of the danger that environs their liberties, Hayes interposes his vetoes in the interest of despotism. Under such circumstances the Democratic party should never hesitate to keep pressing the same topic until the people fully comprehend the purposes of their Republican foes. There should be no let up; no back down; no hesitancy; no retrograde movement. If this is done, victory is assured. GENERAL NOTES. Senator Conklino will make four speeches In Maine during the coming campaign. Portland (Me.) Press. At Portland, Me., a horse ran away with a hearse at a funeral, the coffin fell out, and the corpse rolled into the mud. A barber's pole, two sign board s and a coach lamp weje the evidence of skylarking found in a student's room at Yale. Among the West Point graduates last week were the following Indiamans: William A. Shunk, eleventh on the list; Francis H. French, twelfth ; Luther C. Welborn, sixteenth ; Will P. May, fifty-seventh. A Professor Paschax Plant, of Baltimore, Is reported to have invented a machine for separating gold from earth or gravel without the use of water. This has been a desideratum to gold miners for many years. Several of his machines have been shipped to California. A man coming out of a Texas newspaper office with one eye gonged out, his nose spread ail over his face, and one of his ears chewed on, replied to a policeman who Interviewed him : "I didn't like an article that 'pea red in the paper last week, an' I went in ter see the man who writ It, an' he war there!" No persons are thinking about leaving the State now. The Vlcksburg convention knocked the Kansas craze Into smithereens, and our citizens are determined to live as happily as they can, and multiply and replenish the earth, which tbeycan easily do while cotton remains at 5o pet bale. Vlcksburg Herald. Glory! Another sinner down ! Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees telegraphs that he will positively be here oa the coming Fourth. It anything had been lacking, this would have more than made Independence Day In Rockvllle a big sdecess. The senator's telegram reached the committee Tuesday. Let everybody come and hear the noted orator. Rockvllle Tribune. A burial service in an Episcopal church In Portland, on Monday afternoon, was interrupted by one of the mourners. "Why don't you make the sign of the cross!" he demanded fiercely. "I am the corpse's brother, andl object." The remark caused great excitement, but the rector paid no heed to the critio and proceeded with the service aa if nothing had happened. Pope Lbo XIII. is tall and spare, with a patrician air. He has a fine head, crowned with white hair, strongly marked features, the aspect of an ascetic, with something marble like In the general appearance of the figure, His face la lighted by a piercing look, and his

smile is very winning. His voice Is sonorous, not so mellow as Pope Pins', but more powerful . Though he Is moderate in his opinions,' lie does not busk firmness. '- Ladnille reports 128 saloons; dry. goods tores, 10; beer halls, 19; hardware stores, 17; bakeries, 59; houses of prostltvtlon, 85; theaters, four; dance houses, four; gambling houses, 118; lawyers, 147; doctors, 50; ministers, five; incoming mail (dally), 1,500 pounds; outgoing mall (dally) 1JM0 pounds. California gu!ch, In and near Lead ville, nas yielded np to this time 115,000,000 gold. Ex-Govebsob Asthony, of Kansas, who takes pride in having been born and bred an Abolitionist, says that the Kansas Freedmen's Relief association is "a piece of political buncombe," and that the great majority of the people do not want the negroes to come Into the State. Governor St. John Is now discouraging the Immigrants, and the farmers say that they want Kansas to be a white man's State. ' A lettkk has been received in Washington, by Marshal Fred Douglass, from Bishop Holly, now at Port au Prince, Hayti, announcing that John M. Langston, United states minister to Hayti, Is dangerously ill with yellow fever. When Mr. Langston left Washington he was

in poor health, and it is feared that the Illness a has proved fatal. Mr. Langston Is favorably known at the National capital, having been at one time law professor at Howard University, and he was for several years a member of the board of health. His wife and family are residents of the District of Columbia. Among the laws enacted by the late Legislature of Illinois Is one providing that any banker or broker, or person doing a banking business, or any officer of any banking company, who shall receive a deposit when insolvent, whereby the deposit so made shall be lost to the depositor, shall be deemed guilty of embezzement, and shall be fined in donble the amount of the sum fraudulently taken, and also imprisoned In the penitentiary for not less than one nor more than three years. The failure, suspension, or Involuntary liquidation of the banker, broker, or banking company within 39 days after receiving the deposit, is to be deemed prima facie evidence of an intent to defraud. Tiik Springfield (III.) Journal thus sums.up the results of the Judicial election In that State on the 2d lnst.: "The supreme court remains unchanged, all the old