THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES

Telegraph News by Direct Wire from All Over Indiana. Washington, I ml., March 9. A Stormy life ended at Loogootee this week when John McCarty closed his eyes. McCarty whs one of the bestknown men in southern Indiana, and no man in this part of the state passed a more tempestuous career. lie -was horn in Ireland, and came to Indiana In ills early manhood. From that time until within a few years before bis float h McCarty was in the saloon business at Petersburg, in this city and at ether places. Thirty years ago he killed ft man named Battles at Petersburg. McCarty shot Patties with a Derringer pistol, which lie discharged without withdrawing the weapon from the side pocket of his coat, where it -was concealed. He was tried for this killing, but was acquitted on the plea of selfSefense. guide to Appeal to Force. McCarty was a powerful man and a pugilist of no mean ability. He had hundreds of rough-and-tumble lights, and all his life his first thought was an appeal to the strong arm. Soon nfter he moved to this city from Petersburg, following the killing of Batties. McCarty became involved in a dispute with State Senator William S. Turner, a lawyer and large landholder. McCarty accused Turner of cheating him in a deal for a city lot. The quarrel led to an assault on Turner by McCarty, in which Turner' was beaten into insensibility in the public streets. McCarty was tried for this, and the jury find him $."00. Governor Hendricks later remitted the tine, and by the act made an enemy for life out of his old political friend, Turner. Where He Fooled the Doctors. One Sunday, twenty years ago, Patrick Crimes, then marshal of Washington, attempted to make an arrest in McCarty' s saloon of one of McCarty's friends. McCarty knocked Grimes down with a beer mallet, and from his place on the floor of the saloon Grimes shot McCarty through the abdomen. The physicians pronounced the wound fatal, but they had underestimated the vitality of their patient, who was as tough as a seasoned oak knot McCarty got well. Many years fol lowing his encounter with the marshal, McCarty had an altercation with a negro In his employ, and in the light that ensued the desperate and fright ened negro got hold of a hatchet and struck his antagonist over the right rye. Marked. Him for liife. The hatchet blade sank deep into the bony structure, and made a fearful wound. Again McCarty recovered, but he carried the dreadful scar for the remainder of his days, and the wound no doubt had something to do with his death, for eventually it destroyed the power of the Injured optic nerve and the grim old fighter died entirely blind In one eye, and nearly so in the oth pr. FIGHT DAYS OF HONEYMOON Man Complains That His Iiride Left II im lieeause Her Affections Were Alienated by Another Fellow. Terre Haute. Ind., March 9. Alleg ing that his bride left him eight days after they were married, and that her affections were alienated by Newton Vaughn, recorder-elect of Greene coun ty, Charles Padgett, a Democratic poll tician and hotel man of Franklin county, has brought suit at Blooinfield against Vaughn for $i:,000. Padgett pays In his complaint that he was married Jan. 17 last, and that his wife lived with him until Jan. 25. Within Lmv dnvs after the marriage, tha rorr.plflint alleges, Vaughn instituted foul." unmanly and treacherous methods to gain nnd alienate the affections of Fannie Padgett." That he succeeded in his efforts would seem to be the case for Padgett Bays that the defendant each day entreated Mrs. Padgett to leave her husband, that he took Mrs. Padgett with him to Linton m one occasion, and remained there over night, and on another occasion to Terre Haute, where they remained over night. Since Jan. 25, the complaint states, Vaughn has cared for Mrs. Padgett, Heavy Hail in the "Pocket." Evansville, Ind., March 9.

HERSACRIFICEFUTILE?

Report in the Thaw Case Which is Cruel, Whether It Be True or False. YOUNG WIFE TO EE CAST OFF Thaw's Family Said To Be Bent on a Separation. Fart of His Defense Could Be Used to Secure the Same Jerome Busy Preparing Hia Rebuttal Evidence. New Yorlr, March 9. The dc fense in the Thaw case rested immediately after the convening of court, and an adjournment thereupon was ordered until Monday morning. District Attorney Jerome said that while he haj been informally notified of the changed plans of the defendant's counsel he had come to court expecting to be confronted by additional expert testimony as to Thaw's state of mind. His wit nesses were not ready, he added, and it was upon this representation and with the freely granted consent of the defense that the adjournment was tak en. Campaign of Rebuttal. Jeromo returned at once to his office and began preparing his campaign of rebuttal testimony. Almost his first move was to have a subpoena served upon Mrs. Harry Thaw, requiring her to produce in court any letters she may have in her possession written by Stanford White. The district attorney had May Mackenzie notified to be in court Monday prepared to go upon the witness stand. Other Witnesses To Be Called. It is also said that Jerome has summoned Mrs. J. J. Caine, of Boston. who already has testified for the de fense. Among the other known wit nesses for the state are Drs. Bmgaroan, of Pittsburg, and Deemar, of Klttanning, Fa., the Thaw and Copley family physicians. The defense originally summoned these physicians. then there are three or four expert alienists he will call. Just what he will be allowed to prove in the matter vt impeaching Mrs. Harry Thaw's tes timony is a mystery, and Delmas will make his road as hard as possible. Abraham Hummel will also be called to tell about the affidavit Evelyn Nesbit is alleged to have signed charging Thaw with cruelty because she "would not tell lies" about Stanford White. SENSATIONAL RUMOR CURRENT Thaw's Family Desires to Separata Him and His Wife ? There are many rumors current of a eerious estrangement between the de fendant's family and his wife, and of the reported desire of the former to bring about a separation of the young couple in the event of a verdict ac quitting Thaw of the charge of mur der. Young Howard Nesbit, brother of Mrs. Harry Thaw, is quoted as say ing: "The Countess of Yarmouth ha3 said that she will not return to Eng land uutil her brother and my sister have been separated. "I did not know of this until my return from Tittsburg last Sunday. Aa soon as I arrived here I went to the Hotel Dorraine to warn my sister, but Mr. Delmas would not let me see her alone. I did not want any of the lawyers present while I talked to her, be cause I knew they would probably deny it. I am sure that if my sister knew of the plans which are being made asrainst her she would assert herself atouce.and not remain passive, as she has been so far. It has also been a matter of com ment that as twoexperts have declared Thaw to have been Insane at the time of his marriage the ceremony might be declared void and annulled. Under this ruling the will and codicil, in which Mrs. Thaw is left the main portion of her husband's estate, would be also Told Howard Nesbit was with the district attorney, and it Is said he will be called to the stand to testify that his sister told him Thaw had treated her cruellv while abroad in 1903 because she again "would not tell lies about Stanford White." Jerome hopes by the brother to corroborate the testlmony he expects to elicit from Abraham Hmrmel, the latter being under indictment at the present time for al leged subornation of perjury in the Dodge-Morse divorce tangle. Great Feopie at "Drawing." Sacramento. Cal., March 9. A sen sation was caused In the assembly when Rev.

