While feeling more encouraged to hope for his recovery, tbe attending surgeons are not at ail confident of such a result Everything now depends upon the extent ut the infldrnrnatiou. If this can be kept i reasonable limits recovery is probable.

Thomas, the man that did the shoot ing, is still coutined closely in the jail, iio one being allowed to see him except the officers, his attorney and triends. TUOilAS' BECOKD. John Thomas, the man who did the shooting, has long been recognized as a dangerous character. He has fre quently figured in the police courts, being calli upon to answer to charges from, simple drunkenness to wife beating. He has been guilty of more serious offenses, but has escaped punishment for them.

His record shows him to be a thoroughly bad man. He has been a hard drinker since he came to Decatur. This made his naturally morose and sullen disposition worse, and haa led him finally within the shadow of the gallows. He first appeared as a wife beater about ten years ago. The case was a very aggravated one, and at the trial before a police magistrate he was naed ana costs.

His wife appeared in court with net face badly disfigured, but though she bad suffered so much at Thomas' hands readily advanced the money necessary to secure his liberty. About the same time he made an attempt to kill Philip Buebsamen, samen then kept a saloon Peddecord Burrows' bank, where Kogau's barter shop now is. Thomas entered the saloon one day and called a drink of whiskey. Acting under instructions from Mrs. Thomas, Ruebsamen refused to let him have it.

After delivering himself of a tirade of abuse Thomas left the saloon and to Mueller's gun shop, where he purchased a revolver. Loading it he returned to the saloon with the avowed intention of killing Buebsamen. As he re-entered the saloon Ruebsameu had liis back turned to him. Thomas advanced un him with his revolver a but the threatened tragedy was prevented by the bartender who himself a revolver and called to Thomas to stop. Finding himself covered by the b.irtender's weapon tie pelled him to pay for the varnish.

Mye then went to Brenneman's saloon Thomas -followed and tried to rene the quarrel. Brenueman, who knew his disposition, ordered him out. left, threatening and cursing as usua walked over to John Blenz' meat mar ket, which was then in a building on the site of the new Haworth block and stole a large butcher knife. Arm td with that he started to the saloon but changed his purpose on being tulc on the way that Brenueman was wait ma for him with a revolver. Othe.

cases of like character might be relatf. ed, but the above are sufficient to fitly illustrate tba character of the man. i The record is -i bad one, and wil have its effect when tbe case for which Thomas is now in before the courts for trial. The toils are tightening around him It was staled yesterday that de tenae would probably proceed upon the theory that the shooting 01 Downing wasjustih'able. This theory was probable because ot the statements of the brick masou "Boxy," to the effect that Downing had a a revolver upon Thomnt nf lore tbe latter fired.

These suit mtjuts were flatly contradicted by witnesses of the shooting, but wh.it little weight they bod, was dentioyed, yesterday by James Thomas, the butch- ur, who declared Boxy was on the pavement in front of the saloon when I he shooting occurred and could not have seen what occurred within. James Thomas is the man whom John Thomas intended to kill when he went into Do-wning's saloon. Although they bear the same name they are not related. As the case now stands it is not clear how Thomas can be acquitted. It seems to be merely a question as to the severity of his punishment.

If Downing dies, this may be banging, if he lives, a penitentiary sentence is the limit. Any way the prospect tbe prisoner is not encouraging. Grand Army Convention. The Central Illinois District Association of theG. A.

A. Carpenter, the Man Magpeeted. Saturday morning 0. A. ter, a grain dealer of Lincoln, was arrested on charge of being the murder er of Miss Zura Burns.

Tbe evidence upon which he was arrested is wholly circumstantial, and yet its net work is being woven about him very tight. The principal poinis are about as t'ol lows: Miss Burns was employed as a domestic ia the Carpenter household. He raised her wages $1 pur week and cautioned her not to mention it. Her father alleges that CARPENTEB WROTE LETTERS to the girl. This is supported by the evidence of Mrs.

