PORTER SLABS A BUTLER
BARTLETT TRIGGs AT HOSPITAL IN
PRECARIOUs CONDITION.
Lee WOrthinetOn Backed Up His Ar
gument with a Knife-BOth Men
Are COlOred.

Bartlett Trggs, a porter employed at the
home of George F. McCulloch. 439 North
Pennsylvania street, was stabbed during a
fight with Lee Worthington on the corner
of Illinois and Vermont streets late last
night and was taken to the City Hospital
in the Dispensary ambulance in charge of
DR.. Crockett. Worthington is a colored por-
ter, employed at 1904 North Meridian street,
and it is said that the men have for years
held a grudge against each other.
Triggs, in the company of William Ewing,
a colored butler, also in the employ of Mr..
McCulloch, according to the story told by
Ewing. were walking along Illinois street,
when Worthington approached and started
an argument with Triggs The two men
argued for few moments, when Worthing-
ton drew knife from his pocket and
stabbed Triggs several times. On seeing
what he had done Worthington turned and
ran to 1904 North .deridian street, where he
has been working, and went to bed. He was
later found there and placed under arrest
by Bicycle Policemen Morgan and Simon
and locked up at the police station on a
charge Of assault and battery with intent
to kill.
Triggs's condition is considered serious,
and he suffered much from the loss of
blood. having several long and deep cuts
about his face, neck and body. In case
death results the charge against Worthing-
ton will be changed to murder.

when Fifteen Years Old She Married
the First Negro I'm Cincinnati
Charge OF Amalgamatioa.

Cornelius Daniels, coIored OF 529 West
Sixteenth street, and his white wife. Mi
nerva Daniels. were arrested yesterday aft
ernoon by Bicyclemen Trimpe and Lowe
ana locked up at the police station to an
swer to the charge of amalgamation. The
couple were married in this city about a
year and half ago and until the last few
weeks have been living together.
Mrs. Daniels was formerly Miss Minerva
Kahl and lived during her girlhoood days
with her mother. who now resides at s44
Bates street. At the age of fifteen the girl
ran away from home and went TO Cincin-
natl where she married Otto Kersey. a
colored man. and lived with him for two
years until he was sent to prison for a
term OF six years. She then applied for
divorce. but later. on hearing that he was
dead. dropped the suit
In 1902 she came to Indianapolis. and on
May 10 OF the same year was married to
Daniels. She and Daniels lived together
until two weeks ago. when Kersey. the
woman's first colored husband. came to In
dianapolis and persuaded her to leave Dan
iels and live with him. She did as he
wished. and Daniels yesterday afternoon
called at the police station and presented
e-dptdlH Win marriage llCeISS,
telling OF his troubles and stating that he
did not want the woman any more after
finding that she had married him without
first securing a divorce from her former
husband.
An investigation followed, and IL was
found that the woman could not be placed
under arrest on the charge of bigamy be-
cause her marriage in this State was void.
while the Ohio marriage was valid. She
was then locked up on the amalgamation
charge, which in this State prevents the
marriage OF whites and negroes.
Daniels was also placed under arrest un-
der the same charge. but says he thought
The woman was negress, as she had al

years over her daughters love for the ne
groes. She ran away from home when
she was a hfteen-year-old girl, and within
three months had married a colored man

grand jury.
