The L0ng Point Plot

TERRE HAUTE, IND, July 2G.-Two
men were arrested in this city Saturday
on charge OF completely in the murder
and attempted express robbery at Long
Point. They were traced from Inulun-
apolis to this place by Chief OF Police
Shewmaker, Of this city, and Eli Thomp-
son, Marshal OF Indianapolis. Their
names are Leander Kennedy, alias Allen
Lee, Hand Columbus Voorhees,, alias
Frank Clark.
7 Immediately after their arrest the off,,
GERS telegraphed to Mr.. King, foreman Of
the English Il Owens foundry in Indian
apolis, who made the armor which was
found on the spot where the locomotive
aud express car were stopped alter the
murder, and for Frank GIaZier, of Indi-
anpolis, who fitted the armor together.
They arrived here in lew hours after
the telegram was sent.
They visited the prisoners in their
cells and identified them as the men who
had the arnor. Both men furnish proofs
that they did not actually participate in
the murder, rs they were in Green Cas-
tie on that night. 1t Is certain, however,
that they were in the plot and know who
did the deed.
Both are from Shelbyville, Ind, the
former home of Edmunds and Cochrane,
with whom they we're acquainted. 1t is
probable that the prisoners wilEturn

The Des Moines (Iowa) Lecture Com
mittee desiring information in regard to
Henry Ward Beechers lecture engage

from his wife:
PEEKsKILL, N. ,Y., July IT, 1875.
p. III. Bristow, Esq, Des Moines, Iowa !:
Dear sir--In reply to yours of the 18th,
Mr.. Beecher desires me to say that there
seems to be a general misapprehension
about his going West this fall. Mr..
Beecher can not travel or lecture in Sep
tember on account of the shay cold."
Early In August he is compelled every
year to leave home and go to the White
Mountains, where. he is obliged to re-
main till the last week of September,
and there escapes his enemy. Arrange
ments were partially made last.fall for
Mr.. Beecher to lecture in some part OF
the West under the direction of &ecture
bureau, but, as you are aware, all such
plans were broken up by the trial, which
Tor six months kept him daily in the
IL 10 YulbC uHCCl pclu IL 3SLh
Beecher will lecture at all this season at
any great distance from his home duties.
Ii he does, the places will be left entirely
to the direction of the bureau and re-
lieve him from that care.
1t will, therefore, be wise for you to
secure his services through some such
medium in case he is able to go west at
all. Thanks for your kindness aud con-
gratulations. A unanimous verdict
would have been gratifying and only
small justice in view of the most vile and
wicked ISLANDERS against the purest,
cleanesI-hearted man tQat the sun shines
on, and after the tortures. of six months
in that Courtroom, and but nine against
three, and that three being such as
they were, together with the dis
closures OF the perjury of the Loader
and Price wretches, is considered here
equal to what the full vindication would
have been had the jury given their ver-
dict without leaving their seats. l have
no fears but that, even in this life, my
husband will stand acquitted before all
men, save such characters as those who
have plotted against him, and even they
know that he is guiltless.
Yours respectfully,
MRS. II. W. BEECHER.
