CARLESSPEOPLE.

The carlessness, the amazing stupidity of some people is sometlvng wonderful.

(One

of the best places for observing how Jignorant and senseless people can be is .jgiA a post office. It would seem almost impossible in these days when good education is so easily obtained, when such a splendid safe postal system is placed so convenient for the people, and the rules for governing the making up of the mails and for the duties of the employees are so plainly published that people should by their own stupidity lose a letter. Yet experience ri£ht here in the Terre Haute post office q^ows how it is done. Yesterday a letter enclosed in a handsome white envelope and stamped was dropped in th#» letter box—without any address. Now where is that letter going? Another letter was put in, addressed but with no 9tatnp, and another one was handed in not stamped ,or correcely addressed—three letters in one day at the this office that will never preach ther destination all by the fault of ,the senders.

It may be interesting to know that about thirty-five thousand (35,000) letters are daily received at the dead letter ""office, at Washington, D. C., all by reason of errors of the senders. That is a total •of over twelye and a half .mil Hons letters a year.

As many as a dozen letters are some days received here misdirected, unstamped &c and an average of fully 500 postal cards are destroyed atthi6 office each jmonth for the same reasons, or being in Hsome manner contrary to law. Besides J[ these are the letters that are so tei ribly, ^misspelled in the address that it-is only sending the letter to dozens of places \all over the United States that it at '^last gets to the rightful owner. \!lt ,v would immensely astonfishXv' the people generally if "they could 6ee how awfully awful some per•s sons can misspell and misdirect a simple ^letter. Yesterday a letter evidently mailed by a lawyer in Vincinne6—and -probably about some estate administration—wa6 received here, addressed to James Keltz, estate

Sue Hall, Ind. The trouble was that the name of the person and of the state (Indiana) was well written but what did Sue Hall mean? or was it Siie Hall. It had an" appearance of being •A Tree Hall, yet there is no such town or country in the state or county and that letter was apparently sent by sS a person of fine education.

SEDUCTION, CASE.

Remarkable Trial at Sul' livan.

The Brunker-Troutman Seduction Suit Now in Progress.

A Full History of the Whole Affair.

Troutman Don't Interview Well.

LATEST REPORT.

Special to the GAZETTE. Sullivan, Ind., April 1st, 1879. The Brunker-Troutman seduction case came up yesterday for trial in the Sullivan Circuit Court,

Judge Patterson presiding.

Knowing the great public interest which has long centered, and *till centers, in the matter, the GAZETTE, with its usual enterprise, detailed a special reporter to ascertain the facts in the affair.

Dr. Brunker, the father of the victim, is an old gentleman with whom doubUess^many Terre Hauteans are familiar. His residence is at Farmersburg, thirteen miles below tie city, where, he is a pioneer citizen, having located there iu 1858. He is often seen on our streets, and to thote who have met Him he will be remembered mainlj by the disfigurement of his face—the »op portion of '.he nose being mashed in, the result of an accident years ago. The family is an English one. Previous to his removal to Farmersburg Dr. Brunker was for eleven years a railway official of the railroad running across the Isthmus of Panama. For years he has been engaged jrinciply in manufacturing and putting upon the market Brunker's Carminative Balsaam, a medicine familiar to readers of the GAZETTE'S advertising columns, and of which he now supplies nearly 2,000 stores with. This has yielded sufficient levenue to place the iamily in easy circumstances and they are, if the utterances of their neighbors are to be credited, considered very respectable and well-to-do people. There are one married and three single daughters in the family. The gii\ls have always been considered as good looking.

MISS FANNIE BRUNKER.

The eldest of the single daughters, to whom fell the misfortune of being made a victim of the seducers wiles, is a young lady now in her ninleenth year, something above the medium in heighth, of slender build, splendid form and with dark hazel eyes and auburn hair. She is educated and accomplished, and i» very pleasing in conversation En possant before this trouble came upon htr and when yet quite yonng she was engaged to a well know young lawyer now practicing at the Terre Ilause bar.

THE TROUTMANS.

