much more such work to follow
the people of the State are going to
get awfully tired. A Kansas City

Ladies Kid Gloves.

Every lady is aware that more depends on the
makers name in a kid glove than the way it looks
Only Experts can tell the quality by examination
and as no manufacturer guarantees a glove except
to be perfect in stock and sewing to be free from
any faulty places that may show when the gloves
are first put on, it is very necessary that they bear
the name of a responsible maker. "Centemere'
gloves are recognized id all civilized countries as a
perfect glove. We show them in more styles than
at anv time in the past. Perhaps they cost a lit
tie more than some Others but the risk is not so
great. They are an economical glove,

INDICTMENTS YET


Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
RISING SUN, Ind, Dec. 21.-The grand
jury which is investigating the assassina-
tion of Miss Elizabeth Gillespie is de-
termined to make no mistake when it re-
turns indictments and it has therefore
again deferred returning true bills against
the murderer and accomplices.
This afternoon the jury made special
written request of Judge Downey that he
order the shot taken from the head of the
slain woman and that they be produced
before the jury. Judge Downey ordered
this done at once and designated Under
taker r. A. Steele and attending Physi-
clan Lewis c. Cowen to perform the oper-
alton. They found and removed several
dozen No. shot. which are now in the
possession of the grand jury.
Much disappointment was manifested at
the failure of the jury to make its report
to-day. Early this morning the taking of
testimony was renewed, All the represent
atives of newspapers in attendance here
were examined during the morning. Quite
a number of other witnesses were ques-
toned, among them being Mrs. Louise
Thorne and Private Detective Franklin.
Mrs. Margaret Gillespie, the aged
mother of Elizabeth. was summoned to ap-
pear before the jury this afternoon. but
owing TO her feeble condition 1t was re-
ported that her presence would be dis
pensed with until tomorrow morning A
number of witnesses yet remain to be ex-
amined and report will not be made un-
til late tomorrow.
AS the end of the investigation draws near
the officials are apparently working harder
than ever to secure additional evidence
Deputy Prosecutors Harry r. and Cassius
McMullen have had entire charge for sew
eral days past. The connection of Deputy
Prosecutor r. l.. Davis with the case has
been severed so far as the grand jury is
concerned.
Some interest was aroused to-day by
finding in the street a letter threatening
the prosecuting attorney who is in charge
of the investigation. The letter was evil
