HISTORY OF KNOX COUNTY.
married here by Samuel R. Alexander, April 4, 1829, to Miss Margaret C. Duncan. He practiced at our bar for several years. He removed from here to Covington, Ind., and was elected from the Seventh District to the Twenty-third and Twenty-fourth Con- gresses. In 1843 he was elected United States senator, and served in that body until 1849. He was regarded (distinguished as the senate was during that period), as one of its most eloquent members. The death of Henry Clay was announced to the Sen- ate by the prearranged signal of the tolling of all the bells in the city, while Mr. Hannegan was addressing the Senate, who instantly left the subject he was discussing and referred to the death of the " great commander" in a speech that attracted the attention and praise of the entire country. After the expiration of his senatorial term he left the State and located at St. Louis to practice law, but soon after died broken-hearted, occasioned by the homicide of his brother-in-law under an insane impulse.
Samuel Judah was born in the city of New York in 1798. He came to Indiana and located at Merom, in Sullivan County. He very soon came to this place and commenced the law practice, and continued until his death. He was regarded as one of the best lawyers in the country, and was' often consulted in impor- tant- cases outside of this State. He was engaged in almost every important case that arose in this county during his long practice at our bar. He consequently accumulated documents and memoranda relating to causes that were disposed of in our court, which he received in his professional capacity and pre- served, many of which in all probability contain evidences which the parties concerned would not desire made public, and he made provision in his will that no Vincennes lawyer should be. permitted to examine them. He was the chief counsel employed by the Vincennes University in the long and tedious litigation to recover the township of land in Gibson County granted by the United States for its use. He first instituted a number of eject- ment suits in Gibson County to dispossess the grantees of the State who had purchased at the sales authorized by an act of the State Legislature for the benefit of the State University at Bloom- ington. These suits caused great excitement in Gibson County, and the attorneys of defendants stimulated it and advised mob

violence as the easiest way of getting rid of them. Mr. Judah was in great personal danger while in the county to attend to them. The excitement increased, and so many persons were involved that bloodshed would have resulted had not the State wisely prevented it by passing an act authorizing a suit to be brought against the State in the Marion County Circuit Court to try the title, and pledging the honor and faith of the State to abide the result. Mr. Judah brought the suit so authorized against the State, and dismissed the Gibson County suits. After a long and tedious litigation in the Marion Circuit Court, the Supreme Court of the State and the United States with varying results Mr. Judah was finally successful, and recovered the value of the land sold by the State. The State should, in accordance with her plighted faith and honor, have appropriated the money or issued her bonds to liquidate the amount recovered. But this was not done until some of the leading and influential members of the Legislature had tarnished their reputations by accepting a "quid pro quo" to cease their opposition, and support the bill authorizing the issue of State bonds to cancel the claim. Mr. Judah, as attorney for the university, received the bonds so issued by the State in satisfaction of the claim. He retained one-third of the amount he so received for his legal services and expenses incurred in procuring the passage of the bill through the Legislature. The trustees of the university then brought suit against him to recover these bonds. This suit was almost as long and notorious as the suit brought against the State. The ablest legal talent was employed. David McDonald and Asher F. Linder for the trustees, and John P. Asher and Mr. DeBruler for Mr. Judah. It developed in its progress through court legis- lative corruption and bribery. Mr. Judah was United States at- torney for Indiana under President Jackson, and served several times as a member of the Legislature from this county and was once speaker of the House. He died in this city April 24, 1869. Noble Judah, of Chicago; John M. Judah, of Indianapolis; and Samuel B. Judah, of this city, are his sons. The two former are leading and prominent attorneys in their respective cities.

nership they commenced the practice. Benjamin M. was admit- ted to this bar March 25, 1839. He was thoroughly educated in common law learning, and was as well versed in the principles and science of law as any one who ever practiced at this bar. He was not a fluent or eloquent speaker, but his strength lay in his knowledge of the law, and the plain and forcible manner in which he presented bis points. He was, like Mr. Judah, engaged in all cases of importance in our court while he practiced here. He had a very extensive and lucrative practice, and may be said to have had a monopoly of the collection business, which at that time was the cream of the lawyer's profits, all such business passing through their hands instead of the banks. In 1853 he was appointed district attorney for Indiana. He became a con- vert while here to the Catholic Church, and was a faithful and strict member thereof until his death. He removed in 1856 to Chicago and in partnership with Judge Gookins practiced law. His abilities secured him a lucrative practice. He came back here completely broken in health, and died in 1863.
William W. Carr was admitted to the bar of this court Octo- ber 2, 1843. He formed a partnership with Cyrus M. Allen and practiced several years with brilliant success. He was just of age when he came to the bar. He was well educated, having pur- sued both a classical and legal course of studies. He was a step- son of Judge John Moore, the first mayor of Vincennes. He was appointed by the court prosecuting attorney for the September term, 1845. During the exciting political election of 1844 he took a leading and prominent part on the Democratic side, and was a favorite speaker at all the mass meetings of that party in this section. He was a fluent and eloquent speaker and of fine personal appearance, with white flaxen hair that added to his looks. He was appointed by President Polk secretary of Oregon Territory, but held the position for only a short time and was com- pelled to resign in consequence of failing health. He died at the residence of Judge Moore of consumption in 1847.
Cyrus M. Allen was a native of Clarke County, Ky., and came to Indiana about 1838, and first located at Paoli, and afterward at Petersburg, but in 1843 removed here and commenced the practice and continued until his death. He was not a first-class

