ROBERT CLARK,

A Brief Resume of the Evidence in His Case.

THi1. TKMTJfMO.VY OP THE TWO SONS OF THE Mr K31A N.

Evidence as to ilie €liara icr ot lb© Prisoner.

A largo crowd of curious spectators were in attendauce upon yesterday's session of the Criminal Court, to witness the proceedings of the Clark murder trial. The following is a brief resume of the evidence in the case. The most important testimony adduced in behalf of the State was that of

HIRSCHEIJ V. AND LINCOLN CLUNN, sons of tbe murdered man, and the only actual witnesses to the homicide. Their evidence was to the effect that they left their home (in the southern portion of the county) in the afternoon in company with 1 heir lather, to look after some stock in a neighboring field and that after proceeding about one hundred yards, they observed the defendant, Clark, sitting on the lence by the roadside. When they had reached a point in tho road near the place where Clark was sitting, tbe latter jumped off the fence and said he was going to shoot theirjfatlier if he didn't take back thats of a The deceased threw up his hands and exclaimed, "Hold on!" and immediately thereupon Clark

I'IRED THE FATA 1, SHOT.

The statement of Clark was, in substance, that he had been in the wooda hunting, and was about to climb the fence and enter the road, when he saw Gunn approaching that Gunn remark ed, "I will take that gun away from him that he remarked, "I don't know whether you will or not," and that Gunn started towards him. He hallawed to him to stand back three times, then fired. He stated further that the gun went oft accidentally: or that possibly he might have PULLED THE TRIGGER THROUGH EXCITE­

MENT.

Evidence was introduced to show that Gunn and the defendant had had an altercation that morning and upon this fact tbe prosecution have faint hopes of a verdict of murder in the first degree, contending that it was pre meditated.

Arthur Boyle was introduced as a witness, and asked the following question by Mr. Kelly:

Q. I'll ask you if you ever had any conversation with Clark in regard to the killing of Gunn if so, what it was?

A. I did. I asked him in tbe first place why he had killed Gunn. He told me first that the reason was that Gunn tried to take the gun away. We traveled on about a mile, and I asked him anotner question, how far ho was from Gunn when he shot him. He told me that to the best of his reccollection it was 8 or 10 steps. I says: "You didn't kill him. then, because he tried to fcalce the gun away?" He says, "No

UECAUSE I WAS MAD

Albert Kester was another importsnt wiiness in the case. The following is from bis testimony:

Q. "State if you eVer had any conversation with Clark about a week or two weeks—any time before the murder of Mr. Gunn and if he made any thraets what they were, in regard to the Gunns."

Ans. "Wall, I seen him I think it was about two weeks before Mr. Gunn was killed. I was over in the woods 'clearing,' and he came through there, and was talking to me—I didn't say anything to him for a little bit—directly he said he intended to do something before he left this country, (he was talking about going to Texas). I asked him what it was. He didn't tell me for a little bit when he told mo he was going to

GET AWAY AVITH

of

yesterday.' The advantage of getting a large number of the leading newspapers of the country either on the day of publication or soon alter, in time to be of bse U» us will be readily seen. It is an advantage which all afternoon papers have over their morning cotemporaries.

Resolution of Condolence. At a special session of Terre Haute Council No. 8, Order of united American Mechanics, held Friday morning, Feb. 4, at their hall, the following preamble and resolution w— unanimously adopted:

Whereas, it has pleased God in his divine wisdom to remove from time to eternity our late friend and brother, Benjamin F. West. Therefore be

two or three of the Gun family before be left. He didn't say he allowed to kill them, or any thing of that kind. I told him be mighi get caught. He said he would dodge around 2 or 3 weeks before he went to Texas."

The defendant in his testimony made a flat denial of this statement. A large number of witnesses besides these were introduced, but tbe above is the gist of the testimony introduced. TO-DAY'S PROCEEDINGS—OPENING OF

MR. KELLY.

On the reassembling of court this forenoon, Prosecutor Kelly arose and proceeded with his urguraent to the jury. He recapitulated the evidence in the case, beginning with that of the two sons of the dceased. He argued that, they being the only eye-witness-es to the murder, their testimony should be well weighed by the jury, and should be accepted by them against that of the defendant, who was swearing for his liberty and perhaps for his life. He dwelled with especial emphasis upon the threats made by Clark before the murder, upon which testimony be perhaps has an idea of securing a verdict of murder iu the first degree.

