GEORGE N. RAY AT HOME
HE WAS ALLOWED TO ATTEND FU-
NERAL OF HIS CHILD.
He Is Making Strenuous Efforts to Sc
cure His Release from the
State Prison.

Editor George NJ. Ray of Shelbyville, who
is now a convict in the Indiana penten-
tiary at Michigan City, has been returned
to the prison, after having been permitted
by Governor Durbin to attend the funeral
of his youngest child, which was held at
Shelbyville on Saturday. Ray was in the
best of spirits, and to see him holding a
reception in the hotel at Shelbyville and
smoking any number Of long, black cigars
it would not be thought that he was called
home on any sad errand.
Ray was in excellent spirits, and he is
confident that he will be paroled within
six months While in Shelbyville he took
occasion to bring to task his best friends,
whom he accuses of being Indifferent as to
his imprisonment, and also to plead with
some of the jurors who caused his impris-
Onment. To the latter he made no threats.
but on the contrary he assured the jurors
that if they would sign petition for his
pardon or parole he would not entertain
any hard feeling toward them longer To
friends of Prosecutor AlonZo Blair, who
with indianapolis attorneys, prosecuted the
case against Ray, the former editor made
many appeals in which he sought TO have
influence brought to bear on the prosecutor
Ray is confident that the influence of his
Governor or the board of control of the
prison to intervene in his behalf. 1t was
through the influence of Sid Conger, a we'll
known Shelby county politician, that a
three-day parole was secured for Ray, and
to his immediate family the editor was
most bitter in his denunciatiOn of Mr.. Con-
ger because, he said. Conger is not trying
to do more than he has already done.
During the last several weeks rumors
have reached Shelbyville that Ray was
confined in the hospital at the prison phys
ically distressed. 1t was reported that he
had become emaciated, that his hair was
turning gray, and that unless he was lib
Grated he would die. When he arrived at
his home every one who saw him was
struck with his fine physical appearance.
He even seemed to be in better health than
ever before, and he has not fallen off in
flesh
To a newspaper man Ray said: az shall
be out of the prison by the time six months
have passed. Those in authority will have
become convinced that / have not been
guilty of any kind of fraud, and then will
return to Shelbyvile''
At the Governors office yesterday it was
said that strenuous efforts are being made
to secure Rays permanent release, but
Secretary Wilson would not say just how
Governor Durbin looks on the question of
a pardon. In Issuing the parole Governor
Durbin ordered that Ray be returned to
the prison on the first train after the fu-
neral, which would have been Saturday
evening. but the deputy warden in charge
of the prison did not leave Shelbyville until
a late train Sunday morning

SITUATION AT
JACKSONVILLE

An appeal is to be made by the Citi.
zen's Permanent Relief Committee to
Philadelphians to aid in succoring the
flre.sweps city Of Jacksonville The
committee met yesterday In the Mayors
office and received the report of Theodore
V. Warne, who representing the commit.
tee, went to jackson Vile to aScer tain the
OK ent Of distress.

and 100000, 900. The number Of persons
in absolute need Is 1900. OF these, 400

means even OF erecting temporary houses.
Money and tools are more needed than
food or provisions.
The destroyed property was only one
quarter insured, and the borrowing limit
Of he city Is exhausted. No building
operations Of permanent nature can be
started because all public records and
deeds wore destroyed. sOnly ten lives
were lost in the fire, but privation may
Kill large number.

KENNEDY
ON TRIAL.

New York, May 27.-The trial of
DR.. Samuel ]. Kennedy for the MUIR
der Of Dolly Reynolds in the Grand
Hotel on the night of August Is,
1898, was resumed to-day, with J. +.
Tyrrell, a handwriting expert, on the
stand.
1t was brought out that in DR.. Ken
nedy's admitted writings there was a
tendency to relieve pressure toward
the end of the pen stroke, and that
this tendency was not noticeable in
the "Do!ly" Reynolds check or in the
"E. Maxwell and wife, slip. Tyrcll
said that in the endors ement on the
disputed check the letter $. in Sam
uel mad been begun with what appear
ed to be false stroke.
"You would think from that that
the writer was copying some one else's
sigrature?' asked Mr.. Moore.
"No," said witness.
"Iou would not expect a man to
make a false 81 in his own signature?
''IIe might"
Tyrell said that the connection be.
tween the So and ''J' in the in.
dorsement ives not like the horizon
tai stroke Characteristic of DR.. Ken
ncdy's signature, and that he had
not found an rs like that of the en-
dorsement in any of DR.. Kennedy's
signatures.
shortly before adjournment Mr..
Osborne interrupted the cross exam
nation to put John l.. Maxwell,
railway employe, on the stand. He
said he had known Dolly Reynolds
for two years before her death, and
that he had not written the slip "E.
Maxwell and wife. "
ave don't claim that he did," said
Mr.. Moore. This witness was then
excused.
Tyrrell's cross examination was re.
sumed, and he said that in the en-.
dorsement OF the disputed check
there was tendency of the smaller
letters to grow smaller as the writer
formed the word, and that this was
true also of the small letters in the
word "Grand" in the Maxwell slip.
He said this was also characteristic
of Dr. Kennedy's writings The
court then adjourned until to.mor.
row.