Fannie Carpenter, of Decatur, who testified before the ury at Lincoln Friday night. This witness says that she was intimate with Miss Burns and had entertained ler in Decatur last August. She sajs Zura sent several letters to Caw penter, a sentence in one reading "I AM TAKING YOfB MEDICINE." She also said that two unsigned let- ers containing money were received jy Zura, and she was certain that' penter wrote them. The letters spoke an undue intimacy existing between he pair, MORE DAMAGING EVIDENCE, iowever, is found in the story told by Mrs. Dengler, living near Lincoln, 'his woman was very intimate with Zura, and she has finally confessed to luch that is damaging to Carpenter, he says that prior to August last, buggy whip, kilting her instantly, and that, then to cover up the crime, he put her out by ttie road side and cut her throat.

Thia is the conclusion which ihoae IIDC i i i i acquainted with i iinnii-tiiatwiy form. Ho wever.aa above oiated, there is givdua for believing that the murder did not occur in a It is not yet by any means proved that Car penter is the murderer, although most of the evidence already produced points in that direction, DUKES INNOCENT. On Sunday the remains of Zura Burns were consigned to the grave at St. Elmo, Vandalia, and her betrothed, Thomas Dukes, was a mourner at the grave. Dukes denies that he has ever avoided the officers of the law, and conclusive evidence has been collected to prove that he is guiltless of the crime.

investigation at Kewa'na, has revealed the facts That Thos. Dukes attended church at Kewanna, Sunday afternoon, October 14th, that he was in company of a Mies Freal at Kewannr. until 11 o'clock that night, Jb.e night that Zura Burns was murdered, and that he reached home by midnight. This is substantiated by very many residents at Kewanns, and it of ourse thoroughly establishes Dukes' innocence. CARPENTER PROBABLY The chain of circumstantial evidence Carpenter has not been broken tbe least, aad he is DOW commenly to be guilty! by the people of gave in and was induced to leave.

He was never arrested for tne offense. Two or three yeais later he got into a dilliculty with a man named William Lake, whom he came near killing. Lake was his stepson. The affray out of an attempt upon the part of Thomas to wuiu his wife. Lake interfered, whereupon Thomas a dirk and thrust, i i i side.

Thomas again escaped punishment Lake was run out of town, and the case never reaehed the courts. Emboldened by the neglect of the authorities to interfere with him, Thomas continued on his course, varying the monotony of drunkenness and wife-beating, with occasional street-fights. The next man whom he attempted to kill, was Louis of Steinbach Dieckhoff, tno East Main street saloon keepers. Thomas filtered the saloon oiia night and wanted v. Only a short time before Alio.

I mas had called at the saloon, and the propuutors against selling her husband liquor, and in obedi- anoe to this Steinbach refused him.

Money or subscrip- ed to go behind couuter. Steinbach picked up a revolver, which was lying convenient, and called out with his characteristic coolness, ''Hold on there or I'll ahoot out of you." Tho revolver bod the desired effect, and Thomas left cursing and threatening trouble. A more recent case was his trouble with 1), W. Jones, another saloon kcepoi. This also was caused by his being refused 1'quor.

He entered the saloon very much intoxicated. Pailing to get the liquor, he stood at the bar muttering and threatening Jones' life. Jones finally ordered niaa out. Thomas then drew his ever-ready knife, but Jones was on baud with an ice pick and knocked him down. He then picked him up and threw him out upon the pavement.

Thomas pioksd himself up and made a rush for ttie door, but was prevented from re-entering. He then paraded in front of the saloon, brandishing his knile and making extravagant throats.

He is not confused by any (juestions which are asked of him, but remains reticent moat of the time be bause of the advice of his attorneys. He refuses to be interviewed, but he expresses the belief that he cati establish his innocence.

The theory'of the defense appears to be that the detec lives have the' wrong man, that Dukes, tbe young man who was engaged to the girl, is more likely to be the murderer, that the murder occurred most bly at 12 o'clock Sunday night, and that, i a that case, Carpenter can prove an alibi. He has always bad a good reputation. He is married and has a family, and those who know him best do not believe that he could have been guilty of such a crime. THE DUKES CLUE. The reasons assigned for suspi cloning Dukes are given in the following claims: First, that Dukes had long been engaged to mary the girl, but had kept postponing the marriage from na assignable cause.

