SEASON WITH A CIRCUS.
Charles w. Had Some Pleas
ing Experiences.

ing Experiences.
Charles w. Lockwood, of Peru, who was
at the Denison Hotel last night attending
the Phi Kappa Psi banquet, has recently
concluded part of a season as press agent
for the Wallace circus, which has just
gone into winter quarters at Peru after an
unusually prosperous season. Young Lock-
wood belongs TO a well-known family, his
father being the publisher and proprietor of
a newspaper in Peru. The young man went
out with the circus last summer partly be-
cause of his friendship for Mr.. Wallace
and partly because he desired the novelty
of "A seasons travel with a circus.
He says the experience was valuable to
him and he learned many things about
circus people that heightened his respect
dred people with the Wallace show last
summer. Lockwood says he found them
like one big family Il believe" said he
Yesterday. that the morals of those four
hundred people were as good, If not better,
than would be found in any like number of
people in any other calling. i think there is
less drunkenness with the Wallace show
than any other circus on the road. The
greater part of the women with the show
are married and their husbands travel with
them in some capacity. MIR. Wallace prac-
tees a rather strict discipline and the peo-
pie with him understand tina they must
behave themselves. Any way, / didn't
find circus people a bad sort" Mr.. Lock-
WOOD mas not yet decided Wnetner ne VIII
go with the circus next year. The Wallace
show is distinctly an Indiana institution and
its proprietor is a millionaire and is said
to be the wealthiest circus man in the
business to-day. He owns two thousand
acres of land near Peru, where he has his
winter quarters. He is held in high esteem
by the citizens of Peru, who are rather
proud of the fact that their city is the home
of the Wallace circus. James +. Suites
man, of Peru, who was a member of the
last Legislature, is Mr.. Wallace's legal
adviser.

TEREsT IN HIS W CASE.

Reaching the VerdIct-Other
Cases i'm the Courts.

Imprisonment for life was the sentence
Imposed on James Johnson, coiored,
charged with the murder OF Joel Combs, In
Haughville. ore month ago The jury in
the Criminal Court reached this decision
after twenty-fOur hours Of meditation.
Sixty ballots were cast. At no time was
the jury divided as to the degree of murder
OF which Johnson was charged. the first
ballot deciding his crime TO be murder In
the first degree. The rest OF the ballOting
was 10 decide his fate. whether it should
be Imprisonment for life. or death. Until
a few minutes before a verdict was reached
the jury stood five for the death penalty
and seven for imprisonment for life.
Johnson was unmoved when the verdict
was read; In fact he seemed pleased. The
State made an unusual effort TO have John
son hanged and it was believed by many
that the death penalty would be the de-
cision of the jury. Johnson. in his CONVEX
sation with the officers at the county jail.
said ne did not doubt hat the jury would
find him guilty Of murder in the first de-
gree and believed the only question would
be as to the penalty. He showed consid-
cradle anxiety until the verdict was re-
ceiyed, which was the only interest mani
tested during the trial.
The Rev. John Brown. colored. of Column
bus, Ind, who is in Jail on a charge Of
violating the pension law. spent consider
able time with Johnson yesterday. Last
night Johnson requested that the minister
be allowed to sleep with him in his cell.
The request was granted. Although john
son did rot say, il is thought by the jail Of
fcers that he wishes the minister with him
10 minister to his spiritual wants.
No sooner was this murder case disposed
of than preparations were at Once begun
TO try Martin Freese. OF Shelbyville, who
Is charged with being accessory TO the
murder OF William Gray. Gray was shot
and killed at Red Mills by Mrs. Freese on
July 25 last and she is now serving a sem
