LATE

EVIDENCE.

The following are the proceedings from Friday noon to the closing of the case which were omitted in Saturday's issue.

The first witness was CHARLEY ST. CLAIR. He testified that he lived in Terre Haute in July 1875. Has been married five years. Firt heart! of the Long Point murder on the morning of the ninth ot July at about half past four clock. He received the information from his wife. He slept at home on the nigh* °fthe 8th and got up about four o,clock and went to the Fair grounds in company with Bill Carr the Fair grounds about half past seVen and rode into town in a skeleton wagon tint he had borrowed from Henry Baker, I met Mr. Vandever and stopped and talked with him a few minutes. He told me of the murder but I told him I had already heard it from my wife. I left the Fair grounds with my property on the 14th of July and went to Martinsville Indiana returned to Terre Haute between the eight and twelfth of August. 1 never knew that I was suspected, of having knowledge of the murder till, Mr. Hazen came to me in Richmond Indiana, along about the 29th of July. I saw Jacbob King {the foreman ot the shop where the armor was made] for the first time on the 221I day of last February. I don't know where his shop is Indianapolis. I saw him and a man who registered as Col. Whittlesey, U. S. A.i at the National House. The latter was O'Haver. Carico came into the Na tional House saloon and said St. Clair "I WANT TO S"EE YOU."

I went cut and said do you want a carriage. At that time I was running a hack, then this man who represents himself as Col. Whittlesey caine up and said •'Sir, we want you." I went with tnem to the jail and they locked me up. I was brought over here to Prairie City on tha 23d, and have beer, here ever since. I know Ed. Hennessey. I never had a conversation with him in Terre Haute in which I said there was a chance to make big money by robbing an express car. I heard Jennie Osgood testify a few minutes ago, in regard to the conversation between Jennie Osgood and Bain. I was going through a room in my house. John Bain and Jennie were sitting on a sofa and I heard them say something about a robbery. After awhile, John went away and I said to Jennie, "what's the matter what were you and Mr. Bain talking about. Says she, "we were talking about a robbery that had been committed." I don't think I asked her anything lurther about it. I don't think she said it was a car robbery. I never sent a message to Shewmaker by Sam Cauth01 to the fact that Jennie St. Clair had gone to Cincinnati to give us away on the Long Point murder. I never saw the hat which was found before.

In the cross examination the following facts were elicited: I never went by the name of Charles Allen or Charles Hearing. Hennessey came to my house and said that he could throw money in my way and I left with him. I knew we were doing things that were not exactly honorable, it is true. I never bought a deer's foot knife at Ander3on, and never came out of the store and showed Hennessy two white handled knives, and at the same time telling him that I had "pinched" the little knives because it was good luck to steal anything sharp. I have been acquainted with Jennie Osgood about lour years and with Bill Carr since 1873, and traveled with him in 1875

and

1876. He was helping me take care of horses. The Cauthorns were working for me at the time of the murder.. Bud Shewmaker and I were not in St. Louis together in June, preceding the murder and I never contracted for the tteel inSt. Louis. Mr. Webb and I were no together iu Webb's (the man who sold the pistol) shop in Indianapolis. I never said that there were two ways to rob a car, one way to saw the end of the car Off and another way, to uncouple the en

gine and run it back against the car. I HAVE BEEK IN THE INDIANA PENITIARY. was sent there for being accessory in a burglary. This was in '65 or '66 wxs sent from Sullivan county.

I am thirty-seven years old. I was not sen} from Vanderburgh county in '68 for highway robbery. I never told Hazen that Hennessey left a hat at my house that answered the description of the one found.

Recalled.—Testified that the Vandalia road offered a reward and the bill was introduced at evidence.

ALEC CAUTHORN.'

I am 22 years old. I lived in Terre Haute during the month of July 1875. I remember of hearing of the Long Point murder the day after it was done, don't remember just what time. I heard Bill Carr reading it on the afternoon of July 9th. I was at the fairgrounds, so was Sam Cauthorn and Colescott. I slept there on the night of the 5th of July and on the 6th, and at home on the 7th. On the morning of the 8th about half past 6 o'clock I walked out the Vandalia railroad to the fair grcund. I have known St. Clair about three years and WHS working for him at the time of the murder. Have known Billy Carr ever since I have known anj one, I saw him and St. Clair on the 8th of July from morning till they .ett going to town about half past seven o'clock. Saw them next morning about half past five or six. He trained two horses and left the grounds. I didn't know that I was suspected till the night of the 17th of January la6t. Found it out through Scott Walls. I was arrested in indianapalis. Was arrestad by O'Haver and Murphy. They took me to a station house but didn't say what for. I was kept there about ten days. I wrote this letter (the one published in the Gazette a few days since) on the 10th. 1 gave it to the station keeper to seal it «nd back it and told him to read it if he wanted to. I was brought to Prairie City on the 23rd of February last and have been before the Grand Jury here. I cariled a message from St. Clair to Shewmaker in regard to a house that he and Jennie Osgood had rented. St. Clair told me to tell them to either pay the rent or get out of the house. I think it was in June 1S76 I carried .it. I didn't state to the grand jury that Jennie St. Clair sent a message that she was

f"oint

oing to pull Jennie Osgood on the Long, business and that the message said that Mrs St. Clair had gone to see Hazen and that they going to be.pulled. 1 think

