CHICAGO, April 9.-For the last
time in a case that will be called for
trial today the defense will ask Of the
law whether the defendant at the bar
is responsible for the Irquois Theatre
horror of three years ago and its 5s6
deaths. In Judge Kavanaughs court,
George Williams, building contractor
under Mayor Harrison will be ar
raigned on the charge of malfeasance
in office.
Unusual interest attsches to the
case from the fact that 1t is destined
to bring either the final curtain in
the legal drama or the first real hear
ing of charges on there merits. Judge
Kavanaugh long ago upheld the va
lidity Of the ordinance found faulty on
March 10 by Judge Kimbaough OF
Danville in freeing manager Will ].
Davis on the charge of manslaughter.
On account of this difference Of
opinion it is considered a fair pre-
sumption that the merits of this case.
if it is pressed, will be passed upon
fully with the probability of their final
disposition by the Supreme Court.
OF the eight persons held accounta-
| BILE for the Iroquois catastrophe by the
coroner's jury, Williams alone re-
mains before the bar. of justice.
With him in the indictment for mall
feasance was named Edward Laugh
| lin, building inspector, who approved
the Irqupis Theatre with its fault
equipment Of fire fighting apparatus.
But Laughlin died last year before
preliminary hearings of the Davis in
dictment.
The maximum punishment that cap
be meted out to Williams IL he should
be found guilty of neglect of duty Is
a fine of $1,000.
