THE FUNERAL SERVICES.
Center Presbyterian Church Crowded
DIR. Kane's Address.

When the time came for the beginning of
the funeral services in the Center Presby
terrain Church, the fact became apparent
that Charlottesville was the Mecca of one
of the largest crowds in its history. Ear
Ter in the day the visitors had sought the
hotels and other places of entertainment
on account of the severe cold. and thus the
size of the crowd could not be determined.
When the doors of the church were opened
il did not require ten minutes to fill the
edifice In every part and hundreds remained
on the outside endeavoring to catch
glimpses of the proceedings through the
doors and windows.
AS the family and friends of the deceased
moved slowly down the aisles of the church,
preceded by the military guard bearing the
casket, the organist played the first solemn
air that had been heard since the cere-
monies incident TO the burial of the ex-
Governor began During the marches
through thes treets of Indianapolis and
Charlottesville prior to the church service
the military band that headed the process
sion always played popular marches in
accordance with the expressed wishes of
Mrs. Mount. The solemn hush that fell
over the congregation was broken by the
reading of the scriptural lesson by Rev.
II. A. Alexander, pastor of Center Presby-
terrain Church. This was followed with
brief prayer by Rev. DR.. w. P. Kane.
president of Wabash College. as follows:
almighty God. our Father, we bow be-
fore Thee. realizing that we are but dust
in Thy presence and that we lift our hearts
in consciousness that Thou art our Father,
that Thy promise is that we shall inherit
the things of Thy people. In this sacred
hour we look unto Thee. the giver of life.
the God who has blessed us in all our liv-
ing and unto whom we shall go when we
pass from the earth. May Thy spirit
quicken every heart with a consciousness
that God is near in this hour. We ask it
IN Jesus Christ. Amen"

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Jan. 19.-Ed High
was placed on trial to-day for what was
thought TO have been a cold-blooded muir
der last April at Fontanet, when he killed
Joe Malinski. His plea is self-defense.
The only eye witness. Tom Bullot. a fellow
miner of Malinski, said that High went to
the house where he and Malinski lived and
asked the latter for Is cents with which
to buy beer, and that when Malinski re-
fused High shot him. Other witnesses for
the State say High then marched down
street threatening to shoot every foreigner
in town. There are good many foreigners
in the mines, and as High had a reputation
for denouncing them, they raised fund
to employ lawyers to assist the prosecution.
Highs father has been justice of the
peace for many years, and when his son
was placed under arrest the father made
out the commitment on which he was
brought here to jail.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Jan. g-Ine
whole OF to-day was devoted TO the de-
Tense in the Thomasson-Gains murder trial
Both men told their story. and Thomasson
insisted that his revolver shot was in self
defense and did not kill Lentz. while Gaines
testified that he used his knife to save his
own life. Both were given a searching
cross-examination and made more than
fair witnesses. Thomasson denied that he
made any confession TO Deputy Sheriff
Stone. but admitted that he did make
statement under duress and promise or
mercy, and that what he said was not true,
but with the hope of securing clemency.
The story of Gaines is outlined the gen.
eral theory of self-defense. He said If he
had not killed Lentz he would have been
killed himself AS he and Thomasson were
driving out of the barnyard in the Lentz
buggy Lentz came up on his bicycle. Gaines
tried to get out and get away, he said, but
Lentz attacked him. A shot was then fired
Gaines looked around and Lentz was pick
ing up something and a moment later
struck Gaines with stone. Gaines then
described the desperate struggle that fol-
lowed. Lentz was much the stronger and
he beat struck Gaines A knife was
drawn by Gaines. Both tried to use 1t.
Gaines finally got away from Lentz, saying
he would kill him. When he was cut ne
was frightened and could not tell how 1t
was done. His intention was to get away,
as he believed his life was in danger. He
only tried to protect himself from bodily
harm.
Evidence also was introduced TO prove
that LentZ was very strong and that he
had made threats to kill any one If they
took his horse and buggy again. The case
will not go to the jury before Tuesday
afternoon. Thomasson did not know of the
death of his father, and no notice of 1t was
taken in the court proceedings.
