mt Marion.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MARION, Ind, March 19.-Judge r. r.
Stephenson, of Noblesville, who had been
selected TO try the bribery cases in which
seven different persons are indicted, called
up the case to-day. Prosecuting Attorney
Bundy asked for a special venre of forty
talesmen, which was granted. Ii was de-
cided that L. d. Baldwin, one of the attor-
neyS for the defense in the Crum-Evans
green goods case, should be placed on trial
first. Attorney John A. Kersey, for the
defense, withdrew the plea of not guilty
and offered motion to Cuash each sepa-
rate count of the indictment. Judge Ste
phenson stated that he would hear the ar
guments on this motion next Monday. The
defense then stated that il would need
John w. Crum and j. @. Evans as wit
neSseS, and asked that the warden of the
penitentiary at Michigan City be required
to have the two convicts in court Tuesday
morning This was granted. The selection
OF Baldwin for trial flrst is interpreted as
indicating that the prosecution regards this
as its strongest case. The matter is at
tracing great deal of attention, and the
indications are that the courtroom will be
crowded during the trial.

SEYMOUR, Ind, March 19.-The season

indications point to the harvesting of a
two-thirds crop. There has been a larger
acreage sown than in previous years, but
the recent floods covered many of the
fields. and the sediment in places which was
left by the waters is so deep that it has
ruined the wheat. Should there be no Sc
we're cold weather it can be safely stated
that the harvest will be as large as last
