circulated in the past without effect,
but more recently the temperance
wave has had its effect here, and the
Anti-SaloOn league has been enlisted
in the movement against the saloon.
1t is said that few towns of less than
1000 people have ever been known to
support three saloons, but Hagerstown
has less than 1000 population. and
its three saloons are the most pros
porous business places here. One OF
the saloons is furnished so expensive
ly with massive mahogany furniture
and fixtures that it is talked of as one
Of the finest in the country. Indeed
no small town in the state is said to
have anything finer. All the saloons
are conducted in an orderly manner
there seldom being a complaint for H.
legal selling or other offenses common

w L. Niles, T. H. l. & f. traction
motorman is charged with gross care
lessness by the coroner of Marion
county for allowing his car to pass
over the body of Joseph Martin near
Cumberland.
The verdict in the Cumberland case
reads:
L. G. A. Petersdorf, coroner of Mari
on county, Indiana, find that Joseph
Martin died from crushing injuries re-
ceived by being run over, at Cumber
| land, Ind, by a car belonging to the
| Terre Haute Indianapolis and Eastern
Traction company, in charge of con
ductor Frank Furry and Motorman W.
l.. Niles.
Said Joseph Martin at the time of
the accident was lying PROSTATE across
the track of the above named traction
company.
Il further find that MotOrman w. l..
Niles was guilty of gross recklessnesS
and carelessness amounting to crime,
in that he neglected to stop his car
when signaled to do SO. Failure to
stop on signal when going at a high
rate of speed might place in jeopardy
the lives of many passengers and is {
procedure which can not be too Sc
verely condemned.
"Inasmuch as there is a difference OF
opinion among the witnesses as tC
whether said Joseph Martin was dead
when struck, or died from the effect.
Of his injuries, I recommend an inves
tigation by the grand jury"
No Evidence of Foul Play.
Discussing his verdict on the deatf
of Martin, Coroner Petersdorf said TIL,
passengers on an interurban Ca
would have little chance to escape il
cases of impending danger were motor
men to refuse to heed signals
Suppose there was a tree across tn
track, a burning bridge or open cul
vert" he said. And that boy wa
trying to flag the car. If the motor
man refused to heed his signal a terri
BILE accident would follow"
The coroner said he was unable t
solve the mystery surrounding tn
1 death of Martin. However, he e,
: pressed an opinion that he believe
Martin was drunk while on the track
and that there was no foul pla.
Throughout the investigation no SUI
II stantial evidence was found that woul
re strengthen the theory of murder, viii
there was plenty of evidence that Ma
