pecial to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BRAZIL, Ind, Jan. 9-The Chaplin forg
cry case was staged to crowded houses
both morning and afternoon to-day. After
Prosecutor Rawley had outlined the States
case, Sterling r. Holt was put on the
stand. He emphatically declared the fraud
ulent character of the two notes cashed
by Frederick Chaplin. He was on the stand
most of the day, and his cross-examina-
ton by Attorney knight, for the defense,
was most searching. In his morning testi-
mony he declared that he was worth only
800, 600. Under cross-examination he adj
mitted his property was worth fully twice
that sum. He was asked if it were not true
that a committee had been appointed to
investigate his books when he was treas
urer of Marion county and had found him
to be a defaulter to the extent of $4,000,
and as consequence the commissioners
were condemned by the citizens of the
county. Holt denied being a defaulter, but
said on account of an error in his books
he paid 1000. He denied, in response to a
question. that he had appropriated 500
from Perry & Crabb, merchants at DAN
Vile, Ind, while clerking for them, but
acknowledged that he was sued on an ac-
count and acquitted. Holt admitted that
he broke open a ballot box with Ratchet
at an election at Indianapolis, but denied
having any connection with tally-sheet
scandal.
The defense is confident that il can
prove the genuineness of the signatures
to the alleged forged notes. The expert
testimony probably will be given to-mor-
row. This afternoon Mr.. Holt telegraphed
to Indianapolis for Attorney Span to
come to Brazil at once to assist the prose-
cution. Mrs. Chaplin attends court regular
ly and occupies seat beside her husband.
She processes great faith in Mr.. knight s
ability to clear Chaplin of the charge
against him.

intended to construct the new road from

omew county, thence to Cortland and south
TO Brownstown, and thence on to Salem.
Washington county. completely shutting
out Seymour. The jealousy between
Brownstown and Seymour, engendered by
the county-seat war, accounts for the route
suggested, as anti-Seymour people are
fathering the plan in Jackson county. The
survey will be begun in few days. Several
well-known capitalists of Indianapolis are
known to be interested in the project. The
road would be of great benefit to Columbus.

ANOTHER INDIANAPOLIS FIRM.



Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MARION, Ind, Jan. 9.-The probabilities
are that another big Independent window
glass factory will soon be located at Mat
thews. The owners Of the proposed fac
tory will be the Van Camp Hardware Com
pany, Of Indianapolis. Mr.. Van Camp and
another member of the firm were at Mat
thews Monday afternoon, in conference
with H. E. Drew and George N. Cater
son of the Matthews Land Company, and
it was learned Monday night that the deal
would positively be closed
A large number of wholesale hardware
and lumber companies throughout the
country who handle thousands of dollars
worth of window-glass each year have
taken to erecting and operating their
own plants independent of the trust, and
men familiar with the glass industry say
If this continues, the trust is sure to feel
the effect, as 1t naturany decreases the
trusts business. another fact in connec-
ton with these Independent concerns is
that they are much better industries for
the community in which they are located
than those owned by the trust Equally as
good wages are paid in the Independent
factories, and they generally are in opera
ton from eight to ten months of the year,
instead of five or six months.