Henry Troutman, a middle-aged man, brother of the accused, lived with his family at Faimersburg, where he was employed to run an engine. Although he is made a party, to the action now pending, and charged with being an accomplice of his brother in a scneme to ruin the girl, it is but simple justice to him to say that so far as the reporter could ascertain he always bore a good character previous to these occurrences. That is to say that while he was never conspicuous for good qualities of head or heart, at the same time no one had ever proved wrong doinf against him. The Brunkers anJ Troutmans were acquainted, but not intimately 80. "In the summer of 1S76, however,'' old Dr. Brunker remarked to the reporter, when «peaking on this point, "Fannie visited them frequently. Every time she called, Mrs. Trout..ian would tell her of her husband's young brother,, 'Lou Troutman, who was a machinist,' employed in Louisville, making $52 per month, and who was expected out to Farmarsburg shortly on a visit. Mrs. Trontman talked about him so much that Fannie, girl-like, became very anxious to see him and make his acquaintance. In November of the same year (1876) the prodigy arrived. I never iiked him from the begining. Although he could have got steady work in Farmdrsburg, he chose rather to work about one day out of the week and spend the rest of the time running around and standing on the street corners. He and Fannie, much against our wish, spent much of their time together. From the first in fact he commenced paying her marked attention, although, knowing our aversion to him, he kept aloof from the house when we were at home. When we talked to Fannie and tried to get her to discourage hfm and not associate with him she would seem to think a great deal of him and stoutly stand up for him. "So matters drifted along until Christmas time, we constantly opposing and talking to her, and 6he continuing to go •with him clandestinely. On December 2Sth

\iSj6)

It was only one of more than a- dozen such wretchedly addressed letters so puzzling to the whole force of clerks who are sometimes kept studying for hours on one such letter for it must be sent some where.

Mrs. Brunker and myselt

were both away from Farmersburg, leaving only the three girls at home—Fannie, Lizzie and little Minnie. Knowing we were away Troutman came down to spend the day. Along in the evening about dusk, the coal bucket being empty and the fire low Fannie asked Lizzie to get in some coal. Lizzie said she wouldn't do it. Troutman spoke up and offered to get the coal

at the same time picking up the bucket and starting out. .At the door he turned and asked Fannie to come out with him, as he had something to tell hor. She went. When they got to the coal house he made a criminal assault upon her person."

Although the doctor went into details, the reporter has thought it best not to repeat them here. -What followed?" *They had a rupture then and there.

THIS TERMS HAUTE WEEKLY GAZETTE.

Fannie, of* course, repulsed him, and. after giving him a g.»'J talking to, told him never to come 11 :ar her ag tin. Then she had a good cry. routinan left uncermoniouslv. When we returned home and were made acquainted with the facts, while we felt justly indiguant, we congratulated ourselves nevertheless that this would end the intimacy between them.'"

Up to this time there had not been even a formal engagement between -the two.

The Brunkers thought it best to sav nothing about this occurrence hoping the separation between the two would be complete. The chasm, however, as after events proved, assuming of course that the accused is guilty, was bridged. Troutman, according to Brunker's state ments, continued to dog the girls footsteps to church and every place of social amusement, and continually tried to effect a reconciliation, apoligized for hi6 conduct, etcetcra in all of which he was assisted with all of a woman's ingenuity by his sister-in-law, Mrs. Troutman. At last he was successful. One night at an entertainment of the Seminary Literary society, at which both were present, he managed to convey a note through the audience to her, begging as usual for forgiveness and reconciliation and winding up with the sentimental expresiion f*Your voice follows me like a phantomi" V"

A complete reconciliation now took place, the goose once more hung high and the cladestine meetings were resum, ed as of yore. This was early in February, 1877. Later in the 6ame month a formal engagement took place. The old people from this time on threw no direct obstacles in the way of the two concluding that they would have to stand hitti. At the same time they manifested their disapproval so strongly that Troutman kept away from the house.

On August 25th 1877 Dr. and Mrs. Brunker being again absent from Farmersburg "Troutman came to spend the day. It is sufficieet to say of this visit that he again attempted to carry out the purpose he had evidently so long formed, and furthermore that he was successful, to the last degree in carrying out his design." The reporter, it should be remembered is quoting Dr. Brunken, and not stating facts on his own responsibility.

The history of the affair for the next year following the date given above drags. To repeat it would be to introduce much irrevalent matter. It is sufficient to say this occurrence was not divulged to the girl's parents that the intimacy continued, according to Brunker's statement, to grow stronger, and that the opposition of his wife and him kept in unison with it that the Troutman's espoused the cause of the young man very strongly, and by every means in their power furthered the intimacy, often giving dinners, social entertainments and so on, whereby the two might be brought together that litis conflict between the elders waxed so warm that the Troutmans brought charges in the church against the Brunkers, which charges, it must be said, proved holly groundless, and hence do not redound to the credit of the Troutmans and that, finally, March, 1S7S, Dr. IJ. informed his daughter she could either give up her lover, or leave home. She choo»e the latter course, and came to Sullivan, where she remained quite a while with a relative. Troutman remained in Farmersburg. The pair corresponded regularly, letters passing through the mails frequently, and in August ol the same year, certain of these letters, together with other information, came into Dr. Brunker's hands, corfirming a fear that had for some time been creeping into his mind, viz: that Fannie had been seduced, and was then enciente. •'I will prove more than this by those letters," said the Doctor to the reporter. "I will prove that Troutman, knowing the state of affairs and fearing the results, tried to commit an abortion upon her. I will prove that he consulted medical authority, and that he gave her turpintine to act as a preventative and that she took it but it acted so injuriously and violently upon her that she had to abandon it, and, best of all, I will convict him in black and white, in his own handwritkig."