lawyer, so far as reading and learning were concerned, and his main forte was as an advocate. Whilst not an orator or even a pleasing or agreeable speaker, he possessed a certain suave and familiar address, which gained him favor with juries and rendered him a formidable opponent at the bar. He did not confine him- self to his profession, but was largely interested in contracts in building the Ohio & Mississippi Railroad and the Indianapolis & Vincennes Railroad and other roads. He represented this county twice in the State Legislature, and during the regular and special sessions of 1861 was speaker of the House. He was secretary of the Knox Insurance Company when it failed, and it required all his tact and skill to pacify the creditors of the concern who came to collect their claims. He was the Republican candidate for Congress in this district in 1864, and ran against Judge Niblack. They made a joint canvass of the district. He was only defeated by a majority of about 1,500 in a strong Democratic district and always claimed he would have been elected had not a "rebel raid" in Kentucky, just before the election, assisted Judge Niblack by preventing soldier friends from leaving the front and coming home to vote. He died in this city November 2, 1883.
THE BAR OF THE PRESENT TIME.
The following gentlemen now compose the Vincennes bar: Frederick W. Viehe, Henry S. Cauthorn, George G. Reily, Will- iam H. De Wolf, John M. Boyle, Smiley N. Chambers, Thomas R. Cobb, Orlando H. Cobb, William C. Johnson, William A. Cullop, George W. Shaw, Lewis C. Meyer, Benjamin M. Willoughby, William C. Niblack, James S. Pritchett, James P. L. Weems, Samuel W. Williams, Orlan F. Baker, John Wilhelm, Charles M. Wetzel, Charles G. McCord, John T. Goodman, Mason J. Niblack, John C. Adams, John S. Long, Frank Bloom, Curtis Smith and Edward Cooper.
The Vincennes bar of the present day maintains the reputa- tion it has borne in the past. It may appear invidious to dis- criminate, but without giving cause of offense on the part of the younger members we may give more than a passing notice to a few of the older ones.
Frederick W. Viehe was born in Westphalia (Prussia), Sep-

tember 2, 1832. He came to this country with his father's family in 1845, his father having procured for himself and family ex- patriation papers from the Prussian Government. He has resided in this country so long that he discovers nothing of a foreign ac- cent in his speech. He was admitted to this bar September 2, 1859. He is regarded as one of the ablest counselors in the State, and his opinion upon important questions of law is often sought by persons at a distance. He cannot be said to possess oratorical powers and rarely attempts anything like forensic display. In speech he is brief and concise, and presents his cases to court or jury in a forcible and convincing manner. He was appointed by the court prosecuting attorney at February term, 1870. He was city attorney of Vincennes from 1869 to 1871. He has represented this county in the Senate and House of the State Legislature and was elected by the Senate president pro tempore. He has a large and lucrative practice.
Thomas R. Cobb was born in Lawrence County, Ind., July 2, 1828. He studied law and commenced the practice at Bedford in 1853. In 1867 he removed from there to Vincennes, where he has since resided. He was actively engaged in the practice here and other portions of the circuit until 1876, when he was elected to Congress from this district. Mr. Cobb has manifested a decided preference for political work and has been a very successful can- didate for popular favor. He was a member of the State Senate for eight years, the Democratic candidate for presidential elector in 1868, and president of the Democratic State Convention in 1876. He has been re-elected to Congress four times, and at the expira- tion of his present term will have served in the House for ten con- secutive years. He is chairman of the Committee on Public Lands and has made a reputation throughout the country by his efforts in Congress to forfeit to the Government unearned grants of lands to railroad corporations. He has a fine personal appear- ance and is still active and vigorous.
· George G. Reily was born in Martin County, Ind., March 30, 1841 He came to Vincennes after the close of the war and com- menced the practice in partnership with James C. Denny. He has from the first controlled a full share of the practice and has been successful in the management of his cases. His strength at
202
HISTORY OF KNOX COUNTY.
the bar lies in his grasping the true state of the case and in his appreciating and measuring the weight and effect of evidence, and in the cross-examination of witnesses. He is a fluent, grace- ful and interesting speaker. He was a captain in the Fourteenth Regiment of Indiana Volunteers during the civil war, and served with honor until its close. He was the Republican candidate for Congress in this district in 1884, and received a very flattering vote. He has realized from his practice more than a competency and is in good financial circumstances-the fruit of his labors at the bar.
William H. De Wolf was born in Middleboro, Mass., Septem- ber 30, 1832, and when he came to Indiana, located at Petersburg, but removed to Vincennes in 1863, and commenced the practice of law in partnership with Judge Niblack. He is a safe and reliable lawyer and has a good practice. He is a pleasant speaker and is impressive in manner, never indulges in displays of fancy but deals in facts. He is uniformly polite and courteous to oppos- ing counsel and court, and is never rude or harsh with witnesses. He has confined himself strictly and closely to his profession and has not sought honors outside of its legitimate pursuits. He was appointed prosecuting attorney of the court for the October term 1866. He is a prominent Odd Fellow and has been Grand Master of the State.
John M. Boyle was born in the city, in March, 1837. He was educated in Danville, Ky. He is a grandson of John Boyle, the first chief justice of the courtof appeals of Kentucky. Hegraduated at the law department of the State University. He was admitted to this bar August 7, 1866. He has always been a student and has mastered the legal science by diligent application. He is generally regarded by the profession as a good judge of legal questions. He was elected city attorney of Vincennes in 1871, and has been re-elected successively to the present. When first elected he at once applied himself to the study of the particular branches of the law most likely to require his official attention, and is now the best posted of any member of the bar on corpora- tion law.
Orlan F. Baker was born in Paoli, Orange County, Ind., August 4, 1843. He was admitted to the bar August 18, 1863, and with the

