New ALBANY, March 1s.-[Special. i
Mrs. E. Kepler, secretary and treasurer OF
the Anneke Jams union of New Albany
SAYS in published letter:
We have in our possession the old family
bible with records dating back to 1905. We
also have the lease stating by whom made,
where and when. We also have the will tes-
tated by Ann.ke JAMS signed with her own sig
nature bequeathiOg to her eight children and
their descendants all OF her private and personal
property and all of her real estate, 1872 acres of
which is situated in New York city and held by
the Trinity church corporation for which they
have no title. There are records still living,
though aged, which soon will defy all rights of
possession, and there are living descendants of
the first child of the old Dutch lady, Anneke
Jams, who bought with her own money said
ground which was confirmed by two separate
deeds. one by the Dutch governor and also by
the French governor which are recorded with
the secretary of state, said deeds being be-
queathed 70 her eight children-fOur bearing
the name of JAMS and four bearing the name
Of Bogardus. BY last will and tesla
ment, which will take precedence over
all other documents OF law, our oldest
near heir, Mrs. Eliza Kiersted, nee
Whiterow-Beyes of New Albany. Ind. holds
the genealoey taken from the old Dutch bible
dated back TO 1912, when the Kiersted name
brought into the JAMS family by the first
daughter whose name is mentioned first in the
reading of the will The Trinity church con.
trollers have never sold a foot of that ground
in the ninety-nine years time of which they
have had possession, being unable to give q

A PECULIAR CASE.
Repeated ElOpem-nts, Recon ciIiations and

SEYMOUR, March 23.-[Special. "A
criminal action is pending in the court of
this county which, on account of the
wealth and prominence of the parties con-
cerned, is creating a sensation. The facts
are briefly these:
In 1887 william Scott and Mrs Dennis
Callahan, each highly connected socially
and neighbors from childhood eloped to
Nevada, Mo-, Scott deserving wife and
children and Mrs. Callahan leaving a hus-
band and family. A year later the woman
came back and lived with her husband,
Callahan, for about twelve months. Dur
ing this time Scott disposed of his pos
sessions in Missouri and returned here,
when he and Mrs. Callahan again eloped.

returned here again, both claiming 20
have obtained divorces in Nebraska, and
they were married at Brownstown
Very recently Scott and his first wife
met over the coffin of their daughter, who
died at Bedford, Ind, and became recon-
SLED. Scott thereupon took the once Mrs.
Callahan TO her first husband and resumed
marital relations with his first wife. He
divided his provisions, taking a portion
with him and leaving part with Mrs.
Callahan. From these provisions the pres
ent Mrs. Scott" prepared dinner, from
which all who ate were so violently
poisoned that their lives were saved with
difficulty.
In searching for the cause Scott dis
covered box of Trough on Rats" which
he had recently purchased, emptied of it's
contents and lying among the provisions.
The gravest suspicious are entertained
that the partner in his repeated elope-
ments had placed the poison in the food
in a spirit OF revenge and a criminal prose-
cution has been begun, which will be
followed by the indictment of both for
bigamy.
Callahan and his original wife and Scott
and the first partner of his joys and sor-
rows are again living together, although
neither of the clippers has obtained a

SHELBYvILLE, March %. Especial. +
Phil Daugherty, rugZed-looking fellow,
came into the city about noon today and
entered several houses where the women
were left alone and demanded food and
money. On being refused he grossly in
suited them. Finally he called at the
house of James Morrison and drove Mrs.
Morrison out of the house and helped
himself to what was in sight. He then
went across the street to r. ID. Flaitz's, and
finding Mrs. Flaitz alone-began abusing
her and calling her vile names. She
threatened him and talked so loudly that
her husband, who was at the barn, heard
the trouble and rushed to her relief.
He got hold OF a gun
and succeeded in arresting the
man and took him before a magistrate.
The fellow was bound over to court and
tonight the excitement became so great

$50 o'clock a mob of 500 masked persons
gathered about the Jail, having procured
an innocent confidant to obtain release
of the prisoner, and the officer, who was

then subjected to q severe castigation.
The raw-hides were used by about thirty
persons until the blood trickled down,

from loss of blood and excruciating pain
he was cut down and told to leave the

clothing was slashed in tatters by knife
in the hands of the assassin. When the
news OF the attempted murder became
known some indignation was expressed,
but few conservative residents of the
neighborhood held their peace, and had
their suspicious aroused by facts in the
case which have since developed. They

IMPRISONMENT FOR LIFE.
The Trial OF James Caves for the Murder
OF Conrad Keller

The Trial OF James Caves for the Murder
OF Conrad Keller.
PETERSBURG. March 19.-[Special. THE
trial of James Caves for the murder Of
Conrad Keller in Dubois county has Just
been concluded here. The jury, after be-
ing out about four hours, returned YER
dict of guilty of murder in the second de-
gree and fixed his punishment at impris-
onment in the state prison during his nat
ural life.
The crime was committed on a lonely
road near Kellersville, in Dubois county.
Keller and Caves were alone on a wagon
which had no bed on it. Keller was sit
ting, when last seen, on the front bolster
and Caves On the brake board with a large
rifle gun on his shoulder. Late in the
night K ller's team came home without a
driver; his wife aroused the neighbors, who
went in search for him. They found the
body lying in the road with the skull
caved in and with some other bruises on
his body. He lived in an unconscious
state until the next morning and died.
The gun carried by Caves was found
h-oken in two, the breech near where
Kcller's body was found and the barrel
some distance away. The defense admit
ted the striking of the blow with the gun
and the killing of Keller, but ected the
theory of self-defense; but. as the de-
fendant Caves was the only surviving eye
witness, the circumstances outweighed his
testimo ny, and the verdict seems to be
generally approved. The deceased left a
family and the defendant has q young
wife and one small child.

but the three robbers were too much for

hour the nearly exhausted men were

left lying, bruised, bleeding and uncon-

Two hours afterward they were found
