AN INJUSTICE
DONE THEM
By People With Malicious Intentions
Otto S. Bertram and Wife
Talk.
A Palladium representative, kno'

A Palladium representative, know
ing that Otto S. Bertram would soon
i be taken to the Northern Indiana
prison, called at the county Jail this
morning to have a talk with him on
the subject Of his conviction and sub
sequent sentence. The representative
asked Mr. Bertram what he thought
of the verdict of the jury.
81 am as innocent of this charge
as it is possible for man to be, =
said Mr.. Bertram Il am the victim
of a conspiracy, laid by the Hills.
They were maliciously inclined to-
ward me and my wife. IF my step
daughter was poor girl this accusa-
ton would never have been made, but
the Hills are property-seekers and
want all they can get. No father ever
treated a child better than / did
my daughter. She accompanied me to
fairs and other places and | always
treated her as father would his
own child, and / felt near to her. i
don't believe she would ever have
done what she did but for the Hills.
s'John F. Robbins, in his closing
argument, said some things about my
wife that were absolutely false, and
he knew it, and it is a shame that
man is allowed to rant like that in
the court room.
FDr Zimmerman, when he told the
stories he did in court, knew as well
as he knew that he was living that
they were manufactured to shield
himself "a
The verdict of the jury is not salts
factory at all. They passed judgment
without even considering the testi-
mony They were only out a few
minutes when they unanimously
agreed. The matter was not consid-
cred by them as body, and I think
they did me rank injustice.
Judge Fox was fair judge, and
he treated me well. think"
Mary Bertram
When the Palladium representative
called at the jail Mrs. Bertram was
there with her husband She said:
fPlease say for me that cold
hearted malice on the part of his
enemies was the cause of this trouble.
IF / had the least shadow of doubt
of my husband s innocence I would
not live with him minute To think I
would stand for such thing is out
rageous. love my daughter today
as ardently as I did, when, as a babe,
/ fondled her in my arms, and I still
believe she will return to me and
make an open confession to the world,
vindicating Otto Bertram and telling
the whole truth. This day will surely
come. and it is not far off.
Mr.. Bertram will not be taken to
the penitentiary for few days, ow-
ing to some business matters he has
to attend to.

TRAFFIC
STOPS FOR
REPAIRS

Westminster street. from Mathewson
street down TO Turks head. presents
very different appearance this afternoon
from that OF yesterday at the same time.
Workmen began early this morning to
tear up the pavement those from Math-
ewson street TO Dorrance busying them
selves I'm the interests OF the department
OF public works excavating along the
southern side OF the street for the laying
OF the pipes for the new high pressure
service those from Turks head working
for the Rhode Island company tearing up
the pavement in the centre OF the street
and removing the rails 10 allow the lay
Ing OF the new grooved rails and IA more
modern and efficient road bed.
II Is the first time since 1898 that the
citys principal thoroughfare has been out
OF commission 10 such an extent. and the
absence OF the usual traffic and the
trolley cars seems decidedly strange. The
Rhode Island company set It's gang or
laborers at work at o'clock this morning
and by noontime the tracks from Turks
head up TO Dorrance street were on their
way TO the scrap heap The work was
done with the greatest dispatch and II
looks as though the entire job would be
done with almost before it's well under
way.
For the laying OF the new heavy tracks
an excavation to the depth or 10 Inches Is
required and a glance at the rigid con-
crete bed being laboriously taken up by
the men lmpresses one strongly as being
rather stubborn and tough when dis
turbed. The new tracks are 10 be similar
to those laid on Weybosset street a short
time ago They will be OF the modern
grooved type, the rail demanded by the
| law. and will weigh 1oi pounds 70 the
yard. which is decidedly greater weight
! than that OF the rails now removed The
rails are to rest on substantial concrete
| beams and a cement filing will insure
perfect rigidity. The tracks are TO be
! renewed as far as Mathevson street.
The work undertaken at this time by the
| department OF public works consists In
| the laying of 12-inch main TO connect
| the A-inch main running through Math-
| ewson. and connecting the Hope and
| Sockanosset reservoirs with the Pinch
| main Al Dorrance street. The purpose Of
the new pipe will be TO equalize the water
| pressure throughout the dry goods dis
| trict and TO Increase by four times the
| available water supply for the use OF the
| fire department This work was planned
! by the department OF public works last
! spring and has been delayed until the
| present time because OF delay on the part
OF the Rhode Island company and other
| parties interested in the operation.
| The Providence Gas company IS to take
| advantage OF the unsettled conditions on
| Westminster street and put in n new gas
| pipe. but the details OF the work have not
as yet been settled upon.
The Rhode Island company has, OF
| course. found IT necessary to send all cars
across the center Of the city by other
routes than Westminster street. and from
| now on until the completion of the job
all west bound cars are TO use the tracks
on Exchange place and Washington street
