FRANK l.. THOMAS

1t was talked upon the streets today,
that Sutherlin had made the statement
that he would die before he would re-
turn again to the peritentlary on life
sentence. If this be true, Sheriff Mar
shall should be on the alert. SutherIin,
is known in Marshall county. He is a
man that would resort to desperate
deeds when he sees his last hope van
ish. Sheriff Marshall is good officer
and humane man.
Sutherlin has nothing to commend
him. If he Is innocent the jury Will so
declare. But the jury has not yet rem
dered verdict. a number Of good
people in Marshall county have heard
the statements quoted above. For
the protection of Sheriff Marshall,
and Bondurant, who has this man in
charge, this article is written Both
officials mentioned are brave and true,
and they are good men, and the people
of Marshall county don't want to see
them, or hear of them, taking any
chances with Sutherlin.

II. q. Thaysr I'm Peru.

There was a large audience at the NJ.
+. church last night to the lecture of
Hon. III. G. Thayer, of Plymouth. His
subject was "The Apostle Paul" The
lecture was decidedly scholarly one
dwelling upon the different shades of
character in the life of the great apostle
and was embellished with frequent
classical and historical illusions touch
ing the times of the early Christians
Mr.. Thayer lived in Peru good many
years ago and his father was school
teacher. The old gentleman was a
preacher also In after years. lie is still
living and some Of his old time pupils
in the Peru schools will be glad to hear
from him in this way.

How does this sound.

The second hearing of the case of the
state VS.. William Sutherlln, for the
murder of Ed Fetters, will be called III
the circuit court at Plymouth next
Monday, Jan. "a. A venire of 100 tales
men has been drawn, and both state
and defense announce completed cases
and will be ready for trial. 1t Is report
ed that Sutherlln will admit the killing
and plead self defense-claiming that
he had suspected an improper intimacy
between his wife and FetteTs, and that
he accused Fetters of it on their return
from Knox that night. a quarrel en-
sued Fetters drew knife and Suther.
lin shot him, after a fruitless attempt
to quiet him with club. This sounds
vastly different from the story he told
when arrested. At that time he denied
any acquaintance or association with
Fetters. Ii a plea of self defense is in

did not deliver set speech, but only
dealt in random shots. He said he
thought that a Judge had as good d

politics and express an opinion. In
this particular we think he is about
right There were large mum ber OF

Gus speakers were loudly applauded.
1t was quite evident that it is the In
tentiOn of the republicans to make {
hard fight in the coming campaign. o.
course every thing was cut and dried
and outside OF the speeches there il
very little to report. The convention
was composed of an intelligent class OF
citizens, and the flow of oratory wa,

he; There is the mysterious third per
son who doubtless is chargabl with
this crime, if the body Is that of I'd
Fetters.
In scathing terms, Mr.. Marllndale
assaIled Dan Roner, l'aZ Mitchell and
FL Foley. charging That il they would
tell the ruth. their necks would go 10
the halter. The body of The dead man
was not buried Oh Nov III. The cOndl
ton of the grave on Dec IL, indicated
that it was newly made grave. The
dirt was fresh: the body could not have
been buried for three weeks. The grave
would have sunk and cracked about
he sides, il i, had. HIS theory was that
the body was concealed hy Dan ROher
until suitable time 10 bury it, There
was no evidence, said the attorney, that
Fetters ever owned the. team.
The only money that Fetters had was
Sl5S III July which ne got of Mike
>peisshoifer After getting this he run
after "A Warsaw woman and came back
to Plymouth lii August without a cent.
Mr.. Mariindaie did not think Fetters
had wad OF money, and severely crit
icized the witnesses who had so testified
He, however, took occasion to compile
ment Harry Bernetha who had charge
of the prosecution, stating that he is as
good prosecutor as the district has
ever had. But the prosecutor, he
though, has been deceived by uncredlt-
able witnesses.
The state wants a conviction on i'm
aginatiOn.
If they left Knox at o'clock they
would reach Aunt Eliza's about o'clock
But the evidence shows that the strug
/ gle took place near the election school
house at nearly . o'clock or thereabOut
The best point made 10y Mr. Martindale
was In regard to the blood. There was
no blood on the dead mans body or
clothing. He must have been killed
instantly. OF necessity his blood would
have all been spilled al one spot. But
at the place OF the killing, the ground
had the appearance of hard struggle.
other person in that fight must have
| been wounded Who was 1t? Ii was
not Sut lerlin for he had no wounds
The attorney thought that the man who
kept hid for several weeks after the
tragedy was the man whose blood mil
gled with that of the dead man near
| the election school house.
1t was Mr. Martlndale's idea that
Grace Primley was at the scene OF the
murder when Fetters lost his life, and
| lntimated that the dead man lost his
life in drunken light, prompted by a
contention for harlOt's favor.
In conclusion, ne made tender al
peal in behalf of the little girl and wife
OF the defendant, who would be deprived
of father and husband, if verdict
against the prisoner is given.
Mr. Berneha then closed for the
state He complemented the ability oi
Mr.. Martinda!e and related an incident
In Martindale's career when he. won his
case with odds tremendously against
his client. A juryman when asked how
he could vote to acquit in view of the ev
dence which was all against the accused
replied that 1t was the case until after
Mr.. Martindale made his speech. Mr
Bernetha implied that Mr.. Martindalt
had furnished the evidence himself il
this case. Mr. Bernetha was still re
viewing the evidence as we go TO press
