7 H
ColuxBrs, o., July Is The community
was very much shocked, this forenoon, TO
learn that Judge okey, Of the Supreme
Court, was dead. BE had not been sick
very long, but twas supposed that the
crisis in his case had been passed, that he
was gradually improving, and would fully
recover.
Judge okey was well known to most Of
the citizens Of Columbus, and his familiar
face was frequently met as he was on his
way TO and from the State House. He
was one OF the hardest working Judges
that ever atom the Supreme Bench OF the
State. He worked incessantly. Long
hours, after ethefs had retired, Judge
0key could be found in the consultation
room Of the Supreme Court poring over
his books and solving difficult problems.
John Waterman oEey was born near
Woodsfield, Monroe county, January 8,
1927, and copst quently was in his & fly
ninth year at the time Of his death. He
was educated at the Monroe, Academy
audspent two years In the Office of the
Clerk Of 1.-The Court of Monroe county. He
read law at Woodsfeld, and was admitted
to the bar at Cambridge October q, ls49,
and was subsequently admitted to prac-
tice in the Supreme court OF the United
States.
In 1853 be was appointed Probate Judge
and the next year was elected TO the same
office. In 1856 he vas elected q Common
Pleas Judge jn the Belmont District and
reelected in 1861. In 1865 he resigned
and removed TO Cincinnati, where he en-
tered the Office Of W. Y. Gholson and re-
mained with him eighteen. months, en-
gagged in preparing the Ohio Digest, and
aiterward wrote 0key& Mfllers Municipal
Law. In 1875 Governor Allen appointed
him a member OF the Commission to cod
ify the Ohio Statutes, and shortly after
ward he was elected TO the Supreme
Bench. He was serving his second term
at the time Of his death. In politics
Judge okey was Democrat.
In I1S49 Judge 0key was married to Miss
Bloor, of Belmont county. The result Of
The union Is two sons and two daughters.
One OF the daughters married o. N. Dam
enhower, Of Cincinnati. George B. 0key
Is reporter of the Supreme Court. Trevitt
". okey is one Of the lessees ofthe Grand
and Comstock's Opera Houses, this city.
The youngest daughter remains at home.
The remains Of Judge okey will be in

the remains will probably be taken there
on Monday over the Midland road. The

Possibility that New Mexico and Southern
Dakota May BE Admitted.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WAsHINGToN June 26.-Delegations from
New Mexico, Utah, Washington Territory, and
Dakota, have been here this summer for the
purpose of looking over the ground to see what
are the prospects for the admission of their re-
spective Territories into the Union as States.
The Washington Territory men have about come
to the conclusion that there is no hope for them
just yet, nor is there much for Utah. The New
Mexico people believe that they see majority
favoring their scheme in the House, and they
will work with the Dakota men in securing their
rights as States. Some of the Dakota Demo
Gratis who have been here have been very per-
sistent in their demands upon the Secretary of
the Interior and the President urging them to
do all in their power to induce Congress to pass
a bill to divide the Territory, and to admit the
southern half. These men claim that they have
considerable ir fuence with Democratic members
of Congress- and that, during the present ses-
sion they will devote great deal of time to this
subject. SO important to them, and they believe
that their efforts will be crowned with success.
There are reasons for thinking that their hopes
may be realized, for it is generally conceded by
fair men in the Democratic party that the time
for the admission of Dakota has arrived.

TIE CLUVERIUS CASE.
The Defendant Abandons the Effort to Prove
an Alibi, and Tries New Plan.

RICHMOND, Va, June 26-The effort of the
counsel for T. j. Cluverius, convicted of the
murder of Lillian Madison, to prove an alibi,
was abandoned by them this morning, they
having failed to secure the necessary afidavits
They, however. submitted another motion to set
aside the death sentence and grant new trial
on the ground of newly discovered evidence
This melton was based on the affidavit of
DR.. James r. Garlick, teacher of the murdered
woman, in which he states that he
has positive conviction that the superscription
on the envelope containing the torn note found
at the American Hotel, on the morning after the
discovery of the body, and which connects the
deceased with the prisoner, is not in the hand
writing of Lillian Madison. After brief argu-
ment by counsel on both sides, Judge Atkins
overruled the motion for new trial, and the
counsel for the defense excepted to the ruling.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, June 26.-S. Corning Judd,
Chicago's new postmaster. has been here several
days The object of his mission is to see if he
cannot evade the civilservice law in some ap-
pointments in his Office, under the pretext of
self-protection. Mr. Judd asserts that the Chi
cago postofice handles over $780, 00O 600 annually,
and that the money all passes through the hands
Of men who are not in political sympathy with
himself. He desires that the places Of trust
filed by Republicans should be occupied by
Democrats, and he will urge upon the Civil
service Commission and the President the neces-
sity of allowing him to employ such men as he
chooses behind his money counters. In other
words. Mr. Judd would like to have little more
patronage, and he thinks that he can make a
personal appeal so effectually that the arthori-
ties will be willing to nullify the law in order to
please him.
Mr.. Judd is not the only man who has come
here with proposition of this kind, but thus far
none Of them have been answered. 1t is an i'm
portant point, and every official having under
him men who are intrusted with the government
funds will anxiously await the decision of the

EX-BANKER FISH.
Three Judges Consider His Case and Decline
to Grant Him New Trial.

