{ Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 13.-Few men
have been subjected to,a cross-examina-
ton SO severe as that which is being
administered to Jacob Heyl by James
G. Flanders, attorney for Emil Schan-
dein and Mrs. Louis r. Frank, contest
ants OF the will of their mother, Mrs.
Lisette Schandein. s - 49,
The man who is. accused Of using un-
due influence on his mother,in-law with
the result that she gave most Of her
millions to his wife, is being compelled
to divnlge all Of the details Of his life g
history to Inc thoughts which
have not been spoken. Mr. Flanders
has been unsparing of the man who
came to America penniless boy in
1874, who has received 81, 100000 from
his benefactor and who married two Of
her daughters with the result he is now
the husband Of the residuary legatee Of
tn Schandoin fortune. "a" = a ..s
In his face and in his manner, Heyl
shows 5 the effects Of the long fight which
has conferred about him. Prepared, as
few witnesses are, for the ordeal which
has fallen to his fate, it has taken all
mand. With. the eyes Of Judge Carpen-
ter seldom off him, Heyl has given his
version of the Incidents testified to by
the witnesses for the contestants to the
will. At times the merciless questions
directed at Heyl have driven him to
answer. 4 .NF II
Attorneys for the contestants said
today that they expected = to conclude
the cross examination of HeyF before
the adjournment of court tonight. !.

Frank, under the. control of =, Jacob
Heyl were demanded from him today
by, Mr.. Flanders. The attorney also
asked that additional letters written
to Heyl by his mother-in- law, be intro
duced in. evidence. Charles Quarles, at
torney for Hey1, resented an intima-
ton that Heyl was guiltyzof any i'm;
among. the personal effects of Mrs.

cocoa. chocolate and milk instead, but

Firemen who had been called to the

fell in with a crash and boys and girls
working on the upper floor were thrown

BY what seems little less than mir

Henry Horn was at work on some
heavy wooden goods, and using gasolene
freely to remove the dirt. A spark Of
electricity darted from the brush he
used to the cloth, and instantly there
was a puff of flames and the heavy
fumes Of .gasolene were ignited. The
blaze quickly spread and in a few mo.

a blaze. The employees fed from the
building and escaped without injury.
After the first explosion, NO further

Big Scandal. * - = :.

& Peoria, Ill, Oct.~ l3.-An Indictment
charging Oliver J. Bailey, chair
man of the finance committee OF the
Savings bank, director of the Central
National bank. trustee of the Bradley
Polytechnic institute, which is affiliated
with the Chicago university, and one OF
the wealthiest men in Central Illinois,
for malfeasance in office, was voted
by the grand jury yesterday. =.
The returning of an lndlctment
against Bailey is the elimination Of g g
fight which has waged in the grand
iuryroom since the day indictments
were returned against Dougherty.
The grand jury has been divided into
two factions. The majority insisted
that some member of the school board
be held responsible for the populations
of Dougherty, which had extended over
a period of at least ten years, A month
before the grand jury assembled, Bailey
He secuted the idea, audited the &C.
counts and declared the finances to be
in excellent condition.
Dougherty Denounces Jury.
In his cell in the county jail last
night, N. c. Dougherty bitterly de-
nounced the action Of the grand jury
in voting an Indictment against Mr..
Bailey.
"The action of the grand jury,' de-
clared Dougherty, sis utterly unwar-
ranted. There was no reason for in
dieting Mr.. Bailey. He knew nothing
Of the finances Of the school board. l
alone am responsible for any errors
which might have existed. It is un-
just to cast such reflections upon a
man of the stamp of Mr.. Bailey
Bailey, when informed of his indict-
ment, seemed to be surprised at the
action Of the grand jury. 81 am limo

don't see. why I should be held re-
sponsible any more than any one mem
Der of the school board. [ had implicit
confidence in Dougherty and took his
word for everything. [ am ready to
face the charge, altho it is unjust, IN
called for, and terrible blow.'
Fear Run on Banks.
Directors of all the banks Of Peoria
held special meetings last night when
the news that Bailey had been indicted
was spread thruout the city. Several
days ago these banks obtained large
amounts of cash in anticipation Of the
runs which were made last Saturday. It
is now feared that the indictment
against Bailey will cause renewal of
the runs, and steps are being taken to
guard against it. In the local papers
today appear statements signed by the
bankers to the effect that their institu-
tons are financially sound. At the
Dime Savings bank the sixty-day no
tice for the withdrawal of all savings
deposits is rigidly enforced
