BRYANT HUSBAND
 OF THREE WIVES

Greenfield, Ind. April 22-A third fam fly of Thomas Bates was discovered to- day when son living at Terre Haute made himself known by sending money to pay for the burial of his father, who was found dead of strychnin poisoning in barn near this city a few days ago. None of the other of the mans relatives cared to attend his funeral.
 Bates was a veteran of the civil war and afterward was dissatisfied to live in one community. His first wife, the mother of the son that has paid his funeral ex- penses, he deserted when the child was year old He next settled at Orleans Ind. where he married. After three chil drn had been born he deserted his family and made Nashville, Ind. his home. Here he married for the third time and 6 daughter was born of the marriage Hs was content there for 23 years. Last win ter he disappeared from Nashville and 2 turned up again in New Orleans. His second wife. thinking he was dead, had married again years before.
 old, weary and homeless, Bates now wandered about and finally came to his end by his own hand in q strange and barren place.

 AN EARLY TRIAL For Murder of Well Known
 Annisten Miller HEAVY DOWNPOUR OF RAIN
HEAVY DOWNPOUR OF RAIN
The Precipitation for 24 Hours Ex- ceeds 5Ia Inches-Houses In Busi- ness Section of Annlston Were
 Flooded and Traffic Stopped

Anniston, April 23.-(special. .)-Inasmuch
 been laid at the door of Irwin Pope by the ooroner's jury, which adjourned yesterday afternoon, Judge Thomas ". Coleman will immediately review the evi- dence In the case and call a special ses- sion of the city court grand Jury for the purpose of giving the defendant an inn mediate trial and meting out summary
 justice in the event he should be con-
 victed.
 What is considered to be the strongest
 evidence against Pope is the mule tracks
 around the scene of the murder. The
 tracks showed a break in the hoof of the
 mule, and this corresponds exactly with an animal which is owned by Pope, the
 animals hoof having this tel-tae char acteristic. Besides this, the finding of the bloody shoes at Pope's home, the but tons in the ashes, together with the evil
 dence furnished by John Body, who testi- fled to hearing Irwin and McClurllin talk 1 ing excitedly near the scene of the crime in front of his house and other facts are considered to have made out pretty
 strong case against the negro.
 It is not believed, however. that the | state will be able to convict Pope without l a strong fight There were no eye wit
 nesses and the evidence Is almost purely eircumstantial, barring the statement of John Body and the previous uprightness
 of the negro will be a weighty point in his favor. Pope has been very industrious | and has accumulated some money. It Is | believed that he will employ the very | ablest counsel in his fight for his life. | Even his industry, though, will be in- yolved in the chain of circumstantial evil 1 dence, as it is believed that his business l operations have been on a scale too large | for his interests the very murder itself | being the outcome of his alleged effort to l rob the McClurkin mill. He is said to l have made a contract to furnish one of l his tenants some cotton seed on the night 1 of the murder, and after the alleged bur
 glary was frustrated he made excuse, 1t 1 is said, for his failure to produce the | goods.
 One of the negroes occupying a cell near 1 Pope stated upon the stand yesterday aft ernoon in the coroner's inquest that Pope l had taken a small pan in the cell and | broken it Into three pieces. One of these l tin pieces he sharpened thoroughly on the | bars of his cell and placed it under the l head of his mattress. after which he l asked if it was possible that the Jailei l could be overpowered and compelled tc l give up the keys to his cell should a mol | come to the jail.
 | The officers immediately investigated
 and found the tin in the place where the | negro had stated.

 The flood that struck this city about 5 p. m. yesterday was fierce and inflicted considerable damage. Ward Five. per- haps through which flowed the accumu- lated torrent. suffered most from the ter rife downpour of rain and hail, but the damage was by no means confined to that section of the city.
 Streets were washed and bridges torn from noorings everywhere. Houses were flooded in the business district, especial ly on Tenth and Noble streets, and con- siderable damage was done to property. The fierce winds that accompanied the downpour added to the general alarm that prevailed the oity. Traffic was stop ped. The sharp lightning and heavy thunder made the storm more awful and sent a thrill of dread through the oity. Street cars were at a standstill on the tracks and transportation could not be secured. Many of the ladies downtown when the storm struck the city were forced to wade through the flooded streets to their homes, as cabs could not be se- cured. No accidents have been reported.
 May Be an leorrote.
 The people living in the DeArmanville section, near this city, are considerably exercised over the appearance of a dog eater which has been playing havic with canines during the last few days. One night this week the dogeater visited the home of Mr McComb, the miller. and there killed and devoured dog, leaving only one of the dog feet. A dog belong ing to Frank Jobson was nearly killed by something one night this week, and 1t is supposed that the same animal also did this work. Several other canines in this district are said to have been killed and everybody Is watching for the prowler.
 Breaches on Christian Science.
 Evangelist Stewart, who Is preaching at the Parker Memorial Baptist church, yes- terday delivered a fierce arraignment of Christian Science, taking as his text. Keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding the opposition of science, which is so-oalled.''
 Mir. Stewart claims that Mrs. Eddy has plagiarized the doctrine of Christian Science from Hinduism, which Is 4000 years old, and called it her child. He said that 1t has denied the personality of God and put Mrs. Eddy in equality with Christ, claiming that Christian Science Is the Holy Ghost and that being filled with the Holy Ghost means having en- larged knowledge of Christian Science which is sufficient of itself to condemn the whole system even if it's founder were truthful and it's tenets reasonable and a blessing.
