AT Prospect this morning at o'clock
the trial Of Michael Burke. Of North
Main street this city, charged with
selling Wilbert Il. Stillwell intoxicat-
ing liquors, was opened. During the
morning session the testimony of Still
well was taken and this occupied a
large part of the time. Attorneys

Marriott, OF Delaware are representing
Burke and j. w. Thompson and John
ii. Clark are conducting the prosecu-
tion. a.
A large crowd of Marion people left
over the C. ID. and M. electric railway
this morning for Prospect in order to
be present at the trial. A number of
these were witnesses, there being a
large number subpoenaed by the de-
fense. The interest taken I'm the trials
being held at Prospect by Marion
people is very large and especially
are the people of Prospect interested.
Each day the township house in which
the trials are held has been filled to
It's full seating capacity and today the
attendance was unusually large. For
the most part the residents there rat
her favor bringing the trials to their
.city and few words of resentment are
heard on the streets. In accomdating
the crowds who assemble there the
stores have been kept Dusily engaged
and business has been decidedly good.
The only feature which the citizens
OF Prospect dislike Is the unpleasant
filthiness which is frequently brought
Iup in connection, with the trials. In
the trials which were held this week
the attorneys on either side delved
deep into the past history of the wit
nesses and their present associations
and the matters under discussions were
plainly unpleasant to hear. AS a re-
suit many of the leading citizens dis
like bringin & the cases there saying
that the "dirty mess" could not be
cleaned up in Marion but had to be
brought to the 'cross roads town" and
"our neighbor to the south" General.
ly. however, sentiment is not against
beolding the trials there.
Today on account OF the damp
weather the farmers focked to the
court room in hosts and interest was
at high pitch through the day,

same as that taken during the pro.

New York Employment Agent Sends
Out Foreigners aud Allows Them
To Almost Starve--Little Items of
Interest Concerning the railroads.

A quite serious development has
been brought about concerning the
practices of the labor agents Of the
Erie railroad this week, when it was
found out at Huntington, Indiana,
that men shipped there from New
York city were not provided with
work and were left to starve at that
place. Complaint was made to the
officials of the railroad and the mat
ter was carried into the courts at
Huntington, with the result that n
quite disgraceful situation was faced.
1t appears that Frank Coucci, a
labor agent at New York, who Sc
cures men to work for the Erie rail-
road, shipped two hundred men over
the Erie railroad and that as work
was found for them they were given
such employment. OF the two hun
dred who were sent from New York
practically all were given work by
the time the car reached Huntington
but twenty-five remained in the car
when the train reached that place.
Without food since leaving New
York, the men were unable to find
work. and complain, was made.
They were directed to follow the car
until work was found.
The Erie railroad officials when
asked concerning the matter report
ed that they had nothing to do with
the men. as they were in charge of
the employment agents who were
supposed to see that they did not
starve to death before they were Civ
en- work.
