from the gross neglect of Walter S. Pardee,
building inspector, George w. Orff, archi-
tect, and Charles r. Putnam, carpenter in
charge of work.
The inquest has lasted three
days and the jury's verdict
is rendered after a thorough and painstak-
ing investigation. Although nothing is
said as to the probable cause of the falling
of the building, it is understood that the
idea entertained is that the false or tenn
pOrary work, put up to support the floors
and roof during the removal of the wall
was faulty in construction and rested upon
an insecure foundation. Upon this view it
is likely that the jury consider Architect
Orff and Putnam, the carpenter in charge,
at fault. Inspector Pardee probably comes
in for his share of the blame because
he allowed the removal of the wall to go On
after he had refused to grant permit.
George A. Bracket, the owner of the build
ing, stands exonerated, it appearing that he
relied upon his architect and assistants,
not assuming any personal supervision of
the work. nor issuing specific directions as
to how the work should be performed.

PETTY CRIMINAL CASES.
Motions for New Trials and Contin.
Uance The Rule.


When Henry Roth. convicted of robbing
Charles Erickson, a Swede, of $50, last
winter, by forcing worthless watch upon
him i'll snide auction store on Bridge
square, and exacting $50 in return. partly
by force and partly by threats, came up for
sentence yesterday morning, Mr.. Woolley
and Mr.. Donahue. ROth's attorneys, moved
for new trial on the ground that an in
justice had been done Roth in convicting
him of robbery when he should have been
convicted, if convicted at all, of simple
fraud. They proposed to show that rob-
berry had not been committed, as Erickson
made no protest or cutlery at the time he
handed over the $50 for the watch. and that
he was satisfied until he was told that the
watch was almost worthless. County At
terney Davis opposed the motion on the
ground that Roth had been found guilty of
robbery on the testimony introduced. Judge
Young took the motion under advisement.
The case against NJ. Nuson, charged with
selling beer at Crystal Lake without
license, was tried and the prisoner acquit-
ted.
August Drummond, the Bohemian ar
rested last winter for stabbing Fred Ken
eedY during drunken row, appeared look
ing white and scared. His bail was fixed
at $500, and the case reset for June %.
The following cases were reset for the
same date: II. Clay James, keeping house
of ill-fame; Mary WILDER, killing her infant
child; George Tanner, keeping gambling
house; Chris. Hanson, illegitimate parent
age; S. B. Hazard, w. w. Trlpp and
James Monroe, selling oleomargerine as but
ter; Shaw IL Wacutta, keeping gambling
house.
The case against George Howzek. Andrew
Tarasaw and John Miller, charged with as
saulting Watzlof Sicklow, was called, and
was still on trial when the court adjourned
for to-day. All the parties in this case are
Bohemian, and decidedly interesting time
was experienced in getting their testimony.
The trouble grew out of dispute over po-
litical matters. Siskow espousing the Ames
faith while his alleged assailants had voted
the Pillsbury ticket. Siskow was knocked
down, jumped on ano quite seriously III
jured, one of the attacking party pounding
him with a ladder, it is said.

charge OF fleeing stranger out of sew
