RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1911.

WINNER WAS A SKINNER; JURY QUICK TO SEE IT.

The showed quite conclusively that the automobile deal was a fraud' and that the Bank of Southern Illinois was to some extent familiar with the business methods of the “Winner Manufacturing Co.’’ The defendants to the Action were not present, but were represented by Attorney George A. Williams, while Mr. Kresel was represented by Attorneys Parkinson and Dunlap. A deposition of the defendant was redd and was quite conclusive that there was a connection between the Southern Illinois bank and the company that sold the automobile. It showed that there really was no “Winner Manufacturing C 0.,” but that that institution whs entirely etherial. The cashier of the Southern Illinois Bank had endorsed the “Winner Manufacturing Co.” very highly in a circular advertising the Winner automobile, but under oath he testified that there was really no such company to bii knowledge, but that the Century Manufacturing Co. occasionally had some credits in the bank from sales made by the so-called Wlinner company. It was shown that the Century company did not manufacture anything itself, but conducted a mail order business, that its offices are in the same block with the bank

and that the president of the bank owned the building in which the Ceiitury offices were located and seemed to have other connections with the company. : f • > It was shown that the automobile was represented in circular to be a real winner, guaranteed first class in every particular. It was shipped from bill of lading which was attached to the draft on Mr. Kresel came from St. Louis. The Southern Illinois bank had credited the Century company’s bank account with $255 thd'same time the draft was made. The caßhler of the bank said that the bank would look to the Century compafty to make good the $255 in case the court sustained the plaintiff In the suit brought here. ..

The prompt attachment of the money collected through the Rensselaer First National after Mr. Kresel discovered that he had been ddped was all that saved for him the $255. The jury quickly saw through the fraud scheme and were not lqpg in arriving at a decision in favor of Mr. Kresel. The money will now be returned to the plaintiff, but tbe litigation will probably cost liim a considerable part of it. He is also out the $l5O which he sept to the company when the car was ordered. f The clear evidence of fraud on the part of the Century Manufacturing Co., which used the name “Winner Manufacturing G 0.,” entirely for the purpose of deciet, would seem to warrant some Investigation by the federal authorities. ' The transaction should serve to make people who do business with mail order houseß a great deal more cautious and they will generally find out that better values can be procured through local dealers in whatever they handle.

The Marion Chronicle says: “It seems that the killing of the seven-year-old ' girl at Madison, Wis., was another saloon victory. The fiend who did the job had been drunk for two months. He got up at night with a crazy thirst for' another drink. Ha had no notion at the time of harming the child or hSr family, but moved, as he says, by ‘a devilish impulse’— the result undoubtedly of tbe crazed condition produced by intoxicants sold under tbe protection of tbe progressive State Of Wisconsin —he took the child from her bed, pounded her to death and threw the little body into a lake. When one contemplates the things that happen as the result of the liquor traffic it is easy to understand why some people want saloons to help the cause along/* Ellis Theatre, Our Stock Co. in Hearts of the Blue Ridge, Saturday, Sept. 30. | ■; ' ’■..

ATTENDED WAYNE FUNERAL AT MEDARYVIĹE SUNDAY.

Rensselaer. The families of Robert Drake, Wash and Simon Cook and Charles Bussell, of Hanging Grove township, aißo attended the funeral. Mrs. McGinnis was 23 years'of age and her husband a year her senior. Their baby was a year old. The bodies came from Colorado Springs by express pnd the caskets were opened upon arrival. The bodies were badly mangled and unrecognizable except for- the clothing and some identification marks. Mr. Wftyne was the

most mangled by the blow from the as> used in the six murders. He hadbeen stuck across the face and head and it was all mashed ip. The wife and child had, been struck more in the back of the heads. Owing to the condition of the bodies the burial took place Sunday morning and the funeral was not until that afternoon. All three bodies were placed in the same grave, a cement vault constructed for them. The burial and funeral were largely attended and members of the Modern Woodmen lodge were there In large numbers.;- Mr. Wayne was a member of that order and carried SI,OOO insurance. It is expected that this insurance ban be collected by this widowed mother of Wayne. *; ?

Relatives at Medaryville telegraphed the officials at Colorado Springs to ascertain if Wayne had any enemy there who might have com-, mltted the terrible crime. They were informed that he had. not but seemed to be on good terms with everyone. The murderer of the Waynes andMrß. Burnham and her two children has apparently made his escape, as no evidence has been procured to link the name of Burnham with the crime The motive is also a'mystery. ■ Qf the removal of the Waynes from Medaryville to Colorado Springs the. Advertiser Bays:’ ' V Frank Wayne went to the Modern Woodmen Sanitarium at Colorado Springs about nine months ago, he being threatened wltb tuberculosis. From the very beginning the treatment and the climate seemed to bene fit' him and he gained steadily in weight.

Wanted to Be Bare to Hold Hubby Number Three.

The officers of the thumb-print bureau were just wishing for something interesting to turn up, when a telephone message offered timely diversion. A woman was speaking. “Do you make prints, of anybody’s thumbs except criminals?” she asked. The bureau did. “Well,” said the woman, “if I come down right away with a man will you make a print of his thumbs?” The bureau would. The man and the woman came. ...' ” “W;e wapt his thiimb prints for identification,” said the woman. “We are going to be married tomorrow. ,He is my third husband./ The other two ran away and I had the hardest kind of a time to flfid them because there was no sure way of identifying them. They say thumb prints never change and that a man cap* 4e tracked to the ehdß of the earth. I hope I shall never have to use them, but it is just as well to be on the safe side. Will you make them?** The bureau did.—New York Sun.
