ATTACK ON INDICTMENTS.

HIS STANDING IN COLLEGE IN DISPUTE.
After Spirited Argument. the Court
Overrules Motion of Defense to
Compel state to Elect Which of
Four Indictments Should Go Be-
fore Jury.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 9.-The de-
tense took a sudden turn Saturday in
the trial of DR.. j. C. Alexander for
grave robbing, when it asked that the
state be required to elect on which
count of the Indictment it would go to
the jury. There was no motion to
quash the Indictment.
The fourth count of the Indictment
charged that DR.. Alexander was the
"demonstrator of anatomy" of the col
lege and had possession of the body of
Rose Neidlinger, and DR.. Barnhill, sec
rotary of the faculty, was called to sus-
tain that point. The state asked if a
catalogue had not been issued by the
faculty giving that title to DR.. Alexan-
der. The defense objected on the
ground that DR.. Alexander had nothing
to do with the catalogue and further
that the Central College of Physicians
and Surgeons is corporation and the
court must bring the records of the fac

Judge Bailey held that the college is
corporation and parole or verbal
testimony on the position held by DR..
Alexander could only be given when
there was no record. The defense then
made a motion to compel the state to
elect which count of the indictment
should go to the. jury and also motion
to withdraw from the jury the fourth
count in the Indictment.
The whole attempt of the defense
was to weaken the states case, the
fourth count being considered the
strongest point in the indictment. But
it did not mean that the ruling of the
court would end the trial evenif it ruled
in favor Of the defense.
Prosecutor Ruckelshaus said Judge
Bailey ruled against the introduction
of the catalogue on the ground that DR..
Alexander was not responsible for any
thing in the catalogue.
After spirited arguments the court
overruled the motion Of the defense,
which meant an important victory for
the prosecution.
Mr.. spaan followed this ruling with
motion to withdraw the second and
fourth counts of the indictments
from the jury, the counts charging
the defendant with having and con-
cealing the body of Rose Neidlinger,
which he held were separate crimes.
This was also overruled. The court
then adjourned until Monday, when
