INDIANA MEN TRADED WIVES
All Went Merrjly Until Women Met
and Hostilities Had Reached
Court.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov. 10-"It's
no use to lie about It,, we traded
wives, y said Jacob eastman is Justice
Of Peace Stout's court.
"You knew what kind of a women
you we're getting when you we're mar
ried, didn't you?' asked Justice Stout.
"Yes, l did, said eastman.
"That's all ! want to know re.
turned Stout.
eastman, with Mrs. Mary Beckman,
the women be drew ia the trade, ap-
peared In the court on complaint Of
Cashman's wife, Mamie eastman.
eastman was charged with wife deser-
tion. Mrs. eastman Is said to have
been traded 10 Fred Beckman, hus-
band Of Mary Beckman.
The court proceedings failed to dis
cover any evidence Of the money con-
sideration or any Of the other details
OF the trade, for an agreement that
reached which eastman and Mrs.
Beckman pleaded guilty and were
fined 81 and costs each.
1t is said that things went along
smoothly after the trade was made
and the strange deal had every ap-
pearance Of merging into something
OF a permanent nature. At length,
however, the women pet and hostil-
tiles began.

ing Peddler at Holiday, Mo.

PARIS, Mo-, Nov. 9.-Simpson Pin
nell, a farm laborer, was arrested last
night in Shelby county on the charge
of numbering an Italian peddlei

The body Of a man, supposed TO be

A few days before the finding Of

In the neighborhood, accompanied by
Simpson. Shortly Afterwards, Slmp-

pack In WEIGH and Holiday. The
italian did not accompany him to

JONES DISAPPOINTED.

Special to 'The Jersey City News.'o
TRENTON, April Is, 19o5.-Henry
Jones, whose sentence of death for the
killing of Gilmore Durant was commuted
to life Imprisonment by the board Of
pardons. has been told that he will not
have to go to the scaffold.
Sheriff Thomas Thropp hurried to
Jones's cell as soon as the decision Of
the board reached him.
Il am Just as pleased to tell you,
Henry said the Sheriff. .'as you are
to hear, that you are not to be hanged.
/ am glad that it wilT not be my duty
to impose the death penalty on you."
Contrary to expectations, Jones did not
show any JOY.
Il did not think that would have to
serve all my life for it, said he. II
thought / would get new trial and if l
did | thought I would be allowed to
go free. It's tough to have to spend my
life in prison for something / did not
do
That's the way Jones has acted ever
since yesterday. He insists that ne is not
guilty and thinks the punishment too Sc
we're in spite Of the fact that he has es-
capped the gallows by such narrow mar
gin.
The necessary papers for Jones's re-
moval from the county jail to the prison
will be made out soon, and ii is thought
that the prisoner viii be back at the
State institution before the end Of the
week.
