GOOD CASE FOR STATE

IN THoMAssON TRIAL.
Attempted Murder of Rushville

ford-Clinton Contest Cases.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. Jan. II. - The
Thomasson-Gaines murder trial continued
to-day with increased interest. The court
room was crowded all day. The morning
session was occupied by the testimony of
the coroner. He described the finding OF
the body of Lentz in the barnyard. He
found two wounds on Lentz's neck; also
gunshot wound. He was of opinion that
the gunshot wound would have caused
death. This afternoon the mother of Lentz
gave a graphic description of the scene.
Miss Minnie Mann, a school teacher AMI
friend OF Gaines, testified that she knew
Gaines and saw him the night of July 3,
about 8 o'clock. He had gone on his BIZ
cycle to see her and remained until about
10 o'clock Then he went north on his
wheel. He was making arrangements to
spend the Fourth, and they talked about
where they would go. He had an engage
ment with her for that night. The star
witness of the day, however, was Deputy
Sheriff Stone, of Bedford. who on the
stand from o'clock until adjournment.
and is yet to be crossed-examined. He
went into many details and retold the story
of the confession of Thomasson to him
while he was in the Reformatory for safe
keeping
When the deputy sheriff was called the
defense made a determined effort TO have
the evidence excluded. Thomasson was in
troduced to show that his confession to
Stone was because Of fear OF a mob, but
Judge Martin ruled that Stones evidence
was admissible Stone said he arrested
Thomasson and took him to Jeffersonville.
Stone told Thomasson, on the 18th OF July.
while in prison, that the people believed
him guilty, but Judge Martin would protect
him. Thomasson made statement TO
Stone, giving the details of the crime, how
1t was committed and wanted to know or
Stone If he was in danger of being mobbed.
The confession was made in the presence
OF Deputy Warden Alley, and was in sub
stance as has been published heretofore.
Stone made a strong witness and seemingly
impressed the jury strongly. The cross
examination will take up tomorrow morn
ing, as the strength of the case for the
State depends largely on Stones evidence.

Emc EIIsIer I'm 'sBarbara Frietchfe,
at EngIish's.

Charles Frohman presented E.ffie EIIsler
TO an Indianapolis audience of rather slen-
der proportions at English's Opera House
last night in Barbara Frietchie," Clyde
Fitch's clever drama of the civil war pe-
Rod in American history. Miss Ellsler la
bored under the disadvantage that is in
eyitable where player follows in the foot
steps of another in the same play. The
work of Miss Ellsler in the part of Bar
bara is very uneven. At times she invests
1t with considerable tenderness, sympathy
and womanly grace. Again, she loses her
grasp on art and drifts into the breakers
OF melodramatic ranting. The consum-
mate skill of a Marlowe is required to pre-
vent an audience from finding out Just
how near Author Fitch has come 10 writ
ing a sensational piece. A disadvantage
under which Miss Ellsler labors is her in
ability TO portray emotion by play of
facial expression.
The supporting company is almost en-
tirely new, and the few who remain from
last seasons cast have been shifted about.
Mary Blyth. who played Laura Royce last
season. has succeeded Nora Lamison as
Sue Royce, and is little more than accept
able. Alice Leigh. in her old character
OF Nanny Lu, Is better than ever. and oc-
casionally draws attention away from the
work OF the star. Frank Weston, success
sor of j. III. Gilmour in the role OF Cap
tain Trumbull. scarcely measures up to the
standard set by Mr. Gilmour. although he
shows himself capable actor. The change
from G. +. Gibney TO Charles Stedmane
in the character of the elder Frietchie was
q wise one. Algernon Tassin has been pro-
NOTED from the part of DIR. Hal Boyd to
the more important one of Arthur
Frietchie, and justifies the wisdom OF the
change. Dodson Mitchell, as Fred Gel
wix. the deserter. last season contributed
one OF the brightest bits i'm the perform
ance, which George w. Mitchell Is unable
to duplicate In the present production.
Byron Ongley impersonates DIR. Hal Boyd
without any attempt to change his face
from its natural youthfulness. and thereby
mars the scene in which he appears. With
Mr.. Ongleys reading OF his few lines, how
eve-. no fault is TO be found. George
