Chamberlain the Double Indiana MUIR
derer Recaptured.
DELPHI, Ind, May y,27.-Chamberlain, the
murderer OF Miss Witenborg, of Monticello,
who broke jail the other night and in escap.
ing Drained Sheriff Henderson, was captured
near here this morning. To two young
ladies, cousins of Chamberlain's, is due the
capture of the desperado. Last evening
an hour before sundown. Chamberlain en-
tered the house of his uncle. William Riddle.
six miles from Reynolds, the latter is u
widower and was absent from home, and
his daughters ida and Mary, aged 10 and
2l, kept house for him. Their feelings
hardly can be described as they stood face
TO face with the young man who at that
moment was being hunted for by thousandsl
OF armed men. Chamberlain was almosg
exhausted as for the entire night
and day he had &c ggad about Ehei
country In q rain without a bite
to eat or moment to rest. When in.
formed that Deputy Sheriff Harvey had
searched the house but an hour before, he
dropped on the sofa for a short rest. Hisf
cousins then induced him to remove his
clothing and hang them before the fire to
dry. When he fell asleep, Ida remained at
the house and Mary ran across the field |
and told the story to Ralph and Arthur |
Laurie. the two nearest neighbors. Armed |
with shot guns and accompanied by three |
others, they entered the house, and |
while Laurie drew bead on the
desperado the others sprang upon
him and bound him. At midnight arrange
ments were made to start for this place.
He was then taken to Monticello, where |
nrifs lxyv,o
feeling against the murderer is wrought up /
to the highest pitch. Company HI, First |
Regiment, State Troops, arrived at Monti-
cello this afternoon under orders from
Governor Gray, to prevent lynching.
The presence OF the troops only had the
effect of adding to the excitement and fur
5her enraging the people.

were that, last November, Albert Than and
Philip Laun, the defendant, entered into an
agreement to carry on the butcher business
on East Park street, Than furnishing the
money and Laun theexperience, the profits
to be divided equally. After two months
OF unvaryins loss, Thau concluded he had
had enough OF it, and taking the books OF
the concern notified Laun that he did not
care to have him any longer about the place.
Laun claimed the right to have the assets
appraised and the profits iii any divided,
but Thau could not see it in that light.
Laun, then, in Thau's absence, loaded nine
calves on sleigh and drove off with them
to another butchers shop where he sold
them. Thau on the trial swore that the
calves were dressed" but his son swors
they were 'sundressed," the anomaly being
that q calf from which the skin, head and
entrails have been removed is dressed" !"
whereas one that has all it's parts and APP
pendages is 'undressed." The prosecution
was represented by County Attorney
Dewitt and w. /. Lippincott, Esq, while
Mcbride d Haldorn conducted tina defence.

Haldorn moved tie Court t. inetrHct the

dressed were 'sundressed"-in fact,
had their skins on. The Court sus-
tained the m ,tion on the ground

which there had been no dissolution. Ac-
,ordingly the. jury returned verdict OF
mot guilty" to which the prosecution ex-

homes to battle and die for the right.
To-day on myriads mounds, marking
the rest of many, will loving hands strew
floral gifts and skillful singers chant their
reouiems: but many more, as brave as
they. in dark ravine. deep recess or forest,
by cypress, or where willows bend, sleep,
beneath southern skies, in unknown
graves. These may not rest beneath Drlgnt
robes of flowers, but all shall wear the
wreath of laurel.
This day, so wisely dedicated to the
memories of our brave dead, should pe
most willingly and generally observed, IN
all places where our soldier sleeps; and to
the end that the observance of these memo
rial services may be universal,
Now, Therefore, l. L. j. Hamilton,
