and if the defendants were not sat
isfied with their counsel they must
employ others and be ready next
time.
When the decision was announced
the faces Of the defendants became
radiant with the first smiles seen
during the week. Even DR.. Amoss
found occasion to indulge in a laugh
The names of 40 Commonwealth
witnesses we're called and most of
them were put under 500 bonds.
Mr.. Kelly for the defense said:
"The defense does not desire to
have any witnesses recognized"
Fully as many witnesses were
present for the defense, as for the
Commonwealth, but their names
were not disclosed.
Milton Oliver and Sanford Hall
were both present and many pairs
Of reseptful eyes were turned on
them when their names were called.
The postponement of these cases
is great disappointment to the
prosecution. Before the case can be
called again. the jury wheel will be
filled anew and there will be four
months to get witnesses out of the
way. 1t makes an element of I'M
certainty that did not exist this time,
as the witnesses were here and the
jury wheel contained 300 names of
good men.
1t is believed that the defendants
will use every known device to pre-
vent the case ever coming to trial.

difficulty in recalling the name Of the

shortly after the Spanish h-Amertca ,,
war he gave assistance to a young
soldier who was down and out and who
had served in the war with Granger
but in different regiment. The
stranger accepted the aid and promised
to repay his benefactor. but the latter
noted the expense to which he went in
his profit and loss column and never
expected to hear from his down-and-
out acquaintance, but said that he
was now well taken care off, as he is in

NEEDS MORE
LEGISLATORS
After 1911 Lake and Porter
Counties May Be in One
Congressional District.

The day is not far distant wher
Lake county will have a congress.
man of its own and will send its
own representative to the National
House at Washington.
This statement is not a pipe-dream
but owing to the astonishing growth
that the Industrial section of the coun.
ty is making, viii be demonstrated
within year or two at the outset to
be an assured fact
AN ASTONISHING INCREASE.
The Indianapolis Star today says:
Predictions are that after 1911
Indiana, on account of Lake coun-
tvs growth, will have fourteen
representatives instead of thirteen.
1t is said that Lake county also
must be awarded a larger number
of representatives In the legisla-
ture. and that Lake county, with
one OF two others. will be set of as
the Fourteenth Congressional dis
trfct. n
Ttsc EARKY tn rKEDICT.
II is, Of course, too early to predict
just when this will take place. but that
after the election occurs this year, such
an astonishing increase in Lake coun-
tvs vote will be shown that it will
result in Lake county having two or
three representatives in the state leg
islature and a senator of her own.
A prominent Hammond man said this
afternoon that he looked forward to
Lake and Porter being put in one con-
gressiona1 district by themselves at
nrst' but that north Lake county would
grok so rapidly that it won't be very
long before the county has her own
congressman.
