GHOULS MAY GO FREE.
Alleged Insanity of Cantrell May
Prevent Conviction DR..
Alexander on Stand

indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 11.-Will the
members of the grave-robbing gang to
be tried after DR.. AleNander's trial
is finished escape punishment because
of Rufus Cantrelrs alleged insanity?
This is question that is causing no
end of comment among lawyers. At
torneys say the negro can be set at lib
erty or else confined in an insane asy-
lum. Experts on mental disorders
testified that Cantrell was insane.
The other grave robbers confined in
the Jail it is said, might have good
chance for freedom. as the only evil
dence against them would be Cam
trell's testimony.
DR.. Alexander took the witness
stand Tuesday. He appeared pale,
but not i'll at ease, and he spoke in u
low but clear tone. He was graduated
March rs, 1898, from the Indiana col
lege and opened an office in this city
DR.. Alexander testified that he tend
ed bar and kept the books for time
in his uncle's saloon. He was arrest
ed at one time while in the saloon
business, he said, on the charge of SELL
ing liquor latter hours" but he was
acquitted. He was married in 1897.

A FIERCE FIRE.
Destroys Car and Cabinet Shops OF
Pennsylvania Road at PITT
caMrn, Pa.

Pittsburg, Pa, Feb. 11.-Fire
caused by the explosion of an auto
matte burner in the Pennsylvania
railroad shops at Pitcairn Tuesday
destroyed the passenger car repair
section and cabinet shop, entailing a
loss of $4,000 to the company. Over
100 men we're at work in these de-
partments and they barely escaped
with their lives, many losing their
tools and the clothing which they
wear to work. There was a short
age of water and the fire burned so
fercely that for a time it was feared
that the immense shops and round
house would be destroyed, but the
excellent work of the railroad fire
brigade kept the flames confined to
the repair section.
