Cain Wins Indiana Capitol Engineer Appointment Decision
In Indiana, Michael Cain, a Democrat, is confirmed as state engineer after a judge rules the 1895 act invalid and that the 1897 law governs the governor’s appointing power. Gov. Marshall appointed Cain while Samuel Shutt had been named by the auditor and secretary of state. The ruling criticizes the secretary of state’s certification and notes governors and auditors since 1847 acted under the 1897 act. Also reported is the suicide of Jesse Fletcher of Indianapolis, a prominent businessman and former legislator, at Turtle Lake near Alpena Michigan, age about 62, with ties to Atlas Engine Works and various local interests.