When Fannie's condition was found out, two traits natural to a father under such circumstances, were discovered in Dr. Brunker, love and revenge. The former was testified to by his action in immediately having Fannie brought home and tenderly cared for the latter in his tuking pistol and his earnest desire to take the life of Troutman, which latter he admits he fully intended doing, and which, it is beyond doubt, he would haye done, had not his daughters together with his wife, prevented him. He had already armed himself and started on what would have proved fatal to Troutman, when he was prevented from carrying out his purpose. Troutman had by this time very probably snuffed danger from afar off, for he immediately

LEFT FARMERSBURG.

"He went to Louisville from where he wrote fannie," Dr. Brunker says, "promising at an early day to marry her. Later he was heard from at Parii Crossing, Indiana, from where he wrote again, promising and setting another and different day. This sort of thing continued for sometime, Fannie being conlinually disappointed and treated as a toy." The family at last thought they had waited fully as long and acted as leniently in the case as the facts warranted. Besides •things were approaching a crisis. "i~felt too bitter towards him to communicate with him, even by letter," said Mr. Brunker to the reporter, "but my wife wrote to him at Paris Crossing telling him that something must be done. That he could surely borrow $7 to pay his fare to Farmersburg and that it he would do so come on and marry her, I would give them $20 to pay their return fare, after which his parents, at Paris Crossiog, would start them up in' housekeeping, a proposition they had agreed to and were anxious to carry out. His reply was the same old stereotyped promise of marriage, but setting btill another and more distant date." .finding everything^ of no avail, Dr. Brunker now went to Sullivan, and laid the matter before the grand jury, who, on October 5th, 1878, returned an in

dictment against him on October aSth, a warrant was issued for his arrest January 6th he was arretted at Paris Crossing, Indiana, and on the 7th lodged in Sullivan jail. January 20th, 1S79, the child was born.

Once incarcerated in jail he offered and was even willing to marry her, but the girl as well as the family had to*t confidence in im and feeling sure such a marriage would only be the prolngue to some foul (.lay, absolutely refused to entertain any such proposition. Troutman's parents say, so the reporter is informed, that while they were willing from the start to do what was right and everything in their power, they have po money to fool away on having lawyers or defending him neither did thev bail him. consequently he is still in jail. He is indicted for seduction and bastardv, on all which counts the prosecuting attorney, Hon,John T. Hays, who has worked up the case with much zeal and great expense, feela sure of convicting him. Forty-five witnesses have been summoned, and great interest is manifested in the case. It is the first case of the kind in Sullivan county and if he is convicted will create quite a local sensation.

INTERVIEW WITH THE ACCUSED. The GAZETTE reporter last evening walked down to the jail to learn what, if anything, Alonzo Troutman, the accused, would have to say in his own defense. As he entered the half-way sounds of revelry enjoyed from the "cage" where '.he jail-birds were all engaged in singing a song in chorus, at the same time making a shuffling noise with their feet. Mrs. Dudley, the sheriff's wife, said they kept up these orgies until a late hour at night much to the disturbance of the family. Robert Dudley, deputy sheriff, opened the huge jail doors and the GAZETTE correspondent bowed himself in.

Alonzo Troutman, or "Lon" as he is called for short, is not an ill looking young man. His age is perhap twentythree, medium in hight, close cut dark hair, keen dark eyes, and a just budding mustache. He was wdl dressed and his appearance clean in comparison to those around him. He did not receive the reporter kindly, but on learning the nature of his errand invited him into his cell. "I don't care to say anything about the case," said Troutman, "more than to say that I will come out all hunki-dora if justice i6 done me." "Do you think you will have a fair and impartial trial here?" "Yes, but 1 guess up at Farmersburg the whole town is tore up ahout it, ain't they?"