Second, that though usually of a jolly disposition, he has been gloomy and despondent for the past three months, and, when questioned linooln. There is much of course, that is lacking to make the evidence complete, and it may be set down tor a fact that if nothing new develops, he will be acquitted. Carpenter is as reticent as ever, and allows no one to see him excepting hia family, his attorneys and his business partner; He said to the pastor of the church to which he belonged, "I am glad tLat my friends believe me innocent as I am." He appears to be cheerful, and speaks and acts naturally. A VEKY DAMAGING. CIEOCM8TANCE, as hia friends think, consists in the fact that has not or will not either deny or affirm that he ever had a correspondence with the murdered girl.

His business partner aays that Carpenter views his arrest as the result of unfortunate circumstances, and that he has no fear of the consequences, HIS ATTORNEYS, it appears, are already on the defensive. They say that the burden of proof will be on the state, and that Carpenter is to bo considered innocent until he is proved to be guilty. They also decline to say anything with regard to the correspondence existing the accused and the murdered girl. A Bad uuimty. Seventy indictments were found by the grand jury of Champaign county up to Monday.

They are classified as follows: Burglary larceny, 14; selling liquor to minors, 10; forgery, uttering forged notes, selling liquois, larceny, assault and baU tery, selling liquors to inebriates, assault with intent to murder, assault with intent to do bodily injury, keeping house of ill fame, false pretenses one; asiiult with 'intent to commit rape, one; burglary, one; horse stealing, one; embezzlement, one; per ury, one. a revolver. Returning to J. W. Tyler's harness shop, he laid in wait for Jones.

Jones, however, beard of his intentions, and sent word to Marshal flewes. The result was, that Thomas was arrested, tried and fined for carrying concealed weapons. He then had Jones arrested on a charge of assault and battery, bat case never came to tnal. Among the many others who have been made the objects of Thomas' wrath, is D. W.

Brenneman. One evening last summer, Thomas got into an altercation in the park i Will Myer the painter, and knocked him down.

It's a cold day when the Wabaah gets'behind the roads in the matter of stock shipping. as to the cause, he said that something awful was going to happen in Lincoln, 111., this fall. Third, when the officers sought him as a witness, he was conn in shrubbery, near his father's house, and was reticent when he was questioned on the matter of the girl's deatk.

Fourth, that he claimed to have letters from the girl which he "would not show for the woi-ld." Fifth, that in the letters which he did show, the girl wrote complaining that he kept postponing their marriage. Sixth, that he admitted that he knew she was en- ciente. Seventh, that he said that he "would not go to Lincoln for the whole state of Indiana." Eighth, that he was absent from his home for days and that it was during that time that the murder was committed. Some of these reasons might form ground for suspicion, but must of them can be satisfactorily explained. Moreover, Dukes is said to be a verdant type and one who would be tbe last to think of murdering the girl.

The authorities will probably keep him in strict siire- villunce until more evidence is produced, A SCRAP OF EVIDENCE against Carpenter, not given above consists in his book-keeper's testimony that Zura came to the office on Saturday and enquired for Carpenter. She was ushered into his private office where she remained for more than an hour. There is of course much evidence amassed which will cot stand the tost of a court of law, and it is difficult to tell what may be tbe outcome. However, in the light of the evidence which has been produced, it seems more than prubaole that ia the man wanted. There is no fear of mob FIXED FOB A STAY.

Carpenter has been provided at the jail with articles of comfort and convenience, and is evidently fixing for a Btay. His fami is as sphinx-like as Carpe nter himiielf, this being a part of the general defensive policy, CARPENTER'S REPUTATION has suffered no attack beyond that which comes of this case, If other things could be told of him, the stigtna of being suspicioned as a murderer would probably bring them to light. THE CORONER'S JURY. continued its labors, but of its inner working the press representatives have been unable to learn anything. This policy of secrecy has been adopted by the Lincoln officials because of the fact that the attorneys for the defense appear to be desirous of learning all the evidence possible, so as to know what theory of defense to adopt.

