ATTORNEYS ARGUE OVER
SCHOOL BOARD AFFAIRS
Method of Procedure and State Law
Bones of Contention in Zim-
norman Case.

The case of William Zimmerman, Ger
man teacher at the Polytechnic High
School, who applied for an injunction re-
straining the Board of Education from
trying him on charges preferred against
him by Principal w. n. Bush, was sub
rnitted yesterday for decision by Judge
Murasky. Attorney Stephen V. Costello
appeared on behalf of the teacher and
Assistant City Attorney Brobeck defended
the board.
Brobeck insisted that the Board Of Ed
ucation had absolute control of the teach
erS in the School Department by virtue
of powers conferred on it by the laws OF
the State, which the charter could not
override. He called the courts attention
to the number of Writs issued by the
courts and declared that they greatly
hampered the board in the discharge OF
its duties.
Attorney Costello, who contends that
charges must be preferred by the Super
intendent Of Schools, said that while
there was no doubt that the State law
invested the board with the power to in
vestigate charges there was nothing in
the statutes providing any method OF pro-
cedure. The charter has provided a
method" said Mr.. Costello, "and by so
doing has not abridged in any way the
powers of the board
Brobeck then said: "Supposing the Su-
perfntendent refuses to prefer charges,
then the board is powerless to act, ac-
cording to your argument"
''The Superintendent will do his duty.

a Chinese named Young Sam, an I'M
portant witness for the prosecution, has
been paid $500 by persons Interested IN
clearing the accused, and shipped to
China in order that his damaging testi-
mony will not be available when the case

1t will be further alleged that friends Of
the defendant have paid to the relatives
of the murdered man $500, as balm for
their grief and an inducement not TO be
too clamorous for the conviction OF the
accused. The District Attorney will ask
for a reasonable continuance OF the case
to enable him to obtain other evidence.

regarded as the most important bearing
on the case, it appears that the crafty
Chinese have won a victory over the

BOY UNFOLDS
SOME SECRETS

CHICAGO, Dec. IA number of wit
nesses, whose evidence was wanted to
show that eX-Bailiff James J. Lynch was
often in the office of Alexander Sullivan
when the latter was attorney for the West
Chicago Street Railway Company, occu-
pied the stand in the Sullivan conspiracy
case to-day Emory Warne, Edward
Turner, P. II. Maroney am Robert Hill,
all formerly connected with the Traction
Company's legal department, and F. Rich
elson, formerly in the city law depart
ment, testified.
Hill, who was an Office boy for Sullivan,
was sprung as surprise on the defense
late yesterday. He said that he had car
ried letters from Sullivan to Lynch and
that he had brought verbal communica-
tions for Lynch to meet Sullivan. He
had seen Lynch and Attorney st. John in
Sulltvans s office many timeS-as often as
twice and thrice a week. On cross-exam-
ination the defense brought out the fact
that letters We're delivered in the, open
courtroom of Judge Clifford, where Lynch
acted as bailiff. Assistant States Attor-
ney Barnes asked:

you?" -
him quietly"
The testimony Of warne, Turner. Ma
roney and Richelson supported Hills
story that Lynch called often on Sullivan.
The defense on cross-eXamination brought
out assertions that there seemed to be
nothing suspicious about the meetings.
Maroney stated that he had often seen
Dan Coughlin in Sullivans Office also.
John Gordon, husband of Josephine Cor
don, was a witness and told of forwarding
to Lynch in New York, under the name of
Corners, money which he received from
Dennis Ryan, the custodian of a fund
of S450o. which had been provided for the
support of Lynch during his exile. He
was followed by his wife, Josephine, the
last witness of the day, who corroborated
Lynch's narrative wherein it concerned
her, and told of conversations she had
had with ST. John about her brother.

shrOuds the Case.

New York. March 19-Coroner Bausch, In
speaking Tuesday of the case of Mrs. Car
oline b. Cabus, who was reported to have
been killed at her home, No. 352 West
Eighteenth street, by her pet terrier, and
for whose burial permit was refused by
Coroner Bausch, said:
Il am waiting for report from Doctor
o'Hanon before 1 decide what to do. If
the report of Doctor O'Hanlon warrants il
an investigation will be made IN the mat
ter. From what 1 have read about the case
knife wounds were found in the throat. and
it nrst be from those that the case is
either one of suicide or homicide. If it
proves TO show either. will at once make
an investigation
Autopsy to BE Held.
An autopsy will be held on the body OF
Mrs Cabus for the purpose OF determining
whether apopleXy had anything to do with
the woman'S death In describing the
wounds found the Coroner said they had
severed several arteries. and that death
was undoubtedly the result of slow bleed
ing.
He has in his possession a knife such as
is used for pairing vegetables. The blade of
this knife when introduced into the wounds
fitted their shapes perfectly. and he was
certain the cutting had been done with the
knife he held.
Whether Mrs. Cabus used the knife her
self or whether it was in the hands of an
unknown party remains to be discovered"
said Coroner Bausch. The knife was found
beside the body.
Owing to the fact that the knife was very
dull. the Coroner thinks Mrs. CabuS would
hardly be able to inf1ict SO deep a Waund
and one with such clean-cut edges.
