and that has been one of the

Two Injured, 100 Hurled
From Seats in Morning
Collision.

More than one hundred pass
engers on two street cars were
hurled from their seats and shaker
up early today when a Brightwood
car skidded into the rear of an E
Washington car at Alabama and
Washington Sts.
Two injured passengers were
taken to city hospital
Frank Purst, 10, Of 1910 S. Key
stone Ave-, was injured on the legs
and John Patterson, so, of 1904 E
Washington ST., was injured on the
back. He later was removed to his
home.
Both injured were among five
passengers standing on rear plat
form of the E. Washington car
stopped to unload passengers. Pat
terson was pinned in the wreckage
under large beam.
There were about forty passengers
on the Brightwood car and sixty on
the E. Washington.
Patrolman c. Brown, c. w. Will
son, G. Taylor and Gezas just had
alighted from the Washington car
and aided in freeing Patterson and
clearing the wreckage.

week.
Close Of the case was rapid. The
defense introduced only four wit
nesses, including Walb. The de-
fense rested early Thursday after
noon and Judge Lindley allowed
each side only one hour for argu-
ment. This was completed at 4:2O.
Action Is Rapid
The courts instructions lasted
until $40. The jury was back in
the courtroom and the whole pro-
ceedings over before $50. The court
had instructed the jurors to return a
sealed verdict and report at 9:30 this
morning, but the decision was
reached before the judge and at
torneys had left the courthouse, so
it was received instanter. s.
The trial started here Monday
morning. The Government rested
its case Wednesday after Weaver
withdrew his plea of not guilty and
took the stand against the CO.
defendant
The evidence covered illegal trans
actions in the bank from 1922 until
it was closed by bank examiners Oct.
27, 1927. The evidence showed that
the men had placed the names of
wealthy La Grange County citizens
on the notes that Walb might take
cash out of the bank for his per-
sonal account.
That of the Walb Construction
Company, and the La Grange Hard
ware Company, of which he was
part owner.
Admitted False Entries
Weaver admitted signing the
notes and making false entries in
the bank books to hide the short
ages from bank examiners, he also
confessed to using part of the money
to finance the Better Service Com
pany, of which he was part owner.
Before the defense rested its case,
a motion for a directed verdict of
not guilty was filed. 1t was based
on the contention that the govern
ment did not show the defunct bank
was a member of the Federal Re-
serve system.
Judge Lindley reopened the case
to admit this evidence and the mo-
ton was Cverruled.
