Cincinnati (OH) Daily Times, September 3, 1874, p. 1. JEFFERSONVILLE, IND. The Gardner Murder Case-Preliminary Examination of Clark and Lewis [Special Dispatch to the Daily Times] Jeffersonville, Indiana, September 3-The preliminary trial of Ezekiel Clark and Alex. Lewis is in progress at Henryville today. The evidence shows that Clark and Lewis were seen in conversation with Gardner at dark Saturday night; that Clark left town on Sunday at an early hour before the body of Gardner was found, going to his home eighteen miles north of Henryville. There he told the neighbors that a train had run over a man below Henryville the night before and cut off his leg. A rope, matching that which Gardner was tied to the track with, was found in a yard below the town. Over 50 witnesses are to be examined.
