TWO MURDERERS
Discovered in Kentucky Penitentiary
to Be Brought Back for Trial.

Governor Matthews yesterday issued a
requisition upon the Governor of Kentucky
for the return of George and John Reeves,
who are now confined in the Kentucky
State penitentiary at Frankfort for the
crime of burglary and arson, committed
in 1886. Their terms will expire Oct. rs
next. The Reeves brothers are wanted in
Indiana for the murder of John Gardner
and William S. Cox, committed JAM l, 1885,
in Dubois county. These two men were en-
deavoring to serve a warrant from Martin
county charging the two Reeves with lar
ceny committed in that county. On June
Sheriff Cox and his two deputies went
after the Reeves and came upon them
about a mile east of the town of Jasper.
They were arrested and while being con-
veyed back to Jasper they turned upon
their captors, grabbed Gardeners pistol
from him and Immediately shot him five
times. Turning upon Deputy Cox they shot
him three times. Gardner died the same
day, but Cox lived almost two years dying
from the effects of the wound on May q,
1887. The murderers fled to Kentucky and
were not heard from until a few weeks
ago, when it was discovered that they had
been in prison there for some years for
robbing and burning a house.

HENLEY BROUGHT HERE
SAYS HE is INNOCENT OF WRONG IN
THE PHOSPHATE DEAL.
Is Held on Charge of Obtainin q
Money Under False Pretenses
and EmbezzIement.

Detective Splan returned yesterday from
Baltimore with Thomas B. Henley in GUS
tody. Henley registered at the police sta
ton as a farmer and gave his address as
West Point, Va He was slated for obtaining
money by false pretense and embezZlement.
He does not look like farmer and was
understood to be a real estate dealer by
those who knew him in Baltimore.
Henley is wanted here for his part in an
alleged swindle in phosphate lands, an ac-
count of which was published in the Jour
nal Tuesday morning. Henley came here
a little over two years ago. He had in
terested James N. Huston. of Connersville,
former Treasurer of the United States, in
his scheme, and the two came to this city,
and in the course of time they associated
with themselves John III. Holiday, presi-
dent of the Union Trust Company; w. j.
Richards, one of the propfietors of the In
dianapolis News; ]. o. Henderson, ex-
Auditor Of State; H. A. Huston, J. NJ.
Thompson. E. w. Shirk, r. A. Edwards and
James @. Barcus
A company was formed with the inten-
ton of developing some phosphate beds in
Virginia. Henley represented that he knew
where there was a tract of i, 100 acres that
could be bought for $4,000, and which could
be secured by option for $1,000. 1t is said
ne showed representatives OIL the company
samples of the clay from the land, and
that upon his representation the $4,000 was
raised by the company and given to him. :
Before going any further some members
of the company insisted upon thorough
investigation, and this resulted in the dis
covery that the land was worthless as a
phosphate producer.
Members of the company were of course
sore and anxious to punish Henley, but
there did not seem to be any law to cover
the case. Later it was discovered that
the option had cost him but $780, and 1t
was believed that he had wrongfully re-
tanned the $500 for himself. An effort was
made to secure his arrest, but it was i'm
possible to have him extradited from Vir-
ginia.
few days ago tip was received that
Henley would be in Baltimore Tuesday, and
a requisition for his arrest was issued and
placed in the hands of Detective Splan. At
baltimore Splan learned that Henley had
gone to Philadelphia, and while he went to
Annapolis to get eXtradition papers a Bal
timore officer went to Philadelphia and an
other watched the railroad station for Hen
lev to return. Captain Splan returned to
Baltimore Tuesday afternoon, and had
hardly reached his hotel when Henley came
in from Philadelphia.
Il know what you want, said Henley
when Splan and the Baltimore officer APP
preached him. It's that Indiana phos-
phate case"
This wa all he said On the way to this
CITY he tod Splan thar he may have done
wrong acts in his life, but he was innocent
of any violation of law in this case.

KNOCKED OUT THE WIND
THAT BRIBERY STORY PUNCTURED
AND NOW FALLS FLAT.
SiIas VI. Shepard and the Business
That Occasioned 1t.

Tt is reported that the man whom Pop
uist S. NJ Shepard had in mind as trying
to bride him was none other that W. "A.
Van Buren,, one of the best-known lawyers
in Indianapolis, who bears the highest rep
utation. If / am the man referred to-
said Mr.. Van Buren, last evening, 1.-The
charge is simply nonsense. Captain
Shepard and 1 are near neighbors and very
friendly. On Sunday afternoon prior to
the Populistic convent on the captain called
on me and said he wanted me to do him
a favor; that he had been intrusted by his
party organization with the business of
procuring excursion rates to the conven-
ton and had neglected it. He was a mid
dle-of-the-road Populist, but afraid the
fusionsts would prevail unless he could
bring in the out counties. Would / not see
some Republican influential in railroad mat
tiers and arrange it? / asked him why he
did not go himself to such men ami he
said that it might subject him to criticism
if he was seen hobnobbing with Republicans
at that time. therefore called upon enc
man that evening and one in the morning.
Those two men we're the only ones L saw
and my conversation with them simply
about procuring rates and nothing else. 1
was unable to get the order desired and
went to Captain Shepard's office arri So in
formed him. We both expressed regret In
a spirit of pleasantly and badaage some
remarks were passed between us. Nothing
could have been more foreign to my mind
than an offer to unGuty influence him.
What / did and said was prompted by a
neighborly feeling and the Captain must
have misinterpreted some innocent re-
mark

BIG CLERMoNT RALLY.
Farmers Turn Out by Hundreds to
Herr Overstreet and Faris.

