Births,
Mr.. Gehring's Statement.

Albert Gehring, who declares he was

he did not believe the newspapers

that he did not refer to any one paper
in particular and did not mention any
names Mr.. Gehring declares that the
Jury on which he sat was the one
which cleared Janko Thomas of Gary
of the charge of rape. He declares
that he and others at first voted Thorn
as guilty, but were later brought
around by others until Yer Ct of not

Guilt; Girl Is Still in Crit

MISS KRAUSE TALKS.

That Miller tried to drown Anna
Krause. was the statement made by
the girl at St Margaret's hospital
today. She asserts that after his
first attack. when she was half un-
conscious, a motorcyclist went down
the road and that Miller left her
and went on the road. After the
cyclist had passed he returned and
jammed her head repeatedly into
the willow growth which had been
cut off by the hedge e-trimmers. 1t
was these sharp growths that pene-
trated her face and lacerated her
so horribly. Miller also dragged
tht girl into the water and held her
head under by placing his foot on
it. He then, thinking her dead. left
her. The cold water revived the
girl, however, and she was seen by
the Whiting men who rescued her.
