very busy man these days, having re-
Gently closed up some of the best deals
that have been put through this sum-
mer, and is at the present time nego-
tiating for few more, which If thew
are put through. will make the real
estate transfer list look even better
than the old days, before the panic and
the remonstrance.
Among the prospective BUYERS who
are on Mr.. Englehardts list is none
other than Henry Levy. nephew of the
late packer, Nelson Morris. and at the
present time one of the high chief off,
clais OF the great packing industry.
Mr.. Levy, together with William
Thorne, chief council for the Nelson
morris company, were in Gary yester-
oay looking over the property with a
view OF establishing a bank in this
city as soon as they can build Mr..
Levy said yesterday that he had prac-
tically decided to establish a bank in
this city and that all that stood in the
way at the present time was the Sc
curing OF suitable location. Should
the Morris people decide to invest in
Gary, which seems probable at the pres
ent time. it will bring into the city one
OF the best financiers in the ewst.
VIII BE Welcome Addition.
Among the deals that Mr.. Engle-
hardt has already put through, is the
safe Oh hve acres of land along the
chicago road to A. B. Scerozinski. who
VIII in turn subdivide his property, nd
place 1t on the market at once. The
consideration was not given. The prop
erty is one of the choicest pieces on
the outskirts of the city, and is in the
heart of one OF the future residence dis
tricts of the city. that is proving very
attractive to purchasers at the present
time.

hfty-seven feet of property on the cor
ner of Dearborn avenue and Chicago

The above are just the sales that
have been made by Mr.. Englehardt
in the past week, and indicate that the
market is fast recovering its normal
status. The real estate men say that
there are more inquiries at their Of
fees in the past few days than there
has been in the last six months and

Fehrankamp was working in the rear
OF house on the opposite side of the
street and had to look over the side of
the porch to see the accident He said
he saw Barchard push the man off the
steps, but 1t was learned that Feheran-
kamp had had some trouble previous

painting on a ladder on the opposite
side of the street and heard and seen
all the trouble. He testified that Barch

given a rigid questioning by Coroner

SERGEANT BARCHARD
WHOLLY EXOnORATED
Is Held Guiltless in Con
nection With Death of
"Jack" Pritchard.
KILLED AT OFFICIALS DOOR
Witnesses Testify That Policemen
Merely Laid His Arm on Intoxi-
Gated Janitor and He Fell.

The inquest held yesterday over the
body of John Prichard by Coroner
CHARLES F. Kennedy at L. Lulenski's
morgue at 1924 Superior, showed con-
clusively that his death was the result
OF an accident. Such was the verdict
of the coroner's jury after being out
but a few minutes
AT least half a dozen witnesses
testified that Prichard, the janitor of
the Jones building at Seventy fifth and
Coles avenue, did not meet his death
as the result of being pushed down
the light of steps in front of the Ser
geant c. E. Barchard's home at 1929
Coles avenue, but was intoxicated and
lost his balance and fell down the fight
Of stairs.
Barchard On Stand.
Sergeant Barchard, who was alleged
to have pushed Prichard, was present
at the trial and told the same story
the rest of the witnesses-after
Prichard met his unfortunate death
Sergeant Barchard ran down stairs and
picked up the dying man. He hastily
summoned medical aid and when it was
found that life was extinct he super
intended the taking of the body to the
morgue. Sergeant Barchard then re-
ported to Capt. John Halpin, at the
same time Lieutenant Joseph Smith of
the South Chicago police station went
to the scene of the accident and took
the testimony of the witnesses At
the inquest today their evidence on the
witness stand did not vary in any de-
tail to that given to Lieutenant Smith
which showed that their story of the
accident was true in every respect.
Pritchard Was Intoxicated.
Pritchard was found to be intoxicated
when he met his death. Evidently was
shown that he has been intoxicated
many times of late by people with
whom he was employed
Peter Heagy of 1914 Coles avenue,
who was with Pritchard ali morning
up to the time of the accident. testified
that he and Pritchard had taken sew
eral drinks Of whisky at Parkside that
morning and later at South Chicago.
He said he thought he was intoxicated
A bottle of whisky was found in his
pocket when a search was made of his
personal effect.
The whole trouble arose on Tuesday
from the fact that Pritchard was in a
rebellious mood-on his return to his
duties in the Jones building he saw
several children playing in the hall
way of the building, thinking they
were the children of Sergeant Barchard
he went to his door and rang the bell
The sergeant who was asleep upstairs
answered the bell and saw Pritchard
on the front steps. He saw that he
was intoxicated and that he had come
there for a row. Pritchard heCap 70

The Gary Hotel bar, which for months

The article in Tuesday nights TIMES
has caused CONSERVATION among the
gambling element in South Chicago
and it is believed that a general ex-
odus viii be noticeable at no distant
date
1t is true that there has always been
gambling Of some form or other, but
the better element of South Chicago
ans believe that there has been an ap-
probable increase during the spring
and summer months
It is fair to assume that the recent
depressed conditions of the times. have
caused an unusual large number of
men to be without employment. and
as result, a certain percentage have
taken up the art of paying partfcu-
lar attention to various capacities. in
which to make dollar or two. Some
are given employment as "barkers, j"
boosters, and other similar capacities.
1t is known that the younger ele-
ment of South Chicago, ranging in
years from is to 90. have lost various
amounts of money and have been re-
luctant in mentioning the fact to their
parents, fearing that an exposure be
the result.
In the Cigar Stores Too.
These games of chance are not onlv
confined to the saloon and pool room.
but many cigar stores in the rear Of
which are used nightly for the carry
ing on of poker games and crap shoot
ing.
1t has peen some time since raid
has been made on South Chicago
gambling houses, other than that of
George Rodgers place at 9217 Com
mercial avenue several months ago
when the proprietor and number
of the inmates were taken to the South
Chicago police station, all of whom
gave bonds. The case was transferred
to jury trial down town, the result
of which all were discharged
1t is refreshing to know that Cap
tain Halpin, who is backed up by the
entire force including Chief Shippv.
who was at one time a commanding
officer at South Chicago, and is in a
general way familiar with the local
station, is to give the matter special
attention.
