Onof the. biggest court sensatlops ever recorded In Fort Wayne occurred this afternoon In the trial of Editor Ridwell of the A. T A. paper on the charge of criminal libel. The trial came to a sudden halt thla afternoon when Attorney Ii. C. Reil requested Judge O'Rourke to examine Juror Joseph Hood. He said that a sensatlon had been discovered and he wanted to air It before the trial progressed farther. In answer to his request Mrs. Margaret Smith was called, to the stand and the Jury was sent out. She swore that Joseph Hood, one of the Jurors, spent last night at the home of his sister-in-law, Mrs. John Hood, in Bloomlngdale. While there Mrs. Smith paid Hood cursed Attorney liell for objecting to the answer to the question as to the number of A. P. A.'s In the comity. He said that Hell was wrong and that the crowd applauded when some one eald "3.000." Mr. Hood said that r.idwell ought to be acquitted and 1ft frcr. Mrs?. Smith says Juror Hood said: "The priests are guilty and Rid well will go free." Mrs. Hood then said: "If the Jury does not let him go free they ought to have their heads humped." Mrs. Smith then stated that Juror Hood said: "1 am better than any H;ht priests. Priests are like other men they have pa-vüons which they cannot control." He made other statements against the priesthood, the witness alleged, which were too foul to repeat. Mrs. Hod also made sensational statements against priests and the catholic church. The artirle written by Bid well made charges against the priest for Insinuating that they made indecent proposals to female Inmates. Juror Hood said the charges were true as the priests were only human. In his defense Juror Hood said positively that he did not say that Bidwell Should be acquitted. "I did not say I was better than eight rrlests." says Juror Hood, "but I did say that no priest or preacher is better, morally, than I am." His denials were very weak and at T o'clock this afternoon Judge O'Rourke Haid: "Juror Hood has rcen indiscreet. Imprudent and has allowed the slumbering prejudices in his bosom to creep out after be swore that he could give this case a fair and impartial trial. I see no other process than to discharge the jury and continue the trial till some future time." The jury wa3 discharged and the case will not be tried again till another jury ts selected, when all the proceedings will be commenced again. Detectives have been at work on the trial ever since the case was commenced. Every juror has been watched. The abrupt ending was decidedly senlational. THE LAAVIti;Ci: IJKMOCHACV.

A Romantic Story Tlint Involves Kokomo, lloston and Other Cities. KOKOMO. May 6. Special. For the past week Kate Kennelly of Providence, R. I., has been In this city In search of her five-year-old daughter Alice, who was stolen from her side, as she slept, fifteen months ago. The child is here, but is concealed by the persons who have it in charge, and today a writ of habeas corpus was secured against Mrs. Ellen Kelly, returnable next Friday. Kate Kennelly was a mill girl at Lowell eight years ago when she met Barnard Kelly, a son of a one-time rich man of this place. There was a common law marriage, which the laws of Massachusetts do not recognize, and In the six years the pair lived together five children were born to them, little Alice being the only one that lived. A few months ago the woman succeeded to a considerable fortune through the death of a relative, and she is now seeking the child which Kelly stole from her and placed in the care of his mother in this city. Kelly Is an employe of a Boston theater, and was a member of the JIanlon Superba company last season. He is now cn his way west to contest the woman's right to the custody of the child. The woman in her petition sets up that the child Is Illegitimate and under the law. If this Is shown, she has no other parent than her mother. There will be a bitter flsht. as there is money on both sides, and the aid of a society for the prevention of crime may be called to the aid of the Kellys. It is claimed that the woman is dissolute and an unfit person to have the custody of the little one. axothkh soininwFti, storv. The Suicide of Voiine MUn I.lllle Walker at A nlrshoro. COLUMBUS, May 4. Special. The community at Walesboro. four miles south of this place, was startled this morning by the suicide of Miss Lillie Walker, aged twenty years, the second daughter of County Treasurer John Walker. The young lady seemed despondent for several days, but no one thought that she contemplated self-destruction. She was a beautiful girl, respected and loved by a large circle of friends. There is not a shadow resting on her character, and it Is thought that the rash act was committed in a tit of temporary insanity. She sent a letter to the postofllce to her lover by an aunt, and when there was no one present she took about two ounces of carbolic acid and got in bed. and when the lady returned she was dead. The girl h been keeping company with John Burns, and. as Is the case, sometimes they had lovers' quarrels. Burns stated today that he saw Lillie on Tuesday, but she did not hint to him the step she Intended taking. Burns Is a worthy young man and no Mam-1 can be attached to him in the matter. The following Is a copy of the letter sent to Burns at Wtlesboro this morning, but was not mailed, as the Rill's death took place before the mail went out: AT IIOMH, May 4, 1SD-. My Roar Husband Today 1 want to try ar.il thank you for your ureat kindness to me ani ask you ag;Un to forgive nie for all the trouble and sorrow 1 have caused you. Will send you one of my pictures, so that you may not foreet me soon. Ani now, my dear, darling lover, will say goodbye and God bless you. Always vmr LILLIE. .r.t:it I, JAIL DKLIVKHY. All the Prisoners llnciipe from the W,a ft hi nut on Lock-1 p. WASHINGTON, May 6. Special. Last midnight a general Jail delivery transpired in this city. The notorious Bill Cochran, who Is implicated In a box-car robbery, through the help of confederates on the outside, chiseled a hole through the wall of the corridor of the Jail and with two others escaped. The sheriff's boy had locked the cells in the evening, but the three who escaped had concealed themselves Ln the corridor. They were discovered just after they had gained their freedom, but could not be intercepted. The bloodhounds from Seymour were sent for, but on account of the rain were unable to trail the criminals. Much indignation exists on the streets today on account of the carelessness of Sheriff Temlng for suffering his boy to attend to the sheriff's duties. Mr. Temlng is a candidate for re-election, on the republican ticket, but will now probably be defeated. This makes three Jail deliveries in Washington within four years. im.iki: nocn Annex.