Prosecutor Kelly was followed by ATTORNEY KNOX, who based his argument upon the hypothesis that the statement of Clark was tho correct version of tho affair and that the testimony of Kester, in relation to the threats was not worthy ol belief, several witnessos having been introduced who sworo to the bad character of the witness.

At the opening of court this afterternoon prosecutor Kelly proceeded with the closing argument for the defense. Both Mr. Knox and Mr. Kelly are entitled to a great credit for the very able manner in which they havo conducted this trial. Both have made all which could be made out of the evidence. And the case must be decided upon its merits.

The prevailing opinion seems to be that the result will be a verdict of manslaughter, or at the worst, of murder in the second degree.

"Pence's Pandemonium*" In tbe Prarie City.

The following from the .ludiauapolis Sentinel, of this morning, i3 the statement of one of the gentlemen referred to iu the GAZETTK of Monday la3t. in connection with tho expose of the medium at Peucea Pandemonium:

After the seance the others) privately expressed tnemselves dissatisfied, and suggested, as the medium had all of the conditions on her side, we should secretly impose conditions of our own, so then we—T. H. McCoy, Capt. S. P. Mooney, D. F. Overholt, Dr. L. D. Higgins, of Pana and myself—entered into a, conspiracy to detect tbe medium. We repaired to a drug store and purchased some lampblack. At night we severally put a small package in our pockets and repaired to the seance hall, which was now in an upper room to accomodate tbe large audience that had assembled, I, as almost one of the last elect, was given

A PKOMJNENT SEAT IN FRONT, and the others were seated near. Our object in procuring the lamp black was to well blacken our fingers, and, as the spirits were good, sociable eouls, fond of hand-skaking, they would necessarily take a portion of the black', and we should easily tell who was personating or playing spir* its. We determined if, after the show, the medium could show''white and unspotted" hands, to then and there avow our belief in spiritulism, and humbly ask the spirits pardon. It was a very fine night for manifestations, so they said, and it was not long before "Belle," one of the medium's controls, came out and perambulated the stage shaking hands with the old chiefs. I solicited the honor of a shake I was honered, and gave her the best I had in the box, and sat down quaking in my boots at the great crime I had done.

Others soon came out, and, at each hand shake, I gave renewed dose. So soon as the lights were turned up I mounted the platform and approached the medium, who found rubbing her eyes the transitson from darkness to the light being too great for her. I asked her to please show me her hand. She mechanically put it forth, and I found it as black as the ace of spades. Great heavens! how that womau looked! I sincerely pitied her, and told her she had better hide her hands and make a hasty exit.. Before she could act on the suggestions others bad seen her hands, and it was too late, There was tbe greatest EXCITEMENT

AMONfi

THE FAITHFUTJ.

Some of the jealous ones even tried to explain how the spirits being materialized from the medium's organism would necessarily impart to her what they receive but to my mind this was too transparent. It soon became too warm, so we, the guilty ones, left, nor stood upon the order of our going, but quickly slipped out of the door. When we conspirators had gathered together in the boarding house there was an uproarious time. Mr. Foster, coming in. even had the hardihood to say the medium was not guilty, that thespirit's had blacked her hands. When I related my previous experience with her he visibly weakened, and I doubt not he now marks her down a fraud. So ends my investigation of the phenomena of spiritualism. I am thoroughly disgusted with the whole subject. You know my previous experience with Mrs. Kegwin, Mrs Hollis and Others, anb I now unhesitatingly denounce the who thing as a cheat and a fraud of th darkest dye, and cling to the only true philosophy of "One God and the universal brothorhood of man." This is my creed from this time henceforth and forever. I hope you will profit by my experience, which has been obtained after years of patient investigation and a considerable outlay of time and money. As to what should be done with such characters I do not say, certainly something, as they are leading many souls astray and ruining them for time and eternity, Ever yours with respect. G. -!. W.

Amnsements, BUFFALO BILL.

