FOUND GUILTY OF MANSLAUGHTER
Bedford, Ind., November 28-After being out for an hour, the jury in the Jud
(consider Judd a spelling variant) Thompson murder case returned a verdict
of guilty of manslaughter, sentencing Thompson to five years' imprisonment.
The case came here from Orange County. On a former trial in this city, the
jury failed to agree, eight standing for conviction and four for acquittal.
Thompson was indicted for killing George Leonard at West Baden Springs in
July 1894. The defendant claimed that the shooting was done in
self-defense.

SOME FAMOUS CONVICTS WHO WERE TRANSFERRED TODAY
Jeffersonville, Ind., April 12-Of the life time men sent to Michigan City
today, two are particularly interesting owing to the length of time they
have been confined inside the prison walls. They are Alexander Fleetwood
and Alfred Jones. The first-named has been in prison 23 years lacking a few
days and the latter has been in 22 year last Saturday. Alexander Fleetwood
was born in 1857 in Jackson County. When he was about 15 years old he and
his brother were arrested and charged with the murder of John Hines of Salt
Creek Township. He was murdered during a fight with a crowd of boys of
which the Fleetwood boys were said to form a part. Alexander Fleetwood
denies that he was present. Both boys were convicted and were sentenced to
imprisonment for life. The brother died in July 1874 and on his deathbed
made a statement in which he avowed that his brother had nothing to do with
the killing of Hines. Fleetwood has had petitions for a commutation of
sentence before many governors, but no hope of a pardon has been held out to
him.
Locked up at 15 years of age, he is now nearly 40 years old. In all worldly
knowledge, he is as simple as a boy of 15. Only recently, under the
administration of Mr. Hert, has he learned to read. Since his imprisonment,
his parents and many of his relatives have died, but he seems to find hope
in the fact that he has a sister still living in Indianapolis. When first
imprisoned, he was put to making car wheels; he spent 5 years in the foundry
and is employed in the machine shop. In all his long years of imprisonment
he has never been reported for disobeying the rules of misconduct in any
way. He says, "Thousands of men have come and served sentences and gone
since I have been here. The whole place has been emptied of the prisoners
and officers I have known, time and time again."
The second oldest man in point of service is Alfred Jones.
