ALEXANDER AGAIN INDICTED.
Everything Now in Readiness for n
Resumption of the Trial.

The Marion county grand jury met yes
terday and received its instructions from
Judge Afford. Shortly after converting the
Joseph c. Alexander, charging him with
taking, concealing and having in his pos
session the body of Rose NeidIinger for
dissection purposes. The Indictment re-
turned is practically identical with the af-
fidavit of information filed by Prosecutor
Ruckeshaus some days ago on his motion
to nolle the indictment charging the taking
and concealing of the body. The affidavit
of information was filed because of the
discovery of a section of the statute regu-
lating the dissection of human bodies
which provides a penalty of from three to
five years for having possession of a hui
est OF kin of the deceased. The affidavit
of information will be disposed of in a
nolle prosequi to be filed to-day. The new
against AleSander and Complies se with ff the
law, which directs the trial of accused
felons on indictments where 1t is practi-
cable rather than their trial on affidavits
OF information permitted to be filed by
the prosecutor when the grand jury is not
in session.
The new indictment against DR.. Alexan-
der necessitated the filing of a new bond of
$1,000 by his bondsman, Albert Groenwaldt.
Alexander is now penalty bound in the sum
of 5000 to appear in the Criminal Court for
trial.
Judge Afford reappointed John NJ. Bailey
special judge for the trial of Alexander,
as the new indictment again brought the
case under his jurisdiction. A venire of
seventy names was ordered drawn for serv-
Ice when the jury Is selected at the be-
ginning of the trial of Alexander on Dec.
Is. Prosecuting Attorney Ruckelshaus and
counsel for Alexander were present when
the venre was drawn by County Clerk
George Elliott and the jury commissioners.
Each attorney took a list of the names of
the seventy talesmen.
The grand jury's session will be short.
Nothing is before ii for consideration ex-
cept several cases Of men now imprisoned
I'm the county Jail on trivial charges. and
the coal combination Investigation. The
investigation of the methods Of the Indian
apols Coal Exchange will be casually i'm
quired into. but nothing in the way of in
dictments against members will be found,
Ii Is thought Deputy Prosecutor Benedict,
who has been conducting the investigation
of the coal combination, will assist Ruckel-
shaus in the Alexander case, and this, 1t
is thought, will hurry the adjournment of
the grend jury.

Casualty Company's Suit.

Another suit against an Indianapolis cor
poration was filed by the United States
Casualty Company yesterday. The COM
plant Is against the Indiana Natural and
Illuminating Gas Company. The casualty
company demands that it be given a judg-
ment for $500 damages to indemnify it for
loss in premiums on a fisk held with the
gas company For a premium of $3.50
year the casualty company insured the gas
company against all losses from common
and statutory law judgments because of
Injuries received by workmen of the COM
pany. The premium was fixed on a basis
of $4,000 a year as the annual pay roll Of
the company. The casualty company AYERS
that since 1898 the gas company has broken
faith with IL and kept on its pay rolls more
persons than originally estimated. and has
expended annually $4,000 for wages of en-
ployes The demand for $3.50 is based on
the increase for three years, which was
provided for in the contract. which stipu-
lated an increase or decrease in the premium
according TO like changes in the pay rolls.