Of all the shouting, tearing, rip-roar-ing shows that ever visited the city of Terre Haute, the Buffalo Bill, and Texas Jack combination completely takes the reg off the bush. And of all the shouting, bellowing, whistling, yelling, rip-roaring audiences ever assembled in the Opera House, tho one which was present last night, casts its predecessors completely in tbe shade. Long before the hour for the opening of the doors, the stairways and lobby of the Opera House, were crowded with.an anxious crowd of men and boys, fighting for a place at the ticket office window. When the doors were opened, the gallery and family circlej rapidly filled up, until net even standing room was to be had in either place. The parquette and dress circle were comfortably filled.

The performance began with the farce of "The Widow's Victim" with the peerless Morlachi in the cast. She sang well, and did some graceful dancing. Mr. Graham as the stage struck barber, was very funny.

Then came the great drama of, "Life On The Border," with Buffalo Bill and Texas Jack in the cast. The drama, as might have been expected is trash. It is full of improbable and absurd situations. But it a rives the gallery gods into anj extacy of delight, and they howl and yell at every point, until one might imagine himself in hades.

Of course no one expected that Buffalo Bill or Texas Jack could act. but with the three or four years experience which they have had they might be expected to do much better. Of the two, Texas Jack is tbe most graceful and easy in his carriage, and most natural in reading, but neither of them can act better than any well drilled amateur. There are two well drawn characters in the peice. Those of the Quaker, and Old Sloat, tho hunter. The former is greatly overdrawn, ot course, but that makes it all tbe more amusing. Both parts weer weli played and created great mirth in the audience, "Arizona John" is a fraud. He is uone other than John M. Burke, an old professional, who has besn business manager for Buffalo Bill A Texas Jack since the organization of their troupe. The entire support was good and gave satisfaction to all. However small the merit of this organization may be, it is an undoubted fact that they are making more money than any other show on the road, aDd consequently are able to snap their fingers at the "artists" who snear at them, tv

Miss Nellie Van Keusen, ot Paris, 111., who has been visiting Miss Minnie Neal, has returned home. "G. B. W." a Clarlcsville, Tenn., correspondent of the Indianapolis Sentinel and one of the parties referred to in the GAZETTE several days ago as having caught Mrs. Stewart of Pence's Phandemonium through a simple dovice with lamp-black, writes a two column card this morning giving highly interesting details of the affair.

Mr. L. A, Hoot, of Hoberg, Hoot A Co., will arrive hero on Friday next, at which time the invoice of the goods in the store will be taken. The clerks have been at work on the goods for sevoral days, aud bave it so arranged that the store need not be closed but a single day. This house has done one of the largest businesses during the past year of any house in tbe western part "of Indiana, and the result of the closing up of tbe books cannot lail to show handsome results. Mr. Root is now at the branch Fort Wayne house, taking account of stock.

Miss Minnie Magner, of Paris, has returned. Mr. James Hunter has settled his currency question by issuing a currency to meet the demand of trade. Rather it is calculated to increase the demand of trade. It is a finely gotten up bill with the cut oi' a pair of suspenders on it.

A Burglar.

A burglar sntered the grocery store of Harrison & McComb, just out side the city limits on the Prairieton road last night and proceeded to help himself to the valuables therein. The inmates of the house beard him however, and soon surrounded and took him prisoner. He was brought to town and turned over to Sheriff Carico. His trial will be presented to the Grand Jury to-day.

The Burglar's name is Arthur Trader. His case was presented to the Grand Jury to-day, and he will probably be indicted.

Surgical Operation.

Dr. William Pure rformed, day before yesterday, a surgical operation on a gentleman named William Allen, at Effingham, which deserves mention as a remarkable instance of skillful handling of tbe instruments. For a number of years, Mr. Allen has with pain felt that a hard, rock substance was being formed in his bladder,but as he was very poor, and the case was a most difficult one, he could not get any physician in his neighborhood to undertake its removal. This operation was performed by Dr. Purcell, of this city, day before yesterday. The formation was as large as a peach stone. Mr. Allen is now in a lirst-rate condition.

The Orr Case.

From tbeSullivau Democrat. A preliminary investigation of the Orr assassination case was held at Paxton last Saturday before Esquire Howard. Dr. Orr was unabie to be piesent as a -witness, and we presume ieeliog doubtlul of having enough evidence to justify the magistrate in putting the accused under bonds to ap pear at court, the prosecution was dismiss ed. Lamb and Wolfe appeared for the State, and Coulson for the delense.
