After considering over- night tbe guilt or Innocence of Jfuifs Callahan, the Jury announced Sunday inorulng that he had uo part In te kidnapping; of Edward Cudaby Jr. Tbe verdict wn au evident surprise tor tbe court, ami Judge Baker express ed bis dlaguat In emphatic terms, Callahan wat Immediately arrested on two oilier count which the state la Hot bow prepared to way will be made tfie of. as no new evidence la at band atd the ezpeuse of Koiug over the found again la considerable. Tbe Jflry notified Judge Baker at 9 a. m. that It bad settled upou a verdict. Attorneys and other Interested persons, about 3 In ail, were waiting when the 12 men died into the courtroom. Callahan occupied his usual aat and betrayed uo apprehension as t tbe outcome. Ills face was a blank as be watchvd the verdict unfolded and read. As the words "Not guilty" were pronounced, however, Callahan hflf rose to bis feet and smiled. Ills relief found uo sympathy among tbe audience, however, and be turned bis eve gratefully toward the jury. Judge Baker atudied the wording of tb verdict for several minutes In silence, as though be had doubted the evidence of bis ears. Then be rebuked tbe jury severely. "II Callahan bad wade bis own choice of a Jury," said Judge Baker, "he could not have selected 12 men who could Lave served I him more faithfully. If the state had made tbe selection, I know of no men If could have named who could have been less careful of its interests. Tbe Jjury Is discharged without the compliments of the court, and the prisoner is likewise released, as to this trial, I presume to continue tbe criminal practices which you bave failed to check. . do Dot know what motive actuated you In reaching this decision, but I hope nose of you will ever appear again la this Jury-box." vmf'zJprv was evidently 111 at ease uwriuer ainBSnsiwiMMMiMH make any response and tiled rapidly from tbe box as soon a it was at ltbtsv lak tki hallway Cauuliaa mumbled bla thanks and shook the Jurymen's bauds. The officers of the court looked ou with contempt. Chief of l'olice Donohue will urge Mr. Cudahy to withdraw the reward of I5.UU0 offered for the arrest of Pat Crowe. "Crowe might easily make an appearance and claim the reward himself." he said, "as the evidence against hiiu Is uo wore direct than that against Callahau. fln my 18 years of experience with criminals, I bave never heard more absolutely convincing evidence pre sented than that presented against Cal laban. There waa not a single flaw In tbe testimony, and tbe evidence of guilt was overwhelming. From tbe Information I bave secured as to tbe - sentiment of tbe Jury, I believe that this decision waa baaed largely on the theory that tbe victim of the af- . fair was a wealthy man and as such be la able to suffer. Two of the jur- , ore, I am informed, expressed their opinion that bo kidnapping bad ec- , curved, and they bad taken their oatb as Jurors with this conviction in their naiads. "I do not approve of any reward being offered in a case of this kind, and believe that It operated In tbe Callahan trial for the acquittal of tbe accused. Several times I heard the expression that the police bad simply concocted a plot to send an innoceut man to the penitentiary In the hope of securing the reward." It la under- . stood, however, that the $50,000 reward offered for tbe conviction of the three men concerned in the crime will stand. Went Tbronssj the Culvert. ' Pekin. April 29.

Is Acquitted of the Murder Of Mary Farwlg. Tbe jury in tbe case of Dr. Leach of Muncie have acquitted him. This was the second trial of the

case. Ieacu was alleged to nave committed tbe crime at tbe institu tion of John Diehl of Anderson, who is now in state's prison. The jury deliberated all night. The first ballot was six for acquittal and four for conviction, ibis vote stood until af ter the jury had slept a few hours When voting was resumed tbe first vote showed the result of former bal loting, but soon changed and the ver diet was reached of not guilty. It came as a surprise in most quarters, for at tbe former trial tbe jury disa greed, with nine for conviction. Tbe change in the verdict is attributed to the fact that the defecse introduced twenty character witnesses who rep resented Muncie business and professional men. After tbe verdict the defendant, with eyes tilled with tears thanked each juror personally. Dr. Leach is nearly sixty years old and was special health officer in charge of Muncie's small-pox epidemic a few years ago when the city was cut off from the outside world.

An employe of the Panhandle, who generally knows what he is talking About, says the Panhandle is already preparing to put on motorcars b tweea here and Indianapolis, and he said they would have them running by the time the traction line was completed or before. There will be trains of this character each way every half hour between here and Indianapolis, similar to th - ones they are running at Atlantic City.

Large Crowd Present ana we er and vices Very Impressive It Their ; ConsecratIon.( - The consecration of the bells at St. Andrew's church yesteday was a verv imrtre&sive occasion. In the morning there was a class of sixty confirmed, one of the largest con firmed in this church for some time. The Rt. Rev. Bishon O'Donahue of ficiated. ' " In the afternoon, after vespers, tbe consecration of the chimes took place. The bells had been nlaced en tempor ary supports on the walk at the side of the church and here the tuncwon was performed in the presence of vast crowd of people. Vhe Rev. Father Boell Dreached a sermon in irmin Then th hoi le WfT Washed and annointed with oil by tlSeTbTSBep assisted bv liev- Father McMuuen, Kev. Father Coulter and liev. rather Engelbert. Each bell is named after a saint, and tbe names are cast ou the bells. The ceremony closed with a sermon by tbe bishop.

A Doctor Sent There for Sending a Claim Out of the State UB Garnlsheed. f , v The first case on record of ' putting a man in jail for trying to co If ct a debt in this state occurred Saturday. Tbe garnishment of wages for debt was pushed to such an extent a few years ago that it wa found to be necessary to protect the debtor by special laws on the subject. As it was, the man owing the bill Vas too much at the mercy of the person he owed, since the claim could be put in tne hands of i ersons out of the citv and wLo w re pitiless and would hound the man they got after to the verge of insanity or suicide. This would be especially the case with railroad men, who could be earnisheed almost anywhere, and no matteifthow unjust tbe debt it would be cheaper for them to settle than to lay oif to fight the case. There were two laws known as the statutes against oppressive gar nishme iter One protects tbe person owing tho ti.Li,y providing that claims shall not ae sent out of the state for colc?ion state foi' the purposes of c.iW-,ikni when ail the parties reside ia the state, as it deprives the party owinj; the debt of the right of exemption under the laws of the state. The state law gives a householder 00 of exemption and provides that wages cannot be attached unless the claim is over $25. Prosecutor Bjnd says that he is always willing to help prosecute any who violate this law, but that while he , has had several cases he could never get sufficient evidence to convict and has had to drop them. There are few states now where the cases cm be brought, as most of the states have laws similar to our own; but West Virginia does not have these laws for the protection of debtors and one G. O. Smith of Wheeling seems to be doing a good deal of this class of collection, mainly off railroaders on lines ruuning into that state. Dr. Thomas H. Bryant, a colored doc tor, recently came here from Louisville. He had a claim of $b'.5U against lanna Thomas, employed in the Panhandle freight depot. Thomas claims he has paid about half of it. The doctor is going away, and put the claim in the hands of Smith for garinsbetnent. He was arrested Saturday on complaint of Thomas. He plead guilty, but said he had not assigned the claim, only sent it out of tbe stat. for collection, and had received notn ing. He was lined $20 and costs and in default of payment was sent to the jail for 30 days. Circus Grounds. The circus will go on the lot on north nineteenth street, from last accounts. They had a lease on both those and the south fifteenth street grounds, which left the matter in doubt; but it is now announced that tha first location will be taken. They come here from Indianapolis.
