CLARENCE CHESTEEN'S STRANGE
AFFIDAVIT IN A DAMAGE SUIT
Case in Which Mrs. Beaupree Got a
$4,000 Verdict-Her COunter-Afi-
davits-Matter to Be Investigated.

Mrs May C. Beaupree, of this city, got
judgment against the Citizens Street.
railroad Company for $4,000 for
injuries received by being struck
by car. Last Saturday her attorneys,
w. j. Beckett and Ayres & Jones, were
notified by the clerk of the Circuit Court
of Hendricks county, where the case was
tried, that the street-car company had filed
an affidavit signed by Clarence Chesteen
of Indianapolis testifying to the effect that
in the trial he had testified in favor of Mrs
Beaupree for a consideration OF fifty dol
lars that he was to receive for doing So
This affidavit was filed with motion for
new trial..
The attorneys for the plaintiff went to
Danville Saturday and appeared before the
court and asked the court to issue an order
to have Chesteen brought into court for
oral examination on the subject. The order
was issued, but as Saturday was the last
day of the term Judge Hadley refused to
take up the case until the beginning of the
fall term in September. In the meantime
counter affidavits will be filed by Mrs
Beaupree and her attorneys, and the case
will be fully Investigated as soon as pos
sible.
Attorney Latta, for the street-car COM
pdny, hdd nothing 10 say IN regard TO the
suit when seen yesterday. except to con-
firm the facts in the case. He gave the fol-
lowing history of the case: Mrs. Beaupree
was on a West Washington-street car on
Aug. 10, 1896. She signaled to the con-
ductor to stop at Senate avenue. and when
the car reached that point she started to
get off. In getting off she fell, as the car
was in motion. She had ten witnesses to
testify that the car started before she had
got off, and the street-car company had
twenty-five who said that the car did not
stop for her at all, but that she attempted
to alight after the car had passed Senate
avenue nearly one hundred feet. The case
came up for trial at Danville in January
and the jury disagreed. The second case
came up in the same court in March and
the jury awarded a verdict of $500, but
Judge Hadley failed to accept it. because
of some incompetency in the evidence The
last trial began in May, and the jury
finally awarded a verdict of $4,000 The
street-car company, through its attorney,
Mr.. Latta, made a motion for a new trial
on the grounds that the evidence admitted
was incompetent as the man Chesteen had
confessed perjury.

is 1t somebody's Joke.

New York Tribune.
AS every one knows. Mark Twain lives in
Hartford This fact gives much interest to
an article in the Hartford Times of Friday,
in which it says that the attempt TO raise
a fund for him because of his poverty must
be a huge joke. "Some of those" it says
who have been regarded as the most init
mate friends of Mr.. Clemens are greatly
puzzled by the continued talk about his
poverty. More of his friends would he very
glad to swap incomes with him to-day.
Let IL be understood, once for all, then,
that Mark Twain is neither actually poor
nor In distresss, nor is it conceivable that
he proposes to accept a dollar of gift
money from anybody. 1t is true that he
is somewhat burdened with debt, and it is
also true that the amount he is likely to
receive from the proceeds of his forthcom-
ing work to be published by the American
Publishing Company, of this city, will more
than liqudate his entire Indebtedness
Meantime he is in receipt (through his wife)
of the income from the sale of his twenty
or more copyrighted works, amounting to
several thousand dollars a year. He has
an offer of very large sum for a lecture
tour in this country. His wife is possessed
of considerable property, including two or
three handsome residences. They are trav-
cling in Europe with two or three serv-
ants al the present time.

1t was a bicycle that augmented the
trouble in the Allen family. James V. AL
len is suing Ella NJ. Allen for divorce, and
Judge McMaster is hearing the evidence in
the Superior Court. The Aliens have one
child, a boy of tender years. Last fall,
while they were living together on Fort
Wayne avenue, Allen got his wife a BIZ
cycle. She learned to ride, and when their
friend Jones wrote from Lebanon that he
would be over on a certain date. Mrs. Allen
rode out a few miles to meet him. 1t seems
that Jones was a oeyclfst, and they rode
into the city together. But they We're gone
a long time, claims Allen. who seems TO
have had his suspicious aroused.
A compromising letter was also intro
duced in evidence by the plaintiff 1t pur-
ported to have been written by Mrs. Allen
to a man named Fred Cox, another friend
of the family. But Cox never received the
letter, as the plaintiff claims he found it
in one of the drawers of his wife's dresser.
The letter was read to the court. Allen, at
the time of the trouble between him and
his wife, was employed at the Atlas engine
works,

CHECKS NOT MONEY.

A Point Raised by Defense in a Grim
inaI Court Case.
The prosecuting attorneys in the case of
the State against Thomas Kane, charged
with obtaining money under false pretenses
find themselves confronted by a rather pc
culiar state of affairs. 1t was charged in
the indictment against Kane that he had
procured $50 in money from the United
State Benevolent Society of Michigan by
fraudulent representation. Yesterday the
president of the society was put on the
stand and testified that Kane was paid the
money by checks drawn on Michigan
bank. The defense. maintains that checks
are not money. The attorneys for the de-
PENDANT also hold that the placing of checks
in the mail is presumed by the law to mean
delivery in the place where they were
Kane would be out of the jurisdiction of
this court. Judge McCray adjourned court
yesterday to look up authorities on these
questions

ST. Louis & Chicago Railway.

United States Investor.
The litigation which has been pending for
a long time in the affairs of the st. Louis
& Chicago Railway. subsequently known as
North and South of Illinois, and now OPP
Grated by the St Louis, Peoria e. Northern
Railway Company does not appear to be
ended by any means, despite the recent
changes in the management of the property.
1t will be recalled that in 1890 what is
known as the new committee was formed
to protect the interests of the first con-
solidated mortgage bondholders of the ST.
Louis a Chicago Railway Company. The
committee consists of Charles Gregory,
Geo. f. Cummings, Charles Francis harry
and T. c.. Delavan, secretary. The commit
tee represents some $4,000 out of about
$40, 600 of the bonds originally deposited
with the Holland Trust Company, Of New
York, and is still pursuing the litigation in
this matter. which also covers the property
known as the Mt. Olive Coal and Coke Com
pany. The case is now on appeal and it
is likely that other suits may be instituted
before long.
1t is claimed that clear title cannot be
given to the property until such litigation
is finally ad1udicated.
