COURT FANS GRADUALLY DROP AWAY;
ONLY SALACIOUS TESTIMONY APPEALS

The broadened influence brought
about by the growth Of the city which
makes the citizens pay less attention
to the affairs OF their neighbors, Is
causing the death OF the general in
terest In court proceedings.
A few years ago, 1t was often Inn
possible to find a seat in the first
few rows of the court room gallery at
the court house. Every day there
were old men. young men and women
who apparently worried not over the
morrow except that they have seat
near the jury OF the next case to be
tried.
Now many cases are tried with only
the witnesses present and often the
witnesses stay no longer than requir-
ed. A few scattered individuals may
be found who are known as "seat
warmers" to the bailiff and sheriff
The old guard who did not care what
case was slated next. has died out.
Occasionally. few Of the old time
"seat warmers" stroll in. Most of
them are old men who have retired
from business, often retired farmers.
They are interested in any kind of a
case and will listen to dry testimony
and the repetition of questions and
answers all day.

CHIEF FREES SCOTT
OF TAKING PART
IN LATE ROBbERIES

Although he said Edgar Winslow,
the young negro burglar under arrest
In Muncie. had charged In his confess
sion that Harry Scott, a Richmond
colored man, had accompanied him to
Springfield and Dayton to dispose of
loot secured here and in other cities.
Chief Goodwin declared today that in
his opinion Scott had not been guilty
OF any criminal action or intent
Il think Winslow's Implication of
Scott Is lie," Chief Goodwin said.
"The fact that Scott called the police
when Winslow, who had been board
ing with him, attempted to leave the
city SO that he could collect an I'm.
paid board bill is, in my opinion, an
indication that Scott did not know
Winslow was a thief. II he had such
knowledge it would be hardly proba.
Bile that he would have called the pc.
pice into the affair. Officer Gully
found Winslow at the traction station
and arranged with him to leave his
suitcase with Scott as security for the
payment Of his board bill. 1t is not
true, however, that Gully examined
the contents Of the suitcase, which
was afterwards found to contain a
number OF stolen articles"

THROWS AWAY CIGARS

A fastidious thief, after pilfering
two boxes of cigars from the grocery
store of E. c. Reynolds, 1418 North
E street, threw them away in an alley
last night when he discovered they
were "twe-fers." The man opened the
rear door with key. He only took
the cigars and a few pennies.
Most of the recent robberies have
resulted from the careless practice Of
not locking doors or failure to provide
locks that are difficult to open.
Possibly people do not lock their
doors or do not put secure locks on
them so that it will not be necessary
for burglars to break in the DOORS"
Sergeant McNally commented today.

disturbances, have ben gathered at the
Central Charity bureau by Miss Bas-
sett of the Eariham faculty.
A map was marked with the location
of the deaths in the five years. It
shows that ignorance of child care and
feeding runs in neighborhoods.

bureau, districted the map to deter
mine the relative mortality from diges-
tive disturbances in each section.
There were eighty-thre deaths.

had lost.

BOARD MAJORITY IN
FAVOR OF PURCHASE
OF AN AUTO TRUCK

With the belief that the labor un-
ions OF Richmond do not understand
the existing situation, Commissioners
Anderson and Doddridge announced
this afternoon their determination to
vote in favor of advertising for bids
for an automobile truck to be used on
county roads. The unions opposed
such action because they are against
the working of prisoners on the roads
The situation on the board was
strained. Commissioner Cheesman re.
fused to alter his opinion and marked
his ballot against the purchase. The
union did not bring their remonstrance
to the board up to late hour The
commissioners said the truck is nee
essary as a part of the road machin-
cry, whether prisoners are used or not.
Commissioner Cheesman took a stand
against prison labor on the roads.
