NOW OUT OF COURT
HEBRON WILL CASE YESTERDAY
STRICKEN FROM THE DOCKET.
No Bond Was FfIed-An Appeal I'm su-
preme Court-The Rocker
Murder Trial.

The suit to set aside the will Of the late
John Heron, which bequeathed large sum
or money TO the Indianapolis Art Associa-
ton. was yesterday thrown out OF the Cir
cult Court, where it was filed six months
ago. The action to break the will was
begun by Emma Harrison and others, rela-
tives OF Mr.. Heron. About six weeks ago
the plaintiffs came into court through their
attorneys. Mcbride & Denny, and asked to
be allowed to prosecute their suit as poor
persons. This action was taken to avoid
the statute requiring them to file a bond.
The executor OF the Heron estate demurred
TO the petition and Judge Brown heard a
lengthy argument on the question. He de-
cided against the plaintiffs, however, and
gave them thirty days in which TO file the
usual bond. AT the same time he warned
the plaintiffs counsel that the case would
be stricken from the docket if at the ex-
piration of the thirty days bond had not
been filed. The plaintiffs having appealed
from the decision TO the Supreme Court, did
not furnish the required bond and Judge
Brown ordered the cause removed from the
record. The attorneys for the plaintiffs say
they are confident Of a reversal in the SUI
preme Court and will then refile the COM
plant.

COMBINATION SHOW THIS WEEK.
Much Interest I'm. the Trial of the
BloOdhOunds.

The intention of the managers Of the
Poultry and Pet Stock Show, which begins
at Tomlinson Hall tomorrow, to have a
trial test for the bloodhounds, has awakened
considerable interest on the part of the
nublic. The management has been agree
ably surprised at the numerous entries, and
IL is now announced that about twenty OF
these dogs will participate in the hunt. AL
though these remarkably sagacious animals
figured in history for nearly two hundred
wears. they are not common in this section
of the country. Their presence. therefore,
at the Tomlinson Hall exhibit and the fact
that they are to demonstrate the keenness
of their scent and ability to do detective
work. lends additional interest to them at
this time The bloodhound was common and
much in use in England in 1900. but is now
rare. Early in American history the dog
was used for the pursuit and capture of
slaves. an employment which rendered the
name odious in the minds or many Adolf
tionsts Many interesting stories are re-
lated of the sagacity and determination of
the hounds in following a track upon which
they had been set, even after great effort
had been made to obliterate all scent or
evidence OF the course taken. Away back
IN 1886 lust a century ago, these dogs were
imnorted into Jamaica to be used in sup
pressing the Maroon inSurrectIon, and
many interesting facts are related Of their
extraordinary daring and faithfulness. This

FROM SEvEyTY-FlvE CITIES.


Superintendent Colbert has received
requests from no less than seventy
i've different police departments for photo
graphs OF Charles A. Hardin, the express
robber. who is in Jail here under the charge
of diamond robbery. 1t seems he is wanted
at various points.
Hardin says he was sure to come to grief
here as soon as he saw that he and his
wife were living in a house with an in its
number. His wife is afraid of No. s, while
he regards as an uniucky figure TO him.
He says when he rented a room on West
Ohio street, he looked for and found 1t
was not there, but forgot all about his
wife's "hoodoo." The first day they started
out the landlady told him the house was
No. 12S, and he felt as If some one had
struck him with an ak. he says. He regards
his attempt to rob 81 Massachusetts, ave-
nue. as another fatal error.
Mooney & Boland's detective agency, at
Chicago, has about the same record of Har-
din and his wife as that given by the Pink
ertons, but they give more details OF the
woman's life. The agency says the woman
is the daughter of respectable parents, and
that she fell In love with Hardin and mar
ried him against their wishes. He taught
her to be pickpocket and then forced her
to become shoplifter, an offense for which
she has been arrested three times. 1t is
said she Is not wholly bad and If away
from her husbands influence might lead
an honest life. Chief Splan says the woman
did not appear much afraid Of her husband,
or OF any one else, for that matter.

A NOTED DOCTOR DEAD.

DR.. Fauvel, who recently died at Paris,

world OF any doctor in his special branch

be said that he was mercenary: Specialists
can ask what fees they like. FauvelS fee
for looking at throat in his own consult
ing room was 50f. He founded thirty years
ago an infrmary, where he treated poor
people for nothing.
Innumerable were the singers and public
speakers whose voices he saved. Among his
patients were Gambetta, Queen Isabella, the
Emperor of Brazil the King of Roumania

Vries was greatly patronized by the i'm

utter ruin of her health. His great claim
was to cure cancer. 1t was found that his
treatment was violently mercurial and that
it drove the cancerous poison into the in

show up all that had been observed OF
Vries's practice. He deputed Fauvel tC

SAME OLD INSTRUCTIONS.
Police Ordered to See that Liquor
Laws Are Obeyed To-Day.

This morning Captain Quigley received
written instructions from Superintendent
Colbert to direct the patrolmen to pay at
tention to the saloons and see that the
liquor laws are observed to-day. He also
directed that the officers report all viola
tons or attempted violations of the law
that come under their notice. The order
was promulgated at roll call this morning
The Superintendent said last night that the
officers are so instructed every Sunday.
Either the patrolmen have been derelict
in duty and have failed to obey the COM
mands of their superior officers in the past
two or three months or else it is tacitly
understood the order is farcial, and not to
be obeyed. 1t remains to be seen whether
the law will be observed to-day and whether
arrests will follow it's violation.

A LIMIT TO EXPERT TESTIMONY.
Judge McCray Will Have No Host Of
Doctors i'm Rocker Case.

The Rocker murder trial will begin in the
Criminal Court on Monday. There are two
indictments against Rocker. One charges
him with the murder of his wife, Margaret
Rocker, Sept. 8, 1895, and in the other he
is accused Of attempting to murder Emma
PEGS. The latter has recovered from the
injury inflicted by Rocker and will appear
as the chief witness for the State. Rocker
will be defended by attorneys Healing and
Hugg. Willard Robertson, whose term Of
Office as county attorney expired Jan. /,
will assist in the defense. Judge McCray
thinks the trial will run two weeks on ac-
count OF the large number CT witnesses to
be examined. Rockers attorneys will enter
special plea OF insanity for their client.
Il don't propose 10 have half the doctors
in the city testifying as expert witnesses in
this case, said Judge McCray yesterday.
There is no sense in permitting lawyers to
run up a big expense for expert testimony
1 intend to limit both sides on this cnarac-
ter of evidence. Two expert witnesses On
each side will be enough to bewilder any
jury"

MAY BE AN EXTRA SESSION.
Depends ON AppOrtiOnmcnt Decision
by the Supreme Court.

According to Charles E. Shively, State
Senator from Wayne county. the possibility
of an extra session of the Legislature Is
not too remote to be considered. He eX-
pressed 1t as his opinion yesterday that if
the Supreme Court should declare the ap-
portionment law of 1895 unconstitutional, it
would also declare the law of 1898 unconsti-
tutional. This would leave the State with
out an apportionment of any kind for leg
islative purposes. and the only thing that
could be done would be to call extra ses-
sion of the Legislature to make provision
for the election of new Representatives.
