the train left, all of them going on to
Clinton together.
Warsaw is recognized as the center of
the red shirt movement, and was the
scene of a big Democratic gathering sew

cal hostility against the Populist sena-
tor, caused Butler to put himself under
the care of a guard.

JUMPED TO THEIR DEATH.
Husband and Wife Leap From Moving
Train and Are Killed.

Il
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Aug. 10.-Wash-
ington Turner, young farmer residing
near Admission, boarded the Southern
railway train at this place bound for
McFall, IL miles away, where he was
reared. With him were his wife and
baby. They had never ridden on rail-
road train before and as the cars sped
along at a fast rate of speed they
watched anxiously for the approach of
their destination.
Half mile from McFall the whistle
blew and recognizing the whereabouts
from the scenery, Turner and wife hur-
riedly left their seats and proceeding to
the platform of the coach made leap
for the ground, the wife clutching her
babe in her arms AS the train had not
slackened its speed Turner was killed
almost instantly and his wife so badly
injured that she died. The baby has
broken leg.
The only explanation advanced for the
conduct of the couple is that they were
unacquainted with travelling on a train
and fearing that it would not stop,
jumped from it.

the proceeding for the removal Of John
f., w. 7. and E. III. Gaynor and Ben
jamin D. Green, accused Of conspiracy
to defraud the government, to the juris-
diction of the Georgia courts, was CON-
tinued before United States Commits

counsel for the defendants, announced
that he had produced, as called upon, a

cided surprise on counsel for the defen-
dants by calling to the witness stand

law. During Carriers courtmartial and
prior thereto he claimed that many Of
the bonds and securities in his posses
sion and which he hypothecated for va
rious sums of money had been placed in

claimed power of attorney for his
father-in-law. During the proceedings

John Davis, wife of one of the defend
ants charged with being an accessory to
the Goebel assassination. was the first

objection to the eligibility of the wit
ness, but the court ruled that she was
competent witness. Powers boarded at
her house. John Powers was also there
Jan. 25. She testified that the latter
was i'll in his room at her house that
dav and did not leave his room after IL
o'clock.
This was in contradiction of the testi-
mony of Robert Noakes, who told of an
alleged conversation with John Powers
at the statehouse in which he said that
the latter told him to "stay close to the
building as something was going to hap
pen as soon as Goebel and those fellows
came down"
Solomon Wilder of Whitley county
testified that Robert Noakes was at Cor
bin in March and asked him not to tell
anybody he was in town, as he might
be arrested in connection with the as
sassination conspiracy. Noakes fur
ther said he believed Caleb Powers in
nocent. He said the members of the
Noakes military company at Corbin in
stead of being desperadoes as Noakes
had alleged, were mostly good men.
Walter Day, former Republican state
treasurer, testified that Youtzey sent for
him the day before the shooting He
went to see Youtzey and the latter told
kim that for $500, 900 he would settle the
contest.
