GILLESPIE CASE

Rising Sun, Ind, Dec. 20-Every-
thing was reasonably quiet on the sur
face here today in connection with the
case of the assassination of Miss Eliz-
abeth Gillespie, although the feeling Of
the public is-intense, especially on this,
the eve OF the rendering or a verdict
by the grand jury. The jury is OK
pected to report tomorrow afternoon.
That there will be one indictment of
murder in the first degree nobody
seems to doubt for a minute and tho
opinion apparently prevails that there
will be at least two indictments for a
milder degree.
A persistent statement In certain
quarters tonight is that an ugly scan
dal will develop as strong link of evil
dence.
The aged mother of the victim Of the
murder was with difficulty dissuaded
from visiting her daughters tomb to-
day because of the severe weather,