New YORK. June 26.--Judges Wallace, Bene-
dict and Brown, sitting en- banc in the United
States Circuit Court, handed down decision
this morning confirming the decision of the
court below, denying James D. Fish, Of the late
Marine Bank, new trial.
All the judges concurred in the opinion, which
says, in part: ''The defendant swears that the
firm Grant & Ward) was entitled to have these
sums credited, and to draw out moneys, because
Fish, as president of the Marine Bank, had
loaned the sums to the firm. 1t is contended
that the defendant was improperly convicted of
lnisappropriating these moneys because it was
done by him as president, and his acts were there
FORE NAL administration. There is no distinction
between loan in bad faith, for the purpose of
defrauding the bank and an application OF money
with a like intention. A loan in bad faith is no
loan in the sense of the law 1t is simply a
fraud.o
The decision goes on to say that Fish had
authority, between meetings of the directors, to
make loans to his firm without securities. ''The
question was whether there was bona fide
agreement between the accused and Ward to
loan these moneys, or whether the forms of a
ioan were a cover for different transactions 1t
is mistake to suppose that there cannot be a
criminal misapplication of the moneys of a
national bank by means of a loan"

WASHINGTON, June 26-In order that the

each of these officers should be appointed for
five years, with the advice ard consent of the
Senate, and that their terms should not be cur
tailed, except on reasons prepared by the Presi-
dent and submitted to the Senate. Messrs.
Cannon and Burchard, the present incumbsnts

was enacted to do just what it says, namely, to
keep them in their positions during their term,
unless they are removed for cause and the cause
approved by the Senate. But Secretary Man

The fact that new Cabinet has been formed

for his recall. AT the legation nothing is

by tomorrow it is expected that the course to be

ACQUITTAL OF E. T. JOHNSON.
Court Scenes-Voorhees Returns Thanks and
Says His Prayers Have Been Answered.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
GREENvILLE, Tenn, June 26-The court
room was well filed at an early hour this morn
ing. as it was thought that the jury in the
johnson murder case would return verdict.
After their names were called by the clerk he
asked if they had agreed. They responded in
the affirmative. and to the formal question re-
piled, mot guilty.. Every ear was bent for
ward to catch the answer, and as soon as the
reply was made unanimous cheer went up.
The confusion lasted several minutes some
yelled, some threw up their hats, and others
banged on desks with canes. Above the con-
fusion could be heard the gavel of the court
calling for order AS soon as quiet was restored,
Judge Hacker commanded the sheriff to arrest
any one caught cheering His order came too late,
as every one had given vent to their feelings.
Captain johnson was in the courtroom when
the verdict was announced, but his son had not
reached the room. He was on the ground in
front of the building when the cheering began,
and he knew what it meant He rushed up the
steps into the room and threw himself into his
fathers arms weeping for JOY. The scene was
touching and made an impression on every one.
When the verdict was announced there was
rush of newspaper correspondents for tho tele-
graph Office, and in ten minutes the wires were
flashing the news all over the United States. In
the meantime, Captain johnson was receiving
congratulations from his many friends, and later
in the day congratulatory kilograms began pour
ing in from all quarters. Senator Voorhees,
telegraphed: SsThank God for his mercy My
prayers have been answered"
Captain Johnson said, in an interview with
your correspondent that he cared very little for
the verdict compared with the vndcation from
the charges brought by his enemies accusing
him of numbering his own wife, and other
charges as heinous and malicious. He says he
has never been uneasy as to the verdict believ-
ing that right would prevail.

Land Patents Refused.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-The Commissioner Of
the General Land Office has declined to accede
to the request of the Oregon & California Rail-
road Company for the issue of patents on 325, 600
acres of land already selected by the company,
and to allow selections to be made for 1000, 600
acres more, under the lapsed land grant to that
company in the State Of Oregon. The grant
expired in 1880. Bills declaring forfeiture OK
the grant were before Congress at the last ses.
sion. The Commissioner says that until the
matter of enforcing the forfeiture has been de-
termined by Congress or the courts, it is his
opinion that he should take no steps which would
place it beyond the power of tho legislative
branch of the government to protect the public
rights in the premises
