REDMOND MURDER CASE.
Grand Jury Will Probably Return an
Indictment To-Day.

The county grand jury yesterday re-
opened the investigation of the Redmond
murder, and an indictment will probably
be returned to-day. 1t was five months ago
to-day that the murder was committed.
There is a mistaken impression about the
city that the grand jury refused to indict
Burton. On the contrary. the jury has been
ready to find bill against the man when
ever the evidence would warrant such a
proceeding, and has done all in its power to
aid the police department in bringing Red
mond slayer to justice. AT its last session
the jury delayed its adjournment day or
two in order to give the police department
time to produce something tangible in the
way of evidence against Burton Yesterday
the witnesses from Greenwood were exam
ined as to their knowledge of Burton's pres
ence in that village about the time OF the
murder.
Firemen, police officers and other en-
poyes of the city were gratified yesterday
morning to read that Redmond's murderer
had been discovered, and they were not
Taylor, of Tennessee, to pardon the man
Burton in order that he might be brought
here for trial.
Little is known of Burton here. 1t is
known, however, that he came here only
four or five days before the Redmond muir
der He was accompanied by a man named
Franklin, who, with him, had shortly before
been released from the penitentiary at Co
lumbus o. They had been sent ul from
PORTSMOUTH LOT highway FODDeTy ana WnllS
there made the acquaintance of Carl Har-
yey. They came here to see Harvey. and
Franklin stayed with John Moore, black
smith living on Cypress street while Bur-
ton stayed with Harvey at Phillips's feed
store on Massachusetts avenue. Franklin
was arrested as suspect q day or two
after the murder, but he showed conclusive
ly that he was not in the vicinity of Job
Eldridge's store when the robbery was at
tempted and the murder committed.
Harvey and Phillips both refused to talk
of the case yesterday they did the day
before. There is. however noticeable
change in their demeanor. During their in
generation. since the first strain passed
away, they have maintained a careless de-
meanor and have rarely spoken of the case
except to stoutly deny, their guilt They
had become accustomed to the Jail and
have lived a thOUghtless life, and as the
time passed and nothing was heard of the
actual murderer, they seemed to grow easy
Yesterday they had less to say to the other
prisoners and spent the most of the day
reading or pretending to sread. They were
considerably more quiet than usual. When
asked what they thought OF the Burton
confession they shook their heads and re-
fused to talk.

FUNERAL OF THE BLACKS.
Two Young Men Who Gave Up Their
Lives for Their Brother.

The funeral of Drew and Lee Black, the
heroic young men drowned in Fail creek
Saturday evening while rescuing a younger
brother from the water, took place at 2:30
o'clock yesterday afternoon from the Third
Christian Church, the pastor, Rev. Burris
A Jenkins, conducting the services.
Long before the hour announced for the
services, the house was filled with people.
Many who were unable to get in the house
stood outside at the windows and listened
to the words of the pastor. There was sor-
row and sympathy in every heart for the
stricken family. Two hearses travelling
side by side bore the collins from the fam
lily home at No 403 Cornell avenue to the
church. The collins were covered with the
floral offerings of friends. One large design
of flowers represented the ''gates ajar."
Another floral design was a heart and
trumpet. The music was by the church
choir under the leadership of G. r. kenne-
dy. Two of the selections rendered were
Gathering Home One by One" and Some
Sweet Day" After prayer Mr.. jenkins
read from the scripture and then preached
a short funeral discourse. HE spoke tender
words of compassion for the mother, sister
and brother He referred to the dead as ne
had known them in life; OF thelr noble
young manhood and Of their last hours to-
gether. In q Southern city, he Sa1d there
was deep sorrow over this tragic happen
ing, referring to the city of Lexington KY,
where Drew and Lee Black had attended
theological school Mr. jenkins recalled an
incident of a few days ago when ne had
gone over to the factory where the young
men were employed and found the elder
brother engaged in reading from Moodys
sermons at noon. The men were gathered
about him and he was reading aloud to
them. The pastor was greatly impressed
with the incident Mr. Jenkins said the
mother ought to feel comforted in this
hour. She should feel that it was but
brief time that separated her from her
loved ones She could take comfort too IN
the thought that she had brought her boys
up pure and spotless in the eyes of the
Lord To the sister and brother the pastor
also spoke words of comfort. The hearts
of those who heard the remarks of the
minister were deeply touched and there
were many moist eyes.
A great many people attended the serv-
ices at the grave in Crown Hill Cemetery.
A large representation of men from the In
dianapolis veneer works. where Drew and
Lee Black were temporarily employed, were
present in the church and at the cemetery.
The collins were placed side by side. Those
who carried the coffin of Drew Black to
the grave were: Earl Gentry, Percy Chew
alier, John Nicholas, Maurice Juday, VIII
Conner and Z. Richardson The pallbear-'
ers for the younger brother were VIII Nc
Hatton Charles Lorriet, Charles McAlpin,
Harry Mintor, Austin Washburn and Chas.
