THE FOXY FOREIGNER
WAS BADLY FOOLED
Conductor Gets His Man
and Makes Him Take
495 Pennies.

If you did not have any change in
your pocket and the smallest money
you had in your pocket was a SIS bill
and if a street car conductor would
give you ~s4.95 in pennies as change,
now wouldn't that make you mad?
Well this what happened on Ham
mond- Chicago street car yesterday aft
ernoon when a foxy foreign handed a
conductor a SIS bill.
The joke fell on the foreigner who for
the past three Sundays had boarded
the same car and on his first fare had
paid nickel. When the conductor
came around for the second fare the
fellow always pulled out a SIS bill to be
changed
Yesterday the conductor was wait
ing for his prey, and when the foreign
er handed him the IS bill the conductor
dished out $4.95 pennies.
The foreigner gave an astounded look
and said, Me no can count" and then
he began to swear. The passengers in
the car all began to smile and the for
eigner had to contend himself with
the 495 coppers
With the aid of several more peo-
pie the victim finally got his money
counted by the time he reached Chica-
go. Now wouldn't that make you
mad ?"

STATE MAY FINISH
ITS SIDE TODAY
Hopes of Defense in Finne-
ran Trial Seem to be in
Labor Prosecution.

The Ffnneran trial was resumed in
Chicago today. The prosecution will
complete the Introduction of testimony
at noon today and then the defense will
examine it's witnesses.
So far every one seems to think that
the state has made out a great case
Everything it sought to prove has been
proven and corroborated to its com
plete satisfaction.
The only hope of the defense seems
to be that it will be able to introduce
evidence that the contractors associa-
tion is back of the prosecution for the
purpose of railroading Finneran to jaiI
However. the state has made out such
a good case that it is thought that the
court will regard this as irrelevant and
will not permit such testimony to be
introduced.
The states only fear is that the de-
fense in its despera ton may take steps
to get to the jury. For this reason
every effort is being made to guard
the jurymen and prevent any communi-
cation between them and any outside
influence.
IT is expected that the case will go
TO the jury along about Wednesday OF
this week. If Finneran is convicted he
will probably ask for new trial.

COURT PUTS
PUBLIC LID
ON EVIDENCE
(BULLETIN.)

After a remarkable review of the
Lewis divorce case. in which he went
into the question of the marriage rela-
tfon under a common law marriage as
compared with the same relation under
an ordinary arriage, Judge Virgil s.
Refter decided this afternoon that
Blanche Lewis is the common law wife
of Dave Lewis. the well-known East
Chicago hardware man.
The, question as to whether there is
sufficient cause for him to grant the
plaintiff a divorce will be decided after
the matter has been taken under ad-
visement for several days
Following the introduction of the
name of well-known Hammond wo-
man into the Lewis divorce case from
East Chicago a conference of attor-
neys and the court was held. in which
it was decided that the trial shall be
conducted in chambers hereafter
No one but the court, the attorneys
and the witnesses are admitted to the
room, and the bailiff has been caution
ed to use extreme care in excluding all
persons who have no business there.
Attorney L. L. Bomberger was ex-
amining the plaintiff Mrs. Dave Lewis.
when she made the statement that
Lewis had gone to Chicago with GER
tain well-known Hammond woman.
Bomberger pressed the witness for
the name. Mrs. Lewis seemed reluct-
ant to mention 1t. Bomberger insisted
and finally the name was given. 1t
caused a tremendous sensation and
the closing up of the trial to everybody
except witnesses and lawyers has set
the tongues of gossip wildly clatter-
ing. Further sensational develop
ments and other suits started as the
result of the episode.
