Jurys long dehberation as probable
conviction on charges of manslaughtcr.
". J. McAlcer. OF Hammond. repre-
sented the defense.
sal was on trial for the killing OF
KaIman Ivan, shot down in SAILS home
December 10. during liquor party. At
the time Of the shooting tho motive
for the staying Was attributed to
sudden ft Of jealousy on SAILS part
who resented the too familiar attitude
BY Ivan in dancing with SAILS wife.
During the trial it developed that
the woman, Rebecca Dare. had never
been married to Sal. It was believed
that the state would use this fact ia
breaking down the legitimacy Of SAILS
apparent jealousy. This, however, was
ignored by the prosecution.
Immediately following his acquittal
sal was embraced with touching affec-
tion by his common-law wife. A wave
of pity swept the court room the
woman with a cry OF delight rushed to
the arms Of her man as he turned

Attorney McAleer based his plea for
acquittal on testimony of Sal who said
he didn't know the gun that he pointed
at Ivan was loaded. Another witness
testified that he had loaded the revol-
yer the day before and placed 1t in its
Gust tomary place in the bureou draw,
This he did he says because he was
afraid of burglars. The defence plead
ed also that Sal committed the acs
While under the influence Of liquor.
Mr. McAleer introduced a number OF
important character witnesses. Some
OF these were high officials of the
Standard Steel Car Co.. who verified
the excellent character OF Sal, both as
workman and husband. Other Ham
mond business ben were placed on the
stand as character Witnesses also.
