OLD PORTRAITS FOUND
AUTHENTIC PAINTING OF CHIEF JUS
TICE JOHN MARSHALL.
Also an Oil Painting of Pere Mar
Miniature OF Washington.

CHICAGO, Dec 29.-Though lost and for
gotten for nearly quarter of a century,
an authentic portrait of Chief Justice John
Marshall, of the United States Supreme
Court, has been discovered For twenty
two years the portrait has hung in the
home of H. M. Underwood, Waukegan,
ILL.,, and not until Adoph Moses. an attor-
ney, began the agitation for an observance
by the legal profession of Feb. 4 as John
Marshall day was the location of the long
lost portrait discovered. The discovery of
the portrait is rendered the more valuable
because Of the fact that so few really au-
thentic portraits of the great jurist are ex-
tant Then the picture shows the chief
the recognized portrait, engraved copies of
which are to be found i'm nearly every law
office throughout the country, is absent,
and instead it brings out the rugged
strength of the features Another differ
ence is the presence of his spectacles
pushed high up on his forehead.
The newly discovered picture is done in
oil by 4. l.. Hammond one of the leading
artists early in the century. 1t is partly a
reproduction of picture by Harding, for
which Chief Justice Marshall sat in 1925
and it was finished in 1888. Ii was COM
pleted in Boston, where Hammond had his
studio, and is a finished production, the
canvas being 20x24 inches. In the upper
left-hand corner of the canvas, beneath the
varnish, is card which reads

preme Court. A copy from Harding in 1888,

PRECOC,oUs CRIMINAL.
Sfxteen-Year-Old Boy Accidentally
Shot While Robbing q Store.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
MARION, Ind, Dec. 29.-About 1 O'Clock
this morning James Dwyer, sixteen years
old, crawled into Aker's restaurant, corner
of Fourteenth and Mcclure streets, almost
unconscious from the loss of blood, and
told the night clerk that he had been shot
by highwayman in the Panhandle yards.
in the latter's attempt to rob him. The po-
lice were notified and the young man was
removed to the City Hospital.
This morning Ii was learned that Hay
den,s secondhand store, in the same vi
clnity, had been robbed during the night
Investigation connected young Dwyer with
the robbery, and this afternoon he con-
fessed the guilt He said no one had shot
him, but that in his attempt to get away
with the goods taken from the store, a
pistol in his trousers pocket was acct
dentally discharged, thereby causing the
wound in his stomach, i.om the effects of
which his physicians have considerable
doubt as to his recovery.

PORTRAIT OF MARQUETTE.
Old Picture That Is Unlike the
Statue i'm the National Capitol.

Old Picture That Is Unlike the
Statue i'm the National Capitol.
WASHINGTON, Dec. ga discovery has
been made that will probably call forth
discussion in regard to the Marquette statue
presented to the Nation by the State of
Wisconsin and now in Statuary Hall in the
Capitol. This discovery is of an oil paint
ing of great merit which was found recently
stored away in the garnet OF a religious
house in Montreal. On the back of the
canvas is the name "Pere Marquette and
those who have seen the work of art ex-
press themselves as satisfied that it is a
genuine likeness of the great discoverer and
missionary
1t shows face clean-shaven, full and
round, with large, expressive eyes, the
whole countenance beaming with intelli-
gence and kindness. The painting was so
covered with the dust of centuries that no
outline of it could be distinguished until put
through the process of careful cleaning.
1t has so forcibly impressed those who have
seen it, not only as a great work OF art
but as a genuine likeness Of Marquette,
that arrangements are now under way for
the copyrighting of photographs of it both
in this county and abroad, and until all
such rights have been secured, il is said
neither the painting nor photographs of it
will be exhibited. Both the picture itself
and the back of the canvas have been pho
tographed.
The interesting feature of this picture is
said to be the fact that the face of Mar
ouette preserved in oil is not the face of
Marquette in the statue at the Capitol. Ii
is believed that the painting lately dscov-
cred is the only likeness of Marquette not
purely ideal, or at least made from indefi-
mite descriptions of the man that have been
preserved in literature. The Marquette in
marble at the Capitol shows a rather long,
thin face, well covered with a beard. 1t is
the face of an ascetic, while the face of the
painting is essentially different.

FRANKLIN, Ind, Dec. 29-Several let
ters We're introduced by the defense in the
Pherson murder case to-day. among them
being one from a daughter and son-in-law
in Kentucky three years ago stating that
they had received Information that Milton
Knapp had betrayed Ruth Pherson. B. L.
Smith, of Indianapolis. testified that he
had visited Pherson in the Jail the night
Of his arrest and that Pherson had told
him he had done right. as Knapp had be-
trayed his daughter Ruth and ruined his
home, that he had letters which proved 1t,
but he had not believed it until the after
noon of the tragedy. Then he went home,
and, not finding his daughter, went to hunt
her and caught her with Knapp. The lat
ter started to run away through the weeds
on his hands and knees, and he (Pherson)
took club and pursued and struck him.
John Pherson told of going with his
father to see Knapp after they had re-
ceived the letters making the charges
against the latter. Knapp protested his
innocence, and Pherson was convinced Of
his sincerity and the falsity of the charges.
The men parted friends.
The trial probably will last until the mid
die OF next week.
