MUNCIE, Ind, Jan 1.-The report from
Richmond. to-day. Of the discharge. of
James A. Wood, the man convicted of
numbering attorney Jay Blount, of this
city, at the Eastern Indiana Hospital at
Richmond three years ago. caused a great
deal of surprise here. The Journal cor
respondent called on attorney C. B. Tenn
pier tonight, asking him what he thought
of the action of the prosecution MIR. Tenn
pier stated that he had been consulted by
the officers at Richmond, and ii had been
agreed to discharge Wood. The wife of the
murdered man is now married and gone,
and no person seems overly anxious to
again go through the trial. Mr.. Templer
was the first man inforSned by James
Hannah of Blount's treatment at the hands
of Wood, and he was most Instrumental
in urging the prosecution. He says he
spent $500 of his w money in the case,
all of which he is loser. and he was not
anxious to sink any more. 1t is generally
believed here that there was a great deal
of whitewash used in Woods behalf sim
ply because there is 10 one who is willing
to push matters in behalf OF the once-Pcp-
ular, but unfortunate, attorney.

RICHMOND, Ind. Jan. 2-This afternoon
the indictment charging James A. Wood
with the murder OF Thomas Jay Blount
was stricken from the records. Wood was
an attendant at the Eastern Indiana Hos
pital for the Insane and his victim was a
Muncie attorney who was confined in the
hospital for treatment. Wood got a new
trial after receiving a twenty-one year SEN
tence for kicking the patient To death n
1891. Wood has been confined in the pen1-
Tertiary two and one-half years. which is
more than the minimum penalty for the
~offense, and inasmuch as three years have
elapsed since the indictment was found, and
many of the leading witnesses have left
the county. the prosecutor believed 1t would
be impossible 10 secure conviction on an
other trial. Since his release on bail last
June Wood has been in this city working
at his trade as a baker. Tomorrow even
ing he is to marry Miss Bessie Kaufman,
of this city, a young woman who has been
a clerk In Trustee Tingle's office.
