CAPT. HARRY 5. NEW TO
Be ACTING SECRETARY
Will Fill the Position Until the
Republican Convention Meets
IN 1904.
MIR. HEATH is TOO BUSY

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Capt Harry S.
New will have charge of all the work of the
r publican national committee preceding
the convention of 1904. For all practical
purposes he will perform the duties of the
secretary from now on until the convention
convenes next summer. Perry S. Heath,
who holds the position, will be unable to
give much time to the duties of his Office
after the committee adjourns on Saturday.
Mr.. Heath says his newspaper connection
will require his personal attention during
the coming year.
The selection of Captain New to look after
the details of the next big gathering of Re-
publicans is significant. 1t Is known that
Chairman Hanna's choice of the Indianap-
oils man was approved by President Roose-
Welt. The subject has recently been dis
cussed by Mr.. Hanna and the President.
There is a strong belief here that, whether
Mr.. Hanna continues as chairman, Captain
New will be made secretary of the COM
mittee. He is generally regarded as the
most competent man that has been men,
toned for the place.
Suave and affable as of yore, Perry s..
Heath, now of Salt Lake, arrived here
to-day to take part In the deliberations
of the Republican national committee. Mr..
! Heath expressed some surprise when the
| suggestion was made that he might re-
| sign.
There's nothing in it," he said. "Such
| reports are circulated by persons who wish
| to see me down and out"
| Mr.. Heath will take part In the meet
| ings of the committee on Friday and Sat-
| urday. Tonight he was the recipient of
an ovation in the lobby of the new Will
| lard. More than 200 people crowded around
| him to shake his hand and wish him well.
| Mr.. Heath was all smiles and did not give
the slightest indication. either in appear
ance or manner, of having recently been
severely arraigned by Fourth Assistant
| Postmaster General Bristow. Mr.. Heath is
| accompanied by Mrs. Heath. They will re-
main.

tried to get them to live peaceably together.

lated that on July II last, after his return
from a surprise party at the home of his
son-in-law, John Schott, he and his wife
started TO the barn TO feed stock. Lucy and
her baby in the yard. Before he
reached the barn Wolfe passed in a buggy
with his stepsister and shouted insults at
Lucy and himself. Terrell could not remem-
ber, what happened then, but said he had
been told he tainted.
He continued to the effect that. so far as
knew. he had no intention to kill Wolfe or
TO do him any harm He said he had no
recollection of the shooting, or that he fol-
lowed Wolfe TO Petroleum. He explained
the presence of shotgun in his buggy on
the Saturday night before the shooting by
saying that he had taken Ii to Petroleum
to loan ii TO Ross Stuckey, who had asked
to borrow il. He testified that he had his
safe and papers in the county Jail and had
transacted his business matters while in
carcerated.
DIR. III. Fl. Weer was on the witness stand
as an expert witness as TO Terrell's sanity
He said there were undoubted evidences o.
dementia. On cross-examination he said he
was being paid 500 a day for his services
as an expert alienist.
