aQUlRy SUDDENLY ADJOURNED
JuRlsTs AND PROSECUTOR HAVE
CLASHES IN COURT.
Judge Informs States Attorney That
His Evidence Is Not Proving
Accusations.

Chicago, Nov. 6.--Sudden adjourn
ment of the judicial investigation of
the office of the jury commissioners,
following repeated clashes between
States Attorney Wayman and Judges
Barnes, Honore and Rinaker, may pre-
sage the failure of the prosecutor to
make good" his charges of rotten
ness and fraud against the jury COM
missioners and their subordinates.
Reports have been current for sew
eral days that the bottom was out of
States Attorney Wayman's case
against the commissioners. These
rumors had substantiation in the atti-
tude of the judges.
Smarting under insinuations made
by States Attorney Wayman that they
were half-hearted in their hearing of
his charges, the judges, after a con-
ference of an hour and half, sudden
ly stopped the proceedings until next
Tuesday morning.
Judge Barnes, alone, not accom-
panied by the other two judges, en-
tered the courtroom where the jury
investigation was being held and read
the following announcement:
For reasons which this committee
deem eminently proper and of grea\
public Importance, and which will be
given to the public later, we have de-
cided to adjourn this hearing"
The immediate cause of this sensa-
tiOnal announcement uac on aditori q I
in morning newspaper in which it
was charged the judges did not I'M
derstand the nature of the inquiry
they were making. ~, ~
Ever since the investigation began
there have been constant clashes be-
tween the states attorney and the
committee of judges. These all
arose from questions on the part of
the jurists as to the relevancy of evil
dence being introduced. The judges
would say in effect:
What does all of this tend to prove?
We do not understand, Mr.. Wayman,
what all this investigation is leading
to"
You introduce evidence and you
say you will prove certain things, but
we do not understand that you are
now proving them"
States Attorney Wayman appeared
TO take these questions as an effort on
the part of the judges to impede his
investigation and whitewash the jury
commission. He responded holly to
the judges on several occasions. At
one time he said:
DO not get afraid of this thing at
this time

NINE. sTElAHEIL ASKS PITY
ACCUSED WOMAN SAYS SHE
SHOULD NOT BE TORTURED.
She Assumes Aggressive Attitude
Has Numerous Tits with Pre-
siding Judge.

Paris, Nov. 10.-"Have pity on me! |
am an unhappy woman who should
not be tortured cried Nine. Steinheil
at her trial for the murder OF her
husband and stepmother. The appeal
came during the testimony of jewelers.
with reference to the charges of jew
elry confided to them by the prisoner,
but which she originally insisted had
been stolen by the assassins.
The prosecuting Judge responded
that accused persons always repeated
that cry when embarrassed for an
answer.
Nine. Steinheil admitted anew that
she had caused certain Jewels, the
gift of her admirers, to be melted, but
that this was done to keep facts of
her life secret from her daughter.
From this point Nine. Steinheil as
sumed an aggressive attitude, which
resulted in Tits between her and
Judge de Wales. When reproached for
having concealed from the authorities
the fact that she possessed imitation
duplicates of her jewels the woman
defended her secrecy on the ground
that she wished to hide from her
friends the real financial condition OF
the family.
When the journalists testified that
Nine. Steinheil was in a state of
great depression when she confessed
to them that she had placed the pearl
in Coulliards pocketbook and then &C.
cused Wolf, the prisoner declared that
the newspaper men had tortured her
into speaking, one having twisted her
wrists to make her talk.
