dence proving the motive of the express robbery
could be introduced, and with the evidence
came the testimony on the alleged forgeries.
Chamberss uncle, Chesley Woodward, testified

knew nothing Of these notes, and had not signed
them himself, or authorized any one else to
do so.
NJ d. Dillon testified that be saw Chambers
pass through the train as Harrodsburg was
reached, the last place where the train stopped
before the robbery was committed. This testi-

albi completely. 1t was also proved that the
forged notes and other indebtedness, amounting
to several hundred dollars, were paid off soon
after the robbery.
The most important evidence of the day was
that of Peter Webper the assaulted baggage

man who shot him. The States evidence will

Criminal Trials at Muncfe,

Special to the INDIANAPOLIS Journal.
MUNcIE., Sept A.-The Scott Haynes muir
der case moves slowly along. About seventy
five men were called to the jury-box before an
acceptable panel of jurymen could be agreed
upon. The taking of testimony in the trial of
Bishop Scott began this afternoon. The prose
cutting witness, John Haynes father of the boy
who was killed, was examined at length, but no
evidence was elected from him that is cal
culated to prove the guilt of the de-
PENDANT. He testified that, so far
as he knew, there was naught but the
best feeling between himself and his boy
and the Scott boys, and that they were all
on friendly terms at the time of the shooting.
He knew then of no conspiracy on the part of
the SCOTS and Frank Poor to murder his boy.
All that he had knew of it he had learned since.
Other members of Mr.. Hayness family testified,
but their evidence on this point is substantially
the same as his.