Mrs. Dengler, of Lincoln, has more damaging evidence against Carpenter. She says that she is positive that she saw Zura pass her house in a buggy Saturday evening with a man who looked like Carpenter. It was just dusk when they passed Mrs. Dukes'.

Zura had a quarrel at her house one time over Carpenter, If Mrs. Dukes wanted any coal or provisions, Carpenter supplied them. Kara at that time was living with Mrs. Dukes. Zura not only told Mrs.

Dengler that Carpenter was the father of her unborn child and had purchased her a pair of days before. It was written in ft small, cramped band, probably disguised in imitation of a female band. This establishes Carpenter's intimacy with the grl. Zura lold Mrs. ler th.it she thought a great deal of Mr.

Carpenter, aud that he bad treated her with great consideration. He bought bera fine Chicago, gave her money on several occasions, and when he would come home in the evening with oranges or anything of that kind, he would come through the kitchen and give Zura her choice drat. This establishes that Carpenter was intimate with the girl; that she enceinte; that shu was taking medicine with his knowledge. ANOTHER POINT which is not to be overlooked is to seen in the fact that when Zura Burns came to Lincoln a few days before her murder, she ca'me to see Carpenter. She saw him, and she saw privately no one else.

Carpenter acknowledged that she was at his office Saturday forenoon, but denied having seen her after that. It will be remembered that Zura left the hotel after 8 o'clock that evening aud was never seen publicly again until found murdered. Mrs, Dandy has testified that she saw O. A. Carpenter aud Zura Burns drive by her house in a buggy about 0 o'clock Saturday night.

The night was very bright and clear. She noticed the peculiar cloak worn by Miss Burns. It was a dolman trimmed with drab plush. Carpenter was away from home late on both Saturday and day evenings. His two daughters testified that he was out until some time between 10 and 11 o'clock on both Saturday and Sunday evenings.

Mis. Carpenter thought it was not so late that on either evening. Carpenter away from his house on Sunday nosn also. When Carpenter returned home about 5 p. be told Fred son, his stable boy, not to unhitch tbe horse, that he would want him that night.

That night Carponter was away from home until after 10 o'clock. This stable boy, who is about 14 years old, cannot be found. Carpenter bad been in the habit of going to see bis sick partner, Mortling, every Sunday afternoon, but did not call upon him that Sunday afternoon. He drove to Hartsburg very early Monday morning. When he returned, and saw a great crowd at the office, he was not moved by it.

When he had seen the corpse, he said thai he thought it was the body of Zura Burns, who had worked at his house, though be could not tell just when. His coolness caused general comment in a time of such great rxcitement. Additional force is lent to the circumstantial evidence by the fact that the round fracture ovev the girl's eye corresponds with the round end of Carpenter's loaded whip. YKSTEIIDAY'S EVIDENCE contained little that was The witnesses were Thos. Dukes, the affianced lover of the girl, hei father, her step-mother, and a boy named Ahrens, Dukes' story is tun same as he had already told to newspaper men.

Blood stains are said to have been found on tbe lines, foot rug, and whip of Carpenter's buggy.

To tbe naked eye it was not clear that the stains were of blood, but Dr. Sargont, of Lincoln, thought so after a microscopic examination. A scientific examination of tbe stains will be made at Chi-, cagoto definitely settle tbis question. There are circumstances wblcb go to show that the murder was sot mitted in a buggy, but if tbe stains are those of human blood, it will be difficult to combat the popular supposition that Carpenter bad tbe girl out riding on Saturday night, tbat he tried to ef want for anything. Carpenter, according to Mrs.

Dengler, seemed to have been the leading spirit the Dukes residence Christian Dengler, a coal miner, and Mrs. Dengler's husband, said that his wife had frequently spoken to him on the subject, aud led him to believe that Carpenter waa supporting Zura. These people seem to entertain little doubt that Carpenter did have earns! knowledge of his former servant-girl, and it is also said that he had been intimate with her sister, Mrs. Dukea, though he has never been suspected of being a man of that kind. His habits in life did not bear out this impression.

Yet the evidence ia convincing that he sustained some sort of relation to her, not aanotioned by propriety. TEE CASE IS STRENGTHENED by each new circumstance. Mrs. B. J.
