rapidly nearing climax. and sensa-

ditional warrants are looked for with
In the next "a hours.
The justice was In close conference
with Prosecuting Attorney Yerkes and
Assistant Prosecutor McClear from 10
o'clock Thursday morning until after
l O'Clock In the afternoon, and after
hurried luncheon the session was
resumed again at o'clock. The time
was spent in going over the testimony
taken this far, and Annie Smith, the
chief witness In the inquisition. was
present. presumably for the purpose
OF answering any questions Mr..
Yerles might see fit to ask her
At IL O'Clock Annie left the grand
Jury room in great haste, and, appar-
emily, laboring under considerable ex-
element She hurried down stairs
and out OF the building without word
to anyone. An hour later she return
ed, looking much relieved, and was at
once readmitted TO the judges cham
bers. II Is understood she went In
quest of documents bearing out GER
tain points in her testimony, and she
got them, too.
Developments Are Near.
The conference with Prosecutor
Yerkes, taken In connection with JUS
tice Jeffries' statement OF Wednesday
that he wished TO consult the prose
cutors before warrants are Issued,
is most significant. Justice Jeffries
expressed himself as we'll satisfied
with the mornings work when he ad-
journed for lunch. and intimated
strongly that developments are near.
Neither Mr.. Jeffries nor Mr.. Yerkes
would state, however, how far-reaching
these developments are likely to be.
More Witnesses Examined.
One or two additional witnesses are
TO be examined during the afternoon.
The only one examined Thursday
morning was Charles PETE, of PETE &
ThiIy, jewellers at No. % Monroe-ave.,
who testified to the purchase OF dia-
mond ring IN his establishment by
Annie Smith. presumably one OF the
rings Annie claims to have given Capt.
Newberry.
The issuing OF warrants at this time
will not necessarily mean that the In.
vestigation will be suspended. On the
contrary, Justice Jeffries plans TO keep
plugging along as long as there Is any
thing to investigate.

BUT NOT SELF-PAYER

Valentine Lakowiak, saloonkeeper.
claims to have been deceived as to
the terms OF contract when he pur-
chased an automatic piano from Val
entine Marvin. and he refused to pay
for It. Thursday morning Marvin
brought suit against Lakowiak In
Judge Murphy's court for the price OF
the instrument, $500.
Lakowiak claims that II was repre-
sented to him that the piano was TO be
paid for by the nickels dropped into
the slot to make II play. AT that rate
the plano would have been several
centuries paying for itself. as II was
testified that the patrons OF Lakowiak's
saloon discovered that the piano
could be made to play by the I'm.
sertion of wire in the slot, and the
dropping Of nickel was rare occur
renee. The case was not finished
when court adjourned at noon.