THE GAZETTE

was the paper that Carr read the account of the murder from. I didn't say to the grand jury that it was in the morning paper. I signed the letter Mary E. artridpe because that is my sisters name. When I was arrested O'Haver told me that if I would plead guilty and show up I might get away if I would tell about it but if I d.d not I would be hung. I didii't know Jennie Osgood at the tipe of the Long Point mut-der.

SAM CAUTHORN.

I am 19 years old and was born in Terre Haute. Was there in 1875 I heard of the Long Point murder on the Ninth of July. 1 next heard of it on the afternoon of the Ninth. I heard William Carr reading it in a paper. I was at the Terre Haute fair grounds on the Sthofjuly. Have known St Clair since 1S73. I make my living by riding races and taking care of horses. Have worked for St Clair and his wife for the last three or four years off and on. I have known Belle'Meissel for six or seven ears I never said to her that I went to Marshall, 111.,on the 7th of July and that I drove the team from Marshall to Long Point on the night of the Sth. Nor that I lost my cap there I never had any conversation with her in regard to the Long Point murder in my life. I was not in Marshall on the Sth day cf July, 1S75. The first time I was ever in Marshall was when the Vandalia road was completed. The next time was last year on my way to Effingham. I don't think that I mentioned Scott Wall's name before the Grand Jury I never lost any dap at Long Point was not there or nearer than Terre Haute on the night of the Sth of July. 1 never told anybody that they couldn't do anything with me till they hung the head ones. Don't know in what paper Carr read the account, but think it was a Terre Haute paper.

Rail road records were here introduced showing that St Clair shipped his horses and property from Terre Haute to Martinsville on July 14th 1S75.

This closed the evidence for the state and the following witnesses were introduced by the prosecution for rebuttal:

MRS. ELIZABETH PERSONS. I live in Te«"re Haute, was bom there. My husband had charge of the Terre Haute fair grounds in July 1S75lived on the ground. I don't know how soon after the Long Point murder that I heard of it I know St Clair by sight also Aleck Cauthorn. I know of a red chest that St Clair had at the fair grounds. This chest was taken away from rhe grounds be fere the Long Point murder, one or two days. There was a red chest and along box. They were left at my house thete by that boy there (Cauthorn). They said they were going away and wanted to leave them there They said nothing when they took them away. I didn see St. Clair or either of these boys (Cauthorns) the next day alter the boxes were taken away. Don't know how long they remained away, bat think it was several davs

ELI THOMPSON, TF.FI

In 1875 was city marshal of Indianapolis. Was in Terre Haute when King was there in regard to the

identification of two men arrested for the Lfng Point murder. He was shown the two men and a short time afterward told me that he didn't feel satisfied that either one of them was the man.

HENRY SLUSHER.

THE FIRST PUBLICATION

was on the afternoon of July ninth. We were rather late that afternoon and it was nearly five o'clock when the paper went to press. This was the Terre Haute Evening Gazette. I examined the morning papers published at Terre Haute and there was not one line in them in regard to the Long Point murder.

This closed the e/idence and the court adjourned till seven o'clock when a night session was begun.

THE SPEECHES,

The principal speech for the defense was made by Major Wilkins of Marshal, Illinois, who spoke for over two hours and it is said that a more eloquent and convincing appeal was never heard in that county. The house was packed until adjournment which was about midnight. and cheer after cheer went up from time to time. The chief speech for the prosecution was made by James M. Cropsey of Indianapolis, who spoke for three hours in an able and masterly manner. He conductcd the examination of the witnesses during the trial and brought out all that was possibly in the case, as did Mrjno. E. Lamb on the part of the prosecutor. The instructions to the jury were prepared by A. B. Felsenthal,of this city,and Judge Allen paid him a most handsome compliment as to the manner in which it had been done, Mr. Lamb read the instructions to the jury.

THE JURY.

The case was submitted to the jury at twenty minutes before five o'clock Saturday evening. The court house was soon emptied and the people stood in groups all Over the little town discusing the probabilities and expressing their opinions. It was the prevailing opinion that ths jury would disagree, and severu". bet* were made to that effect. At a little be fore seven o'clock, and while the streets were yet thronged with people, the bell on the old court house pealed forth, and they knew that the fate of five persons accused of a terrible crime, was to be decided. The whole county seemed to have heard the summons and hundreds from all directions came pouring in to

little town. The court house was packed in almost an instant and hundreds were unable to gain admittance. The usual question was asked whether or not a verdict had been found and an affirm ative answer returned. The foreman handed it to the clerk who in a tremulous voice read: 't[\fj "NOT GUILTY"

Then followed a scene cheer after cheer came from the hundreds and it was some time before order could be restored. Mrs. St. Clair was sitting near her husband aud threw her arms around his neck and sobbed. St. Clair seemed completely overcome when the verdict was announced but was soon calmed and in a very gentlemanly manner thanked the jury for what they had done. Then followed hand shaking and congratulations.

