Conviction in the election cases may bring a penalty of nineteen years, this being the highest that can be imposed on the four counts. The penalty for the first count is ten years, for tht second five years, and for each of the third and fourth counts two year:!.

All the defendants returned home Saturday night to spend Sunday, being ordered by Judge Anderson, as he adjourned court Saturday evening, to report again at 9:30 o'clock Monday morning. Judge Redman, Hilton Redman, Alex Steele, among a number of the defendants, carried their satchels and suitcases with them to the federal building Saturday afternoon to make a run for the first train which left Indianapolis shortly after the adjournment of court.

The costs of the election investigation and trial haVe been greatly exaggerated by newspaper reports. Witnesses before the grand jury and the court are allowed ?8.70 for one day's services, $7.20 for mileage and $1.50 for attendance. If detained beyond one day their only additional allowance is for per diem. The government doesn't stop at the item of expense, however, in Investigating any alleged violation of the federal laws.

During the cross-examination of om of the witnesses Saturday by Percy Williams in the interest of one of hi.clients, Mayor Roberts arose from hit seat and leaned over to hand Williams a pad on which the mayor had written something. The attorney glanced at the writing and continued his examination without pausing.

Representative Stanley in his cross examination of Charles Kaufman, one of the afternoon's witnesses who had testified to something regarding Joe O'Mara, continually pronounced the defendant's name "O'Meara." He had better not go up into "Rabbit Town" and call one of the O'Mara boys "O'Meara" if he wants to preserve his standing up there as theii' friend.

During the examination of Frank Briddick, who testified to having a fight with "Tip" O'Brien at Precinct of the 'Sixth ward, Stanley had some difficulty in getting the straight of the affair. Judge Anderson interrupted him to say, "This wasn't the tight you were talking about. This is another fight." The fight started when a. man challenged by the republican challenger went on into the voting place. Briddick testified that he laughed, and said to the challenger, "It did a lot of good to challenge that man," to which O'Brien said, "'What the h—1 ha.ve you got to do with it," and smashed him in the jaw. "Slim" Hickman seems to have been the only man that was turned down at 3 a 1 1 a

The Answer to Your Clothes Question

You are doubtless reading,', these days, many advertisements concerning' clothes bij' type and small type. You have been appealed to in plain figures and plied with "wonderful reductionswhich you may have discovered exist oft times only on paper.

Sidelights of Fraud Trial in U. S. Court

Joe Strouse, one of the defendants, got iiito the white light for a second or two Saturday afternoon. It was during the examination of Fred Piker, who had given his residence number on South Second street and said he lived in precinct C, First ward. Strouse rose from his seat. in the rear row of the defendants and said, "Beg your pardon, sir, but he lives in precinct of the First ward, my precinct." "Rabbit Town" certainly had its inning in the federal court Saturday. A major portion of the evidence introduced during the day was in reference to the alleged election methods in precinct C, Sixth ward, which comprises the greater portion of that section of the city which years ago acquired the title Of "Rabbit Town." It originated lrom the fact that at one time that portion of the city was infested with rabbits, and many of the youngsters of those dciys, now middle-aged men, recall the way they used to chase rabbits around the old I. & St. L-. (now the Big Four) roundhouse and that vicinity. Billy O'Donnell a.nd Joe O'Mara, two of the defendants, are original "Rabbit Towners," and Joe O'Mara is still living in the house in which he was born forty-nine years ago.

Hilton Redman denies the truth of the story sent out from Indianapolis to the effect that he was ordered by Assistant District. Attorney Mangus to refrain from tampering with the government witnesses. The story Raid Mangus accused him of saying to "Dago" Finlayson, "Be careful of what you say." Finlayson having been recalled to testify in the case. The assistant district attorney was present in the court room when Finlayson was examined, but no reference wTas made to the alleged episode with Redman.

opportunity to work on election day. He testified that Holler shut the door in his face twice, while admitting the man who accompanied him.

The man "Slats" Surratt*1testified he took out with him on election day he said he had never seen before in his life, and had never laid eyes on since that eventful day.

Miss D-ora Burr, the trained nurse, who was one of Saturday's witnesses, and who said she had lived in Terre Haute "twenty-five years and up.r testified that "Spec" Mohan, one or the workers at Precinct C, of the Sixth ward, was inclined to look on the women watchers there as "chicken." A man swore in their presence once and "Spec" reproved him, saying "I don't allow any man to use profane language in the presence of my chicken." At another time she called him for iaying his hand on her shoulder, and he told her he "wouldn't harm a hair of her head for anything in the world." "Spej" is thinking seriously of entering the race in the Lord Chesterfield class with Jack Hines.

QLINTON, Ind., March 20.—Frank Posey, colored, who with the assistance of a colored woman known as "Black Vic," alleged to have niade away with $28 of cash belonging to an Italian named John Russo. Thursday night, was captured in Terre Haute by the police, and returned to this city, Saturday forenoon, and placed in the city Jail. The woman was arrested at Lyford, across the river from Clinton. She has made a clean story of the affair and says that she was with the negro when the thieving was done but received none of the money.

which the nurses moved about without any confusion. A pleasant visit was made to the sun room which was filled with convalescents. From here we were snov.*n into the x-ray room. The physician in charge not only explained everything thoroughly but two of the girls volunteered. The bony structures of their diaphrams and the heart's throbbing could be seen very plainly. When a deep breath was taken we could see the diaphram expand and contract. The physician also showed us some plates that he had taken with the x-ray of patients and he explained these impressions by telling the normal conditions and showing how abnormal the patients were.