The reporter made no reply, but asked: "What about the charge of seduction?" "Oh, they can't prove that. Of course, I admit criminal intimacy, but I'll prove the girl a prostitute." "How about bastardy?" "O, 1 suppose I can't get around that. All any woman has got to do is to swear a child to a man, and he can't help himself. I suppose the thing will cost me $400 or $ oo to get out of it, but that's all. I could get out of it, anyway, by staying in jail, for they can only fine me for it and make me contribute to the support of the child."

The reporter tried to elicit more facts and particulars, but without avail. "I am notta be picked," said Troutman, lighting his pipe. "You may look around a great deal bat you will not find many fellows any sharper than I am, and dont you forget it. I am not to be given away." .7'

The reporter rose to leave.' What do you think they will do with me?" asked Troutman. H'*''S2*? "Send you to the penitentiary."

As the reporter left Troutman was calling upon the Sheriff's folks to send out and get a guitar somewhere tor him, as he proposed to get up a stag dance and they must have music. He

adept at guitar playing.

THE LATEST REPORT. UR 1

Special to the GAZETTE. 1 -Sullivan, April 1st. About half of Farmersburg came down to be present at the Brunker-Troutman trial. The defendant appeared in court faultlessly attired accompanied

his

oun-el. The plaintiff with the child was also present. She testified to criminal intimacy with Troutman covering quite a period of time. After the engagement defendant told her the onlyway to ever get her parents consent to their marriage would be tc carrv out. a seduction. The times and circumstances of several were then mentioned. The following witnesses, nearly all old men and residents of Farmersburg, were called and testified to her. good character: Joel Hendricks( Jno. Knotts, Jackson Hinklc, Nathan Terry, Wm. R. Bennett, Nathan McClanahan, Saml. Gaskins and Thos. Creary. A letter dated Newport. Ind., June 8th '77 written by defendant, acknowledging the [engagement, using many endearing terms, und referring to the "only way" of ever getting married was read. Also following:

Paris Crossing, March 24, 18/8. Darling Fannie—I will write to you according

promise. Fannie I thins 11

will be the best for you to try and forget me. You can marry some one else as soon as you get all right.

Don't think we can marry. Fannie darling this is all I can think of. Are you all right? Yes or not? Are you taking that yet?

YOUR OWN LONNIE.

Also this:

AT HOME.

Farmersburg, March 31,1S78. I was at singing last night, but it was awful dry, and I told them the flower of the town had leflt. Go and see Miss —,— and stay, with her. IwilP come down and see you there *1 am going to church to-night and it youi father prays I will leave the church. From one just dying to see you.

LOZTOXE."

"Paris Crossing Sept. 1 st 78.

If you get all right I can come at any time when will it be? LONNIS."

Paris Crossing, Sept. 7th, 1878. DARLING FARTNIK—I received your letter. You say I can borrow $7 to come. I cannot, Darling. I had a job at Shelburn at a grist mill they will be ready fer me in a week, but I cannot go, for they are so close to you, would never do. If you had gone to "Steam Cor ners," as I told you, I could have come back and gone to work,and you could have staid up there till you got rid of that. If you can get rid of that, or fix it some way, I will come back whenever you write. Oh, them nights in the parlor we spent it was rough but it was good. I couldgoto work at Shelburn in a week, if things were all right. I will come back some day. Get all right. Bye Bye Baby—Your own Lonnie. Kisses for Fannie: 1

"Oct. 22d, 78.—* Far.ie, if you have a baby it is ours, and when we leave Farmersburg don't care what they say. Don't think of taking your life. What would your Lonnie do then? Fannie, for heaven's sake don't let our folks know about it. LONNIE."

The defense tried only to prove the girl a bad character and private prostitute. Several young men were introduced to prove this, but none were positive on any point. Mrs. Troutman, the accused's sister-in-law, ecame very wild and loud-spoken in her testimony and made an impromptu speech to the jury ignoring all the attorneys entirely. She testified positively to seeing Miss Brunker and a young man at Farmersburg in the gra$s in positions ot such close proximity that it would doubtless have ruined the girl's character for chastity, had not the prosecution in rebuttal proved by the young man's father^ and himself, with other?, the young man to have been in Kansas all that summer. The accused now says himself that he has little hope. Public opinion all over town is against him and many hopes that he will get the severest punishment are expressed. The cour( room was packed all day by an eager, thronging crowd, and it was almost impossible to preserve order. A curious feature of the case is that should Troutman be cleared by any technicality another indictment will be tound against him for seducing another' Farmersbueg voung lady, who has been here and is still here waiting in readiness in such case to prosecute. ^,,