The prisoners ere, of course, now free to go where they chose. Mrs. St. Clair had rented a house in Prairie City and her husband and Aleck Cauthorn remained there, but Jennie Osgood. Bud Shewmaker, William Carr and Sam Cauthorn determined to return to use Sam's words, to

GOD'S COUNTRY.

A special train was run down from Prairie City, on the G. & M. railroad, to Greenup, arriving there about half past nine o'clock p. m., where they waited till about halt past twelve and returned to this city on the Vandalia road. The GAZETTEER returned with the party and talked to them coming over.

BUD SHEWMAKER.

Bud seemed to be too much excited to talk. He found time however to tell O'Haver what he thought of him. He went to his home immediately upon arriving and his prediction last week that he would spend the Fourth of July in Terre Haute will be verified.

WILLIAM CARR.

William says-that the verdict did not surprise him from the fact that he was innocent and that it was not natural for an innocent man to be convicted. He issmaat and talks good sound sense and says that he intends to show the people here that he can make man of himself.

Thus ends one of the strangest and most peculiar chapter* of crime in the history of the west. The perpetrators of the terrible deed perhaps will never be known. But the accused have been adjudged not guilty by a jury 01" twelve countrymen before whonr all tfee evidence was submittnd.

ROBESON.

Trenton, July 3.—The public dinner last evening to Geo. M. Robeson, ex-te-cretnrv of the navy, "*as a grand affair. 3enator James G. Blaine was among the company. Tho3 W. McCarter presided and announced that the banquet was a sociaV affair to give 'an opportunity to welcomeback to New Jeruey an* old friend. Mr. Robeson spoke principally in defense of his administration of the Navy and insisted that its condition was better no# than ever before. The administration of whichjhe was lately a part, wis defended ifis one whose acts history would •.- defend, the head of which 1 had spent his life In answering adverse criticism by uniform good conduct. This occasionjjjpi' no political significance. He Was nora candidate for office. He wa9a party man and believed in a party for political purposes. Blaine detened Republicanism as national, especially as it was administered bv Gen Grant. The protection of the rights of citizenship in every state was its cardinal feature, and a government that did not offer protec tion to every citizen in every state, had no right to "demand allegiance.

HERE is a bouquet of compliments: "There are but two fine things in the world," says Malherbe, "women and roses." Lessing exclaims. "Woman is the masterpieceof the universe." Bourdon says: "l hepearl is the image of purity, but woman is purer than the pearl." Thackeray writes: "A good woman is the loveliest flower that blooms under heaven." Balzac says: "Even the errors of woman spring from her faith in the good." Voltaire declares: "All the reasoning of men are not worth one sentiment of women." Lamartine asserts that "Women have more heart and imagination than men." Otway exclaims "O woman! lovely woman! Nature made thee to temper man we had been brutes without you." To which Mark Twain adds: "But tor you we should be nothing, for we should not be here!"

Senator Joseph E. McDonald was in the city last night en route for Vincennes to attend the funeral of Bishop^ De St. Palais who was his personal friend.

The Government is in a state of grave perplexity, and the President never slept a wink last night, thinking about it.

Semnltza and Bucharest despatches remark upon dilatory tactics of the Russians since they crossed the Danube. The position the Russians occupy is, fortunately, admirable lor defense, the time allowed by the Turks has enabled them to bring up men and guns enaugh to defend it for two davs. The situation was critical but now by occupying the hills in force the Russians have practically gained immense advantage.

He says retreating Turks were not promptly followed, and though crossing was effected Wednesday, it was only Saturday that Skabeleffyt Cassacks went to learn the whereabouts of the Turks meantime the bridge was incomplete, and the Russian force was liable to attack them in a flank from Rustichick, and Mikapolis. An access from Senitza to a place ot embarkation was suffered to remain in the difficult track down the steep bluff, and no attempt was made to improve communications. The troops on the Turkish banks are living precariously. A General's dinner has to be sent from his baggage wagon on this side. There is no accumulation of provisions or ammunition at Susterva. Sanitary arrangements of the Russian camps are conspicuous bv their absence. The atmosphere of Seminitz is poisonous and the water supply abominable. The correspondent draws damaging comparison, with the Germans in the foregoing particulars and says a finer army than the Russian was never seen but its very fineness makes more conspicuous the defective tactics, methods and arrangements.
