BEDFORD. Ind. June 3.-If the grand
jury has unearthed anything that will tend
to show who murdered Miss Sarah Schafer
no one who has not been in the grand jury
room knows anything about it. Any reports
of what the grand jury has or has not done
are merely guess work
The officials grasping after every
clew, however faint. but the measure of
their success. though known only by in
ference, is believed TO be small. and there
is little expectation that the grand jury,
which will report tomorrow. will return
an indictment. A subpoena is said to have
been issued to-day for DR.. Emma Colop.
of indianapolis, at whose home Miss Eva
Love stayed on her visit to Indianapolis.
the time she supposed to have gone to
her home in Seymour.
Several Bedford society women were be-
fore the grand jury to-day. and subpoenas
were issued for three women of Harrods-
burg. Instead OF waiting for a train the
bailiff mounted a swift horse and made a
hurried trip to serve the papers
Miss Love. who was Miss Schafer's room
mate, was before the grand jury for more
than an hour but no hint of the nature of
her testimony was allowed to leak out.
When she came from the juryrOom her
face was flushed and she showed other
signs of mental perturba ton as the result
of her examination. Miss Madge Dobbins
and Miss Lulu Hoopingardher, intimate
friends OF the murdered girl also were be-
fore the jury. 1t is said that as the result
OF Miss Dobbinss testimony a subpoena
has been issued for a young man of Terre
Haute, who went with Miss Schafer at one
time. but they afterward became estranged.
Charles King, of Paoli. has been 5ubpoe-
naed in connection with the incidents sur
rounding the man who discarded, in the
fatal alley. the flask which had contained
Canadian whisky.
The editor of the Brazil Democrat who
had been summoned to appear before the
jury to-day, failed to do so, and neither has
the jury, which will be adjourned to-mor-
row. Editor Gledwell had charged. in an
editorial. that two days before her de-
parture for indianapolis. Miss Love gave
letter to Miss Schafer. TO be opened
only in the event that anything happened
to the writer. The state wants to know
where Mr.. Gledwell secured his informa-
ton.
The officials are receiving the usual batch
of letters from persons at different points.
some claiming TO have the power to locate
the murderer, others claiming to he the
persons who killed the dead teacher. but
they are given no credence. the officials
looking upon them as coming from persons
who probably are unbalanced, and they are
laid aside.
The feature of to-day's extraneous oc-
currences was editorial commenting on
II. ~.
the Bedford Democrat, which this evening
bitterly arraigns the doctor for 'unpro-
fessional conduct" 1t says:
THE most unprofessional act we have
ever heard of is that of DIR. Fletcher, of
indianapolis, in giving TO the world the
deathbed delirium of the late Olin Bundy
If Fletcher knows anything of the disease
he claims TO be master Of he knew that
the brain of Mr.. Bundy was overtaxed-
overworked; in rundown condition. Even
did he not know that. he should know that

fession are the most sacred, and for him
to give out these condolences deserves for
him, the severest condemnation
For weeks before he left here the fam
lily and a few intimate friends of Mr..
Bundy knew of his unfortunate condition.
We who knew him best and cared for him
bringing the possessor future honors giving
way under the strain of overwork and an
enfeebled physical condition brought by
a fever OF several weeks
at only took this horrible murder to
bring about the utter collapse. and it was
i'm the hope of bringing rest and recovery
that he was sent away and later to Dr.
Fletcher's sanatorium. How man of Dr.
Fletchers standing could break a conf
dence of such proportions we do not know
We can comprehend how a man of quack
tendencies could do such a thing for the
notoriety he could get out of it, but surely
Fletcher, with his state reputation, cam
not afford to seek advertising along such a
line.
The delirium of Oin Bundy was such
that but few could understand. He. in mis-
condition, believed he was being charged
with the awful crime, and when on his
dea athbed he spoke of AN innocent victim
IL was in reference to himself-not Nc
Donald. More than once he told us he be-
lieved Mcdonald guilty. In his irrational
moments he thought the people would sus-
pect him, as they did others, of this awful
crime"
