MARVIN INFEDERALCOURT
MYSTERY OF HIS CASE ROUsES IN
TEREST OF OFFICIALS.
Unidentified Desperate Bound Over to
Grand Jury in $4,000 Bond-Hear.
ing Before Moores.

George Marvin, the unidentified des-
perado. charged with robbing the postoffice
at Michigantown. appeared before Commits
sioner Charles w. Moores yesterday at
noon and on bond of 5000 was bound over
to the grand jury for trial next November.
Marvin's case is a mysterious one, but that
he is a noted criminal the officers are GER
tain. The trouble is to place him. 1t was
at first thought that Marvin was the
famous Frank Duncan. for whom the Ala
bama officers have offered a reward of 5000
for the murder of two Birmingham police
men. However, Capt. Tom Halls examined
Marvin yesterday afternoon and found that
his body marks and measurements do not
correspond to those of Duncan. Captain
Halls said that the man had been exam
ined before because he was on to all the
tricks of inaccurate measurement and that
most OF his injuries are affected.
Marvin was brought here supposedly in a
bad condition. the result OF nitroglycerin
explosion at Gillettsville. near which place
he was captured. The theory of the ex-
piosion Is that Marvin and another man
had planned to blow open the postoffice
safe at Gillettsville but in running Marvin
fell on the nitroglycerin. When found he
was In the woods not far from the town,
seen. Marvin said that he was deaf and
partly blind from the explosion, and one
side of his body was badly lacerated, but
Captain Halls said after examining him
yesterday that his hearing was not affected
and his eyesight was perfect.
DR.. c. A. linn, who stopped to water his
horse before the postoffice at Michigantown
at the time of the robbery and was seized
by the robbers and tied, was at the trial
yesterday and identified Marvin as one OF
the men that had bound him. Marvin said
yesterday that he was born in Chicago and
was a butcher by trade. In answering the
questions put to him he always hesitated
and was very careful in what he replied

WEDDING OUT LOITERERS.


Yesterday was a busy day in Police
Court. The arrests made during the pre-
vious twenty-four hours. together with con-
tinued cases, brought the number up to be
disposed of to thirty-eight. The increase
was due largely to the number of white an6
colored loafers around barrel houses and
other places. large number of thieves
and crooks and men who are unable to give
an account of themselves are being arrest
ed on the charge of lettering. Ten or more
negroes and lot of white men were arrest
ed on the streets Tuesday and Judge Whal-
lon fined nearly all OF them yesterday
morning. Some OF them were unable to
pay their fines and were sent TO the work.
house.
That Indianapolis is a mecca for Southern
negroes was shown yesterday when a coll
ored man giving his name Charles Penn,
charged with lettering. said that he had
always understood that Indianapolis was
an ideal place OF residence for negroes. He
had a letter OF recommendation from Book
er T Washington. of the Tuskegee colored
school in Alabama, of which he asserts he
Is a graduate, and also teachers license
He was released.
The negro population is now estimated
at over 40 900 and the influx of these unde-
sirable classes Is said by the police TO be
causing much concern. Patrolmen say that
contractors and other employers of coll
ored labor visit Indiana avenue TO secure
EMPLOYEES. but that their efforts are usual
ly unsuccessful. although hundreds OF idle
men are seen In the resorts. The court
continued In session all day.

ment suspended on the payment of fifty

wagon. were released on probation. Father
McCool was made probation officer for the
boys. Lenahan's mother, who had allowed

TIE POSTING OF PTCKETS
ARGUMENT IN THE MOTOR VEHICLE
COMPANY INJUNCTION SUIT.
Judge Carter May Make Known His
Decision To-Day-others News
of the Courts.

The hearing OF the injunction fled by the
Motor Vehicle Company against the White
River Lodge. No. 161. OF the Internation
Association OF Machinists, occupied the
time in Judge Carriers court yesterday and
the matter was taken under advisement
by the court late in the afternoon.
Charles MartindaIe opened the argument
for the company and contended that 1t had
shown sufficient cause to entitle the plain
tin to the injunction. He said there was
no question in the case Of the right TO form
unions or the right of men to strike, but
that after they are out they have no right
in any way to interfere with their former
employers business.
Frank Gronninger followed in behalf of
the machinists and insisted that the men
of the union had committed no acts for
which they should be enjoined and that
the man who assaulted Wheeler had moth
Ing 20 do with the union. This Is nothing
like the Drop Forge case" he said, great
crowds collected In that instance and Ii
became necessary to call out the police.
The men In this strike ought to be congrat-
ulated on the way they have conducted
themselves. They have shown themselves
TO have clean hands. A picket peaceably
maintained Is lawful"
II Is generally believed that Judge Carter
viii grant the order. but will allow the men
to have two pickets. The Judge intimated
that this case was similar to the Drop
Forge case in which he granted an injunc-
ton.

MOTHER GETS THE CHILD.


In granting Margaret Powers the custody
Of her two-months-old baby. yesterday.
Judge Allen held that a mother has a
stronger claim on her child than another
woman who forms an attachment for it.
The decision Of Judge Allen was the re-
suit Of habeas corpus proceedings brought
In the Circuit Court last Saturday by Mar
garet Powers to obtain possession of her
baby, which had been left at the home Of
Edon and Jennie Otto. She paid Mrs. Otto
81 week for the baby's board, and fur
nished 1t with prepared baby food. The
baby became sick a short time ago, and
when the mother went to get it Mrs. Otto,
who had become greatly attached TO the in
fant, refused TO give 1t up, and alleged
1Est the mother was attempting to poison IT,.
The case was heard Saturday by Judge
Allen, at which time he allowed the mother
to take the child. Upon the failure of Mrs.
Otto to show that she was entitled to the
custody of the child ii was permanently
restored to its mother.

osGOOD ESTATE TAXES.
Treasurer Eoehne Files Petition
Against the Marion Trust Company.


Against the Marion Trust Company.
A petition was filed yesterday by Armin
c. Koehne. treasurer of Marion county,
against the Marion Trust Company, adj
ministrator OF the estate Of Mason ]. Os-
good. in the Circuit Court, asking that the
trust company be required to pay delin-
Quent taxes for 1902
IL is claimed that taxes amounting to
A.5o3.6S have not been paid, and the court
IS asked to make this amount a claim
against the estate and compel the Marion
Trust Company TO pay the same out OF the
income from the estate.
A statement was filed by Linton ]. Cox,
as friend OF the court, relative TO the claim,
in which he states that the real property
OF the estate is now in controversy I'm a suit
In the Superior Court and that the claim
for taxes Is upon land, and not upon per-
sonal property. The land is not vested in
the administrator, but only the personal
property, and the heirs of the estate should
be required to make good the delinquent
taxes, the petition says.
