Nearro Killed.
On Tuesday morning, December 24th
? Christmas Eye? about 10:30 o'clock
Sid Strickland was Bh?t and killed by
Henry Wright, both eolored. at the
latter's home om Spring street. There
was n? on? present at the killing mire
j the two participants and Henry imme
i diately sought the sheriff and gave
| himself up, claiming it to be an acci
dent. A cotoners inquest was held
that evening when it was found that
the wound was caused from a shot gun
loaded with No. 2 shot, taking effect
in the neck, causing: almost infttant
death. The evidence before the jury
was not sufficiently clear for them to
be'ieve the story of Henry so the cor
oner ordered that lie be held under a
$2000.00 justifiable bond to await the
next term of Franklin Superior Court.
Dynamiters Before Judge.
Indianapolis, Ind., Pec. 30. ? The
thirty-eight men convicted in dyna
mite conspiracy trials were brought be
fore Judge Anderson for sentence when
court convened today. All motions for
new trials were overruled by the judge.
Motions for arrest of jHdgmenta in be
half of aft the defendants were alio
overruled. District attorney Mi Her
then asked the court for judgments on
the verdicts. The imposing of sen-^
tences was delayed, as the judge indi-*
os ted that in some eases Jtbere wis
doubt as to the degree of guilt Turh
iaf to prisoners Judge Anderson said:
"It lit* betn more difficult than was
expected to arrive at the degree 'of
guilt in each of your cases. Have you
any thing to say why sentence should
not be passed upon you?" Then one
by one, the defendants stepped before
the judge's bench and replied to the
questions asked tbem. The court, in
his question*, indicated sympathy Tor
some of the men, and at one point de
clared pointedly that some of the de- >
fondants had not been properly de
fended. The judge's interrogation of
the prisoners showed an effort to clear
up the points of doubt which be had
about their guilt. In .several instances,
when the defendants started to make a
dramatic appeal, the judge sharply told
the men to take their seats, "You
know you are guilty" the court said.
The judge imposed the following
terms of imprisonment: Prank Ryan,
president of the Iron Workers Union,
seven years; -John Hutler, vice presi
dent, six years; Olaf Tveitmoe, secre
tary of the California building trades
council, six years; Eugene Clancy,
