The Block Trial.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GREENsBURG, Feb 2S.-Interest is undated
in the Block case, as evidenced by the fact that
the large courtroom would not accommodate all
who desired to attend. The defense continued.
Frank Walters heard Frank say, last fall, after
he had had some trouble with Elsie: ''If 1 had
been let alone 1 would have got away with
him." Also that he would whip both of them.
Samuel Roth, of Chicago, street vender, was
in Rushville the day before the tragedy. Frank
said: ''What did that want
with you" referring to Block. ''He is a
- Sheney. The - -
wants to run me out" He drew pistol
and said. "I'll lay him out" Roth admitted that
he wrote to Block, saying he could help him out
of the trouble and had all his expenses paid.
John Friday, Of Shelbyville, was at Rushville at
the time Of the fair. Saw Frank run Elsie. Saw
Elsie pick up his watch. Frank called Block a
''Sheney," and said, while shaking his fist, Come
out, old man, will give it to YOU William
Woods policeman, testified that at the time of
the fair trouble Elsie had brick in his hand.
Frank said: Elsie spit in my face. Ever since
I've been here I've been run over by the whole

stand it. have tried to be gentleman
Several witnesses followed, describing the fight
between Frank and Elsie during the fair and of
the threats and epithets used by Frank before
the fatal day. Ephraim Dale, carpenter, gave
the distances about the scene of the ARRAY.
These showed that the pistol-shot which went
through the window was fired from a much lower
point at the gutter than if it had been fred at
Franks head, as shown by the State.
