Deputy Prosecutor John *fTrles announced following the trial tat the three women would be incted by the grand jury as soon as at body convened. Meanwhile the/" ill either be held in jail or released h*avy bond on charges of perry.

Wb«n the cam was called John Grandson, colored, took the stand for the at* anil testified that he had puriaaed liquor from Taylor in a saloon

Thirteenth and Hulm&n 'htreeta. He that he had paid $1.25 for five "4nkB of whiskey, which was served o«n a quart bottle takes from Tayr's pocket. He said that one glass a* used to dispense the drixtka, and uU all drank from the same glass, .e testified that each of the three girls 3d a man named Waiter Pinkston, •k*red, had been in an automobile irty. and that the girls had been icked up at the Fen Murray place, i the west end. ,He said that following the purchase the liquor at the Taylor place a ip to a north end roadhouse was tade, where a pint of gin was pur1 lased. He said they returned, intendi£ to visit the Murray place, when a ^legation of policemen were seen tJdlng a west end place and they hured back to the east side.

Carrie Conley, called to the stand, wore that she had not seen Taylor nd that all of the liquor drank had een taken from a bottle on the side•alk at the side door of the saloon, he said that the other girls drank the quor but she did not touch it.

Mary Brad^n said there .had been o liquor served by Taylor. Fhe said aat he served soft drinks to them in back room. The evidence was so onfiicting that Prosecutor Jeffries ireatened to send all of them to jail, ^harg^ with perjury, when Attorney

Quadtree started to raise' an objection. Judge Paul R.% yhafer stated lainly that he believed the girls were cing. and that they should be sent jail on a perjury charge, regardless th° fact that they had been called s -witnesses by the state. Pinkston. he other member of the party, could ot be located, but a statement made •y him to the police officials and igned by htpi will be used as evTaence .hen the perjury charges are brought

o trial. A statement prepared by Sergt. Joe

who led the raid on the Taylor lace, and signed by each of the five nembers of the party, tells the same iory. and the story is identical with he one wsorn to by Grannison on the vitnrss stand. Grannison was released 0 appear when wanted, and efforts to .ocate Pinkston are being made. Tayor*s case was appealed to Circuit Court mder a $500 appeal bond.

POLICE FORCE SHRINKS OTHER JOBSPAY MORE

Continued From Page One.

part they have large families depending upon them for support and the high cost of living has driven them from the force on account of the low salary paid. Many of th'e men make less than ?3 per day, and they cannot live on that I cannot grant leave of absence to the three who have applied for it on account of the already short force. I do not know what we are going to do."

At present the force, including the captains, detectives, sergeants, chief and sanitary officers, consists of 64 members, and at least five more of them will have resigned or granted leaves of absence at the end of this week. Mayor Charles R. Hunter some time ago said that he would put the four sanitary officers out on a beat if a shortage prevailed.

Firemen Also.

A. recent petition to the council for an increase in salary ranging on a 5 to 60 per cent increase was filed with the common council but was rejected, as was signified by the approval of the city budget for 1919. which does not call for raises among members of th'1 police or fire department. The fire department members, by the way, M&vc taken no steps as yet and no applications for leaves of absence have been heard of, but it is a known fact that they are dissatisfied with the wages they are now receiving, and their petition signifies that they intend to take some sort of a step to earn more money in the event of their failing to secure the raise asked for.

At fire headquarters Tuesday it wa^ said that Mike Hines. who has been n fireman for twelve years, resigned this week to take a firing job on the Big Four railroad.

Two or three firemen also have taken leaves of absence to work at other jobs which pay more and it wac said that Chief Bvinger^is considering issuing an order preventing any more leaves and recalling those now off duty

Robert Day, of the Two's, is another fireman of long service who has resigned within the past few weeks. He took employment on government work at the Standard Wheel Works.

NOW LIEUTENANT KECK.

EJugene Keck of Terre Haute, wrote the Tribune Tuesday that he had been made second lieutenant at Camp Sheridan, and this without attending the officers' training school. Keck served on the Mexican border and has rapidly advanced in the service.
