SCENE THE MURDER.

@SA>A1
On Friday the counsel, jury, prisoner,
and reporters repaired 10 the reservoir to
examine the ground SO the Jury might I'm.
derstand the evidence better. The prisoner
showed no concern whatever. To occupy
his hands, he picked up butter. cup as he
crossed the field and twisted it in his
fingers during the visit. His brother, who
was along, spent the time conversing
chiefly with he reporters. The prisoner
was dressed IN gray frock coat and dark
pants.
LAYING THE GROUND FOR A MOTIVE.
John Walker of King William, an uncle
Of Lillian, was put on the stand to lay the
foundation for the motive of Cluverius
He testified to suspicious conduct on the
prisoners part while the prisoner was at
his (Walker'sl house, such as leaving his
room at night after every body else had
gone to bed. Lillian was staying in the
bcuse at the time. The prosecution, how
ever, had not selected the best evidence
fer their purpose, as this extract will
show:
MI Pollard, Counsel for the prisoner) asked
Do YOU mean q say that you do not know the rea-
son for Miss Madison leaving her fathers house?
SC
Mr.. Walker.-To my own knowledge do not
know don't think she spent night there (at
her father's) after she came to my house ON July
g. 1851 She SAID that they had fuss about some
letters that she had destroyed the letters and her
people got mad, and she left Il
MIR. BiggS, "a man with whom Lillian corredp bonded
against her parents wsheS) said that he had some
letters which be had received from Lillian. and he
was willing to let the matter drop if would No,
sir, he did not show me The letters No; did not
speak to him at all; the compr, mise was effected
through mutual friends. DON'T think The terms
were put in writing don't know TO whom the let
tiers were shown, but think Mr., Madison got them !
back No sir; 1 don't know to my own knowledge
thaS Riggs had letters which he said had likewise
been written to B. B Shinaut or Willie Poynter or
Lallie Prince
MI P-w as the compromise made because of
the character of these letters in whole in part
Mr. WI don't think that these letters had any !
thing to do with the compromise. The letters, !
am told, were turned over to Mr. Madison.
Colonel Aylett (for the prosecution).-Did Biggs |
stay in the county after that?
Mr. Walker Il haven't seen him since.

that he should leave the county.
MIR. W i think so.

recognized as a lady?

lion against her.

Defeat of Powerful Society Organized for

NEW YORK, April 25.-The most powerful
organization effected in New York for
restraint of the liquor business has been sgnaly
defeated. Those concerned in it Included clergy

societies, and several of the millionaires of

fully discussed and compromised, and substan-
tial agreement was reached that in high license
lay the feasible measure for lessening and con-
trolling the sale of intoxcants in this city. A
bill was prepared, fixing the fee at thou
sand dollars year for license
to deal in distilled liquors, and $500 for malt
beverages alone This was sent to Albany
month ago, with such a backing as was conf

TWO KINDS OF CRANKs.
The Religious and Medical Lunatics Who
Assail General Grant.

Assail General Grant.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
New YORK, April 25.-During the stress of
matter of hourly expectancy neither his physi
clans, the family, nor the reporters, paid atten-
ton to the cranks who infested the neighbor-
hood of his residence seeking admission, or who
sent letters by the score in the vain hope that
some reply would be given Now that favor
able turn has come in the disease, and weeks or
months of life seem to be assured, the doings of
the wild men and women are worth mentioning
These persons may be divided into two general
classes religious and medical The former
endeavored to make the General, and those
who have him in charge, rely upon miracle
TO cure him. The mails which are deiv-
cred at the Grant house fall into the hands
of one or another of the sons Scarcely a

united petitions, cause faith cure Those are
samples Of many. Boston is now considerably
agitated by the so-called mind cure and not less
than twenty letters have come from the
disciples of that doctrine. These have
been destroyed carelessly, but the best recolec-
ton of them is that they agreed pretty we'll in
counseling the General to recover by means Of
an exercise Of his reputed doggedness of deter
mination.
The letters proffering nostrums were number
ed by the hundred, and in a large proportion OF
cases the medicine was sent along. ready for
trial. Some came from manifestly honest per-
sons and their proposed doses consisted OF the
catnip sort OF materials, compounded in accord
ance with the recipes of old women. Proprie-
tors of patent medicines, too, took the remote
chances of getting an advertisement through an
offer Of their mixtures. Few of the current
preparations for diseases Of the blood failed to
put in an appearance. OF course mono of the
advice, selfish or loving was taken into mo-
ment's consideration.
The most persistent Of the volunteers were
alleged miracle workers. who desired to lay their
hands on the General Some of them were Spirit
ualists, male and female mediums, from the phe-
nomenon imbued by nature with marvellous
electric powers to the mere human agent through
whom the medical spirits were accustomed to
work cures. A fair percentage were palpably
insane, while others seemed intent only on a
notoriety which might be turned to valuable &C
count in their business. Not one Of the appli-
cants for trial got so near the patient as the
inside Of the front doorway, where their errands
were heard by one of the SONS, usually Fred, who
unceremonously sent them away. But there

which politeness was required, for the man was

grateful profoundly, for the prayers of all Chris
tians but that we did not feel like doing any
thing that implied expectancy of miracle in

MIR. Cox,s SUCCESSOR.
Silver-T0ngue Grady Pronounced the Most
Available Candidate.

Silver-TOngue Grady Pronounced the Most
Available Candidate.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NEW YORK, April 25.-The question Of a sue
cessor to Sunset Cox in Congress, on his retire
ment to Turkey as United States minister, is
somewhat agitating to local politics, and the
outcome is likely to be an irritation to President
Cleveland The Sixth congressional district,
which Mr.. Cox has represented for so many
years unopposedly, is overwhelmingly Demo
cratic, and its control is by Tammany, which
originally brought Mr. Cox from Ohio expressly
to be its congressman. The services which Mr..
Cox was to render for Tammany in return
were oratorical. He was to speak
from the stump during campaigns,
and from the platform of Tammany Hall
on celebratory occasions. Such was the under
standing between him and John Kelly. Mr..
Cox performed his part Of the contract satisfac-
torily, even brilliantly, and was never called on
to do any other political work for the party. Now
that he is going to give up the position, the same
policy which dictated the compact with him will
be followed in choosing his successor. The most
available candidate is Tom Grady, by reason of
his remarkable gift of oratory. He is known to
New Workers as Silver tongue Grady, and his
voice has within the past five years been the
most popular among Tammany speakers. He is
protege of Kelly, and the belief is that on him
the honor will be placed Here comes in the in
teresting feature of the case. Grady is a hater
of the President. When Grady was in
the State Assembly, and Cleveland was Gov
ernor, letter was written to John Kelly by
Cleveland, asking as a personal favor that re-
nomination be not given to Grady. Tie reason
assigned was that Grady had during his term
advocated bad measures, hindered good ones
and generally been a nuisance to the executive
Kelly promptly showed the letter to Grady and
had him elected to another term at Albany.
There Grady took pains to annoy Cleveland on
every opportunity In the Chicago convention
which nominated Cleveland for the presidency
the wild opposition by Grady, as Tammany's
spokesman remarkable enivenment of
the proceedings. He subsequently made stump
speeches against the candidate, ostensibly
retiring from membership in Tammany for that
purpose. He will go to Washington full of
vengefulness against the President