incumbents being re-elected. Of the 44 circuit Judges chosen In the 13 circuits of the State and Cook county, 29 are re elected and 15 ate new men except that Judge Baker, In the First district, retired from the circuit bench to which he now returns, a year ago, to take the place on the supreme bench made vacant by the death of Ja-lge Breese. Politically, the suprcmejudges stand five Democrats to two Republicans, and the circuit judges, 2 Republicans to 18 Democrats, though party lines were not drawn in the election of the former, and In only a few circuits in the choice of the latter." The New Orleans Times does not like the negro emigration movement, and fran kly says; "We assert, upon the authority of the past history and present situation of Loulsiana,tbat African labor is best adapted for our crops and climate; that the present supply of all field labor Is insufficient for the development of the agricultural capacities of the State; that all attempts heretolore to Import free white laborers Into Louisiana have failed to effect that object, and that to allow the present Inadequate supply of field labor to quit the State without making all proper eflorta to retain It would expose the city and State to the danger of an Impaired production, whion, with exist ing financial embarrasments, would effectu ally destroy the present business generation of merchants and plasters." Max Strakosch, the op ratio impressarlo haa Just closed the season in San Francisco. He told an interviewer, a few days ago, that he had received there as his share of the receipts nnder the contract with Magulre, the sum of $30.00(5. He has been obliged, however, to make large payments from thH sum to his artists; but, after all, he has something left as the result of his second California venture, notwithstanding the report that the opera has been given at a loss. Strakosch says the San Francisco opera-goers are capricious. One night they will crowd the house; the next night the seats will be empty. Some imagine that an Impressarlo should give an opera every night In the week. Max admits that the prospect of seeing Pattl In this country Is growing dim. She will not come to America for anything leas than a fabulous sum while her singing commands so much money In Europe. Moreover, the impressarlo said he would no; risk all be had In the world on the venture, and take the chance of failure. On this topic, he said he once made a contract to give Patti $200,000 for 100 nights of opera in America, and she paid $50,000 to be released from the engagement. "You see," he said, "she will not come. She mhXes too much money where she is." McCarthy, the recently captured chief of the Umzuzi tribe, a tributary of the great Gwazl people, was a draper's clerk In Limerick in the year of the Fenian rising. He had a relative, a constable of police, who warned him that his name was on the Castle books, and that if he wanted to preserve his liberty he had better leave the country. McCarthy fled to the South African diamond fields, where he prospered, making two profitable Investments in London. He also contributed some readable sketches of the diamond flel's to the London Globe. Somehow or other he picked up with the natives, and being of a bold, adventurous disposition, and already reduced to a half savage state by his occupation, he ended by Joining the Umzuzia. When the chief of that tribe died, McCarthy was elected to the position, which he secured by killing, in single combat, half a dozen pretenders. He made an effort to Introduce Christianity, but failed. He has a white wife, daughter of a rich Boer, who eloped with him some time ago. The lady's father would be glad to receive his son-in-law, but the Irish Kaffir refused to desert his adopted people. It Is feared It will go hard with him on court-martial, for McCarty, as a combination of Fenian and Zulu can hardly enlist the friendly admiration of his captors. Smart Girl. Norman Spencer stole $17,500 from the Pennsylvania Oil company, that employed him as bookkeeper, and fled to the Southwest. The lobbery was carefully planned, and the thief s intention was to take a new name, settle down as a planter, and marry the Titusville girl to whom be had long been engaged. She knew all about this scheme, and was to join him as soon as practicable. A detective was set to watch her, and when she started Westward, after receiving a mysterious letter, he guessed she meant to join her lover. He shadowed her on the journey so closely tbat she became aware of his watching. At Quincy, IlL, she hired a woman of about her own size and shape, to put put on her traveling suit, cover her face with a veil, and go to Chicago. The detective unsuspectingly followed the wrong woman, while the real one went on to meet the fugitive thief. Meanwhile, Spencer had bought a plantation near Galveston, Texas, and fallen in love with a neighbor's daughter. Desiring to marry her, he wrote to the Titu.ville girl at a print on her journey tbat she need cot come to him. The Titusville girl was as q dick at revenge as she had been at deceiving the detective. She at once informed the police where Spencer was, and he has been arrested.

