TtRM OF COURT
The Brewer Indictment.

lHuictlueHL against FRANK ana cara
Brewer, presented by the Grand Jury
lastTuesday, was begun Tuesday
morning. There was more that the
usual challenges in selecting jury,
both the State and defense exhausting
the limit of ten each. The following
constituted the jury
Frank A. Homan, Howard Brown,
Nimrod Chew, Edward Owens, Chas.
Babcock, John Gluwick, Frank Matt
son, Tullis R. L. Packer, Allen Barr,
Rufus S. Adamson, Marcus Pierce,
Thos. Stevenson.
The Prosecutors opening, in which
he outlined the facts on which the
State would rely for conviction, if
proven, indicated that the West Dept
ford hotel was simply brothel of the
lowest order, and if proven the in
dictment has been found none too
soon.
The first witness was VIM. Cooke,
who testified he was, and for ten
years has been, an agent of the Law
and Order Society. He first visited
the place May 4, last; later became
boarder, and gave in detail what he
saw and heard during his residence
there. E. ]. Hawn and VanLeer, also
agents of this society, detailed what
they saw and heard, and gave names
of persons, male and female, they saw
there between May and June 28slast.
1t is needless to say the testimony is
unprintable.
The defendants called as witnesses
to rebut the testimony of the three
Law and Order detectives, the people
who reside near. These all testified
that the place was quiet, orderly and
well kept. There was no tipping and
no disorder, and so far as they knew
it was model hotel. This testimony
was not shaken on cross-examination. Z
Mr.. Avis represented the defendant,
and Mr.. Rogers the State.
The testimony was completed We'd
nesday evening, and the lawyers sum-
med up this morning AS we go to
press the case is in the hands of the
jury.
