Jury Surprises Prisoner
Who Expects Conviction
by Bringing in Verdict in
His Favor-Was Willing
to Be Punished.

Proof Of the fact that you can't tell
what a jury will do is shown in the
case of the state of Indiana VS.. George
Watkins, who was charged with as
sault and battery by David Weiner Of
Dyer, was found not guilty by the jury,
although he had signified his intention
of pleading guilty and paying his fine.
Attorney Joseph Conroy was en-
ployed to defend the defendant, and the
case was tried in the Lake superior
court before Judge Virgil S. Reiter.
Before the case came to trial Watkins
was about to plead guilty and pay his
fine.
However. he feared that his convic-
ton on the charge of assault and bat
terry would make him liable for dam
ages in a civil suit, and his attorney
went to David Weiner to see if he
would sign papers releasing him from
all liability in the event he pleaded
guilty.
Loses by stubbOrnness.
Weiner was stubborn about the mat
ter and refused to sign the papers re-
leasing him from liability for damages
and so the case went to trial
There seemed to be no question as
to what the jury would do. for the
evidence seemed to show Enthusiastically
that Watkins was guilty and deserved
to be fined.
To the surprise of every one the jury
brought in a verdict of mot guilty"
and Watkins was released. Now that
he has been acquitted of the charge
OF assault and battery, David Weiner
will have a hard time to get a judgment
for damages, even if he should start
suit.
That is sample Of the kind OF sus-
| tice that is administered when a mans
| fate lies in the hands of twelve Of his
peers.

Mayor Becker's Hand Is
Seen in Appropriation
Bill for 191OLEven the
Democrats Admit Meas
ure Part of "Game."

If needed to X-rays to discern the
fine political hand of Mayor Becker
in making up the salary appropriation
bill for the year, matter which came
up before the council last evening and
around which the interest of the ses-
sion centered.
Through the instrumentality of May
or Becker, the man who is strong on
economy. an ordinance pertaining to
salaries was introduced, giving the
mayor an increase of $500 per annum
in his wages.
According to the law the outgoing
council fixes the salaries for the fol-
city council attempted to do last night
That the matter must await special
meeting, which is to be held tomorrow
night, is due mainly to the position
of Councilman John Kane who was un-
willing to allow an advance OF salary
to the city treasurer. who now gets
$1,500, and to whom s1,70O is to be Civ
en-. Upon the first reading Messrs. j. G.
Becker, Carroll, Kane, Papp and Turner
voetd against the ordinance. Swan
ton, Pascaly, Schultz, Newman and Lau-
er voted for it, while Eastwood. Kaptur,
Schroeder. Schaaf and Hammond were
absent. This made a tie vote, giving
Mayor Becker the deciding vote. He
voted in favor of the change whose
bone of contention was the treasurer

Are Representative Men.

are hepFeHe aNOAtNe Men,
Never in the history of the city has
there been such a representative lot of
republicans in the field. The labor un-
ion element in the party has not hesi-
tated to put candidates III the field, and
the announcement of their candidacy
was welcomed by the party leaders
and the members Of the city central
committee.
The other interests in the city are
represented. There are business men.
professional men and the employees of
the various factories in the city repre-
sented on the ticket. and all are men
of know honesty and integrity.
1t is apparent from the names al
ready announced that the next admin
istration is not to be run by a clique
or by well oiled political machine.
as IT now the case, but is 10 be admin
istered by representatives of the whole
people in their interests.
AS the primaries will be next Tues
day. it is expected that the coming
six days will be characterized by great
activity on the part of the various
candidates. and the reports they have
made so far are that the prospect of re-
publican success is the best in years.
Scott Caller to Run.
The announcement of R. Scott Caller
for the office of alderman of the
Eighth ward was received with enthu-
siasm by his friends. Mr.. Caller will
undoubtedly be one OF the strongest
candidates for the aldermanic nomina-
tion. and 1t is expected. in the event
his name is placed on the ticket. he

The Psychological Moment.

That Mayor Becker is injecting poll
tics into the salary appropriation is
admitted even in Democratic circles.
and while there is no complaint to
make that the city offices in general
are overpald, it is apparent at once that
the change is made at the psychological
moment, providing a 5000 raise for the
city treasurer, and 500 raise for the
city clerk, and this at a time when
William Wolter and Otto Duelke, treas
urer and clerk, respectively, are said
to have cut loose from Becker and
running on their own hook.
AS for the reduction of the judges
salary, Judge Mcmahon, the present in
cumbent, will not succeed himself. and,
consequently, Mayor Becker can afford
to do a little pruning there without in
juring the Mcmahon faction. If the
next city judge is a republican he will
have to stand the consequences for
having been elected by that party and
as for Attorney Fred Barnett. the
democratic candidate for city Judge
Mayor Becker is absolutely under no
| obligation to him, and if he should be
successful it will be a case of helping
to pay the fiddler.

Will be Plenty of Candidates.

Although the next Democratic primary is nine months distant, many candidates are being men toned for the various county of fees.
 It is an assured fact that we vii have another hot congressional campaign in this district, as the present incumbent, Hon. R. Minor Wallace, has announced himself as candidate for re election and h. will be opposed by Hon. w. E. Goodwin, ex-state senator iron Warren. and probably others.
 We understand that Representa- tive w. E. Lacy will not be can didate for reelection to the next general assembly which will caus. a scramble for that office with the Hon. Monroe Smith as the only candidate prominently mentioned at this time.
 Circuit Clerk o. A. Miles and County Clerk T. w. Williams. who were both elected on a two term and out platform, will neither be candidates. Deputy Clerk J. R. Loyenthal. County Judge A. P. McMahon and J. A. Rowland are mentioned for Mir. Miles office. while Deputy County Clerk John Mccain and Jesse J. Craig are candidates for Mir. Williams place.
 Treasurer Francis Goodwin is to be candidate for reelection and will have several opponents. among them ex-Treasurer Warren Hill.
 Hon. S. c. Baskin is contem- plating making the race for county judge and will have at least two and possibly three opponents.
