WITNESSES FOR THE DEFENSE. The Trogress of the Opera Houts SUot Trial at Lafayette. Lafayette, March 30. Special. The defense in tho Murphy case besran the examination of its witnesses today. Austin L. Kumlor, attorney, made the opening statement. He said the defense would not deny that there had been a riot at the opera house and that weapons had been discharged, or that Murphy was present, but would prove that the defendant had not discharged a pistol on that occasion. A number of witnesses were examined, and all testified that they did not see Murphy shoot on that occasion. Dr. Samuel S. Washburn and Dennis T. Sullivan, two of the members of the police committee of the city council, and who made an investigation to ascertain the conduct of certain policemen at the riot, were called to impeach Frank B. Moore, a witness for the state. Dr. Washburn was also questioned as an expert and declared that the hole in ltudolph's white f-hirt was not made by a bullet. He was not so eure about the one in the andershirt. Fred Lrb, the well-known wing shot, wa3 caliad &3 an expert and gave it as his opinion that the holes in Rudolph's shirts were not made by bullets. Lafayette, March 31. Special. B. J. Murphy, the defendant, was tho principal witness in the case today. He said he did not carry a pistol to the opera house that night and that he did not fire a shot. lie said he was carried out of the theater in tho stampede and that he helped out a lady who had fainted. Several witnesses were introduced to imneach different narsons. Charles A. Smith testified that he had a conversation on the etage with Rudolph after the shootin? and that the latter declared in substance that he was not shot. The defense has closed its testimony and the state is all through. Judge Langdon has two questions to decide tomorrow, one of them being the admission of an article contributed by Rudolph to the Patriotic American, and then the argument will begin. George P. Haywood, for the state, will make the first speech. EDWARD ENOCHS' CASE. II Persuaded Uts Mother to Ahl II lm and The n Kobhed Her. Columecs, March 31. Special. The absconding of Edward Enochs has been already told in Tin Sestixeu It is a sequel to a pad story. Some months ago he persuaded his mother to sell a little borne, all the property ehe had, and give him the money to go into the grocery business. He represented to her that plenty of money was to be had in the grocery business, and that if she would loan him $1,00 he would purchaso the Brockmann store ana would then pay her back at the rate of f 100 a month. She sold br little horse for $040 and gave him a cMck for $100. all the money she had, and the burchase was made. Matters went along all right for a month or so, but Ed paid no money to his mother as he had agreed to do, and she finally called on him to state why he was not livioj up to his con tract This seemed to make him mad, and if reports are true he began to run down his stock of goods. What he did

