PRETTY GIRL DISTRESS
YOUNG WOMAN SEEKS ESCAPE FROM
JEALOUS ADMIRERS.
Troubles Of Hattie Schuster, OF Las
porte, and Her Beaus He Aired
in the Court This Week.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
LAPORTE, Ind, Aug. 4.-The people OF
Laporte are just now pretty much en-
crossed in the details OF very unusual and
to some extent sensational case, growing
out of the apparent jealousies of one young
man because of the attentions received by
a young woman from other men. Recently
Miss Hattie Schuster, vino came TO La
porte some months ago from Hamlet APP
pealed Saturday night at one of the
leading dry goods stores for escort and pro-
lection to her home. She said that her life
had been threatened by young man named
Martinsen. residing at Tracy. this county.
and as he was i'm town that evening and
had made remark to her on the street
which caused her to fear that he might
take her life and then commit suicide,
she was afraid to go home alone. She ex-
planned that she had endeayored to dis
courage the advances of Martinsen, but
had apparently made him the more jealous.
The matter was placed in the hands OF the
police the following day but no charges
were filed, as the young lady had horror
of publicity.
There was a lull in the case until the
other evening when John Bach, of Kings
bury, came TO town and took Miss Schuster
TO the hand concert. AS they started driv-
ing after the concert the harness fell OF
the horse, which promptly ran away and the
girl TO save possible injury jumped. In
vestigation showed that the harness had
been deliberately cut into ribbons. Al
though Fred Martinsen was not known to
have any grudge against Bach, the latter
suspected the Tracy man of the act and so
filed a complaint against him i'm a justice
court charging malicious trespass. Mare
tinsen was arrested and the trial is set for
Friday. To-day Miss Schuster filed a com-
plant against Martinsen, asking that he
be required to keep the peace and that he
be placed under heavy bonds. Martinseu
admits having had differences with the girl
but denies having had any serious inten-
tions of doing her bodily harm or Of having
cut Bach's harness.

Motion for a Continuance of the Case
OverruIed by the Court.


GEORGETOWN, KY, Aug 4-Among
those here to testify for the defense in the
trial of ex-Secretary of State Caleb Powers
IL "Talow Dick" Combes, the colored bar
ber who is also under indictment for al
legged completely in the Goebel murder. He
is expected to contradict Henry Youtsey,
who is serving life sentence and has be-
come a witness for the prosecution.
The defense to-day offered affidavits for
a continuance, supported by a plea in
abatement to go behind the records of the
Legislature that unseated w. S. Taylor as
Governor and other State officers in favor
of Goebel and others. IL was upon this
authority that the Court of Appeals held
the advance pardon of Powers by Taylor
to be effective. The plea held that by going
back of legislative records the defense
could show the pardon TO be good
After the argument the court overruled
the motion for a continuance and allowed
the admission of dispositions Of absent wit
nesses except in the cases of William
Sweeney and John Sweeney, jr who had
been summoned as - Sweeney. In these
instances the court held that due diligence
was not used in that the names of the
parties could have been procured.
