In the transfer of ownership of the
property there is chance that the lot
Will become the building site for new
Baptist church. The purchasers, all Of
whom are prominent Baptists, have
agreed among themselves to turn the
property over to the church for what
they paid for 1t, provided the church
should desire it for a site. No such a
proposition, however has been made to,
or considered by the church as yet.
In case the church does not desire 1t
the purchasers will hold it as an in
vestment. The property is one of the
best close-in building sites in the city.

HisER ANSWERS.
Grand Jury Witness Responds to
Questions-Case Dropped

George Hiser, who is said to be the
owner of the Clifford saloons, and who
refused to answer certain ques tions
asked him during a grand jury inves-
LEGATION of liquor cases a few days ago.
gave the desired answers to the grand
jury Tuesday afternoon.
This is the conclusion deducted from
the court proceedings this morning.
when County Attorney Egermayer de-
clined to file an affidavit against Hiser,
when requested to do so by Judge
Parker. The county attorney said that
the filing Of the affidavit was unneces-
sary.
From other sources it was learned
that Hiser was closeted with the grand
jury Tuesday afternoon, and from Mr..
Egermayer's action in court this morn
ing there is every reason to believe
that Hiser gave the answers regarding
the transfer of the Clifford saloons.
