Anderson. Ind, April 13.-The fight
to convict Benjamin Barnes the young
Dayton business man on a charge of
criminal assault on Miss Cecil Hill of
Chicago. a student at Earlham college
while travelling from Richmond to Chi
cagO on a Pullman sleeper on the
night of January q, is developing into
big legal battle. The storm centers
effort that is being made to establish
the identity of the young womans as
sailant.
Miss Hill, while on the witness
stand yesterday afternoon, told the
story of the assault but could not des-
cribe her assailant. The berth which
she occupied was dark and owing to
the attendant excitement of the mo-
ment. she could furnish no description
of the man who had crawled into her
apartment and awakened her from
slumber. ]. c. Lee, the colored por.
ter on the train today identified
Barnes as the passenger who had oc.
curied berth number 6, across the
aisle from Miss Hills berth, and said
he was the passenger who had invad
ed her berth. The porter testified he
had seen the fellows face in the berth
after being summoned by Miss Hill
for help and recognized Barnes as
that party.
What Groves Said.
Conductor Groves testified this fore
noon that Barnes is the young WON
ans assailant. 1t was Conductor
Groves who made the secret trip tc
Dubuque, Ia, accompanied by a de
tective and identified Barnes before
his arrest as the man wanted. He
| later identified him in the Anderson
Jail following his arrest as the party
who had occupied berth number 6
The conductor testified to having &C
cused Barnes of the escapade the mex
morning as the train was going into
the Chicago union station, but the
passenger pretended to not know any
thing about what occurred. Immedi
ately following the arrest Barnes de
declared that a great mistake hat
on Panhandle train that night ant
said he would have no trouble il
showing he was in Dubuque, Ia, at tn,
time.
The state has shown that he was
passenger on the train and occupied
the same car in which the Chicago
college girl had secured her berth
Just what impression the evidence il
making on the jury is yet to be seen
but Barnes has had rather rough sled
ding today. Whether the defense will
be able to break down the testimon,
of the porter and sleeping car conduc
tor remains as yet to be seen.

.ENCAMPMENT FUND
RAISED TOMORROW
COMMITTEE Confident 1t Will
Be Raised Between
Noon and Midnight.

Upon the response of the business
and shop men of the city tomorrow,
between the hours of noon and mid
night. to the requests of the finance
committee for the G. A. r. encamp-
ment for funds, depends the success
and brilliancy of that event, which
will center the attention of the state
on Richmond on May II, IS, and 19.
A committee composed of 125 men
has been appointed and the business
and shop districts will be thoroughly
canvassed in order TO raise the desir.
ed $500. which will be necessary to
provide against any lowering of the
standard maintained by other cities
which have held encampments.
Members of the finance committee
as well as those of the executive com
mittee, which is in charge of all ar.
rangements expressed themselves as
confident that $500 would be raised
A large degree of interest and enthu
siasm, they say, seems to have been
stimulated among t0e CltiZc0S Dt an
ticipation of the extraordinary event
in the Quaker City. and the committee
members believe this sentiment will
open the purse strings of the business
and shop men.
Headquarters will be established by
the finance committee in the office oil
the Western Union Telegraph com
pany, at the corner of Ninth and Main
streets, and voluntary donations may
be made there during the afternoon
and evening. A compilation of the re
ports of the committeeman. which will
be submitted at headquarters before
6 O'Clock, will show any person who
has been missed in the canvass. and
he will be visited by special com
mitteman during the evening.
Final land definite decision tina,
there shall be no deficit has been
made by the committee and only what.
ever funds are raised will be spent
This means that If less than $500 is
secured the program will have to be
cut accordingly.

TO ASK NO FUNDS
FOR MEMORIAL DAY
The Sons Of Veterans Have
Enough Money to Car
ry Out Program.

With the naming of the committee
chairmen to take charge of the ar
rangements for the various features,
plans for the Memorial day exercises
to be held in Rihcmond were gotten
under way at the meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Sons of Vet
Grams, having the affair in charge, at
the Commercial club rooms yesterday
afternoon. Other members of the
committees who will assist in the
work will be named from the G. A.
r. and the Woman's Relief Corps.
Probably the most important fea-
ture of the committee meeting was a
decision not to solicit the business
men of the city this year for funds to
defray the expense of the celebration
This was decided upon in order that
the work of the finance committee of
the G. A. r. encampments in raising
money for that event would not be
interfered with. A small surplus has
resulted from the donations of the
merchants in the last few years and
the committee believe there is enough
in the treasury to meet the expense.
The exercises will be similar to those
of former years, and it is estimated
they will require an expenditure of
about $l25.
Tentative plans call for the decora-
tion of the graves of the Old soldiers
with flowers to be furnished by the
school children. and the firing of sa.
lutes in the Cemetaries by the Span.
ish-American war veterans to take
place in the morning. Early in the af-
ternoon a short parade of the veterans
will be held. ending at the Coliseum
where the remaining exercises will be
held. There will be speeches by sever
al prominent local and out-of-town men
music by the city band. recitations
and drills by school, children.
1t is hoped by the committee &c
make the celebration as pretentious
and of the same high standard as in
former years, and there is every in
dication that its hopes will be realiz
! ed.

man of the organization committee

There was a discussion of long hat

cials this morning. and II may be that
council will be asked to pass an ordin-
ance to regulate the length Of hat pins
as was done In indianapolis.
Women of the city. it is thought,
would not be tickled to death over the
hat pin ordinance. Orc prominent so
ciety woman said this morning:
"Hat pins are of great convenience
when man sits too close to you in a
street car. which happens occasional
ly. You just give little nod of your

from West Fifth street to the Center
Wayne township line. There is a de-
cided aversion to the company's pc
tition to be allowed to use the center
of the highway as far west as East
haven avenue to the western end of
the improvement, because of the in
creased cost to the tax payers of
Wayne township. The company OBJ
jects to moving it's tracks outside of
the south curb line. on that part of the
improvement which is outside of the
city because of the cost.
The county commissioners made
personal inspection of the improve.

their own minds what action should
be taken Should the commissioners
decide that the company must OBJ
serve the original specifications for
the improvement, it is probable the
company would attempt to enjoin the
commissioners from carrying out the
order while on the other hand it is
likely proceedings of a similar sort
would be attempted were the specifi

A WIFE DESERTER
IS GIVEN A FINE
Majority of Jurors in Coun-
tvs First Case of Kind,
FavoredAeqtaittal.

After two and half hours delibera-
ton on Wednesday afternoon. the Jury
of the Wayne circuit court returned a
verdict of guilty against Chalmers
Penny of this city and assessed fine
of $35 and costs, amounting altogeth-
er to approximately SIS for deserting
his wife, Achsah Penny in December
1908.
The stubborness of one juror, ac-
cording to a member of the jury. al
most resulted in a disagreement. The
eleven who had voted to acquit the
accused of the charge, compromised
the case in the jury room with this
lone man by a finding of guilty and
the assessment of nominal fine,
rather than disagree, the juror stated.
The first ballot favored acquittal, the
vote standing 9 to 3, it is understood
Penny. who made it plain that he
would not live with his wife again,
saying he preferred the penitentiary,
to resumption of his marital relations,
was satisfied with the verdict and
stayed the fine. Had the judgment of
the jury been more severe. new trial
would have been asked and no doubt
granted. according TO statement of
Judge Fox Wednesday.
