POOLE’S BROTHER VISITS HIM.

William Poole, the eldest and only surviving brother of John Poole, who has lived many years in Wabash, Indiana, came yesterday and visited his brother John who is now in jail charged with the killing of Joseph Kemper. At the death of the father, William Poole took his brother John to raise. He was ever a strange boy. His great trouble, he said, was his greed. They talked yesterday in jail and both were much effected. In the evening William Poole was taken out to the Poole farm. He will assist his brother to the extent of his ability in the hour of need. He expressed himself as deeply gratified with the feeling and action of the community toward his brother. The body of Joseph Kemper was disinterred yesterday by the county coroner and the flesh was separated from' the bones which were retained by the coroner and the flesh re-interred. The head had been separated from the body by some sharp instrument. The coroner, with the assistance of Dr. Cook, will try to restore the broken skull into a complete whole. The State’s officers have refused Elmore Barce permission to look at the bones found on the Poole farm. Mr. Barce is much stirred up about it. Perhaps he will ask the for an order. Ml*. Barce is a man of many resources.—Fowler Republican.
