HIGHER COURT DECISIONS.
New Appeal May BE Filed in the
Bridgewater Case.

The Supreme Court yesterday granted per-
mission to the attorneys of William Bridge
water sentenced to life Imprisonment for
the murder of Ollister Wharton, to file
new appeal and the old one was dismissed.
Wharton accompanied Bridgewaters wife
home from a Sunday picnic. She was en-
ployed at a house in Woodruff Place.
Bridgewater had not been living with his
wife for two years, but he hid behind a
tree and stabbed Wharton in the back when
Wharton left Mrs. Bridgewater at the door.
Wharton was colored as is Bridgewater.
James Davis, another murderer, failed in
his attempt to get out of prison through the
Supreme Court. He and Barney Robards
were sentenced to not more than twenty
five years Imprisonment for the killing of
John Newkrk marshal of Judson, Parke
county. The two went on a hunt for the
marshal with shotguns when they learned
he intended to arrest them for disturbing
the peace. One of them shot him dead and
though each accused the other of the deed,
both were sent TO prison.
The Supreme Court decided that John
Reed, of Bartholomew county, surely did
not mean to disinherit his descendants when
he said in his will that his property should

ley, of the Supreme Court, said it could not
be presumed that Reed intended to dis
inherit his descendants in favor of others
unless his will expressly set it out.

]. B. COCKRUM SELECTED
RECEIVER FOR INDIANAPOLIS &
BROAD RIPPLE COMPANY.
Appointment Made on Petition of state
Bank of Indiana-News of
l.t the Courts.

Late yesterday evening Judge Carter APP
pointed John B. Cockrum receiver Of the
indianapolis & Broad Ripple Rapid Transit
Company on the petition of the State Bank
Of Indiana, the company confessing judg-
ment for about $4,000 in favor of the bank.
The complaint set out that the company by
Rowland 7. Mcdonald, issued it's notes to
the bank late last year for the various
amounts mentioned. In the first complaint
filed there were exhibits of various notes
issued by the company. The first was for
IS, 200, executed Nov. 8, 1898; the second for
$1,000 issued on the same date; the third
for 1854, issued Jan. 2, 1899; another for
81, 500 issued Jan. 16, 1859. and one for $500
issued Dec 8, 1898. John b. Elan and w.
II. II. Miller appeared for the company.
There was some discussion of whether an
attorney representing certain creditors
might act as receiver, and Mr.. Coclrum adj
duced evidence along this line showing what
was the practice in other courts, notably in
Cincinnati, where a similar suit had recently
been brought and receiver was appointed.
James r. Henry and Hiram w. Miller, rep
resentatives of the State Bank of Indiana,
became the sureties on Mr. Cockrum's bond
of $4,000 which was accepted by Judge Car
ter in open court.
Since the death of Rowland T. Mcdonald
it has been known that the affairs of the
company were in very muddled condition,
and the bringing of the suit was no surprise
to those who have watched the course Of
affairs. In it's most prosperous days the
company was in a bad way, and what life
and vitality it had was generally supposed
to be due to the efforts of r. 7. Mcdonald.
Since his death, about a month ago, there
have been various rumors of transactions
that contemplated the absorption of this line
by the Citizens Street-railroad Company,
by they have come to naught. There are a
number of other large creditors beside the
State Bank of Indiana. 1t is current talk
that the road was capitalized for 100000
Beside the direct claims against the road it
is reputed that there are a number of Me-
Donald's personal notes outstanding secured
by the notes of the company as collateral
security aggregating close to $1,000000,

EDWARD HUFF IN COURT.
Bound Over to the Grand Jury on the
Charge OF Murder.


Edward Huff, charged with the murder
of his father, William Huff, in North In
dianapolis, appeared before Judge Cox, in
Police Court, yesterday. He was bound over
to the grand jury on the evidence pre-
scented by the detectives making the arrest,
and by that of William Lehr, Charles Bow
man and Charles Cloud DR.. Cox, who at
tended William Huff while he was in dv-
ing condition, could not appear on account
of illness. The attorneys for the defense,
George Young, Lewis Coleman and f. P.
Hendricks, admitted the death but denied
the cause. The coroner was not present at
the examination yesterday morning. Will
liam Lehr was in Iitzelberger'S saloon,
near the Huff home, on the night of Jan.
a. when the tragedy took place. He had
talked with young Huff in the saloon carly
in the evening and swore that the latter
had told him he was "going home to kick
trouble due to the fathers refusal to per-
nit his son to remain under the parental
roof longer. AS Lehr was returning home
he saw three men standing close together,
and later saw one run to the Huff home
calling Ma" returning later. accompanied
by woman. This appeared from his state
ment of the affair, to have taken place at
the time Huff was supposed to have been
killed and in the same locality. The wit
ness admitted that he went to the saloon to

Of Henry Thompson, the only eyewitness
to the crime, so far as is known. Thompson
testified that the woman shot at him and
accidentally killed Stroder. The witness said
that he and the woman had quarreled His
story Of the affair was in direct corrobora-
ton of her account of it. All the evidence
that has yet been adduced indicates that if
the woman had any murderous intention it
was not directed against the man who was
killed, a fact to which he himself insisted
up TO the hour of his death, as was shown
yesterday by James Lewis, colored attor-
ney, who said that he had taken the dying
mans statement to that effect According
to the testimony of the colored attorney up
to the hour of his death Stroder insisted
that Florida Phillips had no animosity
against him and that what i'll feeling she
may have had was directed toward Thomp-
son.

Nicholson was to collect. He refused to give
