Fiveof the suspe~ts arrested and taken to Jeffer- sonvillo two weeks hgo were rightly sus- pected. but it was not through them that the heinous criminals were exposed, Last Saturday tho grand jury ordered the of James Stone, the man who came to tan house early Tuesday morning and first discovered the terrible tragedy. His arrest was caused through his own wife, who appeared before the grand jury and tes tified that Stone arose in the night and com- plained of a violent toothache, and that he was going to a dentist to have it extracted ; that ne did not return until a late hour, and then, being covered with biood, he asked for a chaunge of clothing; that Stone main- tained that the blood on his clothes was caused by the bleoding of his tooth. On in- quiry it was found that no doctor or dentist hnd " extractod a tooth from Stone. This wus deemed strong evidence, espociaily when coming from the man's wife. As s00n as Stone was brought to town tho grand jury went to work to obtain a con- fession from him. At first he strendously denied everything, but being assured thad clemency would be guaranteed to him if he made a confession, he at midnight vielded to their overtures. He told his story about as follows: Knowing that Mrs. Wrattan kept a groat deal of money about the house, Gradison Cosby, & notorious characterin this county, planucd a robbery. A gang of seven por- sons that formed a sort of society for rob- beries and general hollishness, was notified of his vlan. Their naunes are Gradison Cosby, Lon Williams, Martin Yarber, of this city; Wilham Kays of Pilre county; John ‘W. White, Gipp Clark and Jam ‘The plan was that Yarber and Clark should get into the house and commit the robbery, while the others were to stand guard. At the time when tho robbery was to be com- mitted, Cosby and Stone had not arrived, Cosby being in tho city Monday evening, and was so drunk that he got past going, and did not reach the house at all, but Stone arrived after the murders had been com- mitted, and because he was late the other conspirators wallowed him 1 the blood of the victims, and in that condition permitted him to go home, and that was the nail that fastencd down the lid of their coffins, They could not f acent of money. As Stone did not arrive until the six murders were committed, he does not know why they killed the Wrattan family. All the criminals were arrested and taken t Jeffersouville last night. Williams and Kays were already in Jeffersonville prison. Brown, another suspect, who was taken to Jeffersonville, has no connection with the tragedy and will be released. "h itement toda more intense than . Woe to the murdérers if a Davis county delegation can lay hands on them. The crime was committed September 19 last, and is the most horrible that evor oc- curred in southern Jndiana. Dillard Den- son Wrattan, his,wife, mother and three children were murdéted on'that night in the most cruel and barbarods way. The Wrattans rsided about nine miles from this city in Harrison township. They were well-to-do farmers.” The husband was down with typhoi¥’ féyer, but must have been asleep when- the- horrible deed was committed, for he Iay orshis buck, his hand ¢ folded across his breast, ' with three ugly gashes in his forabead. = Mr. Wrattan's mother. aged 61, a3 evidently the first killed.

Ethel, 4 girl 11 years <old, showed ' signs of life, though she hadher skuit broken in two places. Shedid not regain-consciousness, however, and died the following day. The motive for the' murder was probably money, as it was known' that Mr. Wrattan's mother had a greatdealof it concealed about the house. Old Mrs. Wrattan had received a pension ever since she was a widow, just after the war, and all this money was sup- posed to have been secreted about the house. The drawers of she burean were ransacked and every place where the money was likely to be found had been disturbed. e HAD THE KNOT TIED TWIC Poculiar Position In Which an Iowa Couple Was Placed.