'ANTED TO HID HIM

So Elisor Biggy Arrests Abe Ruef, the 'Frisco Fugitive Accused of Graft. TWO OTHER MEN WHO COULDN'T Fugitive Had Been "Marked Down" by Detective Burns. Pilots the Elisor to the Hiding PlaceAttorney Butts in and Is Sentenced to Jail. San Francisco. March 0. Abraham Ruef, the political boss, who has been a fugitive from court, has been ar rested at a suburban resort by the court's elisor, W. J. Biggy, who was piloted to the place by Detective Burns. San Francisco, March 9. Sheriff O'Neil and Coroner Walsh having al leged their inability to find, arrest and bring into court Abraham Ruef, the indicted lawyer and polftical boss vtbo has been declared by Judge Dunne to be a fugitive from justice, it was devolved upon State Senator V. J. BigABRAHAM RUEF. gy, a local business man, to discover the whereabouts of the defendant in hiding p.nd take him in custody. An order to this effect was made by Su perior Judge Dunne, and Biggy was appointed elisor and sworn in. The power conferred upon Biggy author ized him "to take the body of Abraham Ruef" and bring him into court. liets in Detective Burns. As elisor Biggy had also full au thority to deputize as many other per sons as he may require to help him prosecute the search for the missing, lawyer, and as the charge is a felony charge he may ise "all force neces sary ' to effect Kuel s arrest. Kuef a aiding place was supposed to De in or within a few miles of San Francisco. This let In Detective Burns. "If I can find him," paid Biggy, immediately after he had been sworn in, "I will bring him here, on." That much you may count SHORTRTDGE IN CONTEMPT Saved from the Calaboose by a Writ of Habeas Corpus. This was not the only sensational development in the proceedings in the Ruef case. Shortridge, rttorney of record for Ituef, incurred a severe re buke from Judge Dunne during an examination by Assistant District At torney Heney into the incompetency of Coroner Walsh, appointed by the court as substitute for the disqualified Sheriff O'Neil to "locate and arrest" the Indicted politician, Shortridge persisted in an effort to enter objection to a question put by Heney, and would not be eilenced by the court, who finally adjudged him guilty of contempt and sentenced him to twenty-four hours' imprisonment In the county jail. Shortridge, however, escaped immediate incarceration by applying to the district court of appeals for a writ of habeas corpus on the ground that no contempt had been committed. The merits of this controversy will be ar gued before Justices Cooper, Hall and Kerrigan. In the meantime Shortridge is at liberty on his own recognizance. The ordering of Shortridge to jail caused a sensation in the city. As a lawyer he is well known throughout the state. To the Associated Press Shortridge said: "The action of Judge Dunne is an outrage, committed not no much upon myself as upon the legal profession and the citizens of California. The law expressly provides that 'a defend ant has the right to be heard by coun sel,' and the objection sought to be made by me, and to which Judge Dunne took such indignant exception, was offered by me in the interests and behalf of Abraham Ituef, my client. My conduct, instead of being 'boister ous and offensive,' as stigmatized by the court, was precisely opposite.' Judge Dunne said: "Mr. Shortridge brought his punishment upon himself. In the matter of examination of the coroner he had no more standing in the court than the merest spectator. The examination of the coroner was not a part of the trial of Abraham Kuef, but was a indiefni inauiry by

mi v

the court to determine whether a public official had performed his duty. Mr. Shortridge was in court as the legal representative of Ruef, not of the coroner." TALKED IT TO DEATH British Commons Thus Treats a Bill Granting Full Suffrage to Womankind. London, March 0. The bill to extend the right of suffrage to women

was defeated in the house of commons, where it was talked to death without coming to a vote. The supporters of the bill made- a determined attempt to secure a vote, but the speaker declined to accept it motion of closure and the sitting of th house was closed automatically, the bill thus being killed for the present session. The result was not surprising, even to the suffragists themselves, as some of the strongest sympathizers of the women's cause realized that the question was not ripe for legislation ajid that parliament was not in a position t deal witlt the question until it becomes n definite issue at a general election. SM00T WARMLY WELCOMED Citizens and Students Meet Him at Provo, Utah, and He Holds a Reception. Trovo, Utah, March 0. When Senator Reed Smoot and party arrived here from Washington many citizens, a large delegation of students from Brighaw Young university, nnd a brass band were on land to aid in giving a wel come to the senator. The senator ana Mrs. Smoot were taken to the univer sity, where an informal reception was held.
