MARION, Ind, May 30-William Johnson.
George Achor and Mrs. Sarah f. Achor
were arrested to-day at the instance of
Coroner KimbalI and held for causing the
death of Mrs William Johnson through
neglect. Last Tuesday Mrs. Johnson gave
birth to child. Until Thursday night she
was absolutely without medical attention,
and even then a physician was called only
in response to the demands of the neigh
hors. who threatened the husband with
prosecution. Johnson. according to his own
description. is a saint" who believes in the
faith cure alone, and when asked for a
reason for the neglect of his wife Invariably
replied that she was in the hands of God
who would care for her far better than any
human physician. Even after the doctor
was called Thursday Johnson refused to ad-
minister the medicine which was left by the
physician. Friday afternoon the woman
died. Arrangements were made to take the
body to Decatur for burial the next day
and had 1t not been for the interference of
the coroner, who required the body to be
held and Johnson and the Achors kept as
witnesses, the victim would have been be-
meath the sod before an investigation could
have proceeded. An inquest was held. and
to-uey tHc COIOlleI ueClueQ Jnat death was
due to neglect, and recommended that john
son and the AchoTs be held for murder All
the evidence indicates that the woman
might have been saved with "a reasonable
degree of attention. The Achors are the
spiritual advisers of the sect known as the
Christian Scientists" in West Marion
Johnson is a convert who had been saved
for about eighteen months. The Achors
state that they did not want johnson to
send for physician because they did not
want his faith destroyed, and they attribute
the death of the woman to "a lack of faith
in her Lord" Much of the time the poor
woman was delirious utterly unable to
make her wants known. During her con-
hnement visitors to her bedsire were linn
tied to the children of God" Among their
peculiar ILLUSTRATIONS was the amounting
OF the husband with oil. This ceremony
consists in putting olive oil on the head
ana then kneeling in prayer. This was per-
formed by Elder Key, of Sweetser, who
is pastor of the Church of Cod at that
place. The death of Mrs. johnson is the
second that has occurred in Grant county
from neglect due to similar superstition
Mrs Bragg. of Sweetser. being the other
victim This second affair has stirred SEN
slble people to such degree of indignation
that determined attempt will made to put
stop to it. The prosecuting attorney will
endeavor to secure a special grand jury to
consider the case, and he will do his utmost
to secure indictment and conviction.

READY FOR ARGUMENTS.
State Has Made Out Strong Murder
Case Against Thrawley.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
RICHMOND, Ind, May 3O-The intro
duction of evidence in the trial of John
Thrawley, who is charged with the murder
of Rufus Shoemaker in Henry county, came
to end this evening, and the argument
will begin in the morning r. E. Kirk
man, the Wayne county prosecutor. w. r.
Steele, the Henry county prosecutor, and
Richard A. Jackson will make the speeches
in behalf of the state, and Judge NJ E.
Forkner and Will Browne, both of New
Castle for the defense. The defense rested
defendant on the stand. The chief witness
of the morning was DR. Jacob r. Weist
He gave it as his opinion that the holes
made in Shoemaker's skull were not of the
kind to be made by pistol held in close
contact.
Mrs. Thrawley was recalled by the pros
ecution, but nothing of great interest was
secured from her. Joseph K. Moghul tes-
titled to a conversation with Mrs Thrawley
in which she acknowledged that she and her
husband had planned to get money out of
Shoemaker. One of the best points made by
the denfense was that Dr. s. s. Farris took
grains of powder from Thrawley's face
after he was locked in the New Castle Jail.
Luther Modlin, eX-treasurer of Henry coun-
ty testified that a number of year sage he
had observed the powder marks in Thraw-
ley's face. Thrawleys hope now lies in the
argument of his attorneys.

Our great victory at Manila can
practically be summed up, in the
language of another American naval
hero. I'VE have met the enemy and
they are ours" and should go long
way towards bringing the war to a
close. Another victory like it would
mean that Spain would be forced to
yield and such seems to be a foregone
conclusion in the great naval battle
which is to be fought in a few days
either at Porto Rico or in Cuban
waters. With the Spanish navy in
both hemispheres destroyed the
Spanish people with their foolhardi-
ness could hardly hope to make any
further Roadway in the prosecution
of the war and peace must be the
result even if Spain would not con
sent to it. The hopeless and unequal
contest would call for the inter
yention of the great powers, friendly
to that nation, whose interests would
suffer by the continuation of the war.
In fact, it is stated, that assurances
have been given to our Government
by Great Britain, Russia, France and
other nations that as soon as the
United States had taken Cuba, Spain
will be informed that the war must
end. 1t now begins to look as if the
prediction made by Cabinet officer
Monday that the war would end in
sixty days would be verified.
