THE JETER MURDER TRIAL.
The Argument Yesterday-Colonel Bradley's
Eloquent Appeal for the Defense.

Argument in the Jeter murder trial was begun
yesterday Deputy Prosecutor Robbins opening
for the State. He made an exceptionally strong
plea, the basis being that drunkenness on the
part of the prisoner was not a palliation OF the
crime, and did not relieve him from RESPONSE
bility IN the sight of the law. In the afternoon,
Colonel William o. Bradley, for the Defense
made a most eloquent plea. Mr.. H. N. Spaan
will follow on behalf of the State, to be followed
by Major Gordon and Mr.. John 8. Duncan for
the defense, when Prosecutor Brown will con-
clude on the part of the State.
Colonel Bradley's speech was listened to by
very large crowd, including number of menu
bers of the bar, who were cosnizanJ of his repu-
tation as a brilliant orator. In concluding his
argument which was extemporaneous, Mr.
Bradley made the following impassioned appeal:

native State of Kentueky--Of which, thank God

A False Alarm.

The documents which were supposed to have
been stolen from the office of the secretary of
the State Board of Health were found yester-
day. A note received from Dr. Stevens, the ex.
secretary, by W. Fl. Smith, the late clerk of the
board, stated that the records would probably
be found in certain drawer, where they had
been left. Upon search being made in accord
ance with the directions of the note the docu-
ments were discovered. The supposition that
there had been theft arose from the finding of
the office door open on Saturday morning, and
the failure to find the important records of the
office III their usual place.

THE POLICE COMMISSIONERS.
Their Appointment Probable TO-Day-Who
Are Talked OF for the Position.

1t is quite probable that no meeting of the
State officers will be held for the appointment of
the police commission before tomorrow at the
verys earliest. mass of correspondence has
accumulated during Governor Porter's absence,
which will occupy his attention for at least a
day or two after his return and the State officers
are disposed to give some consideration to the
pressing demands upon his time and attention
before urging meeting. 1t is understood now
that the Democrats most likely to DO appointed
are John 2. Frenzel and Jackson Landers. Mr.
Frenzel is now one OF the school board commits
sioners, and his resignation of the
position would be necessary before
he could accept the appointment. Friends
of both gentlemen claim that their acceptance is
doubtful, but that they have reached no CON
clusions IN regard to the matter yet. Among
the other Democratic candidates for the posi-
lions are Martin Fl. Rice j. C. Murphy, Tom Cot
trel NJ. l.. O'COnnor, Irwin Robbins. Colonel
john DOdd and j. s. Sullivan. IL is announced
that Colonel j. A. Keifer and Major ]. J.. Mitch

number of candidates at Evansville for appoint-

more largely than anyone else.
