opinion the court may see fit to deliver, and
will again take steps to seat his latest ap-

Judge Plat Rogers, the Governors prin-

or assassination only can interfere with the
Governor in calling out the troops Of the
State. The court has no more right to a

that matter than has a private individual.
The Governor has not asked for any opin-

LEBANON, Ind, March 20.-An attempt
to assassinate Chief OF Police. Charles Oden
was made late last night while he was
watching a questionable resort in a Sc
cluded spot in the south part of the city.
He had been decoyed to the place and was
fired on without a moments warning. The
shot missed and Oden escaped. The affair
is surrounded by sensational circumstances
When Prosecutor L. II. Dutch, Judge Neal
and the grand jury arrived at their differ
ent offices on the morning OF March / they
found threatening letters pinned 10 their
doors, telling them to stop the investlga-
ton against the mob which tried TO hang
the negro Hall, Feb. 3. The threats had no
effect on their actions, however, and the
investigation was continued with renewed
vigor.
Last Saturday night the prosecutor was
requested by anonymous letter to nave a
~well-known place watched and instructed to
be on hand himself. He paid no attention
to the matter at the time, but yesterday
Chief Oden received a similar notice and
fell into the trap. The opinion prevails
that the attempt on Oden's life was the
work of the parties who took part in the
mob, and had Prosecutor Dutch acted as
{, requested last Saturday he would nave been
assaulted. There is yet no clew to the con-
SpiratOrS.
