Danville (III.) Men Brought Here on Grand Jury Indictments. Sheriff Woodworth and -B. D. MeColly were down at Danvllld, 111., last week and arrested Robert J. Luke, who, with Ransom Lewis, also of Danville, were Indicted by the recent grand Jury In Jasper county for alleged perjury In testimony given in. the Colllson divorce case, which was brought here from Porter county and tried at the September term of the Jasper circuit court. Lewis was out of town when the officers were there and they only got Luke, who gave SI,OOO cash bond and said that he would tell Lewis that he was wanted here and that It would not be necessary for the officers to come after him. Accordingly, the latter came up Friday and also put up a ca ah bond of SI,OOO and was released. The officers had taken out requisition papers, but both men stated that ‘tWs would have been unnecessary had they known that they were wanted here. Luke Is an insurance agent at Danville and Lewis is the proprietor of a ten-chair barber shop. Both are said to be well connected and of good standing there. Lewis is a major in the Illinois national guard and Luke is' quartermaster. They had testified that they were -at Urbana, 111., inspecting the national guard there on a certain night and saw Mrs. Collisoh and a gentleman whom they thought looked like one of the attorneys she had employed in her divorce case, at a dance in Urbana that night. Mrs. Colllson showed by a telegram from a clerk In a hotel at Kansas City that on this particular night she was registered and stayed at the aforesaid hotel. It is said that Luke and Lewis still maintain that they saw the woman at Urbana on the night they inspected the national guard at that place, but say they may havd been in error as to the particular date.
