The Judges nominated by Judge Kllla.are Us follows: Henry Paul-tin, of the Grant Circuit court; Charles K.

ISagot, of the Madison Circuit court, and Henry C. Fox, of Iho Wayne Circuit court. The nomination as made hy Judge Kill were a surprise to many ax it wa generally believed that Judge James J. Moran, of the Jay Circuit court would he one of the three men named. The dry forces declared last evening that they wore diKHallMfled with, the selections of Judge Ellin.

Th dry contend that It has lieen the customary practice, and, until only a few years ago, the law, that In caws where a change of Judge was asked the Judge wan selected from one of the adjoining counties. They point out that the Judge In all the surrounding counties were available and they cay the notion or court tn Hppolntlnig Judge Kog in Without precedent, although they do not deny the legality of the menu. They point out that Judge of Henry county. Judge F.n-sle of Itandolph comity. Judge of Jay county and Judge Hturglg of Hlackford county, all Jn adjoining counties, could have been legally appointed.

The one remaining it omV.laJly appointed the magistrate to try th case, a la generally believed that Judge Bagot will be named.

A new light came over the situation last evening when It wus Intimated by some that a change of venue from the county nrtght lie taken by the ilrys. Thj Is their only rceourae left. If they should not deslro to try the cajw before the indue aelocted, a motion for a change of venue ciluld hen be filed and the cases could be shifted to another enmity, if the judge apKlnte1 would grant the change. This action looked upon as wholly Improbable hy many although there was a minor in dry circles last night that such a move, would be taken. Srintion In Two lay.

It is probable that both sides will have made their choice by this evening and it is thought the ap pointment of the presiding Judge will have been made by the time court adjourn this evening, as nearly everybody Is anxious to have the issue settled soon, A bitter animosity has sprung up between the attorneys and yesterday many sarcastic remarks were shot across the court room by the laywers of oppoMie sides.

Officer Maris was Informed that Clark went to his home In a surly mood Friday and after abusing Mrs. Clark struck lier several times. Of ficer Marrs was investigating the case and unking questions of Clark's daughters when i l.irn interrupted their talk and threatened to strike the daughter If the latter gave any Information, II was said. You don't think I would sit here and permit anything like that, do you?" said Marrs, and continued to ask questions.

As the wife would file no affidavits Hgatnxt her unruly husband, nHlcer Miirrs did so. Clark has two daugh ters slid a son. When he struck his wife Krlday one of the daughters en deavored to Interfere and In turn received a blow which caused her to remain III the remainder of the day.

ASSAILANTS ASK FREEDOM THERE IS OPPOSITION Voung Men Accused of Holding l'p and Beating David Stewart, Muncie Merchant, Hopeful of Release.

Although no official action has yet been taken to suspend the sentences given them it Is understood Oscar McKim and "Nig" McCarty, the two young men convicted In the Circuit court several weeks ago of having held up and robbed David Stewart, the well known restaurant man, feel contldent they will not have to serve another term in the Jefferaonville reformatory. It is understood that both convicted men have informed their friends that arrangements have been made whereby the sentence imposed upon them will be suspended pending their good behavior and it ia understood the two boya had hoped to have been arraigned in the Circuit court yester day afternoon to have their penlten tiary sentences suspended. Any aution that may be taken rests entirely in the hands of Judge Ellis and that magistrate has not intimated what may be done. Home days ago Judge Kills said that he was on the attorneys for tho de fondants to file their motions for a new trial which privilege they asked when the verdict of the jury was re turned There are many who are opposed to the young men's being released, however. The attack made upon Mr.

Stewart was oni great brutality. While the well known man was vn his way home at an early hour In the morning, carrying the day's receipts of his restaurant, he was held up by two men near the Methodist Protestant church on East Jackion street. In the struggle that eneued Mr. Stewart was terribly beaten md ior several nays mere was doubt as to whether he would recover. Mr.

Identllied his assailants as McKim and McCarty, both of whom had been in his place of a short time before he for home. After their arrest both men djenied their guilt and in their separate trials claimed thev wer home at the time of the hold'tip. Th', evidence against them, however, was convicting, but they were aentenceil to tile JcfTersonvillc reformatory uv the Jury.
