On the last day OF the Parliament Of 1923

the speaker in his chair while he read a
protest against various acts OF the govern
ment unauthorized by Parliament. For
this action Eliot was cast In the Tower OF
London and after more than two months
was brought to trial. lie was adjudged
guilty and sentenced to imprisonment dur
ing the kings pleasure.
Eliot was still a young man, but his
strenuous life and many hardships had told
on his health. This last imprisonment
brought serious Illness. and although he
petitioned the crown for mercy he was
forced to remain In prison. After four
years he died. in 1882. and his death did
what all his living energy could not do.
For as popular opinion was greatly in
censed at the needless sacrifice OF his life,
his death hastened the kings downfall.

GRAND JURY
ADJOURNED
YESTERDAY

The session of the grand jury which
or six weeks adjourned In the Lake
superior court at Hammond Wednesday
after having been out for only two
weeks
While no authentic information has
been received, it is understood that
only three indictments have been re-
turned. These are for crimes and mis-
demeanors of which the general public
already has cognizance.
The adjournment of the grand jury
came as a surprise to even the court
attaches, excepting of course. Judge
Reiter and Prosecuting Attorney c.
E. Greenwald.
1t is thought that the adjournment
may have been only temporary and
that this inquisitoria1 body may re-
tain it's present personnel and meet at
some future date.
1t is known that w. c. Harding, w
H. Olds, Thomas Buckley Monroe
Schock and DR.. Robinson, all of East
Chicago. were called before the grand
jury to testify in some cases of alleged
graft.
Whether the grand jury found moth
ing in these charges or will meet at a
later date to take up the consideration
of alleged crookedness in street paw
ing in East Chicago is purely a mat
ter of speculation

peared before Prosecuting Attorney c.

youn Dickev.
According to the story that was told
by the elder Dickey, his son was ar
rested on the charge of being intoxi-
Gated. He was taken to the police
station. where it is said that Dickey
made some fresh remarks to the Of
ficer.
Instead of reporting the matter at
the trial of the case, officer Weifen-
bach is said to have struck Dickey in
the nose with such force that the nose
was broken.
Dickey was floored by the blow. and
claims that he was permitted to lie in
pool of his own blood on the cold
cement floor of the Jail There were
number of buns in the. Jail, and
they are said to have moved Diclxey
so that he would not have to lie in
pools of blood.
Dickey, according to the story told
by his father. was allowed to lie in jail
all night with the result that blood
, poison set in and now the young mans
life is despaired of.
A warrant was issued for the arrest
of officer Weifenbach and he will be
taken into custody as soon as the sher-
| iff can lay hands on him.

1t has been demonstrated as a re-
suit of evidence which was introduced
in the Lake superior court. in Ham
mond. that the payroll frauds have cost
the Indiana Steel company over $780,
600.
1t is believed that had they not been
discovered when they were the amount
might easily have reached a half a
million dollars in a very few months
The stupendous size of the thefts,
which were made possible by carry
ing straw men. dead men and missing
men on the pay rolls. are only begin
ming to be appreciated by the outsid-
e.
1t is now apparent why the Indiana
Steel company is making every effort
to bring the guilty parties to justice;
why high salaried men are taken from
their work and spend days at time
waiting to testify in the case.
At first it was thought that the
frauds did not involve more than s10,-
600, then the amount mounted to $25,-
600, and now that the prosecution has
introduced most of its evidence involv-
ing the amount of the frauds it be-
comes apparent that over 500. 900 is in
volved
The prosecution declares that it has
evidence enough to convict Charles
Bloomhoff, now on trial. The defense
on the other hand states that most of
the evidence so far involved John Cald-
well and not the defendant who is on
trial
The trial OF these payroll cases has
been going on for over three weeks and
prospective date of its conclusion is be-
ing extended from time to time, until
| it is not known when the case will go
to the jury.