THE, M1STERI0C8 iiCRDER. Still Searching Tor Mrs, Hull' Aou'wina.

The Quiet Fonerul of the Victim Services In the House, and Burial as Plata- , field. New Jersey The Plamfeers Fail to Find Any Jewelry Hi " the Pipes Movement e of the Police. New York Times. "Who killed Mrs. Hull?" is the qrjeV-ion that the police are struggling with, and, as far as results go, they are no nearer an answer now than they were two days ago l't is a question that has gone like a telegsaph dispatch all over the city, and has been asked by everybody, but nobody has so far give satisfactory answer. It was a wonderful ma der.and will be likely to go down to posterity classed with the great crimes of the mysterious metropolis, not only from the view of H taken by the public, but from the detectivestandpoint. Seldom has a professional thug been able to secure his victim and leave behind him so few traces of his identity. The police are confident the murder was done by an- unpracticed hand, by an amateur at blood-shedding. Yet the only traces left behind were a swelled and bruised body, a few bits of rag, some matches, a candle end. and an open door. The most expert detective could not bring the crime home to any known criminal from these slight clues, and, beyond the usual significant looks and knowing nods, the police are just as far now from knowing who killed Mrs. Hull as they were when they first took possession of the elegant mansion in Forty-second street, on Wednesday morning. If the police force lack anything in the conduct of this case, it is not diligence, for they have been at work like beavers since the moment of the discovery, forty-second street bloomed with detectives yesterday, like a clover-field with pink blossoms. Detectives watched the tearing np of the suspected pipes in the house of the murder; detectives attended the murdered woman's funeral; detectives kept strict watch over the murdered woman's old and broken husband, and detectives followed the funeral train into an adjoining 8tate, till they reached tbe very edge of the grave. Superintendent Walling and Captain Williams were shut np in mysterious offices with mysterious visitors, the 2,000 patrolmen talked ot nothing else, and sonl the man who held the clothing over Mrs. Hull's face, and wrenched the nogs from her fingers, and singed her eyebrows with a lighted candle, is at large. The victim of this mysterious tragedy. richly attired in silks and laces, was taken to riamnem, a. J., yesterday, and laid away in a quiet cemetery by the side ef her parents. The curious crowds tbat collected n front of the house on the morning of the murder stood by it to the last, and not till some hours after the body bad been removed and tbe front of the house completely closed did tbey begin to disperse. Tbe Funeral was as quiet and private as the curiosity hunters would allow it to be. Only relatives and immediate friends of the family were invited to attend at tbe bouse, and a bint was given the day before that the services would be in Dr. Tyng's church. But when, as the hour drew near, the church doors were still closed, the crowd that had assembled there made its way to tbe street in front ofthe bouse, and there braved the scorching sun for hours, for the bare satisfaction of seeing a coffin carried from the street door to the hearse ana the hearse driven quickly away. The plumbers who were engaged by the police to search tbe pipes in the house, in tbe belief that the murder was committed by some resident in tbe house, the jewelry stolen only to pnt the police on a false track, and then thrown into a sink to get rid of it, were still at work when the clergyman began to read the burial service. Tbe sound of their hammers served to keep the crowd in the street in a state of excitement. When the funeral services began the pounding ceased, and the plumbers rested till the ceremony was over; then the noise began again, and continued until every pipe of any