The Case of Emma Bond Hints of Important
Revelations

The Case of Emma Bond-Hints of Important
Revelations.
HiLLsBoRo, Dec 10-The celebrated Emma
Bond case, winch was changed from Chris
tan to Montgomery county, was called here
this-L4rning, but, owing TO the absence OF
counsel, nothing will be done till tomorrow.
A large number of witnesses arrived this
morning. There are indications of revolu-
ton of sentiment toward the men charged
with this crime. There are various causes
which have led to this but none more po-
tent than the report, vague and underlined as
it is, that there are mysterious developments
to be made at the trial which will put an
appearance upon the affair of which the pub
lie never dreamed. John G. Montgomery
some time since asserted that he had come
into possession OF facts which could not fail
TO yindicate him and his fellow-prisoners.
What these facts were he refused to state or
even suggest The suspicion, however has
gained ground in Christian county, as well
as here, that not only are Montgomery, Pettis
and Clement innocent of the charge made
against them, but that Miss Bond was never
outraged by anyone. This, as said before, is
only a suspicion, vague conclusion arrived
at in view of statements made by
parties NuO nave ldhen a dtcp
interest in the case, who have
carefully examined the place where the
crime is alleged to have been committed, and
who have analysed the circumstances in all
their phases One man declared that he had
carefully examined and measured the scut-
tle-hole leading to the loftin which the crime
is said to have been committed and he felt
satisfied that even if unconscious it would
have been impossible for man to have
drawn her through it with shawl tied about
her body. A Mr.. Morrison, from Christian
county, who resides near Grove City, and
who has taken deep interest in the case,
openly expresses the opinion that the three
men accused are guiltless and that Miss Bond
was not outraged as stated. it is also said
that DIR. Vermillion has been dropping state
meats which throw q new light upon the
case, and which, if not accepted as the literal
truth, have created a feeling of uncertainty
throughout this entire tier OF counties which
will guarantee fair trial for the accused and
prevent a recurrence of anything like the
mob violence which occurred at Taylorville
at the preliminary examination. These ru-
mors are simply given for what they are
worth as indications that active and thor
ough efforts will be made to sift the case to
the bottom.

Graveyard Insurance.

BOSTON, Dec. 10-Relative to graveyard
insurance at Fall River it is claimed there
has been COLLISION between two medical ex-
aminers. For the past two years broken
down drunkards, consumptives and I'M
healthy persons were insured for sums rang
ing from $1,000 to 5000, and physicians
agents aud others would hold policies till
death ensued, aud then pocket the insurance
or sell the policies to rum sellers, who would
give their victims enough rum to hasten
their death and then collect the insurance.
