Special 10 the indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON. Ind, March 15.-The Van
Hoorebeke trial was resumed at noon to-
day. Witnesses to-day related stories of the
awful cruelty practiced on his wife by Van
HoorebeKe. some of which were almost be
yond belief. Mrs. Michael Carroll a Neigh
Dor. and from whose husband Van Hoore-
beke purchased the farm where he resided,
testified that Var. Hoorebeke introduced the
Pritz woman his wife and that they
occupied the same sleeping apartment. COM
polling the real Mrs. Van Hoorebeke to take
a little upstairs room. Mr.. Carroll con-
firmed what his wife said and then related
stories of cruel treatment on the part of the
Belgian that made profound impression
on the jury. Mr.. Carroll said that he COM
menced TO work for Van Hoorebeke about
the middle Of August, and that one even
ing he heard Mrs. Van Hoorebeke say to
her husband: Il just can't stand this any
longer and [ won't" whereupon he stepped
up to her and dealt her blow full in the
face, knocking her TO the floor. A few
mornings after this Van Hoorebeke found
his wife standing in the front yard near
the house and Knocked her against the
building calling her vile name at the
same time.
On another occasion Carroll was passing
smokehouse and, hearing noise inside,
opened the door. Van Hoorebeke had his
and was choking her. What you do
ing there Van Hoorebeke??" exclaimed the
witness. whereupon the former released his
wife. but did not make any reply to his
question. Later that day Van Hoorebeke
asked the witness TO say nothing of what
had taken place in the smokehouse as he
did not want the neighbors to get on"

fled that they had seen Van Hoorebeke re-
peatedly knock his wife down. Miss Clara

sister and that she was kept half starved
During the time she remained at the Van
Hoorebeke home the abused wife was per-
mitted to come to the table but three times
and was compelled to remain upstairs most
of the time. Miss Thumb said that Van
HoOrebeke would frequently compel his
wife to dance about the floor and bark like
