RINKARD MURDER TRIAL.
Strong Evidence Introduced Against
the risoner- Baby Witness.


the P~risoner-A Baby Witness.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WABASH, Ind. Feb. 12.-Not in years
has there been q criminal trial in the Wa
bash Circuit Court which excites the pub
lie interest as does the Rinkard case. now
In progress. Long before court opened this
morning the courtroom was crowded and
many were turned away. Norman Higbee,
q Marion grocer, testified that he heard
the fatal shots fired and ran to the home
of Lemuel Pealer, brother of the murdered
woman, just In time to see Mrs. Rfnkard
gasping on a bed with three bullets in her
body. One of these struck the heart and
caused death a little later. Rinkard was
on his knees at the bed with a self-infiicted
bullet wound in the head. c. E. Dilla, who
was an insurance agent at Marion ana now
prior to the shooting Rinkard called on
him to inquire If the insurance on his own
and Mrs. Rinkard's lives was all right.
The sensation Of The day was caused by
the production by DR.. Whittier of the MUIR
dere6 woman's heart in court. TIL spec
tacle caused some of the jurors to vince.
DR.. Whitzen showed where the bullet had
touched the heart and how death was pro-
duced. The clothing of Mrs. Rinkard worn
on that day was submitted, the defense
objecting vigorously, but Judge Shively adj
mitted it. The bullet holes were pointed
out TO the jury. On the cross-examination
of witnesses none was shaken materially.
Sarah Pealer, a niece of Mrs. Rinkard.
seven years old, was on the witness stan
an hour. TIL little girl related how Rink
ard fired the first shot at her aunt through
the kitchen window and then entering the
house grasped the woman and fired bullet
after bullet into her body. Until uncon-
scious she begged ~piteoasly for mercy, but
without effect, and Sarah as they disap-
peared in the bedroom saw her aunt alive
Cor the last time. She was the sole eye
witness of the tragedy, and her evidence
suffered no impairment under a rigid cross
examination.

Minister wu'. Tribute.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Union League
Club of Brooklyn this evening held its an
nual Lincoln dinner. The principal guest
was Minister WI Tingfang. In his adj
dress Mr.. WI spoke in part as follows:
America has won two great victories for
freedom, one resulting In the Independence
of the United States. the other In the
emancipation OF the negroes. The central
figure OF the first was Washington. the
moving spirit OF the second was Lincoln. II
may be doubted by some whether on an
occasion like this it Is proper for a repre-
sentative of a foreign nation TO join In a
celebration. but / do not look upon Lincoln
as belonging TO America alone. The world
claims him as a benefatcor of mankind,
and his noble deeds as the achievements of
the human race. BY the world he will ever
be known and honored as the vindicator OF
human rights. who. by a stroke of the pen,
carried into effect the fundamental prin-
ciples of government that all men are ere
ated equal"

ice Is the oldest active minister
IN the >. G.. Conference writes the
following to The Sputhei n Chris
tian Advocate:
Among so many gracious Ie-
vlvals running through more than
two scores If years, it would be
difficult TO say which was the
q eatest. Somewhere in the
i"ltie> | witnessed ut Salem Camp
ground in the old Lancaster Cir
cuit, II revival where there were
100 conversions, and many addi-
tions to our church.
In my own pastorate, a few
years later we had a revival of
remarkable power, and vita .lu
rIous results. We commenced
preaching under rude brush
arbor at new place. In u short
while we erected neat church 80
or 40. A specia! meeting was
appointed at which | was assisted
by Rev. c. A. Plyler, a local
preacher of rare natural gifts, aud
of uncommon preaching ability:
Many souls were converted, and
scores were added to the churches:
among whom were quite num-
her ever 40 years of age. In Il
short while we had to double the
capacity of our new church, to
accommodate our congregations.
Mt. Carmel stood for years as u
monument of that great revival.
AS the outcome of the same meet
ing, Presbyterian, and a second
Methodist church was organized
in adjacent communities; and suit
able buildings for worship were
erected.
