job cut out for them.
CAUSE UNKNOWN.
The cause OF the fire is unknown, but
it started about the middle of the room
occupied by the box factory, on the
north side, and spread in all directions
with great rapidity. Owing to the poor
pressure of water, the firemen were un
able to get an effective stream through
the windows of the third story and the
flames, fed by the infiammable material
stored there, soon were beyond control
They shot out of the windows in great
tongues of fire that seemed to reach
nearly across the street, and upon which
the streams from the hose seemed to
have no effect.
CASUALTIES.
The first accident happened shortly
after the arrival of the fire department.
In front of the burning building was a
great maze of telegraph and
telephone wires which was en-
veloped by the flames shooting from
the windows. Suddenly the mass part
ed with snap and fell to the street in
tangle. Thomas Meredith, a brother

This was surprise to those present,
as the existence Of this affidavit had
not been made known during the trial
of the Hannah Walker case. HERS is
one Of the prisoners now in jail under
the same charge as DR.. Ackerman, but
he has not been indicted. He was one
of those who created a sensation on
the second day of the trial by refusing,
when put upon the stand as a States
witness, to answer questions which
had any connection with his or the
other defendants whereabouts on the
day of the tras cdy.
Mr.. Gruber intimated that the State
was attempting TO impress tie court
with an idea thai it had evidence, when
it had none
Mr.. Bellinger protested against such
an uncalled for assertion.
Judge Aldrich said he did not care
to hear any more arguments. By a
legally provided express procedure.
the judge is enabled to say whether or
not the proof is evident, Or the pre-
sumption great"
There are here separate indict-
ments. One case has been tried ana I
am asked to take actual notice that the
testimony IL the case of Hannah
Walker is applicable in that OF Isham
kearse. In such circumstances the
rule is that the State is not supposed
to have presented its full case il the
first instance.
Therefore, without passing upon
the question whether the defendants
were entitled to bail on the ground
upon which the application was made,
I have not the legal right to entertain
the motion"
The defense will probably make an
other effort before Judge Aldrich or
another judge, putting their appllca-
ton in different form.
