The supreme court today decided that the statements of a person under arrest, made while being “sweated” in the private office of a chief of police, were admissable against him in his subsequent trial for murder. Charles Laughlin was arrested about midnight and half an hour later was taken to the office of the chief of police at Fort Wayne, where he found several officers and a display of guns, rifles, and ammunition about the room. He was told he might have an attorney if he wanted one. but said he was willing to make a statement without advice, and did so. The trial court held that his statement was made under the influence of fear and refused to allow it to be used as evidence against him and he was acquitted. But the supreme court says that no sufficient reason for excluding rhe confession was shown.

One Hundred Dozen Although located in small quarters, the broom factory on First street is doing a large volume of business and the management is much elated over the steady increase of orders from various places.

As an evidence of the volume of business dune by this concern, we are informed that since the fifteenth day of November last 9,000 brooms have been turned out and with the exception of the one hundred dozen that are in stock, all have been disposed of. Five different grades of brooms are made al the following prices: 25c, 30c, 35c, 40c, and 50c.