Farmers from Hendricks and Marion
counties turned out by the hundreds yes
terday to attend the all-day Republican
rally held in the Old Settlers picnic
grounds, two miles south of Clermont, near
the Hendricks county line. The picnic
grounds were crowded with vehicles
Everybody was there to have good time,
and make the most of the opportunity to
hear two of the most eloquent and enter
tanning speakers of the State, Hon. Jesse
Overstreet Republican Congressman from
this district and Hon. George w. Faris,
Republican Congressman from the Fifth
district Many people brou"4iG lunch bask-
cts and were prepared to stay all day.
At noon the Marion Glee Club left for
Clermont on a break, as 1t was on the pro-
gramme to furnish the music for the occa-
sion. Upon their arrival however, they
found a glee club composed of thirty young
ladies from Bridgeport and vicinity doing
good service. The boys were greeted with
much applause, and were encored again
and again
1t is estimated that over a thousand peo-
pie listened to the ringing speeches made.
w. A. Raglan presided 1t was nearly dark
when the meeting closed, and but few peo-
pie left until the last word was spoken and
the last song sung.

a BAD MAN CAUGHT.
PatrOlman Rogers Has His Hands
EuII in Arresting William Jones.

Patrolman Rogers had an encounter with
a colored man at Pennsylvania and Mar
ket streets yesterday morning. The man
had been in the office of Doctor Furniss,
on Indiana avenue, asking for aid. He
showed Doctor Furnss some letters. One
of them indicated that the man was the
negro who had killed man in Tennessee
and is wanted by the police down there.
Shortly after he left the Doctors office
patroman Rogers came in He was told
about the negro and at once started after
him. He caught up with him at Pennsyl-
vania and Market streets and placed the
man under arrest The negro fought des
perately and would have got away but Rog
ers called On byStanders for help and five
or six gave their assistance.
For five minutes the prisoner threw the
men who would capture him around like
toys. He fought and bit like demon. He
bit one man and a large piece Of cloth out
of another mans sleeve. Finally Rogers
seized Il piece of board that was on the
sidewalk and struck the man with it. This
subdued him somewhat and the men We're
able to hold him quietly until the patrol
wagon arrived. The man gave his name
as William Jones and his place of residence
as Belmont, Ala.

NO CHANCE FOR BRYAN.
Editor Matthews, of NOnconfOrmist.
Saws Defeat Is Certain.

Charles x. Matthews. editor of the Nom
conformist, returned to the city from the
ST. Louis conference of Populist leaders
yesterday. He said the chief purpose of the
conference was to discuss the action of
the Indiana Populists in declining to fuse
with the Democrats last week This action
he says. was emnently satisfactory to the
national leaders of the party and it is likely
that in some States the work of fusion,
already accomplished, will be undone, par
ticulariy in Nebraska and Kansas. THE
conference, said he, seemed to be of the
opinion that the Democrats are determined
to keep Sewall on the ticket and in that
case there can be no further fusion. We
are for Bryan as strong as anybody can
be, but We do not propose to DESTROY our
party by voting for such Democrat as
Sewall' Mr.. Matthews expressed the opin-
ion that with Sewall on the ticket Bryan
would only carry four or five Southern
States and the silver producing States of
the West and nothing more. He declares
that Watson has no intention whatever of
retiring from the field

CAMP GRAY SECRETS.
One Member ''FireG'' from Committee
Room-OnIy Fifteen to Rally.


Camp Grays fifteen members are con-
siderably wrought up over what they term
a great slight on the part of the Demo-
cratic county committee. There is one men,
Der of the camp who was disabled in the
war and has had little work for a year or
more. When the committee rooms were
opened it was the request of the camp that
this man be given employment as the repre-
sentative of the camp. This was all the
members asked The others did not need
work, but they wanted to see their comrade
doing something. Yesterday this comrade.
who was given work, was overheard relat-
ing his experience.
Rockford agreed to give me work." he
said 'and 1 went to the rooms and was
put to work copying. 1 worked a little over
two days and was then told that there was
no more work for me. l was paid S. for the
work l did. l went to Mr.. Robbins, presi-
dent of the club, and candidate for the
State Senate, and told him how 1 had been
treated. He said he would see about it,
but thus far-and that has been more than
a. week ago-he has done nothing. / went
to the meeting of the camp last Friday
night and asked that something be done. /
told very plainly that the camp would
do nothing more. | asked why it was that
the committee had employed 6fteen men
who are able to do without the work when
am so badly in need of it and Will not
give anything / have been compelled
to work for my board in a restaurant to
keep from starving, while those men could
all live, and live well, without the work"
In regard to this there is another little
story that is floating around in regard to
Camp Gray. snort time ago Chairman
Rockford, or his representative, went to
some members of the camp and told them
that as the meeting in Tomlinson Hall to-
night is to be Camp Gray affair it would
be best to reserve some seats for the MEM
beFs and have them all together. The
members simply laughed az him.
Why" said one of them. there are only
about fifteen of us. and on account of the
extremely small number we will rot even
march to the hall, it would be a dead give
away. And for you to reserve seats for US
roped off from the rest of the hall would
be equally as bad No. sir. you let US do as

John w. Foster. ex-Secretary of State
spent the day in this city yesterday on his
way home 20 Evansville. He talked enter
tainingly of Ii Hung Chang, whom he
knew very well in China. and concerning
whom he has recently written some maya
zine articles. Mr.. Foster declared that the
great Chinaman had no ulterer motive ia
his trip about the world. He had left
China TO attend the Russian coronation and
had simply decided to continue his jour
ney around the world in order to visit
the country he had heard so much of The
thing that interested him most here was
the tariff question.
