Charged With the Murder of His
Twin Sister.

Twin Sister.
Rising Sun, Ind, May 2.-The term
of the district court which convened
here today will be made notable by
the trial of James Gillespie, the well
to-do and prominent citizen who is
charged with the murder of his twin
sister, Miss Elizabeth Gillespie. The
crime attracted widespread attention
and the trial will be followed with
close attention throughout this sec
tion of the country.
On the night of December 8. last.
Miss Gillespie was arranging chairs
in her home for the reception of a
literary club to which she belonged,
when she was shot dead through a
window. After few days of investi-
eating, the grand jury indicted Jas
Gillespie, the twin brother of the mu-r
dered woman; Myron L. Barbour, his
wife Carrie, and Mrs. Belle Seward,
all close relatives of Miss Gillespie.
It is the supposition that James Gil

THE LANE WILL CONTEST.
Suit Over the Estate of Thomas F..
Lane Called for Trial.

Sun over the Estate OF Thomas F
Lane Called for Trial.
Washington, May 2.-The suit over
the estate of Thomas F. Lane, who
died here in October, 1900. was call
ed for trial today before Judge Wright
in the district court That the case
will prove rather sensational seems
certain from the nature of the evi-
dence that is to be presented, and
the ablest lawyers in Washington
have been retained on each side The
contest is over the will left by Mr.
Lane, in which he bequeathed prop
erty amounting to about $4,000 to
his mother, brothers and sister, all
residents of Summit, N. j., and pro-
vided that his estate, in excess OF
that amount. should be divided be-
tween his wife and his mother.
Mr.. Lanes wife was a daughter of
Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, and
the letter containing the foregoing
disposition of Mr. Lanes property
was found in Mr.. Lanes effects and
taken possession of by his widow
after his death. She placed it in a
safe deposit vault, refused to have
it opened or disposed of, and it was
not until after her death in July
1902. that the lawyers representing
Mr.. Lanes brother, who had been
fighting to secure possession of the
letter, or knowledge of it's contents,
succeeded in having it opened After
her death Senator Blackburn was ap
pointed executor of her estate, and
when he visited the safe deposit
vaults, accompanied by two repre-
was found among the contents After
long and bitter fight the effort to
have the will admitted to probate
was successful, and Senator Black
burns application to be appointed
was denied
Senator Blackburn is now contest
ing the will on behalf of the daughter
of Thomas F. Lane, and is making
the contest on the ground that Mr..
Lane was of unsound mind when il
was written. The will is very brief
comprising only about a dozen lines
entirely in Mr.. Lanes handwriting
but properly witnessed by Edward
Tucker, who was butler in Mr.
Lanes house. and in form and phras-
eology has been admitted to be le-

have indicated no objection to Dav-

Reports here of the fighting on the
Yalu river place the Russian casual
ties at 500. They also had 81 officers
