ERichmond Mans Pronounced
Views Against Bossism and
In Favor of Temperance
Will Be Openly Declared.
WILL MEET THE EMMITY
OF THE TAGGART PUSH.
Kuhn Expects to Give Vent to
His Views, No Matter What
The Results May Be-Bryan
To Sound the Keynote.

Just as William Jennings Bryan is
expected to sound the national demo-
cratic keynote for the campaign of
1908, at J. Kirby Risks political meet
1ngs at Lafayette next Monday night,
the Rev. r. II. Kuhn of this city, is
expected to sound the keynot for the
state campaign. At least he is ex-
pected to sound the platform on which
he would have the democrats of Indi-
ana stand. This probably will be
temperance.
The Indianapolis press has during
the past few weeks, intimated that the
Rev. Kuhn would place his powers
and he has many-against the famous
Taggart- Crawford Fairbanks clique Of
Indianapolis, which is to all minds fig
uratively, If not literally. identified
with the brewery interests of the state
and who undoubtedly hold the whip
hand SO far as these interests of the
state are concerned. The Rev. Kuhn.
1t is predicted in Richmond. will star
lie the Lafayette meeting with a pro-
which, it is said he thinks the demo
Gratis should stand, especially during
this time, when the temperance Ques-
tion Is SO well thought of by the better
element in the democratic party. The
Rev. Kuhn will demand the overthrow
CT 5ossism In the party. and his speech
will undoubtedly stir up "muss" in
democratic ranks, as many of the
Taggart clique will be in attendance.
notwithstanding the fact that it is gen
orally conceded that J. Kirby Risk, the
host, has been listed for slaughter by
the Taggart interests.
The press generally, has given Kuhn
credit for announcing radical temper
anco views as they should affect next
campaign issues, but the. truth is he
has kept mum on the subject. Indian
Rpolis papers have been imagining and
speculating on this point. Kuhn,
however, Is expected to speak openly
and without fear next Monday night.
His campaign policy he says, has
been ruled by the principle of speak
ing the truth, no matter what the re-
suits. His candid manner has won
him friends and should he advocate
the overthrow of the Taggart clique
at the Lafayette meeting, and ask for
a temperance platform, he will un-
doubtedly get the support of thous-
ands of democrats throughout the
state. even though the Taggart
push be against him.

Judge Fox Finds a Reason
That He Holds Is Sufficient
For Another Fearing of This
Now Famous Case.
GRAND JURY MUST DOTS
WORK A SECOND TIME.
viii Have to Investigate the
Charge Again-Johnson win
Retire and Allow Freeman
To Prosecute.

This morning Judge Fox granted
the petition made Wednesday by At
torney Henry L. Johnson for a new
trial of the Green case. Tuesday af-
ternoon in the circuit court the jury
found Verna Green guilty of assault
and battery with intent to commit
rape on three-year-old Hazel Harris.
In the verdict Green's age was given
as sixteen years.
Judge Fox held that Green was en-
titled to a new trial because the jury
had given his age as sixteen years
when there was undisputed testimony
that he was seventeen years of age
BY the finding :. The jury it would
have been necessary to sentence
Green to the reform school at Plain.
field but the court could not sentence
him to this institution because the
law provides that any male person
who has completed his sixteenth year
must be sent TO the Jeffersonville re
formatOry. Green was seventeen
years of age the day the trial started
The court also granted Mr.. johnson 5
petition for new trial on the ground
that when Green was arrested ne was
a Juvenile, being sixteen years Of age
and that his case was not investigated
by the probation officer before pro
ceedfugs We're taken against him, as
required by law. In this view Judge
Fox is mistaken, however, as the lin
it for probation court investigation is
Is years. which Green had passed.
Must Do Work over.
The grand jury will row have 20 in
vestigate the Green case again and
Attorney John f. Robbins, who prose
Cuted the case, states that he thinks
he can produce evidence before the
grand jury which viii. warrant them
in returning an Indictment for rape
against Green. Mr.. Robbins is salts
fled with the court having ordered Il
new trial he is of the opinion that the
grounds on which the court ordered q
new trial would have been sufficient
cause for the supreme court reversing
the verdict of the jury, had Judge FoS
refused to grant new trial and the
finding Of the jury appealed to the su
prone court.
Mr.. Johnson states that he will not
renresent Green when he is placed or
trial again. This will necessitate p.
Freeman, county Dauner attorney, de
Tending Green Mr. Johnson remark
ed with a laugh that Mr.. Freeman haC
made the statement that Green should
be sent to the penitentiary." l vii
now step out of the case and allow
Mr.. Freeman to defend Green in the
next trial" remarked Mr. Johnson
AS yet no date for the hearing of the
case has been set. The grand jury
took up it's work this afternoon and i
was intimated an attempt would bt
made to secure Indictment for rape
which would mean a life sentence.
