CONCLUSION The. chief thought Of tho
lesson s that uttered by ;, an orator during our

lions. States arise and 3 fall Accord
Ing to This will. Ordinary men do not
see Hin at work In history. They see only
the strivings Of mortals, each intent on his
own business and pleasure. by the help
OF the Holy Spirit tho sacred writer behs d
the Almighty thrusting into the free actions
Of men Ills own wisdom and power TO ac-
coinplIsl what men could neither plan nor
foresee. Another grcat point In the lesson -
the disclosure Of the secret OF national da-
clared there were two kinds OF. nations-thc
living and the dying-and that all the former
are Chrsttan. This truth is illustrated In the
fate OF Israel, When the people did wlckedly
and praoticed Idolatry the seeds Of dissolutlon,
were sown. Sin is the source OF national

ALLEGED .FORGER PLACED.
ON TRIAL At PORTLAND
Robert Knox Is Accused by Bank
Officials and Company of
Detectives.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.


PORTLAND. Ind, May 23.-Robert j.
Knox was put on trial in the Circuit Court
to-day before Judge Vaughn. Knox and
John Schoonover, alias III. b. Gordon, were
indicted jointly on charge of forging and
attempting to pass a raised check the
Citizens Bank in this city on March 2.
The two men had been Swallowed since Feb.
9, when Robert j. Knox was sighted in a
Third-street bank in Cincinnati by Detect
i've Jack McDermott, who had been de-
tailed on the case by the Pinkerton agency
at the instance of the American Bankers
Association. Gordon and Knox were both
arrested on March 2 in this city and Column
bus, o., respectively. When arrested here
Gordon had, besides the check for 81 800
which he attempted to pass here, check
for 5000, both of which had been raised to
a thousand times their original size. These
checks we're on the Bank of Greenbrier.
Lewsburg, W. Va, and III. L. Hunter,
cashier of the bank, with A. S. Johnson, a
clerk, are here to identify Knox as the man
TO whom the checks were issued. Assist
ant Superintendent Irle and host of de-
tectives from the Pinkerton agency, besides
Officer Emmett Kincaid, of Cincinnati, are
here as witnesses in the case.
Knox and Schoonover were indicted joint
w. but their attorneys moved to-day TO try
them separately, and the court sustained
the motion. The state then elected TO try
Knox first, which was plainly distasteful
to the defense The case will consume two
or three days.

Special TO the India lapolis Journal.
RENSSELAER,. Ind, May 2-The body
of an unknown man was found this morn
ing In thick underbrush In a pasture in
Milroy township by a man named Nelson,
who was looking for his cows. The body
was of medium-sized man about forty
FIVE years old. with sandy hair and stubby
sandy mustache. A small sum of money
and a woman's gold watch were found on
his person. but nothing by which he could
be identified. A bullet hole over his heart
indicates death by violence. but if by sui
eide the revolver has disappeared.
His pockets all contained shelled corn.
oats and straw. suggesting that he had been
insane No one I'm that neighborhood ever
saw the man before He had evidently
been dead at least two weeks. Coroner

the man and ascertain the manner of his
death There is some reason 10 believe he

first. he said. remarking that it was a
quarter past and he would go up town
for the evening mail. Glllespie sala ne
front room as he passed out at the rear
of the house and went to a. water closet.
He had just entered the out bulldlng when
he heard the shot, which, he SAID, sounded
like an explosion He at once returned
TO the house and asked the cause OF the
excitement. He saw Carrie Barbour and
Belle Seward at the side door of the Sew
ard home Gillespie said he Immediately
took charge of his sister, Belle Seward,
and administered medicines TO her all
night, she being in a nervous conditlon
and heart much affected. Carrie Barbour
assisted him, he said, during the first part
of the night
Gillespie denounced Belle Campbell as an
insane person, and said that Jane Boyle,
another witness for the state. was nearly
insane. He denied ever striking his sister
Elizabeth or doing her any violence at
any time. He said he did not shoot her or
know who did. Cross-examination of Gill
lespie was deferred and court adjourned
until morning.
The attorneys for each side stated to the
court that all evidence would be concluded
tomorrow. The arguments of the counsel
will probably consume two days. Attor-
neys for the defense state that the jury
will not convict the defendants, but on
what they base their statement Is not
known. Attorney Spaan says there is no
reason TO fear that the jury will not do
it's duty.
Dr. a. B. Hey1, of Cincinanti, late sur
geon in the United States army, was called
and testified as a gun expert. He gave
much testimony of a technical nature, in
which the jury did not appear to take much
interest. He stated that James Gillespie S
gun, 16-gauge, choke bore, could not have
been used to kill Elizabeth, because the
shot scattered too much. On examination
of the lump of shot taken from the MUIR
dered girls head after her death, the wit
ness said the size of the shot was prob
lematical, owing to its battered condition.
He said that If gun is dirty the shot
would scatter more than if clean. and that
the kind and strength of glass through
which the shot was fired would have some
thing to do with DETECTION of shot