with his money is not known, but he is supposed to have pocketed at least -100. His sited mother was seen yesterday by the Republican representative, to whom ehe said: "I have but little to say. My son hat robbed me of my home and my heart is broken." Among other things ehe said that she had feared for some time that all was not rieht, and had spoken to Ed about the matter, and she believed that this hastened his departure. It is certain that Ed Enochs intended to leave the city without letting his mother know when he went or where he had cone. This is clearly shown In a letter written by Enochs to his clerk, Daniel Ryan. Any one who would read the letter would make up their mind at once that Ed Knocks was no business man, and it is quite certain that he could not have persuaded anv business man that he on a $1,000 investment would be able to pay his'mother $100 a month until the debt was paid, and still continue in business. THE ICE CREAM STORY. now a ?Ian Gained Seventy rounds Within a Few Manths. Ladoga, April 2. Special. The Sfxtix el has already made brief mention of how Farmer Tobin of this county cured himself of a serious stomach disturbance and grew fat by simply eating ice cream. Tue entire etory is worth repeating as it appears in this week's Ltadrr from which The Sf.xti5el representative takes it. A man who is run down in health, or who finds disease fastening itself upon his vitals, usually tries to save himself by pome form of exercise that yields no profit. Hunting, fishing, boating, boxing, lawn tennis, horse-back riding and swinging the dumb bells are frequently triod in vain endeavor to regain the fast decreasing strength. Jim Tobin, one of our most industrious farmers, was confined to the house for eouie weeas ladt summer afllicted with a stomach trouble that almost taflled medical skill. It was found that no food except ice cream could be retained long enough to be digested. He confined himsttlf to that diet and was soon able to take some exercise. But he engaged in none of the unreinunerative fashionable fads mentioned above. He preferred something financially profitable as well as physica ly beneficial and used his mmcies in performing the lighter forms of farm work. For several weeks ho continued this sensible course, confining himeeli strictly to an ice-cream diet. He soon found that his former strength and vigor had returned snd was able to do as much aaever an amount more than is accomplished by the average man. Since the 14th of last July ho has eaten nothing but ice cream. On that date he weighed 140 pounds, and was hardly ab'e to walk. Now he tips the beam at 210 and works early and late. This gain of seventy pounds of llenh and the complete restoration o! his strength on a diet of frozen cream, eggs and enirar is something remarkahie and sounds almost like a patent medicine advertisement, but it is the simple truth a we got it from Mr. Tobin's own iips. Tho3e who see him, the perfect representative of a man in rugged health with sinewy build and ulmoat tireless strength, would hardly suspect the modesty of hia meals and hardly credit tho story when it is told them. At the Tobin homo a gallon of rich ice cream is frozen regularly as morning comes. This work is a parted the regular routine of breakfast getting. The amount mentioned is eutlicient for the day. Mr. Tobin never eats less than a quart of the dainty food at a meal and frequently re quire more than that amount, although seldom indulging in so much as a half a gallon. He digests it readily and enjoys it. lie could probably take other kinds of food now, but has sutlered so much from indigestion that he thinks it best to leave well enough elone. Of course there is much monotony in his meals, but he contents himself with his dish of cold comfdrt, and for dessert sniffs the arojua and odor of the victuals on the table. He is satisfied with health and streath Sand says the luedicine is not bad Vt take If you expect to have Mr. Tobin dine with you, prepare frozen food and niako it rich. Scientist tell us that erzs and milk are the only articles of food which each contain all the constituents of the human body. Sugar is rich in carbon, and consequently very nutritious. So, viewed from a scientific point of view, the statements herein contained are not to marvelous, and yet the story is a strange one. BEHIND THE SCENES. Mrs. Mary Frame Sell.j's Experiences of a Glimpse Into the Unknown. Richmond, March 30. Special. Mrs. Mary Frame Selby of this city, a writer on theological eubjects, claims to have had some interesting experiences recently. She says: "Last summer my son wrote to me giving some of his experiences, and inclosed an article which gave an account of Col. Oicott and Annie Bcsant having received messages from the mahntma. For Boverai days I kept thinking of mahatma letters and astral bodies. One morning I remembered that W. J. Colvilla had said that when we desired any good thing wo were to send out one thought for it and it was sure to come to es. I had a very earnest desire to know if things I had just heard and read about wei true, and i sent out a atrong thought that I might know the truth. Suddenly a friend, who had presented me with Swedenborg'a 'Heaven and hell' before he left the body, came to me with Swedenborg and they paid: " 'Get the book and we will talk with you.' "I had never cared to read it before, but I obeyed gladly and torn v surprise and joy the book was opened by a power not of myself at the chapter. 'Writings in Heaven.' The first words that met my eyes were, 'Once a! so a little paper was sent to me from heaven.' As I read wo held sweet converse and I was perfectly satisfied. Later the thought came tome that if Swedenborar, Annie Besant and Col.. Oicott had received such things why should not 1? The thought was sent out and the message came c.ur and plain. Now I talk with the saints and spirits of the resurrection with ease and joy. There is no vale and no river. One oiorniug the poet Pollock came to me and asked me to get his 'Course of Time' and said he would talk with ine, which he did, and he directed me to the part that is present truth in the booa. Of late I have been holding conversation with many religious and intellectual people and like Saint Theresa I can see their condition. "I feel the great necessity for a combination of forces ia the body to aid in

the liberation of those who havo passed out in ignorance and darkness. The dangers and beauties of mediuinship need to be taught, for manses of earth-born spirits hover about, ready to control any life that is open to them. "I have never sought for signs to con vince me of the reality of the lite here

after, but I cannot express the delight I ! find each day in holding conversation ! with those who have left the physical bodv." ' t -a . AN OLD SETTLER'S TALK. Spring in Indiana .Nearly Half a Century Ago. Noelesyille, April 2. Special. "I believe our springs are receding rather than advancing," said ex-Congreesman James L Evn3 to a Sentinel reporter today. "Forty-five years ago," continued Mr. Evans, "we bad no such backward springs as we have now. It was that lone ago and at exactly this season of the year that I was married, and remember the weather very distinctly. Then I lived in a 6mall town called Augusta, Marion county, Ind. The peach trees and dogwoods were in full bloom, the grass furnished good picking for the hungry cattle and wild flowers in profusion were in bloom cn every hand. Johnny jnmpups as the boys called them never up, snd all nature was budding with new life. The young juicy grass furnished sustenances to many animals ofa grazing nature, and the growing oa!s could be 6een acro?s a ten acre field. All this was change, however.by a biting frost which came May 12, 1843. Vegetation waa blighted, trees were denuded of their foliage, the wheat which was jointed became wilted and gressy and was killed, and the fruit all perighed." Here Mr. Evans related a rather amusing story concerning Commissioner Shryock, who then held the official position of a county "dad." Continuing Mr. Evans paid: "Farmers had been discouraged by the terrible destruction of wheat by the frost, and Mr. Shryock turned his stock upon hs wheat, but in its frozen condition they preferred the crass in the fem e corner. Iiis friends expostulated with him until he took the stock oi! the wheat, and afterward he harvested thirty bushels per acre from the sam fie'd, an amount which the firmer of today can get onlv by careful work, and then ofttimes fail.1' ATTEMPT TO BURN A TOWN.
