WOMAN'S FIDELITY TOMAN
STRIKING EXAMPLE OF A wIFE'S
LOYALTY IN CRIMINAL COURT.
Divorce Cases Occupy Time Of Judges
Decision I'm Sunday Baseball
Case To-Day.

Frank Taylor twenty-five years old, was
tried by jury in the Criminal Court yester-
day on the charge of embezzlement. and
was found guilty. The jury was out but
a few minutes. Judge Afford sentenced
Taylor to term of from two to fourteen
years in the Indiana Reformatory Taylor
is a brother-in-law of Ora Copenhaver who
is sentenced to be hanged in the State
Prison a week from next Friday for the
murder of his wife. Copenhaver and Tay-
lor married sisters. AT the time the grand
jury was investigating the Copenhaver
picion. 1t was said that the day Copen-
haver killed his wife Taylor was seem in
the same locality. AT the time he and
his wife were not living together. The
two sisters were living with their parents.
1t was the theory of the State that Taylor
also meant to attack his wife that day.
but the prosecution was unable to get suffi-
cient evidence to make a case against
him.
The charge of embezzlement against
Taylor grew out of deal he made with
Alexander Richardson, custodian Of Tom
linson Hall. Richardson had a team of
horses, and it was claimed that Taylor
agreed to use them and share earnings
with the owner. While the horses were
in Taylor's possession he sold them for $50,
and. taking his wife. went to st. Louis.
She remained hut a few days, returning to
her parents. Since the murder Of Mrs.
Copenhaver Taylor and his wife have
patched up their differences in a manner
and have been living together. The wife is
a pretty, modest appearing girl OF about
twenty She was in court yesterday. and
with the loyalty and fidelity that charac-
terizes the average woman when the man
she loves is in trouble, testified in behalf
of her husband, and tried to help him out
Of his scrape. Had Taylor been a few
years older the court would have sent
him to State Prison, where he would have
been at the time of his brother-in-law' Z
execution The family of the murdered
wife, it is said, are vet very bitter toward
Copenhaver. Recently the mother OF the
dead woman called on Judge Afford in the
Criminal Court and urged the court and
prosecutor not to sign petition to Gov
ernor Durbin asking that the sentence be
committed. She thought the sentence i'm
posed in the Criminal Court was just and
should be carried out.

WILL CLOSE DOWN MONDAY.

Consumers VIII BE Given Until That
Time to Make Other Arrangements.
Some time during the forenoon next Mon
day the four thousand patrons of the
Indianapolis Gas Companys natural gas
department in the city will lose natural
gas as fuel and for lighting purposes.
Manager Pearson. of the gas company.
announced yesterday that the supply OF
gas would be discontinued Monday. and the
company would give that much time to
consumers to make other fuel and light
arrangements before shutting OF the gas.
Mr.. Pearson also said the consumers would
be enable TO cook breakfast Monday with
gas. but after that they will have 10 depend
on other fuel for cooking purposes.
The shutting of OF the gas. coming AS
IL does. expected by a majority of the
venience the citizens of the city For
months the question Of the gas supply has
been up, and those persons that realized the
conditions and believed the assertions OF
the gas company officials that a continu-
ance of the supply is impossible. have taken
time by the forelock and made other
rangements.
Mr. Pearson stated yesterday that the
salvage of the $50 miles of gas mains
and pipes in the city would be In
doubt until the directors took some action
on the proposition. He said he would order
nothing until the directors had determined
on course TO pursue. He also declined TO
say what would become OF the gas left In
the wells in the Indianapolis field in Della
ware and Madison counties. but said en-
phatically that although seven miles from
the Indianapolis field wells are operated
and pumped for the Chicago supply. the
gas left in the Indianapolis company's field
would not be disposed Of TO the Chicago
market. He said the company might con-
tinue 10 operate its wells for the benefit
of small towns in the territory contiguous
TO the gas field. and probably the gas
might, be sold in Elwood or other towns
located near IL. The price and manner or
sale of this gas and whether the pumps
would remain in operstion for its delivery
are still in doubt Mr.. Pearson said.
City Attorney Joss said last night that
he had read Judge Meals opinion. but did
not care 10 discuss IL. He said no course
OF action had been determined on. and the
matter was still under consideration
Mayor Bookwalter Is still In ST. Louis on
an inspection of macadam roadways and
other park improvements and his attitude
on the present situation Is unknown.

THREE TIMES DIVORCED.
Record OF a GoOd-Looking Woman
Who Sat in Judge Leathers's Court.

