David Strauss, general claim agent Of
the Vandalia road and prominent Re-
publican worker of Rockville, Parke coun-
ty, was at the Denison last night and dis
cussed the Indiana & Lake Michigan Rail-
road, which was formerly the northern ex-
tension of the Terre Haute G. Logansport
division of the Vandalia. He expressed
the opinion that the road had no future
before it if operated as an independent
line, but that If capitalized at from $50, 900
to 100000 in the shape of bonds at not
more than 3 per cent, it could; If oper-
ated in connection with the Vandalia road,
be made to pay expenses. He said the road
had originally been capitalized at 100000,
but that only $4S0,000 had been paid in and
this was in the shape of bonds bearing 5
per cent. These bonds had been guaran-
teed by the Vandalia road, which, when
it assumed the lease of the property after
it was opened for traffic Aug. 4, 1890. was
compelled to buy important terminal and
dock rights in st. Joseph, Mich, which
cost about 500, 900. The road never had any
rolling stock of it's own and when 1t was
sold to the bondholders recently they were
compelled to invest $4,000 in equipment
at once. What action will be taken con-
corning the road Mr.. Strauss could not say.

EXPERTS ON THE STAND
TO PASS UPON THE ALLEGED INSAN-
ITY OF JOHN TURNER.
Answers to a Hypothetical Question
eral Divorce Suits.

The Turner murder case is nearing a
close in the Criminal Court. John Turner
is a young colored man who assaulted his
wife in West Indianapolis last summer,
and she afterward died at the City Hos
pitaI. 1t is the claim of the prosecution
that Mrs. Turner's death was directly the
result of the injuries received at her hus-
bands hands. This is denied by the de-
Tense, Turner's attorneys seeking to show
that his wife's death was due to other
causes. They have also sought to show
that Turner was of unsound mind when
he assaulted his wife.
The testimony yesterday was chiefly of
an expert character. The defense put DR..
Brown, who was formerly connected with
the Central Hospital for the Insane, on
the witness stand to strengthen the theory
Of insanity. There was also evidence to the
effect that Turner once suffered a
sunstroke, and one witness testified that
his grandfather was an inmate of the Gen.
trail Hospital for the Insane and died there
last summer. Another witness said that
Turner'S father was often afflicted with
peculiar Authorizations at times.
Prosecutor Pugh yesterday afternoon ex-
amined number of witnesses in rebuttal.
Among them was DR.. John H. oliver, who
testified, after hearing a description of
Mrs. Turner'S wounds, that her injuries
were the cause of her death. DR.. Poucher,
superintendent of the City Hospital, testi-
fed the same way. He saw Mrs. Turn
er while she was at the hospital. The State
also introduced the evidence Of DR.. George
w. Combs and DR.. e. c. Reyer to show
that Turner was not insane at the time
he assaulted his wife. Prosecutor Pugh
read each Of the physicians a long hypo-
thetical question describing the crime. the
arrest Of Turner and other matters con-
nected with the case. The physicians gave
1T as their opinion that Turner was sane,
although DR.. Reyer on cross-examination
admitted that these acts would not be in
consistent with the acts of an insane per-
son. DR.. Combs, on cross-examination said
that an insane man might be guilty of some
of the things contained in the hypothetical
question. The physician detailed to the
jury some of the acts attributed to Turn
er, which he thought might be committed
by man with diSordered mind.

THE MONEY GOT AWAY.
1t II Said Bert Helms Intended to Buy
"Green Goods"


screen Goods"
A damage suit which has developed a
somewhat unusual story went to trial In
Room 3, Superior Court, yesterday, before
Judge Carter and jury. The plaintiff is
Mrs. Cora Helms. and she is suing her hus-
band, Bert Helms, and Willard Humes, a
liveryman of Fortville Henry Launsford
is party to the suit, but the evidence has
failed to show that he was connected with
the things complained of. Mrs. Helms is a
young woman, and her husband looks to
be little more than boy. They now reside
at Olio, Hamilton county, but formerly
lived at Brightwood.
The evidence shows that Mrs. Helm had
$500 of her own money in bureau drawer.
One day while the money was kept In this
drawer Willard Fumes came to the Helms
home and had talk with Bert Helms
After Humes had gone away Helms went
to the bureau drawer and took the money
that belonged to his Wife. He left the
house, and, 1t is claimed, he met Millard
Humes near the Atlas works. There. &C
cording to plaintiffs side. of the case.
Helms gave Humes the $500, with the I'M
derstanding that Humes was to bring him
$1,000 worth of green goods" Humes, 1t
is claimed. assured Helms that the stuff
looked as "good" as genuine and that II
could be easily passed as real money. 1t
is claimed that Humes then disappeared be-
hind some freight cars standing on switch
in the neighborhood and was gone few
minutes When he reappeared he was
greatly excited and his clothing was badly
torn. He ran up to Helms. it is asserted.
and declared that some men had held him
UP and had robbed him Of the $500 which
Helms had given him. In support of this
statement he pointed to his pocket where
he said he had had the money. The pocket
had been torn away almost. Helms was
bound to accept this statement, it is
claimed. and returned to his home and told
his wife about 1t. Mrs. Helms then insti-
tuted suit to recover the $500 and made
demand for 800 damages Although she
made her husband party to the suit, they
are on friendly terms and are living to-
gether. In court they sat together yes
