East Chicago. Ind, June 1.-G. w.
Allsopp. of 1907 One Hundred and
Fortyfourth street. escaped death
seemingly by miracle yesterday.
Allsopp is a switchman and works fo-
the Terminal railroad. He went out
with his train as usual yesterday at I
o'clock. riding on top of a box car.
Near Blue Island the train pulled up
and waited for the switchman to come
up and manipulate a switch which it
was necessary to do before the train
proceeded.
The switchman, however. failed to
appear and the crew became alarmed
and started a search for him. They
found him lying on top of the box car
he had started out on, in a helpless
condition. Both his arms were paraliz-
ed and he lay with both legs dangling
over the roof of the car, in imminent
danger of falling off with every Jolt of
the train. How long he had lain there
he himself could not tell, but he is
certain that he had traversed over six
miles of the journey in this perilous po-
sition.
Allsopp was taken to Blue Island
where he was placed in st. Francis
Hospital. and at last reports he SEEM
ed to be improving. Allsopp is a
brother-in-law of w. P. Jeppeson, as
sistant city treasurer of this city.

Members With Knotty
Query Which Makes Them
Do Some Thinking.

What is regarded as one of the most
clever questions that has ever been put
TO a jury in a criminal case is being
employed by the defense to test the
jurors in the Caldwell payroll con-
spiracy case which is on trial IN the
Lake Superior court.
The question is, IF you were the de-
fendant in this case would you be will
ing to be tried by a jury of twelve men
each of whom were in the same frame
of mind that you are at the present
time?'
The answer to this question usually
reveals the frame of mind of the Juror
II he is at all contentious. If he
winces. hesitates or gives an answer
that is not decisive it leaves a big ques-
tion in the mind OF the lawyer as to
his desirab bility as a Juror.
1t is expected that It will take all Of
the rest of the day TO secure the Juror
in the Caldwell case This is an indi-
cation of the extreme care that Is bein e
exercise in the selection of the twelve
men who are to try Caldwell
The case is on trial before Judge
/ awrence Becker of Room No. 2. 1t is
expected to take the rest OF the term or
a period of at least four weeks. 1t is

Mayor A. G. Schlieker. A dozen charges
are made against the mayor.
Under the law he will be compelled
to go to trial within twenty days and
there can be no delay in this proceed
ings Mayor Schlieker will either vim
dicate himself or will share the fate of
Albert Lewis, his subordinate, and his
fate will be known within a month.
The charges that are preferred
against Schlieker are as follows:
l. That he refused and neglected to
perform the duties of his~office by pre-
those who are guilty of such infrac-
tions of the law.
2. That he permitted houses of i'll
fame to exist. and did not take the
necessary steps to suppress them.

The taxicab which was reported
stolen in West Hammond when three

out of the machine and then drove
away with it. has been reported found
abandoned in Chicago near 53rd street.

The driver of the machine told the
story that he drove these three men
out from Chicago, and when they
reached the Schrum place at West
Hammond one of the men drew a re-
volver and demanded that he get out of
the car. which he did
Another man took the wheel then
and they all drove away. The ma

the city for his services and allowed
the payment of 5000 year to his pri-
vate secretary
These are the charges which promise
a great sensation when they are finally
aired in court and the mayor himself
is placed on trial. The affidavit Is
sworn to by Charles Pitzele of East
Chicago
A great many OF these charges are
the result of the grand jury investi-
cation which caused such a sensa-
ton month or SO ago. and resulted
in the Indictment of a large number OF
city officials and others.
If Mayor Schlieker is ousted from of
fice 1t will be necessary. for the city
council to elect a mayor to take his
place. This in itself is likely to pre-
cipitate an interesting situation.
City Attorney John Gavit of HAM
mond has been retained to prosecute
the action against Schlieker and his
success in the case of Albert Lewis,
Schlieker's chief of police. seems to
insure the thorough prosecution of the
case.
The proceedings were started on the
relation of Charles Z. Greenwald,
whose efforts to clean up East Chicago
have been more spectacular than any
prosecutions since those instituted by
others years ago.