Judge feathers. of the Superior Court.
yesterday granted divorce to Luella Sud-
Ter on her cross-complaint. James B. Sudler
sued her for divorce, charging that she Wis
tied winerooms and otherwise misconducted
herself. Mrs. Sudler has been married three
times and yesterday was the third time she
has been divorced. One of her former hus-
bands was in court. She is a rather good
looking woman Of about forty. Prior to her
marriage she was engaged in the sale of
cosmetics and other toilet articles. In re-
lating her side Of the case to the court she
explained that her husband failed to sup
port her satisfactorily, and that she was
compelled to resume the sale of toilet arti-
cles from house to house in order to sup
port herself She asserted that the occa-
sions when her husband charged that she
was out in the afternoon in the company
of other men she was in reality out ped
ding her wares in order to make her living.
She declared that Sudler, in six months,
only gave her 81. so with which to buy cloth
ing. She told of one occasion when her
husband picked her up, and, carrying her
to a rear door. coolly tossed her out in the
she said. Her husband, she averred, told
her to get out and stay out. and that II
she ever had occasion to return to his house
to not dare enter by the front door. After
nearing the WOLldU StOTy JuUSe Learners
said he would grant her the divorce; that
her husband had absolutely failed to make
a case. The court intimated the belief that
Sudler had imposed his attorney. Mr..
Blackledge. The court further declared that
the mere filing of charges such as Sudler
had in his complaint against his wife was
sufficient evidence of cruel treatment on
the husbands part.
Judge feathers devoted most of yesterday
to the trial of contested divorce cases. One
case wound up in a row between two wom-
en-. 1t happened out in the corridor, how
ever, and the court was not compelled to
exert it's offices in the interest Of peace.
This was the case of the Eatons, Ida and
Edward. Both charged adultery, and both
were trying to get a divorce. After Judge
feathers had heard evidence on both sides
he declined to grant either contestant a
divorce. One of the witnesses was a Mrs.
Pruitt, whom Eaton had called to testify
as to his wife's reputation. Mrs. Pruitt' 8
testimony was not satisfactory to Mrs.
Eaton, and she waited for her in the cor
ridor She tried to strike her with an UNI
brella. but Mrs. Pruitt ran and lodged into
the Criminal Court room. Detectives Asch
and Manning were in the courtroom, and
went out and took hand In the row. The
women were threatened with arrest IL they
did not quiet down. and the threat had the
desired effect.

HEAVY MONTHS TRAFFIC
NEARLY 100000 LOADED CARS HAM
DIED AT INDIANAPOLIS.
Heavy Traffic Over the Belt Road Last
Month-The Gould Lines Will BE
Made a Powerful System.

In May all previous records were ex-
ceeded in the loaded car movement
in Indianapolis, there being received and
forwarded a total Of 1881 cars, lo4'-
$50 being loaded. an increase over
May, 1901. of lib loaded cars. In
May, 1901. 1855 loaded cars were handled
at this point, and in May, 1900. 9O.O56 IN
der the conditions which prevail the ex-
hibit is a remarkable one. During the en-
tire month east-bound business was the
lightest in many years. there not peing
more than 25 per cent much grain
forwarded to Eastern markets as In May
last year. There was slight increase In
shipments of hog products. of hardwood
lumber and produce, while west-bound
business was heavy beyond precedent.
Shipments of heavy groceries, dry goods.
and in fact, merchandise of all kinds man
ufactured in the East. to southwestern
Western and transcontinental line points
being heavy. North and south roads
handled an average business for May
southbound, while northbound the ship
ments of lumber were unusually large. The
value of the Belt road in relieving the
Union tracks of the movement of through
freight is shown In the fact that there were
handled in May, loaded and empty cars,
81 Csc; Belt road engines handled at the
stockyards $3.50 cars; for private switches
loaded on the line, 6,027 cars.

A. C. Bird. vice president Of the Gould
lines, has just returned from five weeks
trip over the western and southwestern
portions of the Missouri Pacific system.
which, when connected with the various
Gould lines, will make them powerful
that no competing interest will be able to
keep them from getting the business they
are entitled to. Mr.. Bird visited all the
Gould line agencies In the West and South
west for the purpose of ascertainins where
they can be strengthened, and some
changes and consultations expected in
the near future. In speaking of the Gould
system Mr.. Bird said: when the sea-
board line is completed and the Pittsburg
extension is ready the Gould lines will be
strongly intrenched in the East, the North.
the Southwest and West, and the tonnage,
which is now very large, will be still larger
when these connections are in operation.
All lines which are connections of the
tonnage which the Gould lines will con-
troll, and they will be in position to serve
the best interests of the system" He said
that he is more convinced than ever that
the Gould system has a great future. He
added that ii is untrue that while in the
West he sought additional traffic conces-
sions from the Southern Pacific or made
any threats of another coast line. The
traffic relations between the Gould line and
its connections are now satisfactory.

HUSBAND WAS TOO GOOD.
Unusual Allegation Of Mrs. West, of
Broad Ripple.

In the case of West VS.. West, action for
divorce, Judge Allen, of the Circuit Court,
found a rather peculiar situation yesterday.
The Vests live near Broad Ripple. The
wife is suing for divorce on the grounds of
abandonment. She told the court an I'M
usual story. She said her husband became
so importunate with his religion that he
annoyed her. She said he prayed for her
day and night. At length she told him they
could live together no longer and one of
them must go. AS she owned the property,
West said he would go. She now charges
abandonment, and he agreed not TO make
a defense, as he is willing that the divorce
should be granted. Judge Allen was not
entirely satisfied with hearing one side of
the case. and said he would not give a de-
cision until he could talk with West
