BEDFORD WEEKLY MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, SEPT. 7, 1900 The Militia Will Protect Thomasson And Gaines. Jeffersonville, Ind., September 3. – The ghost of Frank LENTZ has ceased to disturb Oliver THOMASSON, since he unburdened his mind by confession, and there is little that appears to annoy him. He sleeps soundly every night, and it is evident that his attorneys have given him some encouragement. GAINES, his confederate, is not exhibiting equal assurance. He is still nervous, and puts in much of his time watching trains on the Pennsylvania bridge. It is not definitely known when they will be taken to Bedford, but perhaps not for some time. Although the Lawrence Circuit Court convenes today, the grand jury will not be called until next Monday, and it may be several days after that before an indictment is returned. There are indications that a request will be made for a change of venue, and it is said to be absolutely certain that Governor Mount will call out at least one company of militia to protect the prisoners when they go to Bedford. There has been quiet investigation of the feeling in Lawrence county, and enough is known that it is not safe to take the prisoners back without guard.
