NDIANA'S LYNCHING.
Futile Attempt to Convict the Al
legged Leader Of the Mob.
THE PRISONER SET AT LIBERTY,

Attorney General Ketcham G oes Back
to Report to Governor Mount-"ItIs Is
EVIDENT" He Says, "the Five Men
Broke Jail and Hanged Themselves"
Cross Plains, Ind, March 2.-There
never was such large gathering of
humanity in Cross Plains jim Its history
as there was to hear the closing argu-
ments in the Hughes trial. The de-
fendant's attorneys were Rebuck,
Cravens and Thompson. The states
attorneys were Attorney General
Ketcham and II. D. McMullen. The
state harped a great deal on the tes-
timony Of Charles Kelly, whom they
had brought from the reform school
at Plainfeld. The past character Of
Kelly laid before Justice Craig. was
decidedly in favor of the defendant.
While the arguments of Cravens and
Rebuck were strong and impressing,
that of Marion Thompson was most
effective.
Probably the most sensational part
Of the argument was Mr.. Thompson
accusing Governor Mount and Attorney
General Ketcham of bringing Kelly
here to testify against Hughes on the
promise of giving him his liberty from
the reform school. Mr.. Ketcham denied
this.
Squire Craig said, in his decision in
the case of the state of Indiana against
Hezekiah Hughes for numbering Henry
Schuter in the Versailles Jail on the
night of Sept. II, 1897 y
bo, in tha lo$
men wounded, bleed and fall dead upon
the battlefield, but this is the hardest
task that has ever befallen me. While
I believe that 200 men in the mob are
guilty Of lynching the Ave men in the
Versailles jail, | must and do declare,
according to testimony given In this
case. that Hezekiah Hughes is not
guilty"
Attorney General Ketcham, after the
decision was at once driven to Dills-
boro to catch train to indianapolis,
where he today reported to the gov
ernor. Before leaving here the at
torney general said at is evident
from all the evidence obtainable that
the five men broke Jail and hung

their presence in Versailles has never
been needed.
Hughes is receiving congratulations
from his friends from all quarters.
1t is not known what the next move
Of the governor will be, but 1t Is sup
posed that he will not do anything for
while at least. Rumors that the
governor will prosecute witnesses for
perjury have not been verified.
The release of Hughes was a disap-
pointment to Governor Mount, who said
he expected that Hughes would be
held for grand jury action The gov
ernor said that the investigation would
not be dropped
