in the case could be accepted for its
real worth. Haas was cross-examined
by the prosecutor. and as to the cues
ton of his appointment came to he
said in part:
George W. Wood. appointed spe-
cial states attorney, called at NV of
nee three or four weeks ago and told
me he was empowered by the board
OF supervisors to employ an attorney
or attorneys to assist him in this case
and wanted to know If would accept
such a commission.
Prior to this some of the ATTORNEYS
for the defense and one of the defend
ants visited my office. In all the con-
versations not a single fact relative
TO the charges in the Indictment were
discussed. The only feature discussed
was relative to the authority for the
appointment of Wood as special
prosecutor. l was ms. sEvrsed in any
particular of the plans for the defense
in this case.
1T is true that I represent three
defendants in cases which are sorpe-
what connected with this trial Now
when Mr.. Wood spoke to me ON the
matter of assisting him | told him all
these circumstances. To make myself
doubly sure that there would be no
objections to my appointment which
came to me as a purely professional
recognition. l submitted all details of
the conversations both with the de-
PENDANTS and Mr.. Wood to s.yo mem
bers of the county bar who are IN the
highest of standing and asked for their
l. f-s@ DIT
and Hugh E. Curtis declared they
could not perceive where the slightest
objection could be made.
The statement that / represent any
private interest in this case is abso-
lutely untrue and false. On the con-
trary, have an idea what private in
terests are meant. They came to my
office and tried to dissuade me from
entering the case. AS to the other
charge, of influencing certain wit
nesses in this case, because | happen
to represent them in legal capacity,
nothing could be further from my
mind as far as any testimony to be
taken in this case is concerned. That
is not my way of practicing law. That
is all 1 have to say"
Renews Objection.
Attorney Dietz for the defense, in
arguments to support the affidavit of
objection. reviewed in detail the Vas
der Beke perjury charges and de-
clared that from his relations already
sustained with Attorney Haas would
be absolutely impossible for him to
testify in this trial without fear.
1T isn't fair to these defendants to
put a witness on the stand on such |
material points as will come from Mr.. |
Wander Beke under these circum- |
stances
In his decision to allow Attorney |
Haas to assist Prosecutor Wood, Judge |
Graves declared the affidavit object |
ing To the appointment nowhere gave
that the particular witness
es had testified falsely, to with refer
ence to any matters of this case or
were likely to.

Had Been in South Rock
Island Since 1882.

Remains TO Be Brought Here, Funeral
Being Held From Residence

Henry Stephen Case. who without
doubt was the oldest person born in
rock Island county. died last evening

ert McEachren in Omaha The re-
mains will be brought here for burial.
arriving Thursday morning at 10
o'clock and the funeral will be held
from the Case home at Twelfth street
and Eighteenth avenue at O'Clock in
the afternoon
Mr. Case succumbed to ailments in
cident to advanced age, he being in his
SIND year. Two years ago he closed
his home in South Rock and with his
daughter. Miss Edith, went to Omaha,
having lived at the McEachen resi-
deuce since. His health during this en-
tire period had been poor.
Mr.. Case was born Nov. II, 1892, on
the farm which continued to be his
home till the time OF his death. He
was a son of ]. II. Case. who came here
in 1929 and who associated with Judge
John w Spencer in laying out the city
OF Rock Island, having owned and plat
ted the tract known as Spencer &
Cases addition, lying between First
and Eighth avenues and Seventeenth
and Twenty-third streets. The Case
family at one time lived in Black
Hawks wigwam and the head of the
family was a warm personal friend of
the chief The Case farm comprised
half section of land just south of the
city limits west of Seventeenth street.
Was a Gold Seeker.
Henry Case at the age of is went to
the Pacific coast in quest of gold and
remained in California and Nevada
for four years This and the two years
Just past were the only ones when he
was not an actual resident of this
county. A short time after he return
ed home. in 1854. he married Miss
Anna Elizabeth Frost, who died after a
few years, leaving two children. Mr..
Case later was again married to Miss
Jane E. Hanna, who died about a dozen
years ago.
The principal occupation of Mr.. Case
was farming. though he conducted q
brick yard on the old home place for
many years as a side line and was at
one time interested in steamboating,
having had charge of a boat on the
Mississippi when that stream was the
main artery of commerce in the central
west. For nearly a score of years he
had led retired life.
The two daughters named are the
only surviving members OF the family.

claims that he never saw his
assailant before and that not word
was exchanged between them last eve
ming. He is unable to explain any mo-
tive for the assault.
The police on the other hand believe
that the conductor is not telling all he
knows. They have learned that in
stead of having boarded the<car at the
Rock Island station the two men got
on at Twenty-seventh street. They be
lieve that there was some enmity be-
tween the passenger and the conduc-
tor.
The theory that robbery was the
cause for the act is entirely discrediteS
by the police. as they claim that if
such had been the motive, the men
would have waited until the car
reached a place traversed by fewer pc
destrians.

IN BOLD ASSAULT
BY UNKN0WNMAN
Passenger on Car Uses Stool as
Weapon as Car Stands
Near Market Square.
NO MOTIVE DISCOVERED
Victim, Bruised on Head by the Blow,
Was Total Stranger to Him.

A passenger on a Fourth avenue car,
which was unloading passengers at
the corner of Second avenue and Sew
enteenth street at 10 o'clock last eve
ming, assaulted Sam Meyers, the con-
ductor of the car, who resides in this
city, using a stool as a weapon.
The conductor was stunned by the
blow, and when he regained his senses
his assailant was fleeing north on Sew
enteenth street, and was soon lost in
the railroad yards on the river front
A police officer was on the scene
moment after the assault, but the man
had disappeared. What the motive
for his act was has not been learned.
Meyers told his story to the police
this morning. He said his assailant
and another man got on the car at the
Thirty-first street station of the Rock
Island railroad When the car stopped
at Seventeenth street several passen-
gers got off. the two men departing
from the car last.
Strikes Blow With Stool.
The assailant, according to Meyers
story, got off of the car with his COM
panion, and as the motorman was
about to give the signal to the con-
ductor to go ahead, jumped back on
the rear vestibule, grasped a high
stool used by the conductor, lifted it
in the air, and brought it violently
down on the conductors head.
Meyers attempted to ward off the
blow with his arm, but succeeded only |
in breaking the force. A deep cash |
was inflicted on his forehead. and he |
was badly bruised about the head and |
face.
People rushed to the car, and an Off |
Ger arrived almost Immediately, but
the assailant was gone, and since has
not been found. He was man nearly
