Finds Print of Weapon.

Not until an examination of the dead
mans clothing was made did the police
find the evidence which convinced them
that the man had hidden the weapon
in his shoes. Captain of Detectives
Kelly found one trouser leg rolled up,
and looking closer, saw the indentation
in the mans leg, which showed to him
how the pistol could have been tucked
into the elastic side of the shoe, and
hidden there, safe from discovery.
Haas slept both nights with his cell
door open and two guards patrolling
the corridor. Patrolman Bohle was the

THEODORE ROOSEVELT

Following is The Call IS account of the
shooting of Heney:
1t was at 4:25 O'Clock, while the
court was settling back into a browse
after a recess of a quarter of an hour,
that the tragedy befell with sickening
suddenness. For several minutes the
throng which packed the hall had been
moving back and forth for a breath
of fresh outer air before the case was
Presumed, but most of the spectators
had returned and the seats were filled,
while crowd was packed in the stand
ing room at the rear of the court. Judge

walked from Judge Lawlor's chambers
to the front vestibule of the building
and were standing on the steps con-
versing together, while Ruef was sew
eral yards away near the curb by his
automobile. Assistant District Attor-
ney O'Gara had left the room for a
moment, and the tables reserved for
the attorneys were vacant, but the
press representatives had returned and
seated themselves at the long table di-
rectly in the rear of the attorneys
chairs. Judge LawlOr had remained
behind in the chambers.
Heney, on leaving the chambers of
Judge Lawlor, stepped to the front of
the building, but returned ahead of the
Others and resumed his accustomed
place at the corner of the prosecution s
table, next the right hand side of the
courtroom and within a few feet of
the gate leading through the bar to the
witness stand.
AL MeCabe of the district attorneys
Office stepped forward as Heney seated
himself, and standing with his back
toward the aisle, entered into a whis-
pered conversation with him.
James L. Gallagher, who was under
cross examination as a witness, had re-

most of the recess, but when Heney re- !,
seated himself Gallagher arose and

FAKE RENT COLLECTIONS
Busy in East Side District
and Operations Are
Not Checked

Numerous complaints have lately
been made to the real estate men
throughout South Chicago and the East
Side that unknown men were at their
homes trying to collect rent for the
buildings This is game that is be-
ing worked in various sections of the
city and was recently discovered on the
East Side by Andrew Ringman, a real
estate dealer just in time to check their
operations which were beginning to as
sumo serious proportions.
The method employed by the bogus
rent collector is first to go to the real
estate man and ask for a permit to
go through certain houses that he has
for sale, saying that he is thinking of
buying property in the neighborhood.
Usually the real estate dealer will offer
to accompany man. but when he says
that be must be going back to the city
on the next train and will be out early
the following day, the real estate men
nant saying that he wishes to go
through the house. After being shown
through the house he will ask the ten
ant how much rent they are paying and
when they have to pay it.
Thanking the tenant he viii then
makes his disappearance. About the
time the rent is due again he will make
his appearance and sy that he has
bought the house and has come to col
lect the rent. Some times the tenant
will pay and again they will not.
Large sums have been collected in
various parts of the city on this game
and the real estate men are warning
their tenants to pay no attention to
collectors they do not know.

THE BULLET EXPLODED
And Little George Lansing
of Whiting Narrowly
Escapes Death.
Especial to THE T1mEsl

Whiting. Ind, May 23.-Evidently
wishing to show his little lady what
latent power there is in a 80 caliber
cartridge, George Lansing, the FIVE year
old son Of Frank Lansing of One Hun
dred and Nineteenth street, laid a cart
ridge on the street car tracks in front
of his home and then said to five year
old Lena Kaiser. who was standing
beside him. Watch the noise"
The little fellow folded his arms
while the little girl played with the
other bullet, and together they waited
for one of the street cars to come
rocking down the line. AS the car ap-
preached they both bent down TO watch
closely, and as the wheels of the first
truck struck the cartridge, there was
a loud report under the car and a
piercing cry on the lips of George.
The bullet was fired and struck the
boy in the abdomen, stunning him for
a moment, but recovering himself
again he turned and ran to his home
where he again was overcome when he
reached the top of the steps. Little
Lena followed close on his heels, crying
and speaking comforting words to him
while the boy headed for home.
Don't cry, George; it don't hurt.
Did the noise hurt you in the stomach?
Oh. George, I feel so sorry for you;
won't do it again." to all of which
Georgia could only answer ''boo-hoo.
hoo"
When the frightened mother learned
what had happened to the miniature
| anarchist who tried to dynamite the
street car line, a doctor was sum-
moned who said that the injury was
nothing serious. The boy did not get
the full force of the shot.
The two children found the bullets
! in the rear of Water Brothers store,
! they having been accidentally swept
! out.
