by Samuel Beechan, a negro, who has
been known as Sam Curtis during his stay

Sheriff Miller that the ownership of a

a few words, he took from him
his cane and struck him three times
over the head. Warburton's skull

THE cALKINs MURDER.
Beginning OF the Trial of Frank Hendryx

GOSHEN. Jan. 13.-[Special. THE CAL
kins murder case was called in court this
afternoon. Frank Hendryx, who is ac-
cused in Mrs. Calkins' confession Of being
the principal aggressor in the murder OF
her aged husband, petitioued the court for
an attorney TO make bis defense at the
county's expense. In the cross-examina-
tion his father, DR.. Hendryx, was shown
10 be worth over $1,000, and the petition
was denied. Mrs. Calkins sits in the
woman's department in the Jail crying
and praying. Her confession OF the awful
crime was made OF her own free viii, she
not being solicited at all by the states at
torney. DIR. Hendryx says that the whole
case is simply persecution of his son by
few of his enemies, and in the course OF
bis remarks let slip word or two which
shows that the chief plan OF the defense
vii be to prove Mrs. Calkins to be 50 bad

TERRE HAUIE's SENSATION ENDED.
Ethel Towne Declared Not Guilty of the
Forgery.


Forgery.
TERRE HAUTE, Jan. 19.-[Speeial. The
jury in the case against Ethel Towne for
forgery tonight returned verdict of not
guilty. The jury took five ballots and un-
til the last ballot stood ten for acQuittal
and two for conviction, Jurors Clay and
Aulson holding out.
The jury retired at 2:30 this afternoon.
1t was not expected that the jury would
remain out very long, owing to the in
structions of Judge Tyler, who sustain ed
the view of tho law advanced by the de-
fense, and as the minutes grew into hours
it begun TO look as if there would be
a disagreement. The fair prisoner
passed a bad day, suffering greatly
from nervous prostration. She had
one fainting spell this morning and two
this afternoon, all of them, however, oc-
curing in ante-rooms and not in the pres
ence OF the jury. She was not taken to
Jail today, but was allowed to remain in
the court house. She was assisted into
court this morning to hear the verdict OF
the jury. When the verdict acquitting
her was read she frightened up and threw
her head and arms down on the table. As
the jurors passed her she shook each one
OF them by the hands and thanked them.
Public sympathy was strongly in favor OF
her acquiltal. not that anybody believed
that she was not morally guilty OF utter
ing the forged check, but the public be-
lieved she had already been punished
enough by her sixty-six days in jail.
Along with this was her youth, good looks
and general intelligence. 1t was also true
that the state did not make out a legal
case against her OF uttering the forged
check. the court instructing the jury that
if Landlord Bour knew, at the time the
check was presented to him by the
girl, that it was fraudulent and worthless,
then there could be no fraud perpetrated
on him and, consequently, no injury TO
him, and hence no legal case of uttering a
forged check against the prisoner. The
court instructed the jury that a mere at
tempt to utter a forged check was not
enough, no matter how strong the intent
that there must have been, at the time, q
possibility that the person on whom the
check was passed could be defrauded
There has been controversy as TO whether
this position is we'll taken, but the best
lawyers here support it. Ethel was
taken to the National house by her
counsel for lodgings tonight, and it is said
that tomorrow she will be sent out of town
by the authorities. This ends the most
sensational trial that has occurred in west
ern Indiana for many years.
