BECKHAM AND MOUNT.
Significant Te,egrams Ghat Passed Be.
tween Indiana and Kentucky,
Recently.

Frankfort, KY, April 4.-Telegrams
more significant than the bare wording
of them might indicate, passed be.
tween democratic governor Beckham,
of this state, and Gov. Mount, of In.
diana yesterday. Gov. Mount made
reouisition on Gov. Beckham for
warrant of arrest against Rudolph
Gossman, a convict whose term in the
penitentary will end to-day, and who
is wanted fortrial on criminal charge
at New Albany, Ind. The Indiana Of
ficials recently applied to the demo.
cratic officials at the penitentiary with
n reouisiton from Gov. Mount, recog.
nizing Taylor as governor, and they
refused to honor the requisition.' Yes.
terday when the requisition was mad.
on Gov. Beckham he sent the follow.
ing telegram to Indiana's governor;
Beckham's Telegram.
To Hon. James A. Mount, Governor Of
Indiana, indianapolis, Ind:
A requisition from you for the ar.
rest of one Gossman, wanted in Floyd
county, Indiana, has been presented to
me. | will gladly honor it If you will
assure me that any requisition issued
bg me as governor upon you will also
be bonored. This understanding is dc.
sired because of certain expressions at.
tributed to you in the press.
Gov. Mount answered as follows;
Gov. Mounts Reply.
To Hon. j. C. w. Beckham, Frankfort
KY:
Replying to your telegram of Sd
inst | can not enter into any com.
pact or agreement that shall become
binding. This would be an unwar-
ted departure from executive prac
tice and the law. | must reserve the
right TO determine each requisition on
its merits.
[Signedl JAMES A. MOUNT,
Governor of Indiana.
Gov. Beckham made the following
statement:
Deckhams Statement.
The effort in this reply to create
the impression that ! seek to make u
compact on the subject Of reqnsitions
with Gov. Mount is ridiculous. OF
course every one understands that a
ieGuisition must be considered on It's
merits by a governor, My object was
t. discover whether Gov. Mount recog'
nizes Taylor or myself as governor OF
kentucky. II he recognizes me as
such then his acquisitions to me will
be considered. If he recognizes Tay'
lor as governor, then he should send
his acquisitions to him.
EX-Secretary of State Charles Fin
ley and others who are wanted in the
Goebei assassination case are in In.
dinna and Gov. Mounts telegram Is
generally interpreted to mean that he
will not honor any acquisitions of this
character unless signed by Taylor

COURT NEWS.
DISMISSED THE CASE.

That $4,000 damage case, which
velopments, and in which the petition
alleged a great many unprintable
things, has been dismissed by the court
on the grounds that the petition did
not constitute a cause of action.
1t was the case of Vada Freed against
Haynam. of near Minerva. and it was
evident from the start that witnesses
did not care to testify to what they
had talked over when under oath. This
fact delayed the case all day, and II
was not until late in the afternoon that
the hearing commenced. ss
The testimony was of such a char
acter that the court was sati1fied that
there was no cause for action and the
case was dismissed at cost of plaintiff.
