Eminent Counsel Employed in the
Love Case.

Eminent Counsel Employed in the
Love Case.
The case of Robert Love, who is charged
with the murder of George Anderson, will
be called for trial at NOTES.-THE On Monday
next. John S. Duncan will defend Love.
Charles S. Wiltsie, former prosecuting at
torney for this county, and W. n. Harding
will conduct the prosecution. A peculiar
situation Of affairs compelled the Marion
County Commissioners, they claim, to ap-
point two lawyers for the prosecution. The
board has grown tired Of paying heavy fees
to attorneys appointed by courts of other
counties in changes of venue, and it was
decided some time ago to send a lawyer
from this county to prosecute the Love case
The board also took the view that as Love
was to have strong defense the state should
be well represented. Two or three weeks
ago it was arranged that Charles s.
Wiltsie, who was familiar with the grand
jury proceedings in the Love case, should
conduct the prosecution.
on Monday hast a letter was received from
the Hamilton county court announcing that
unless the commissioners could send an at
torney to Noblesville at once TO so to work
on the case the court would select some one
in Hamilton county to represent the state
On receipt of this letter the commissioners
learned that Mr.. Wiltsie. not being in rug
ged health was out of the city. AS ii was
not definitely known when he would return
or whether he would be able to take part in
the trial, sthe board appointed w. n. Hard
ing to prosecute the case and the attorney
went at once to Noblesville. Yesterday Mr.
Wiltsie returned 10 the city and expressed
himself as being ready to SO to work. As
the commissioners had already employed
him to undertake the prosecution, they felt
that they could not break the contract and
Mr.. Wiltsie was instructed to join Mr.. Hard
ing at Noblesville.
The crime for which Love is to be tried
was committed three or four years ago.
Love is a colored man and his victim,
George Anderson, was coloreG. The men had
trouble over a game of craps and a tragedy
was the result. Anderson was shot down
and his slayer escaped. fe was afterward
arrested in California and brought back TO
this city, The shooting took place west of
the river

Mayor TaEgart Can Force Gas Com
panies to BE Fair.

Mayor Taggart and City Attorney Kern
are working ON a plan for the relief of the
gas consumers of the city. Both officials be-
lieve that the present laws are ample to Sc
cure to the citizens ali their rights as con-
sumers Of natural gas. There are two sec
lions of the natural gas ordinances upon
which much reliance is placed. One pro-
vides for pressure of four ounces at the
point of delivery and the other provides that
after ten years the gas rates may be re-
vised. The mayor disclaims any intention
to harass the companies, but insists on the
citizens having what they pay Tor and only
paying for what they receive. The natural
gas ordinances came into effect in 1887 ana
have therefore been in operation ten years,
and the city has the right to revise the
rates. The mayor is also in favor of estab-
fishing public gauges where the pressure
can be known at any time.

BaiiiG,s word Didn't Count.

The appeal of William Messenger, impris
oned for life for killing Charles Nelson, at
San Pierre, Ind was denied by the SUI
preme Court yesterday. The basis for the
appeal was that Messenger says he heard
bailiff say, as he was esc0rting the jury
from the courtroom. that they would be
a good deal older than they were before
the judge would let them out unless they
agreed" The court held, however that it
had not been clearly shown that such a re-
mark had been made or that even If it
had been made, that it had harmed the case
for Messenger.
