Hold RATHBUN TOR MURDER
Insurance SwindIer Turned Over
to Indiana Authorities.
PRISONER TELLS NOTHING
The Cause of Goodman's Death to BE
Ascertained Before Case Is Arranged
--Laudlanum Found in Goodmans
StOmarl--Coroner Seeks Poison.

Louisville, Ky. Nov. ia charge
of murder has been preferred against
Newell e. Rathbun by Prosecutor May
field of the Clark county Ind.) circuit
court and Rathbun was taken to JET
fersonville on the $3.50 o'clock p. IN.
boat by Sergeant Skinner of the local
recruiting station, who only released
him as a deserter from the army when
he was in the custody Of the Indiana
authorities on capital charge. Cir
cult Judge Marsh will convene the
grand jury in special session on Mon
day to investigate the death of Charles
Goodman, Rathbun's victim, who has
been found to have been brass work
err, formerly of Cripple Creek, Colo.
The body of Goodman will be re-
turned from Little Rock as soon as
the jury there has finished with it.
Feel Sure of Rathbun's Identity.
The authorities here are confident
that Deputy Sheriff Chichester, on his
arrival, will haveno difficulty In estab-
fishing the prisoners identity as Rath-
bun, and thus obtain the release of
the body identified as Rathbun by his
family. The Louisville authorities
willingly released Rathbun to the In
diana officers, as they have absolutely
no evidence here that Goodman was
poisoned. When Rathbun learned that
doubt existed in Little Rock as to the
identity of the body he refused abso-
lutely to talk further.
Think Rathbun an Alias.
The detectives are convinced that
the name Rathbun is an alias and that
he has never told his real name, or
his real home.
The Louisville police have begun
sending all over the United States
photographs and description OF Rath-
bun In an effort to positively identify
him. A telegram has been received
from the Chief of Police Of Evansville,
Ind. stating that Goodman was resi-
dent of Cripple Greek, Colo, where he
was a brass worker. Mr.. Benson Doo-
little, proprietor of drug store in
Evansville, close to the undertaking
establishment Of E. NJ. Coots &, Sons,
was In the morgue when the alleged
discovery was made that Goodman's
stomach contained laudanum. The
fumes were unmistakeable, he insists.
Coroner E. M. Coots also instantly no
ticed laudanum. In the Jail at JEFF
fersonville Rathbun was asked wheth-
er his wife at Little Rock was impli-
Gated in the plot to collect the insur-
ance. After several moments silence
he replied: mo; there was nobody in
it at Little Rock"
