are occupying their summer home
here, after an extended tour OF
Europe. England, France, Italy,

Defendant Wins in Case
TWYfOrd VS.. Miller.

"A verdict for the defendant
by direction of the court yester-
day morning was the result OF
the many days trial of the case
of Henry Twyford against A. }.
Miller in Federal court.
The plaintiff, a lawyer, Of Hen
Jacksonville, brought suit against
the defendant, a blind man OF
Frankfort, Ind, alleging that he
had given defendant a granite
residence in Hendersonvllle and
SIS, 900 for a stock of dry goods.
but he had been deceived and the
goods proved to be but odds and
ends of stock, moth eaten andof
little value instead of being
worth $685. zoo as represented.
At the close of the evidence the
defendant moved the court for a
verdict for defendant, while
plaintiff moved to be allowed to
amend his complaint. Judge
Newman took the motions under
advisement, and yesterday morn
ing announced his decision. He
told the jury that if there was
doubt, as to facts it was his duty
Ito submit a case to a jury, but it
there was no possible ground for
recovery, it was equally the duty
of the court to direct a verdict
for defendant, and suchw the
case in the pending suit. The
defendant Miller, he said, had
asked plaintiff to investigate the
stock, and plaintiffs agent had
spent three days in examining it.
Further than this, on October
10th, 1904, plaintiff had written
Miller a letter which showed that
he knew the stock was made uI
of remnants. In respect to the
plaintiffs claim that the goods
had been falsely inventoried, the
Judge said that at the time OF the
negotiations for the trade it was

Indiana IN Line.

Hon. John w. Kern, of Indiana,
democratic nominee for vice
president, who knows more
about the sentiment in his state
than any other man, has given
out this statement:
Things were never so bright
for Democratic victory and In
diana will certainly be found in
the Democratic column this year.
Not since 1892 have the con-
ditions in Indiana been so favor
able for the Democrats. Thomas
R.. Marshall will make the
strongest possible run on the
Democratic State ticket for Gov
ernor, being well liked by Re-
publicans, who this year are
split in factions. | would not be
surprised to see the gubernato-
rial ticket run ahead Of the
national ticket"
1t is confidently believed that
the electoral vote of Indiana this
year will go to the democratic
ticket as it did in 1884 and 1892,
Mr.. Bryan is popular in that sec
ton IF the country and with the
added strength of Mr.. Kern q
democratic victory is not inn
probable in many of the middle
and northwestern states. The
South and West have enough
votes to elect a president with.
out the aid of any Eastern com
monwealth and we hope they
will rise to the situation Ithi:
year.

Former Vice. President, Adlai E..
Stevenson was nominated for gov
ernor of Illinois in Saturdays
primary election and it is believ-
ed that he will win a decisive
victory at the polls in November.
The fact that Mr.. Stevenson was
anxious to secure the nomination
shows his faith in the fight and
if he carries that State, Bryan
and Kern are mighty apt to dc
the same.
