tives with Conspiracy.

Rising Sun, Ind: In it's report Of
the investigation of the assassination
of Miss Elizabeth Gillespie on Deem
Der 8, the grand jury Tuesday after
noon returned true bills of murder in
the first degree against James Giles
pie, a twin brother of the murdered

ed sister; Mrs. Carrie Barbour and
Myron Barbour, her husband. Mrs.
Barbour is sister-in-law Of DR.. Will
liam Gillespie, brother Of the murdered
woman. Bench warrants we're issued
Immediately by Judge Downey
The Gillespies were expecting
the arrests, and DR.. Gillespie drove to
the home Of the accused in q closed
carriage and brought the indicted per
sons to the courthouse, surrendering
all Of them to the court. The indict-
nents charge a conspiracy among the
members Of the murdered woman's
faSSjly to kill her.
James Gillespie, her twin brother, is
the one who is charged as the prin-
cipal, although all are charged with
murder in the first degree. Each en-
tered plea of not guilty.
Elizabeth Gillespie was shot by an
assassin standing on the outside of her
parlor window when she was arrang-
ing for a reception Of literary club.
Following the tragedy there were re
ports about differences in the family
over the settlement Of the estate, in
which Elizabeth was said to have been
favored. But later there were more
startling stories in circulation, init
mating that the victim had reflected
on another woman In the family so as
to create deadly hatred.

MEXICO ORDERS
KRATZ'S SURRENDER
Return Of Detective TO auadalaiara
Depends on Police Boards Action.

ST. Louis: "Kratz ordered delivered
to agent Of United States" is the word.
ing of a telegram received Saturday
evening by Chief of Detectives William
Desmond. The message was sent from
the City of Mexico by way Of Calves
ton, Tex, by Fenton r. McCreary,
charge d'ahaires OF the United States
at the City of Mexico during the abb
sence Of Ambassador Powell Clayton,
who is at present on a visit in this
country.
Chief Desmond at once informed
Chief of Police Kelly Of the receipt OF
the message. Chief Desmond is the
agent Of the United States to whom
Kratz must be turned over. Sheriff
Joseph Dickmann is still at Guadala-
lara, having remained there when
Chief Desmond started home ten days
ago.
Assistant Circuit Attorney Andrew
c. Maroney was also informed by
Chief Desmond of the receipt of the
message. Mr.. Maroney has been in
charge of the circuit attorneys office
ollC1 WI yin lCll lOi MS uOule
at BrownvilIe, Tenn, Wednesday even
ing, to spend Christmas.
After reading the message, Attorney
Maroney said: Although the message
does not state who ordered Kratz's sur
render, consider that the decision
comes from President Diaz, and that
1t is final. l do not think that there
are any more legal proceedings to be
gone through with. If the commits
stoned agent Of the United States gov
eminent was in Guadalajara, l think
he could start to st. Louis with Kratz
at his earliest convenience"
Chief Desmond, who studied the pro-
ceedings very closely during his seven
weeks stay in Mexico, holds the same
opinion as Mr. Maroney. The general
opinion prevailed among the officers
who discussed the matter that Kratz's
last card had been played. The police
commissioners will decide whether
Chief Desmond shall return for Kratz.
If he does not go, 1t is thought that
Sheriff Dickmann can be commissioned
agent of the United States by wire and
that Kratz can be brought here inside
of one week.

GEN. REYES WARNS
COLOMBIA OF PERIL
Will Return Home at Earliest Posi-
BILE Moment.

Washington: war on Panama
means war with the United States"
is the substance of cablegrams which
General Reyes, the Colombian Min.
lister, is sending to Bogota and to his
more influential followers throughout
Colombia.
Realizing the gravity of the situa-
ton, General Reyes is endeavoring to
bring the Colombian people face to
face with the situation, as he knows
it here.
He is convinced that the United
States will not permit a Colombian ar
my to land within the territory OF
Panama.
No time will now be lost by Gen
eral Reyes in completing his commune
cation to the State Department.
Heretofore General Reyes has not
been in any hurry to complete his mis-
sion in Washington. thinking that in
the meantime the war feeling in Co
lombia would subside.
To Return at Once.
Dispatches, however, from President
Marroquin and influential Colombians
have caused him to hasten his work
and it is his present intention to re-
turn to Colombia, and assume per
sonal command of the army as soon
as he has filed his statement at the
State Department.
The following cablegram was re-
ceived at the Navy Department Wed.
nesday from Rear Admiral Coghlan,
dated Colon:
"Mayfower reports met with Pinzon
carrying 800 men and munitions bound
for base at Titumati."
Official maps of the Navy Depart
ment do not show any place by the
name Of Titumati. but the supposition
is that the point referred to is Tumate,
a group OF three Islands lying half a
mile from the Colombian coast in the
Gulf of Darien, and about thirty miles
southeast of Cape TiburOn.
The Tumate Islands being a part of
Colombian territory. the department
is without power to act, beyond observ.
ing the movements Of this detachment
of the Colombian troops.

DREYFuS OBTAINS
HIS NEW TRIAL
Adverse Verdict Of Rennes Court
Martial to Be Reviewed.

Paris: Captain Alfred Dreyfus, ac-
cused Of treason to France, degraded,
dismissed from the French army and
exiled to prison on DEVILS Island, will
have another trial, this time by a
civilian tribunal.
As the result Of an examination Of
all the evidence submitted to two
courtsmartial which have already
passed on the, question Of Dreyfus's
guilt, as well as on the petition Of
Dreyfus for a new trial and the adj
ditional facts brought to light by Gen
eral Andre. Minister of War, the Com.
mission on Revision, representing the
Court OF Cessation, reached a de-
elsion Thursday in favor of the re-
vision OF the case by the criminal
branch Of the Court of Cessation.
The court will assemble next month
and Dreyfus will then have full OPP
portunity to make complete exposi-
ton of the wrongs he says he has
suffered.
The former Captain, as a result of
this new trial expects vindication, fol-
lowed by restoration to his former
rank in the army.
The criminal branch of the Court of
Cessation is composed of sixteen men,
bers, presided over by M. Loew, who
has participated in many of the most
prominent trials Of recent years.
Wants Military Trial.
Dreyfus did not desire that his new
trial should be conducted by a civil
tribunal, as he was anxious to again
go before a court-martial. M. Nor
nard, the Partisan lawyer, who repre-
scented Dreyfus before the Court of
Cessation, refused to be interviewed
but friend speaking for him said that
Dreyfus had asked to be Judged by
his peers, and that he had not chang
ed his view. His counsel will again
demand a military judgment of the
case.
At the home OF former Captain Drey-
fus the decision was expected and
preparations are now being made to
convince the courts of his innocence.
