Determined that the men who were in
dicted Wednesday by the Cook county
grand jury shall have the best possible
defenders in court, the council last night
arranged to retain Attorneys Short and
Olsen. two of Chicago's. best criminal
lawyers. An ordinance appropriating
the re-ainer fee was passed without hes
itatior by the aldermen and it is under
stood that prominent citizens of the
Illinois town have asked 10 be permitted
to pay the further costs of the defense.
Attorney Markham. after trying all
day to secure the release of the two
officers on bond. returned to West Ham
mond yesterday evening with the infor-
nation that the profered bail had been
refused He believed he could secure
their release today on writ Of habeas
corpus and expected to hav ethe men
out before noon.
Mr.. Markham says that after the first
matter had been thrown out of the court
of Judge Kersten. the assistant states
attorney had Immediately taken the mat
ter before the grand jury, summoning
as witnesses a number Of men who had
fed from Columbia hall Immediately
after the killing. Other witnesses, which
might have thrown some light on the
officers' side Of the affair. he says were
not examined, but the indictments we're
returned upon the evidence submitted BY
the machinists alone.
1t seems that a large fund has been
raised by the union men Of Chicago and
vicinity to assist IN the prosecution of
the case The union men have hired
Attorney Clarence Darrow and another
prominent lawyer to aid the assistant

Of the most bitterly fought cases in
years and the selection of jury will be
a long drawn affair owing to the labor
angle which has been introduced and
which may prejudice jurors one way or

Kosmala and Spencer to be properly
defended in court but the responsibility
was accepted GLADLY. We must defend
