MEN ABANDONED THEIR
RIGS NEAR HAGERSTOWN
Only Clew Developed Yesterday
Regarding Assailants of
Muncie Policeman.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
MUNCIE, Ind, Feb. 26.-The only clew
that the police obtained to-day of the men
who shot down Policeman Oscar Furr, as
he opened the door of the Illingworth tool
shop last night, was the finding of an
abandoned horse and road wagon near Ha-
gerstown. Tracks of three men led into a
thicket near by.
The rig was identified as that stolen last
night from the barn of Frank Hughes, a
farmer east of Muncie. The three men are
believed to have boarded the train at Ha-
gerstown and made their way to Cincinnati.
The police there have been notified. 1t is
thought the men are Cincinnati crooks,
who came here to do a big job of robbery
and were frustrated at the start.
Patrolman Furr rested we'll to-day, but
remains in a very serious condition. He has
hardly bled at all from the wound The
bullet has not yet been removed. 1t will
be a few days before his chances of re-
covery can be determined.

EVIDENCE OF SERVANTS
FOR MRS. SARAH GREGG
They Testify that Mrs. June Gregg
Was Well Treated While in
the Gregg Household.
TESTIMONY OF A NIECE

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
CRAWFORDSVILLE.I Ind. Feb. 26-Tes-
timony for the defense in the Gregg aliena-
tion-of-affectiOns suit to-day related chiefly
TO the treatment of Mrs. June Gregg by
Mrs. Sarah Gregg while the former was a
member of the Gregg household as the wife
OF George Gregg. Some allusion was made
TO the number of dresses and other articles
of wearing apparel received by Mrs. June
Gregg, and the burden of the testimony
otherwise was that the defendant did all
she could for the plaintiff while they were
under the same roof. Two of the witnesses
were servants of Mrs. Sarah Gregg
Rosa Sering and Mary Shafer, servants,
said Mrs. June Gregg sometimes aided with
the homework and that defendant did
not object Mary Shafer had waited on
defendant. day and night. when she
sick, and was still with her. George Gregg
and his wife often had disputes. she said,
some of which she overheard and some of
which were recounted to her by the negro
doctor, Hickman. Defendant had always
treated plaintiff well in her presence and
had told her she was sorry when George
and his wife separated. On cross-examina-
tion she admitted that Hickman felt resent
full against Mrs. June Gregg, because the
latter once had accused him OF purloining
a pair of scissors. The testimony of Rosa
Sering did not differ in essentials from that
of Mary Shafer
Mrs. Minnie Mcknight. a niece of de-
PENDANT, denied statements to the effect that
defendant had made remarks I'm her presence
derogatory to Mrs. June Gregg's family.
She made mention of the fact that the
young woman spoken of heretofore haV-
ing been kissed by George Gregg. after his
marriage, was not at the wedding or the
reception that followed, but on cross-exam-
ination admitted that this woman had &C
cess to the Gregg home at all times, enter
ing the house at any hour without knock
ing or other announcement. She said Mrs.
Sarah Gregg always treated plaintiff with
respect. but that plaintiff did help some in
housework. She said defendant was quick
tempered and irritable when sick. Defend
ant had told witness that plaintiff had diff
fered with her in some things, but she never
heard her say that Mrs. June Gregg was
not the equal of George Gregg, as alleged
in the complaint. She said George Gregg
had great influence over his mother, the
| defendant.

For the American rights to Liquozone-the
