in THE FEDERAL COURT
MOUNT VERNON BANK CASE TO BE
TAKEN UP.
Number of Criminal Cases Disposed
Of-Matters in the state
Courts.

Judge Baker has issued an order for the
federal grand jury to gather June Is. 1t is
expected that Il sensation will develop in
the Mount Vernon bank case when the jury
acts. United States District Attorney Wish
ard has gone to Mount Vernon to get the
books of the bank, Albert Wade, the cashier
of the bank, is under indictment for en-
bezzling $4,000 of the bank funds, and evil
dence has been secured indicating that
others besides Wade are implicated. An ex-
pert has been at Mount Vernon examining
the books of the bank, and it is believed
that his efforts combined with those of Mr..
Wishard, will be productive of several in
dictments in the case to add to that of
Wade.
1t was thought that ex-Surveyor Haynie,
of Evansville, facing the charge of Marshall
Cooke, who was fined and sentenced for en-
bezzling while he was deputy surveyor at
Evansville, that Hayr1ie had appropriated
all of Cookies salary of $500 year except
$40 a week and his strong declaration that
Cooke was lying to help his case would end
the matter, but yesterday it was stated that
District Attorney Wishard will visit Evans
vile before he returns from his trip and
investigate Cookies charge.
Mrs Malinda Trump, of Union Mills, near
hdpOTIe, was dCQuIllSQ y6SlSTOdy ny d jury
in the Federal Court of charge of sending
an obscene picture through the mails. She
was indicted on a statement of John
Trump, her divorced husband, that he had
seen her have a vile picture which after
wards Mrs. Joseph Hollingsworth, of the
same town, found in a letter addressed to
her husband. During the trial of Mrs.
Trump several of the witnesses against her
were impeached by ner attorney, Mortimer
Nye, and it seemed that the case against
Mrs. Trump was the result of spite work
in the village. Mrs. Trump has already filed
suit against Joseph Trump, father of her
former husband, and will bring others
against John Trump and several of the wit
nesses against her for malicious prosecu-
ton.
Judge Baker yesterday sentenced the
Church gang for the robbery of the Leba-
non postoffice. Harry Church and Joseph
Davis each got five years in the Ohio peni-
tertiary and Harry Warner and Charles
Howard each got four years. In addition
each was fined 800. Davis told the court
that he had been bounded by the Indianap-
oils police until he had been forced to give
up several positions and make a dishonest
living.
George B. Rogers, who opened a bogus
employment agency here, was sentenced to
ninety days in the county workhouse. He
pleaded guilty.
Charles D. Fraser, a saloon keeper of
Lafayette, was fined $40 and costs because
he did not keep his special tax receipt ex-
posed in his place.

OF Objectionable goods through the mail.
Albert Itgen, the graduate of Columbia
College and Heidelberg, who was found gull
ty of working a crooked pension game, was