Evangelist Leyden of Boston addressed a large audience at Exposition hall last night, having for his subject the Roman Catholic church and, what he called “its dangerous influence on American fastitution The speaker operied his lecture with a bricf history of the cstablishment of the public school systom in this country, tracing it up to the time “when the opvosition of the Church of Rome was first niade manifost,” after which he drifted into a goneral talk on the subject of Romanism. After opening his lecture with extensive remarks on the public school system he spoke, in part, as follows: Kvangelist Leyden's Tdea. “Has not the Catholic church had all advantages given to any other denomina- tion? Catholics find fault with our public school system and other institutions—they are trying to undermine them and substitute a system of education that will make Cath- olics and ruin American institutions. We hiave peen catled cranks—but it takes a crank to turn things, and we - turned the crank of truth on Boston. All denomina- tlons were ropresented. We were present, and exhibited {ndulgences which had been purchased from the church of Rome—ana here they are. ' They claim vhat indulgences fone has enough the ay that Martin Luther was kicked out of the Roman Catholic Church tor doing something wrong. If everybody connccted with the church were kicked out, for deing something wrong, there would be few left on the inside “We believe that the mother should have the right tosay who shall teach her children, and the result has been that suffrage has been granted to the women of Massachusetts 1n school matters, In qualifying, at least 12 per cent of the Roman Catholic women, who hoped to offset the Protestant vote, failed utterly, being unable to read or write. “What does the Roman Catholic church teach? When 1 was a chila I attended a Catholic parochial school. We were taught 1 give ten prayers to the Virgin Mary and one to God, On this rosary aro fifty-three prayers to the Virgin., Catholics may be seen every Sunday morning going to mass in full force. Why do they go! They aro taught that if they don’t £o to mass thoy'll go to hell, and they prefer mass—after at- tending which many of the male portion hasten to the nearest ramshop. Wants All the Priests Arrosted. T hope to seo the day when every Roman Catholic priest in the land may be~ arrestea for obtainiug money under false pretonses, in granting absolution at a price. “Lel me read what the Church of Rome has to say of the eucharist: ‘The Catholic believes that Christ is really present in the bread and wine of the communion; the Pro- testant belioves only in the presence of the -pirit.’ ¢hallenge any Catholic here present to deny that he is not taught to believo that this bit of cous ted bread I hold in my hand is Christ, body, blood and soul. You are bowing down to an idol made by n.an. You are eating your God. You Roman Catholios, in this free, ealightened land, make your God out of flour and water, bow down o it and worship it, and then de- vour it, Jhinese and Hottentots have equal rights th all others in.the United States, but I liold that nov one doilar of vpublic money should be devoted to the dissemination of Catholicism or any other religion through the medium of the schools of this land, Alleged Foar of the Pope. “The pope dare not show himself in the streets of Rome without a heavy guard— possibly for the reason that he fears the l|l:lli.'\ s might hug their dear holy father to death. +Out of 70,000,000 Ttalians, according to a census tuken just after the unification of y. 000,000 could not read or write, That'is how the pope educated Italy. . The same conditions obtain in Brazil and Mexico. hould the United State sept a 8 tem of education that has been proven such ismal ure in other countries? When Ilefs the Church of Rome I left wuse 1 had my eyesopened. A Protestant friend called my attention to a pope-en- dorsed version of the scriptuves in which it s set forth that a bishop should be mar- ried. It was an eye-cpener, as were several other matters to which he called my atten- tion.” American Nchoots Eulogized. The spoaker then told of his efforts to break away from Catholicism, and of his flual emancipation, eulogizing the American public schiool as the great medium of edu tion and the teacher of freedom from r ligious superstition. He said that all the blessings that Cathol njoy in this coun- try are due to Protestantism, In corclusion the lecturer si should be placed in office in this ivides his allegiance between “No man land who his country No man can be true w his wifo and at the same time love another woman, Neither cana man be true to pub- lic trust ana to the pope at the same time. May God help us to maintain the public schools of this Jund, God bless them and keep thent up.” Mr. Loyden then called upon all loyal Americans to uphold Americau institutions, particularly the public schools, and to battle Agaiust every effort of the Romun Catholic church to increase its power in this country. This afternoon at3 o'clock Mr. Leyden will deliver a lecture for *women only,” and this evening he will give a lecture *for men only™ on the “secrets of the confessional.” YESTERDAY AT THE FAIR, Visitors Take Advautage of Fin to see the Sights CuicAGo, Oct, 22.—The attendance at the fair during the past week was less by sev- eral thousand than that of the preceding week.

Valuable horses and cattle, estimated to be worth 810,000, have been killed in the Ambraw bottoms of Illinois during the last month. The mystery surround- ing their death was cleared last wook when David Tucker of Bourbon town- ship, Douglas county, killed a monster wild cat eight miles north of Oakland. When the cat was first seen by Tucker the description he gave of it made it ap- pear so large that the narrator was set down as a victim of paresis, and his neighbors looked sympathizingly upon him. With a determination to save his reputation he made up hismind to secure the eat at all hazards. Armed with a shotgun he started out to find the ani- mal’s lair, and was, after a great deal of labor, successful in locating it in a snug hole in a clifl. As Tucker was cavefully }vh-kinz his way along the rocks he ound himself ‘suddenly face to faco with the eat, which secmoed as big as a lion, as it crouched only ten feot from the hunte Tucker threw his gun forward and fived, the charge striking the cat in the shoulder. The maddened animal sprang into the air and landed on top of Tucker, almost knocking him down with the force of the blow. Then ensued & hard struggle. Tucker is a wi muscular man, and as the animal was disabled by the charge of buckshot he was able to prevent it from tearing him by choking it with one hand and holding its injured paw fast with the other. Round and round they struggled until the wildeat's fury began to abate, when Tucker, by a violent effort, man- aged to throw the boast from him, and snatching up his gun, fired the remain- ing chargo into the animal's brain as it started to renew the attack. Leaving the animal in its death struggles Tucker hastened home to make an examination of his own injuries, which, strange tore- late, wore, except three or four pretty deep scratches and the loss of a suit of clothos, quitetriting. Later in the day, Tuckoar, with the assistance of a neigh- bor, brought the dead cat home, where it was by actual measurement found to be five feet three and one-half inches in length from tip to tip. gl Fright Caused Her Death, SANTA FE, N. oL, Oct.
