But the fact that Lawrence
changed his name did not prevent
reports from being circulated from
time to time, blaming him for out
breaks, instructions and rebel
lions in many countries, sometimes
simultaneously.
At one time, after the war, he
had to 60 aboard with Winston
Churchill on matters concerning
British affairs in the east. The
French government, he said, at
first, refused to let him cross
France.

A MOTHER time, Lawrence was
IA blamed for stirringup trouble
in Afghanistan. He was with the
air force in India at the time.
The government stood it for as
long as possible, all the while ridi-
culing the rumors that Lawrence
was behind the trouble. In the
end, Lawrence was recalled to
England.

According to Kegreis' report fol-
lowing the crash, Mrs. Groves auto,
without stopping at Madison ave-
nue., struck an auto driven by Har-
ley Brown, 80, of $50 West New
York street, injuring Barney Grove
and Miss Constance Newlin, a nurse,
riding with Brown.
Taylor testified he and Kegreis
arrived on the scene shortly after
the wreck.
WAS Mrs. Grove drunk?" asked
Deputy Prosecutor Edward Brennan.
She Was Drinking
"She was drinking. I wasn't so
close to her as my partner was"
Taylor replied.

was he drunk?"
"He was standing out in the
crowd. I couldn't see him walking
because of the crowd"
was he drunk" the Judge asked.
"He wasn't paralyzed drunk, but
/ could smell liquor on his breath. :"
A few minutes later, when Barney
Groves case was under considera-
ton, the judge asked:

ney Groves breathe"

breath, Taylor replied
Stump Their Attorney
Albert Stump, Indianapolis attor-
ney and ayowed prohibitionist, rep
resented the Groves.
Kegreis took the stand.
"Was Mrs. Grove dru1k?" Bren-
nan asked.
"I'll say she was.
did she stagger?" asked Judge
Cameron.
"she did when we were taking
her to the police car"
Did you smell liquor on her
breathe" Brennan asked.
In a low voice. scarcely audible
five feet away, Kegreis said "Ne."
Didn't Know
After the crash Kegreis told The
Times that Mrs. Grove was pretty
well lit" and didn't know whether
she was in a taxicab or patrol
wagon
Did you notice that Mrs. Grove
had bump on the head, and a
cut which could have made her
stagger, and her unsteadiness might
have been due to that blow on the
head?" Stump asked, on cross
examination.
Yes"
When Brennan rested the case
Stump moved to discharge defend
ants because there was no evidence
of failure to stop at Madison ave-
nue., and because no one had seen
her operating the car under the
influence of liquor. The court sus-
tanned the motion.

GRAND JURORS
TO PROBE BUS
BILL CHARGES
Investigation of Alleged
Fraud in Passage Is
Ordered by Court.
SUIT CITES LAWMAKERS
Four Legislators ConSpired
to Enact Utility Measure,
Says Civil Action.

Marion county grand jury probe
into the alleged conspiracy which is
said to have resulted in House Bill
s, regulating bus and truck trans
portation. being signed by Cover
nor Harry G. Leslie In a different
form than first passed by the sem
ate, was ordered today by Criminal
Judge Frank p Baker.
Basing his directions on charges
contained in suits on file in circuit
court to prevent publication of the
bill by Frank Mayr Jr., secretary OF
state, Baker instructed that If they
found "any one has violated the
law, indict them" The. complaints
we're filed by Muncie and Indian
apolis city attorneys.
Under the bill, as signed by Les
lie, control of BUSES and trucks
would be vested entirely with the
public service commission. The bill
originally provided for municipali-
ties to have authority of regulation.
Clause Stricken Out
This clause was stricken from
the bill when finally passed and
the plaintiffs alleges four senators
and others conspired to effect pas
sage of the nutilated bill during
the rush and confusion Of the last
hours of the 1891 session.
Named in the superior court suit
are: Senators John G. Sherwood
of Mitchell, Republican, and j.
Francis Lochard of Milan, Demo-
crat, and Representative William
B. Conner Of Indianapolis, Demo-
crat, and James NJ. Knapp of Hag-
erstown, Republican.
Dick Heller of Decatur, clerk OF
the house of representatives also
was named in the suit, it being al
legged that the senators and repre-
sentatives, members of a conference
committee, had procured him TO
carry note to the senate saying
the house had CONQUERED in the
measure.
Would Have Become Law
"You will observe, gentleman.
that but for the discovery of the
fact that the certification of the
passage of these measures was
false, the measures would become a
part of the laws of the state of
Indiana" Baker said.
''TheSe charges are Of such a
serious nature that they can not
be overlooked. If these things may
be done, the law of the people can
be overthrown and government is
placed in the hands of men desper-
ate enough to attempt to control it.
1T strikes at the very foundation
of government.
81 instruct you, therefore, that
you at once enter into an investi-
cation of these charges. If you find
any one has violated the law, indict
them.
Insists ON Evidence
"Shield no one. Keep in mind,
however, that you should bring no
indictments without evidence to
support the same. Reputation is
too precious to be snirched BY mere
suspicion.
Il suggest that you call as wit
nesses, the attorneys who have
written the complaints and appeared
in the court, and that you call be-
fore you, representatives of the In
dianapolis newspapers and such
other newspaper representatives
who covered the legislature during
its recent session.
81 shall give names to the pros
ecutors of some witnesses whom I
desire be called before you"

Aid in Mind Reading

WITH only watch and pencil you can
~ give clever exhibition Of mind reading in
the following way:
Request some one to think Of any number
that is found on the face of the watch-any
number from 1 to IL. Then ask him to add
1 to it every time you tap the face Of the watch
with the pencil until he reaches 20, when he
must notify you Tell him that by the time he
reaches 20 you win have read his mind and be
able to announce his number without asking
any questions.
To do this you can tap any number on the
face Of the watch for the first taps, but at
the eighth tap strike IL; at the ninth, IL; at
the tenth, 10, and so on around the face of the
watch from IL toward /. When you are
stopped by the spectator who has been counting
to 20 your pencil win be resting upon his
chosen number.
A little experimenting viii show you how this
works. Suppose the number 10 had been
chosen. Your hrst random taps take the
spectator, adding for each tap to IT, On
the eighth tap you strike H. on the ninth IL
and ON the tenth 10, the chosen number. It
always works.
