JASFKK, DUBOIS COUNTY, INDIANA. RIDAY, 6KPTEMBEK 29, 1893 Katar! at tbPoiioHct Jasper Indiana, for trans,4aaton through the mail as second -class matter. .messss....i A New Trial for Thuriuun, odga Welborn on Friday, before be ourned Court, set the verdict of tbe try Midi, afflxlug the death penalty Jobs J . L. Thuraan, for the murfr of U. C. Wright, tbe traveling paiutr. tr Kyana. Tbe motion to set lid the verdict and graut a now trial ?M sustained upon tbe ground that m oiaie oaa .railed to show jr premeditation on the part of the de Nidant before the crime waa committed. fee Prosecutor relied for the nromedilUion upon the statement made by Thüraas upon me witness stand, that wheu Fsaw Wright he immediately thought 3M oe was one or tue tramps wbo bad umea me outrage a row nours oeupon the Uuntineburir II. It. numn , tod that tie (Thurman,) then derained to arrest bim for the crime, and b did Dot peaceably conduct himself Kin mm. uuage weioorn tnougnt t it was not sufficiently shown that 9 elaDted between tha forminc of iU opinion and tbe killing, and followwen Known rule of law that prolitatlon must bo shown beforo the eetb penaltr can bo affixed, granted the sstaar trial ' j wm ww With this impression existing in tbe , laug i mina, u was not only toe oest Jmt tbe only thing his honor could do !o grant a new trial. Otherwise upon appeal to the Supreme Court tbe M would have to lie in jail till some ia next anaaer, at an expense to tbe I nnty, before be could be tried again, hll now it is likely to be settled at tbe tannery term of court. .On Thursday afternoon Thurman .rote to bis attorneys as follows : . Jail, Sept. 21, 1893. ; sirs: l am satisfied to abide y the verdict of the jury without furJier trouble. Mv coudiiloa financially ;Jaee it preferable. :'; JOHN J. L. TlIDRMAN. , s Hie attorneys then saw bim again, find he agreed to their motion for a new -rial and told the Judge be wanted it. ;rbe fact of bis being wiliiug (o bang on (Moonnt of being poverty stricken, to a good many minds is an indication of , weak-mindedaces. However it may jave been fear, as he knew tbe present lificulty would cause his name to be Wely published, and be bad told men M had worked with several years ago in Jackson township, that be bad shot a aaa in Kentucky, and bad to leave than in a hurry, and did not dare to go ue lived on 40 acre of land be (loafing to tbe Louisville Mining Co.. in I Jtsnraoa township, in a rough round lag bae, without floor or eeiliaf. or My eoa forte, or even coaaoa coareumm, for tan paet six or eevea years, ever sewoaea to nave aabitlon or v enonara to do much work nr flr My, but would rather lie aronnrl and Ulk. His life in jail is much better than he bas been accustomed to. He is hont 80 years old, and writes a fair hand, yet never bad any correspondence with friends. He aava hp marriArl lewee, and bad one boy, wbo is now liv ing in Kentucky, but that his wife died, eJnM which time ha hi a llvH hv htmanlf leid done bis own cooking. xne people generally condesnu tbe tatting aside of tbe verdict, although it lethe first time in the historv of the ooiiDty where a jury bas affixed the Math penalty. Yet tbe crime was so Atrocious it was With difficulty tha non. M Of the neighborhood vera ratraliPil by Esq. Kessaer from banging him at tbe aVl Vi t I a I A .a nm. ii is mio iQB lira i time in inis judicial circuit since Judge Welborn has been on tbe bench, that a jury bag brought in a verdict of death, ud naturally tbe Judge was taken by surprise somewhat. and sseiB tnioicims leaning rather toward

Paercy accounts ror tue new trial being

araniea. uui nis nonor declares it was aiaply a matter of law, wbicb bis oatb f office compels bim to administer. At ell events court was adjourned immediately after tbe reading of tbe verdict and polling of tbe jury, without coneluding the evidence of a witness who wee being examined in a civil action. Thurman can receive a perfectly fair trial in this county next January, and all parties should acquiesce readily in the decision of the court, and discountenance needless expenditure of time Md money. A Deserved Tribute. r The Evansville Courier of Tuesday, pays a truthful tribute to ,the character f Congressman Bretz, which is published herewith. Uis entire public caraur. as a common nrhnnl tnanhnr. nrna.

Ueenting attorney, and Congressman, has It. t f I A . i . a . a

no omit upon scrupulous nonesiy, and - hlarh sense of honor in all of hla r.

eponsibilities. The contrast between the reports of the United Press, wbicb aay be found on tbe first page of this Euer and the Associated Press, of last turday'a incident in Congress are in etriking contrast, and greatly to tbe advantage of tbe United Press. Our Kvaasviile contemporary says: "A Libelous Report. The Associated Press report of tbe Bretz incident In tbe House on Saturday was a gross libel of that gentleman. Mr. Bretz laid before the House a letter from of Harrison's fourth-class Postmastare, la whieh he offered Mr. -Bretz $15 H the latter would not have him reraov anai t a . a r M. mm Ateociaien rress ueport, as we find it In the Indianapolis News, Maes wim mis paragrapn : -Mr. Bralt's cheeks flamed and his eyM flatbed as he denounced this at t to urine a nub o oncer. Th i hers laid hack convulsed with laugh. Matr. Bretz delivered his ohininir M one laucbiai Ir eucsested that Mont was not laue enomrh." Thlt It specimen of the kind of sews

tbe Associated Press dUpousc. It is as far from legitimate handling of uewa a could well be conceived, for it conveys to the country tho impression that had a larger sum beeu offered him Mr. Bretz would have complied with the requost of the letter writer. Tothosowho personally know John L. Bretz, of course such an iutlmation will only excito indignation, for no man in his district enjoys a higher reputation for honorable and upright conduct both as a man and as a public servant. But the thousands of readers of papers served by tho Associated Press will be misled by tho libel into an unjust estimate of his char acter. This news association has always been unfair and prejudiced iu its treatment of news." Dubois Circuit Court. Adjourned for tho term on Friday afternoon last, having cleared the docket of all cases ready for trial. Several cases were continued, but it was because wituesses were not present, or patties both desired it. Judge Welborn left for bis home on tbe afternoon train.

"1 have not been sick a mluuto since taking treatment," said Mrs. Annie Williams, of No. 418 Third avenuo, although I havo ample reason to expect a return of tho disease since then it tho cure was not permanent. I was troubled with nervousness and fainting spells for seven years. At times 1 would lose all sense of feeling and become very dizzy, fol lowed by the most miserable of sick headaches. I was irritable and easily excited at all times. I at first bad those attacks about once a month, but tbey gradually increased to once a week, and became much moro sovcre. 1 tried sev eral different physicians without obtaining relief. It was a last resort that 1 went to Dra. Vincent and uigge, and i havo never felt a singlo attack since. I improved regularly from the very first, and am now entirely well In every respect.
