JACKSON PLUMMER A FREE MAN.

Fowler Leader. Yesteiday the State case against Jackson Plummer charged with killing John Dorn, was called. A lengthy petition signed by citizens and taxpayers of Kentland, in view of the decision of the Supreme Court, asking his release was presented. The Prosecuting Attorney, not knowing of any new testimony that would strengthen the case made a motion to nolle prosequi the suit, which was so ordered. And Plummer was once more a free man. He will go at once to southern Illinois, where his mother’s people live. Plummer is rather an antique specimen. A huge aquline nose adorns a thin, bilious-looking face. He heard the words that set him free without a word or change of countenance. His wife has been ever faithful, and they both took the afternoon train for Kentland.
