INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. IL. -Several

outrages, indictments were returned,
and France Hobbs, Daniel King. Sam
uel Spraggins and Thomas Smith were
sentenced each to two years imprison.
ment
These defendants appealed to the
supreme court on the plea that the
"white-cap" law is in violation of the
constitution and the court below erred
in permitting the prosecuting witness to
testify to his own statement made out
of court in confederation of his testi-
mony concerning the Identification OF
the defendants. Judge Hackney, of the
supreme bench, wrote the opinion de-
livered Tuesday. 1t upholds the consti-
nationality of the law, approves the
rulings of the court below, and adds
shat the punishment, in proportion to
the crime, is highly tempered with
mercy" The defendants belong to the
best known families in Dubois county.
Their conviction has done much to deter
similar outrages in southern Indiana.
