CASE IS
STARTED
TO-DAY
Walter O'Connell Is Put on
Trial on a Charge of Muir
dering an Infant, at Val
paraiso Circuit Court This
Afternoon.

Valparaiso, Ind, Jan. 5.-tSpeciaI.)
The first afternoon of the Walter
O'ConneII murder trial, which was
venued to Judge w. G. McMahan's su-
perior court at Valparaiso from the
Lake superior court at Hammond, was
taken up in the attempt to impanel a
Jury.
The case was called to trial yester-
believed that 1t Will require most of the
day for the selection of the jury to try
the cnse.
Walter O'Connel1 is charged with the
numbering of an infant said to be his
illegitimate child. At the time O'Con-
nell lived in the town of Miller
After the child had been killed, it is
alleged that OConnell tried to hire a
man to bury it. This man tipped it off
to Sergeant Edward Klopf of Miller
who made an investigation and finally
located the body of the child.
Some Peculiar Stories.
OConnell is defended by Attorney w.
: J. McAleer and Attorney Bardon of
Hammond. States Attorney Charles
Greenwald, Ex-State's Attorney D, E.
Boone, Attorney F. B. Parks of valpa-
raise and Attorney Patterson of East
4 Chicago win look after the states in
terests.
4 1t is expected that it will take al
least four days to try the case. There
will be large number of witnesses and
it is expected that there will be some
sensational evidence introduced before
the trial is over.
There have been some peculiar stor-
les of pressure that was being brought
to bear to have the matter hushed up
but the fact that the case has beer
called to trial indicates that these ru-
mors are baseless.
Two brothers%of the man who stand,
charged with murder have come ou
from Chicago to be present at the trial
The people of Miller. where the muir
der is said to have occurred, are in
ltensely interested in the case.

Financial Condition of Town Said To
Be of the Very Best.
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

Minutes of the previous regular meet
ing approved
Treasurer's reports for December and
the year ending Dec. 81 were approved.
The finances of the town are in ex-
cellent shape and condition. There is

that work so economically as the Toll

ordinance authorizes the borrowing of
$500 for the purpose of purchasing
land, erecting a building to be used as

chase of fire apparatus. The bonds to

MAN O|EING BY INCHES
Decomposition Sets in on
Victims Legs Oper-
ated on Last Week.

1t is now thought that a second OPP
Grafton will be necessary to save the
life of Charles Underwood, the Gary
man who had his feet frozen a few
days ago
1t Will be remembered that Under
wood was brought to Mercy hospital
where it was found that his feet were
so badly frozen that the amputation of
his limbs was necessary to save his
life. The operation was performed and
both the unfortunate mans feet were
taken off above the ankle. Owing to
his age and the condition of the frozen
members the operation was an extreme
ly dangerous one and it was thought
at that time that probably other opera
lions would be necessary.
Such is the case. Underwood now
lies in serious condition and it is now
deemed necessary that another opera
ton be performed in order that he may
live. At the time of the first opera
tion the mans feet Were taken of
above the affected part. The circula-
ton was so long impaired that de-
composition has set in the tissues above
the ankle and it is now absolutely ne
cessary that his legs be taken off be.
low the knee. The second operation
will take place tomorrow.

ONLY THE BEST WILL
Be GOOD ENOUGH
Comparatively Few Have OppOrtuni
ties Like Newspaper Men to Wit
ness the Untiring Efforts of the
Sisters of Mercy-They Would Add
Their Mite to Good Cause.

A movement has been started by the
four papers in Gary-namely, the
Gary Daily News. the Northern In
dianian, the Gary Evening Times and
the Gary Daily Tribune. to give a bene-
fit entertainment in the near future
for the Mercy hospital of Gary.
A representative win be selected
from each of the local papers in the
course of the next few days to COM
plete arrangements for the entertain
ment, which will be given during the
latter part of February or the first
of March, before the Lenten season
opens. It is the intention of the COM
mittee who are at the head of the
movement to secure the best musical
talent in Chicago for the entertain
ment, ana It is thought the the tick
es for the same can be readily sold
so that at least from 5000 to $500 can
be realized after paying expenses
which will be presented to the Sisters
of the hospital
There Is no institution in Gary who
has done more good and is more de-
serving than the Mercy hospital. Nc
one knows this more than the press OF
Gary, who have occasion to visit the
hospital every few days and see the
wonderful work now being done by the
Sisters. Not only is this the case al
the present time, but when the activ,
construction of Gary was commenced
the Sisters labored among the sick and
those who were suffering.
1t is for this reason that the move
ment is being started and it wa.
thought best by those in charge tina
first class entertainment would b.
the best possible means of obtaining
funds which will be later given to tn
hospital to purchase medical supplies
equipment, or for their building fund
as they best see fit to use it.

IN THE LIBRARY BASEMENT

Tonight the night school in the
basement of the Gary public library
will be opened by w. A Writ and the
board of education. The school will be
in charge of Professor S. J. Brickley,
and there have been over thirty appli-
cants for seats. Mr.. Writ thinks that
before the school has been started very
many days the place will be crowded
The main text which will be taught
to the night students is the English
language. This will be accompanied
by instructions in United States his
tory, readin gand writing. This course
will be given mainly to the foreigners
for the first few weeks, who desire to
get a better knowledge of the English
language. All of the applicants for
enrolment in the school are adults.
Quarters VIII Be Enlarged.
The equipment of the school will
consist mostly of collapsable chairs. a
few text books, maps, etc, of the same
character Of the primary grades of our
other schools. As soon as the numbe
of students reaches such a stage that
they can no longer be accommodated In
the basement of the public library, they
Will be transferred to one of the public
school buildings.
The night school was established
largely because of the petition of sew
eral of the adult foreigners of all ma
tionalities who desire to better COM
prehend the English language It is
planned later on, however, to also have
the school so that backward students
or those who have been compelled t.
get behind in their work because Of
sickness. will be able to catch up In
their work.

GAN PLAY

The game at Recreation park
yesterday between the Indians and
the w. s. C. team was the class to
insure good crowd at the second
contest this afternoon unless it's
too wet. The Indians won by 10
to 2 but the score tells little of
the story of the game, as the col
lege boys started out to win and
in the fourth inning 1t looked as
though there might be something
doing in that line. The collegians
hit Gregg repeatedly but the In
dian field was in the game. Not an
error was chalked up against them.
When Gregg settled down there
was nothing more to it. Foran and
Harrington were the battery for
Pullman.
Tomorrow the Indians play Con-
zaga college and the game should
be good one, as the college lads
have one of the best amateur teams
in this locality.

SECRECY BINDS GRAND
JURY WITNESSES
In TACOMA
(By United Press)

TACOMA, April 10.-Utmost
secrecy is maintained concerning
the identity of witnesses examined
by the grand jury in session here.
Several persons were ushered into
the room on the fourth floor of the
court house during the morning,
but those interested and even the
witnesses themselves were bound
to secrecy.
1t is understood that evidence
was introduced that will lead in
directly to the arrest and prosecu-
ton of certain citizens.
The jurymen have entered into
the investigation with a zest and
seem determined to dig into every
thing that might even hint at I'M
lawfulness.
