AN IMPORTANT WITNESS

In the Michaels Murder Trial Located In Jasper County and Sent to Logansport Monday. Sheriff Hoover went out to Thomas Spencer's in Milroy tp., Monday, in response to hurry-up instructions from Logansport attorneys that morning and subpoenaed Everton Arick, who was working for Mr. Spencer, as a witness in the Michaels murder trial now on in the Cass circuit court, mention of which is made in our state news columns. Arick was an eye-witness to the shooting, it seems. He was working on the Michaels Jarm helping thresh at the time. He had been pitching in the field and had just come up to Michae’s and his tenant, Pippinger, and heard a part of their quarrel -and saw the two shots fired by the former which resulted in Pippinger’s death in a few moments. Arick was hurried to Monon and went to Reynolds on the 11:19 train, where he made close connection with the Panhandle and reached Logansport soon after noon. Pretty quick work that.
