THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL THURSDAY JUNE 8 1875s

the defense in the matter is to establish the
fact that he is using improper means. In
plain terms they must prove him guilty ol
subornatiOn of perjury. glance at the
statements, published elsewhere, will show
how far they appear to have succeeded.
The defense seems to have obtained from
Mrs. Graham a direct denial OF the autben-
ITCHY OF her affidavit. The denial produced
from Mrs. Bergman is a curious, involved
document which has very little force.
Annie Carey avows openly that she swore to
a lie for promised reward. Mrs. Davis
has not retracted. Taking these cases in con-
nection with that of Ida X. Fawkner, one
is inclined to wonder what sort
of morality is taught at the Deaf and Dumb
Institution, when its graduates take such
freedom with the sanction of an oath.
OF course Mr.. Valentines answer is short
or and less important than that of the super
intendent. The cases covered in the docu-
ments already given to the public are sup
posed to be only specimen ones, and probably
the charges and denials will be increased
to a considerable number. The case, as
thus far, seems to turn to great
extent on which OF the two parties has
been using undue influence. The investi-
CATION is to proceed on the sth of June, and
this paper, in behalf Of the good people of
the state, would urge upon the trustees 70
their mournful task in such way
that it need never be touched upon again
after they have gotten through with it.

The Desraoa 1umb Enstisu4ion.

On the third page OF the Sentinel Of this
morning will be found the answers oil
Messrs McIntire and Valentine, OF the Deai
and Dumb Institution, 10 the charges
brought against them by John e. Fawk-
ner. These answers were presented
to the board OF trustees at the meeting
held at the governors rooms yesterday af-
ternoon, and there is now every prospect
that a thorough investigation will be made
into the management of the institution. 1t
was to force this issue that the Sentinel pub
lished the charges; and Mr.. McIntire
and his friends will doubtless now
recognize the wisdom and justice of the ad-
vice given by this paper when the former
investigation took place They are driven
to ask for that searching and open
investigation which the Sentinel
was formerly abused for suggesting,
and they have doubtless realized the fact
that the attempt to smother scandal affect
ing the public interest is mere folly. The
flame is sure 70 burst out at some point with
renewed fury. Without touching the question:
OF their motives, It is now clear that their
course was very uawise.
an innuendo TO the effect that the
charge was not in the hands of the
trustees when published By the Sen.
tinel. As INSCRIPTIONS newspapers have
persisted in spreading the same false
hood, it may be we'll to remark that, accord
ing to the attorneys for Fswkner, the charges
were put in the hands of DIR. James on the
10th of May. Certainly the Sentinel has to
thank him for copies of them at a later
date, as it has to thank DIR. Jamison for the
opportunity to publish the answer Tt got
hold of both papers from the same source,
and is laying itself open to Islander suits
from Fswkner, French and others 10y the
publication of the latter, as much as il ex-
posed itself to McIntire and Valentine,
by the publication of the former. In which
case it must be held that q newspaper can
not speak concerning charges against pub
lie officials until their guilt or innocence is
settled, at which time it might just as well
hold its tongue.
The answer proceeds with an emphatic
denial of all the charges brought, and then
states that they have been made
by Fswkner merely to screen
himself from the accusation of
seducing his own niece, Ida X. Fawkner. In
his conspiracy to ruin McIntire, it is said
that Fawkner found ready tool in q
def mute named French, the author of the
anonymous letter, signed "W. Brown"
brought before the legislature last winter.
A strong onslaught is made upon the char
acter of French, and it is charged that he has
been hired by Fawkner to go about the
state procuring afidavits from former
pupils of the Deaf and Dumb
Institution discriminating the super
intendent. It is asserted that he has used
every device to carry on this work. To
chow that this is the case, letters and sffida-
vita are produced which prove that the super
intendent must have some sharp and trust
worthy detectives upon French's track.
OF courss it is perfectly fair for
Fawkner to employ French or any
one else in this work OF securing
Q 7idence. The only point to be made by

might have lowered up above all the forest,
and held up its head in majesty. But it
grew on a sort of a bog, and muskrat, dig
ging its hole under it, bit off its roots, and it
was dead. 1t was full of limbs and knots
and gnarls, and felt curious to know how it
happened that it was so.
"Poor fellow If you had all these limbs
and knots to support, | don't wonder you
died"
"And with my roots, which were my
mouths with which TO feed, all cut off, too 7"

Then split it all down to the heart, taxi

about six feet long, and perhaps an inch

EVERY man admires moral courage, even
though his own backbone be made of pulp.
Luther's pluck on his way to Worms, and
before the Diet, has been applauded by many
a man who did not dare even to refuse a
glass of wine in polished company, for fear
of stare or frown. The mass of professed
Christians are guilty of too much time-serv-
ing, too much drifting with tho current, too
much concealment of needed truth, and too
much compromise with Christ's enemies.
The boldest are none too bold; the towards
are as much despised by themselves as by
others. Men OF the world expect more faith
full dealing from Christians than they re-
ceiye secretly they feel an utter contempt
for shamefaced professor of religion.

Saybrook was visited last Friday after
noon by a storm of unusual severity.
T he rain literally fell in torrents, and the
wind wrenched off the branches of trees,
and beat down the oats and corn, the
oats especially are in such bad shape
that il is more than double the work TO
harvest them, 10 what it would have
been, could they have been cut the last
week in July A vein of hail passed
over the central portion of the town, the
direction being little east of north.
Gardens that lay in its track were near
ly ruined, beans, potatoes, and all kinds
of vines were cut to pieces, windows
were broken more or less. some houses
having as many as twenty lights of glass
smashed in.
The weather thus far this week has
been favorable for harvesting, and far
mers are doing their best to secure their
oats, some moving, some reaping, some
grading any, and every way that man
ever devised to get grain In shape to haul
to the barn. The amount of finjury in
fiicted upon the growing crops by the
storms of the last ten days cannot be es-
timated with certainty at present.

yet gone to Chautauqua Lake from this
town, though many would like to haYe