exception of a few years' residence in Indianapolis, has continued in the practice of law in Vincennes. He possesses a quick and active mind, and can without much study or reflection form his opinion and theory of a case. He has gained his greatest repu- tation as an advocate. He is a fluent and graceful speaker and commands the choicest language to express his ideas. His fine delivery has gained for him the appellation of "the silver tongue." He represented this county in the House of the State Legislature, in 1867. He was also city attorney of Vincennes.
James S. Pritchett was born in Warrenton, Gibson Co., Ind., August 16, 1844. He was admitted to the bar February 17, 1862, and has practiced here ever since. He was elected city attorney of Vincennes for one year, and also a member of the common council of the city, and in 1873 was elected mayor of Vincennes. He has devoted most of his time to the study of criminal law and has acquired an extensive reputation as a criminal lawyer. He does not study a case or attempt to solve it from text books or adjudicated cases, but relies upon his knowledge of human nature and in its presentation in the best possible light to the compre- hension of a jury. He has been very successful in the defense of criminal cases and seems to be pleased when engaged in the defense of a criminal, prosecuted for homicide or other felony .*

UITE anumber of Revolutionary heroes settled at Vincennes after the close of that memorable struggle; among them were Benjamin Parke, Henry Vanderburg and Gen. W. Johnson. These men did good service in the Indian wars later. Al- most all the inhabitants capable of bearing arms were members of some militia company, and prepared for service at a moment's warning. The following is the list of effectives belonging to Capt. Pierre Gamelin's company: Paul Gamelin, captain; Chris- topher Wyant, ensign; Peter Thorne, sergeant; Fred Mehl and Jeremiah Meyer, sergeants; also, Richard Johnson, cadet; pri- vates-Robert Johnson, Joseph Cloud, Daniel Pea, John Loe, Godfrey Peters, John Murphy, John Lafferty, Frederick Barger, George Barger, Peter Barger, Frederick Middler, Ben Becker, Robert Day, Edward Shoebrook, John Westfall, Ed Johnson, Joshua Harbin, John Robbins, John Martin, Abe Westfall, James Walls, Thomas Jordan, Robert Smith, Daniel Smith, James Johnson, Teke Holiday, Michael Thorne, Solomon Thorne, Daniel Thorne, Charles Thorne, Abraham Barkman, Charles Barkman, John Rice Jones, Patrick Simpson, John Melmore, Frederick Lindsey, Mathew Dubbons, Hugh Dempsey, John Culbert, Robert Garavert and Isaac Carpenter.
In all the wars which have been waged in the United States since the organization of Knox County, which in any way affected the county, her military record has been honorable. From the time of the capture of Vincennes, February 24, 1779, by Col. Clark and his heroic band, to the close of the second war of inde- pendence. The men serving as militiamen in 1790 were each allowed 100 acres of land for their services. The following is a

