his f1nal objective against an enemy

During latter stages of the at

forward and urging them on, by
cheering and similar efforts. He did
this at great personal exposure. Capt.

When the movement started the

Holds Theory Untenable.

Even II this theory as to the men
engaged in the construction could be
tenable, the lawyer declared, there
could be no joint obligation between
them and the public official charged
with the inspection, nor could the
other defendants whose duties arise
under contract be held to have as
sumed the obligat tions OF the public
inspector or be held criminaliy re-
sponsible for the acts of the public
officer.
Mr.. Garnett asserted that if under any
circ- instances 1t could be held that in
the erection Of large building tfde-
pendent contractors and public lnspec-
tors were bound by any such joint OBJ
legation as is alleged in this Indictment,
then the attempt to build such .strllc-
lures would result in another tower OF

Men Under Indictment.
The accused are Reginald ". Geare,
architect; John H. Ford. iron work
contractor: Donald Wallace, foreman
for the building contractor; Richard
G. Fletcher, in charge Of the cement
work. and Julian r. Downman, an
inspector in the Office of the District
building inspector. The theory of the
Indictment is that all five rlen were
engaged in a joint venture of gigan-
tic proportions. and knew the object
and use for which the building was
iT tended, and each was under obliga-
tfon to see that the work of the other
had been performed properly. They
failed to erect a building which would
stand, and also failed in their alleged
duty to notify the owner and the
public that the building was unsafe,
1t is alleged, and thereby became re-
sponsible for the collapse and the
consequent death of the patrons OF
the theater.
Attorneys c. B. Garnett and John s.
Barbour. appeared for Mr.. bowman;
Attorneys George P. Hoover and Bar
torney W. c. Sullivan for Mr., Wal
lace and Attorneys Ellis & Ferguson
for Mr.. Fletcher. Former Justice Dan
Thew Wright, representing Mr.. Geare
was detained in a trial before Jus
tice Hitz and will make his argument
next, Wednesday.
Lawyer Attacks Indictment.
Attacking the indictment on behalf
of Inspector bowman, Mr.. Garnett
declared that to sustain the theory
of the indictment the court must hold
that each man contributing to the
erection of the structure should be at
once an architect and responsible for
the architects errors; fabricator of
steel and responsible for his errors;
an engineer acquainted with the fur
nishing and erection of hollow tile,
brick, stone and cement ana respon-
sihle for the errors of the contractor
who did this work: capable builder;
capable pourer Of cement; a capable
superintendent, capable inspector
and responsible for the errors Of each
of these classes.
Under this theory" said the law
yer, conviction could be asked of a
fabricator of the steel for the roof on
account of fault committed by the
man who constructed the founda tion,
though the fabricator of the steel may
have never seen the foundation nor
the man who constructed it. 1t would
even be possible to convict the man
who painted the interior. for the err
rors of the man who fabricated the
roof or for the faults of the archi-
tect.'

WRECK AT MARTINS MILL

Franklin Nickles was taking a
party of friends for a spin up the
Martins Mill road Friday afternoon
and travelling at moderate rate of
speed when some one in the back
seat called his attention and in look
ing back for an instant lost control
Of the car and drove over an en-
bankment or fill about 20 feet deep.
The car turned completely over
twice landing on its wheels, crush
ing the top and breaking other parts
of the machine. Franklin had his
hand cut, severing an artery. Frank
Neuffer rendered first aid, tying the
wrist with a handkerchief and twist
ing tight with a stick until the flow
of blood was stopped. Happoldt
Neuffer was cut in the leg and Miss
Doretta Smith received cut on the
arm. The other members were badly
shaken up but not seriously injured.
Franklin Niekles, Frank and Hap
poldt Neuffer, George Smith, Bill
Cox and Fletcher johnson had taken
Miss Doretta Smith and her sister,
Miss Leone, from the hospital to the
railroad station where Miss Leone
too kthe train, the party then took
ride. The accident happened just
this side of Martins Mill. After the
wreck the boys walked to the Beck
with home for aid, John Beekwith
making two miles muleJback to the
Sutherland home to telephone for a
doctor and back in five minute. Much
excitement prevailed among the
parents in town, but the boys got off
pretty light. Fletcher Johnson's CHIEF
concern as he crawled out Of the
wreck was that he couldn't get home
to drive the cow home from the pas
ture, and Bill Cox lost the seat out
of his first pair of long trousers, that
he had only worn three days, which
is somewhat of a calamity these
times.
