Beginning of the Kennedy Trial.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SHELBYVILLE, Dec. 1.-THE noted murder
case of the State vs.. Edward Kennedy, the boy
who is charged with the killing of Albert Nc
C0rkle on the 9th of October, 1880, called
about IL o'clock this morning, after the court
had gone through the regular routine of calling
The cases on the docket and dispOsing of some
preliminary matters. By o'clock the court
room and gallery were crowded with people
from all parts of Shelby county, many
of the farmers travelling before
court hour as much as twelve miles through
the snow, in order to be present when the case
should be called. Young Kennedy was brought
into court by Sheriff ConRer, wearing a neat
fitting suit of blue CLOTH He sat near his father
John Kennedy, during the day, and was per-
fectly cool and collected. He looked as boyish
as a schooboy, but, for one of his age, has won
derful nerve.
The work Of impaneling jury then began,
and the work during the day has been extreme
~ difficult The regular panel soon ex-
hausted, and some thirty of the names on the
special venire were called and refused. Most of
those who were called were excused on the
ground Of having formed an opinion as to the
guilt or innocence of the defendant. From
present indications it ID ay take several days be-
fore jury will be procured.

A Wealthy Man Indicted for Falsifying His
Assessment List.

A wealthy Man Indicted for Falsifying His
Assessment List.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ANGOLA, Dec 17.-Frederlck Vandercock, the
wealthest citizen of Steuben county, was in
dcted at the late session of the grand jury for
returning false list of assessables. Mr.. Van
dereook's wealth is varously estimated at from
5000, 600 to $780, 900, in real estate, in this
county, notes, mortgages and bonds, and also in
bank stock IN Fremont Clyde and Green Springs,
O., and at the last assessment lie made sworn
statement that his personal property subject to
taxation in Steuben county amounted to $1,000.
After the grand jury had adjourned it leaked
out that Mr.. Vandercook had been indicted, and
his attorney, Mr. W. B. Mcconnell approached
one Of the grand jurors and asked why some
others were not indicted for the same offense,
to which the juror made an evasive
answer. Mr.. Mcconnell then addressed conf
Dental note to Judge Mcbride, of the Circuit
Court asking him to reconvene the grand jury
and investigate other like cases. Judge Mcbride
replied that he knew no law by which he could
reconvene the grand jury, but he Immediately
set about making inquiries as to who had di'
vulged the secrets of the grand jury room, and
evidence pointed to Mr.. Ezra Cline. the juror
whom Mr.. Mcconnell approached. He was at
once arrested, but proved himself innocent of
the charge. Steps are being taken to find out
who the guilty party is, and if found he will be
severely punished. Mr.. Vandercook, upon hear
ing of his indictment, went into court and de-
manded trial, but Judge Mcbride decided not
to grant it at this term, to which Mr.. Wander
cook took exceptions, and gave personal recog-
nizanee in the sum of 81, 900 for his appearance
at the February term, 1884. Mr.. VandercOOk's
friends claim that he can prove his innocence of
the charge, while the prosecution are equally
confident of convicting.