These men and others did service in occasional "brushes" with the Indians till the general outbreak in 1811.
GEN. HARRISON AND THE INDIANS.
Complications with Great Britain doubtless had much to do in stirring up hostilities with the Indians. Early in 1811 the Indians grew so aggressive and intolerant, committing depreda- tions and murders, that Gen. Harrison sent a message to Tecum- seh, warning him of the danger of the course he was taking, and threatening him with arms in case he did not desist. The mes- sage of Harrison was politely received by Tecumseh, and in reply he agreed to visit Harrison at Vincennes in a few days. He arrived July 27, 1811, bringing with him a considerable force of Indians. This created alarm among the inhabitants. Harri- son had taken the precaution to have the militia armed and ready, about 750 in all; two companies of dragoons were near. Tecum- seh seeing the precautions taken by Harrison, professed friend- ship and agreed to mutual forgiveness. He then, with about twenty of his followers, started south, on a visit to the southern Indians. Harrison determined to forestall Tecumseh in his move- ments. He determined to erect a fort at the mouth of the Wabash,
206
HISTORY OF KNOX COUNTY.
and to break up the assemblage of Indians at the Prophet's town. For the latter purpose Col. Boyd's regiment was ordered from the falls of the Ohio to Vincennes. When Harrison was on the point of starting for Prophet's town, a delegation of chiefs ar- rived in Vincennes, on September 25, 1811, and held a conference with Gen. Harrison. In that conference the Indians protested against any evil intention on their part, and declared their will- ingness to comply with the wishes of the Government.
THE TIPPECANOE CAMPAIGN.
Gen. Harrison was not deceived by their false promises, and on the next day, September 26, he took up his line of march from Vincennes for Prophet's town. He kept near the river, and arrived near Terre Haute on October 3, where he built Fort Har- rison. On the night of the 11th a sentinel was wounded by the Indians. On the 28th Fort Harrison was finished, and, leaving a small garrison under Col. Miller, on the 29th he again moved forward. His army consisted of about 900 men, 270 of whom were mounted, and 250, under Col. Boyd, were regular troops. When within a half-mile of Prophetstown, a conference was opened with the Prophet. The Indians manifested surprise at Harrison's appearance among them with hostile intentions. It was mutually agreed, in words, that there should be no battle that night, and that another conference should take place the next morning. Harrison selected the best place possible for a camp, yet not a very desirable one. He selected a dry oak ridge, rising about ten feet above the marshy prairie toward the Indian town. In the rear was a small stream bordered with willow and brush- wood. Toward the left the ridge widened considerably, but to- ward the right it became narrower, and at the distance of 150 yards terminated abruptly. Two columns of infantry occupied the front and rear. One flank was filled by two companies of 120 men, mounted riflemen, under command of Maj .- Gen. Wells, of the Kentucky militia, and one by Spencer's company of 80 mounted riflemen. The front line was composed of one battalion of United States infantry, under Maj. Floyd. To the right of these were two companies of militia, and to the left one company. The rear line was composed of a battalion of United States dra-
207
HISTORY OF KNOX COUNTY.
goons under Capt. Bean, and four companies of militia under Lieut .- Col. Decker. Capt. Spencer's company formed an angle with Decker's men, on the left. Two troops of dragoons en- camped to the rear of the left flank, and Capt. Parke's company to the rear of the right flank. The men encamped in the order of battle, and slept on their arms. Gen. Harrison, knowing the cunning foe he had to deal with, was prepared for what his judg- ment foresaw would take place.
At 4 o'clock on the morning of November 7 the firing of a sentinel's gun announced the attack of the enemy. Gen. Harri- son had just risen; the men were quickly in line; the storm struck Capt. Barton's company of the Fourth Regiment and Capt. Gei- ger's mounted riflemen, who formed the left angle of the rear line; these men suffered severely. The morning was dark and cloudy; the camp fires of the Americans gave the Indians the ad- vantage of the light; these were quickly extinguished. Gen. Har- rison quickly mounted his horse and rode boldly into the thickest of the fight. Cook and Wentworth were ordered to the relief of Barton and Geiger. Bean, Snelling and Prescott held the center. Maj. Daviess was ordered to dislodge some Indians sheltered in a clump of trees a short distance away. The attempt was boldly made but with too small a force, and he was struck in the flanks by the enemy and compelled to fall back, and himself was mortally wounded. Capt. Snelling's company did the work attempted by Maj. Daviess. According to Gen. Harrison's policy the lines were kept entire till daylight, when a general charge along the whole line was made and the Indians driven in precip- itate flight. Harrison had 700 effective men and the Indians possibly more. Harrison lost 37 killed, 35 mortally wounded and 126 with lighter wounds. Among the officers killed were Da- viess, Spencer, Owen, Warrick, Randolph, Bean and White. The Indians left thirty-eight dead upon the field ; their exact loss is not known. This battle was effective in breaking up the Indian con- federacy. On the 11th the American Army returned to Vincennes, where the greater part was discharged.
The following is a roster of the officers and soldiers who went from Vincennes to Tippecanoe, together with the casualties: Luke Decker, lieutenant-colonel commanding; Noah Purcell, major;