size in the house had been taken up and examined; but the search was fruitless, for nothing was found. The pet dog still lies buried in the back yard, safe from the depredations of the police, on account of the expense of having his stomach analyzed; it remaines with tbe coroner to say whether his bones shall be allowed to rest in peace. fcTHE SHOOTING OF MISS HEARN. Lily Dner in Her Own Defense The Prisoner's Account of How Her Playmate Wan Shot The Affair Stated to Be an Accident. INew York Tribune. Snow Hill, Md., June 13. In the Dner trial to-day Dr Paul Jones was called by the defense, and testified tbat be was familiar with the properties of chloral. His opinion was that death , resulted from tne use of chloral. Dr. E. M Tingle testified in regard to tbe use and effect of chloral, and said tbat it bad no curative property, and can only assist nature when properly used. He declined to give an opinion of the cause of her death, but thought it improbable that it was caused by tbe pistol. He said he did not know the condition of Hiss Hearn when chloral was administered. Miss Lillian Suer, the prisoner, then took tbe stand, and having removed her veil, gave her testimony. The interesting points of her testimony were the following: I am 21 years old, and have resided nearly all my life In Pocomoke City; It Is my native place; knew Ella Hearn about four years; we were always very Intimate, and a great deal together; there was a very great personal attachment between us; we were in the habit of walking together almost everywhere In the place; we walked in Hearn 's woods very frequently. (A pistol was here shown witness. I bad It nearly a year before this affair took place; I tbink I got It near Christmas, a year ago; I got It at Miss Hearn 's suggestion; Ella and I were in the habit of using It togetber; we wouki tack up an envelope or some mark and shoot at It; we would do this Just as we took a notion, sometimes once a month, and sometimes oftener. This shooting at a mark coutln ued nnul a little over two months he fore tbe accident. I was also In the habt of . hooting with Mioses Bohm, Heynan, Farlow, Merrill, and others, and have also done so with my sister Matilda. I did not have tbe pistol for two or three months before the accident. I had lent It to Mr.Corbin. 1 think I did so on the night of September 6. Tbat was tbe first time we bad taken a ride together. He brought It home tne 2d of November Saturday night. I had been on the afternoon of the 5th o( September up to Mrs. Dixon Long's with Miss Ella Behm, and we got home about dusk. X leil Miss Ella Bohm at her house and went home. I found Mr. Corbln at my house, and without stopple g to change my dress got In tbe carriage and drove off. I bad tbe pistol with me. We had intended to go Into the woods, but were detained at Mrs. Long's and did not have time. I told Miss Hoarn at her house on Sunday, I had got the pls-ol back on Saturday afternoon. On Monday nlgbt Ella came to our house. I sat down by Ella and had a pleasant conversation. Tne subjects talked of were politics, and tbe deacon suip of the Episcopal church. I also remember tbat we were looking over the Episcopal prayer book to sen what tbe duties of a deacon were. Ella remained until 10 o'olock. After stie got to tbe front door, Ella said she had come around three times to take a walk and found tbat Oorbla was there each time, and wanted to know what he was dolns there so much. I told her I did not know,. bnt guessed he came to pass away tne tiiae. Tniua un. "I'll k11 what is the matter. Llllv: Ella is lealous of him," and I said. "That's all foolishness " Ella wanted ma to go around home, with her, and afterward stated me again to be sure and come around next day. Mr. Oorbla asked where we were going, and Ella replied, "We are going In tbe woods?' Tbat waa the first I Knew he was there. I did not go oft the doorstep, and never In my life me V) the woods I will nevev a&k you to go
