THE MESSIAH is INDICTED
RockfOrd's Notorious Irreligious Crank
Under Arrest
Charged Specifically With Unlawful Living
and Inferentiaily With Filling Heaven
With Victims Of Hypnotism

ROCKFORD, ILL.,, Oct. 21.-George
Jacob Schweinfurth, the famous
Messiah, will apear in the circuit court
mere Monday, October 18th. in answer to
an indictment of the grand jury against
him at the April term, on the grounds
that he was living illegally with the me M
bers of bis flock at Zion, a short distan ce
south of this city.
Hypnotism, no doubt, will play an i'm
portant part in the trial. 1t would seem
from these intimations that the Rockford
Messiah" Possesses more of the occult
power than DuMaurief's villain ana has
used it successfully on dozens OF subjects.
The main feature of this celebrated case
will be the arguments brought up by the
prosecution to show that Schweinfurth
has been violating the law in his manner
of living. The state has tried to indict
Schweinfurth before, but has nevere sue
ceeded. Carl Nicholson, one of the m ale
inmates of the "heaven." has deserte
Schweinfurth and has Joined friends in
Rockford. Nicholson will be retained as
a witness for the prosecution. In an in
terview he corrobordted the testimony of
Lynn r. Grandy, another inmats in re-
gard to the influence exercised by
Schweinfurth. Nicholson has travelled WI; h
II professional hypnOtist as subject, and
he has no doubt Scbweinfurth' s influence
partakes uf a bypontic character. The
women, he declares, are com pletely in
his power.

normal school for an hour, waiting for
Blanche Lam mont and that when she cam
out he boarded car with her and rooe
away in the direction of the church. :.
Charles t. Lenaban, who, it IS asserted
by the defense, was mistaken for Durrant
by Pawnbroker Oppenheim, proved dis
appointing witness. lie made several
conflicting statements, among which was
the assertion that it was in the afternoon
instead of the morning that he tried to
pawn a ring at Oppenheim s. In letter
written to Dnrrants attorneys some time
ago Lenahan said he tried to pawn the
ring in the morning at the very hour
Durrant is said to have entered the place.
Attorney Dickinson intimated that he
would impeach Lenahan's testimony on
several points about which he had made
conflicting statements.
The defense sought to show by Robert
N. Lynch, Rev. George Gibson's private
secretary, that be gave Miss Cunningham,
a newspaper reporter, the first clew TO the
fact that Mrs. Leak had seen Durrant and
Miss Lam ont enter the church on the
afternoon of April Sd. The object of the
Mrs. Leaks testimony and to show that
Rev. Gibson, in his zeal to convict Dur
rant, had been instrumental in making
public damaging evidence against him.
Lynch said he did not tell Miss Cunning
ham of what Mrs. Leak had seen, as at
had any information on the case.
Attorney Dickinson was sworn and took
the stand binself for the purpose of iden-
tifying leather strap, bearing Blanch
Lamont's name which, he said, was sent
to him by mail last July. He said he
did not know who sent the strap. 1t will
be remembered that the strap was pro-
duced in court by the defense some time
ago and Miss Maud Lamont was asked if
it was not the strap in which her sister
Was accustomed to carry her books.
While Miss Lamont was not positive, she
did not think the strap ever belonged to
her sister. Attorney Dickinson asked
that the strap be admitted as an exhibit.
District Attorney Barnes obj ected and the
court withheld the ruling on the question
until tomorrow morning.
Clark. travelling salesman who resides
in this city, but is now in Boston, was
read. The defense expected to prove by
Clark that he had seen Miss Lamont on
the afternoon of April Sd accompanied by
a man other than Durrant. Clark said
that ne could not positively fix the date
and only thought the girl he saw was
Miss Lamont from the fact that she re-
sem bed a picture OF Blanche which he
saw in a newspaper a few days later.
An attempt was made to discredit the
testimony OF ". J. Phillips, who said he
saw Du rrant enter the pawnbroker's shop
on April 18th. Phillips was recalled and
asked about the character OF hotel that
he formerly conducted at Victoria, b c.,
but the question failed to show that he
was ever engaged IN any business that
was no: respectable. Attorney Deuprey
was not we'll enough to appear in court
this morning. IL Is expected that he will
be able to resume work IN two or three
davs,

UNITED STATES TIN PLATE
Treasury Agent Ayers Report
on the Industry
A SATISFACTORY SHOWING
The Production Of Black Plate Steadily
Increasing
An Increase Of 80 Per Cent In Commercial
Tin Production Is Shown for
the Past Year
Associated Press Special Wire,

Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Special
Treasury Agent Aver was recently in
structed to ascertain and report on the
condition OF the tin-plate industry in the
United States. He has gjust submitted
his report to the department.
The report covers the Operations of the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1Se,. The
facts presented show a marked increase
in the number of mills for rolling the
steel sheets, or ''black plates" which
form the body of commercial tin. The
largely increased consumption of the
steel sheets from American rolling mills
indicates not only the accelerated growth
of this branch of industry, but an actual
preference for Ame!ican-rolled sheets.
During the year the production in the
United States was 1913, 50l, ,073 pounds, an
increase of 80 per cant over the previous
year. Forty eight firms were producing
during the quarter Tended June 30, 1895,
against forty the previous year.
Twenty eight rolling mills were pro-
ducing black plates during the quarter
against twenty during the same quarter
in 1884
OF the forty-eight firms that were pro.
duclng commercial tin and tin plates
during the quarter ended June so, 1895.
thirty-nine used wholly American
plates, nine used both American and
foreign plates. No firm used wholly for
eign plates.
/. The proportion of American sheets used
during the quarter ended June 30, 1895,
compared with the entire production of
commercial tin and tin plates was SO per
cent, against = per cent used the pre-.
vious year. During the year eight firms
permanently discontinued operations.
Twenty-si1 new firms engaged in the
active business during the year, of which
make black plates.
