INMATES OF FOSS DIVE HELD AS WITNESSES.

Dissolute Women Tell Stories that Fasten Two Deaths on Daughter of Roselawn Citizen. There are no new developments of especial Interest connected with the crimes that have taken place in the heirHbles in West Hammond. Last Sunday Virginia Brooks, the young lady who is delving into the corrupt tion in West Hajnmond, accompanied by two detectives, visited Roselawn to look up the record of “Frankie” Ford, whose maiden name was Ethel Baxter. They learned that she had been raised in a good home by Christian parents, but had become unruly when very young and had caused her parents much shame. Her mother was a good Christian woman and died when Ethel was only about 17 years of age. Ethel had no shame, it seems, and the most wretched stories are related by Roselawn people about her conduct. She became a dope fiend soon after leaving home and is now regarded as mentally affected. Helen Lapere, who was wanted as a witness to testify about the occurrences at the Foss dive, surrendered herself to Miss Brooks in Hammond Tuesday. iShe was a waiter in the Foss resort and told that she served drinks to the patrons of the place. She will be taken to Chicago to be quizzed by the police. Another witness, Kittie Clark, was located in a dive at Gary. She told about the sick-' ness of Esther Harrison at the Foss (live. She thinks it was the morphine shots by the Ford woman that caused her death. She blamed the Ford woman also for the death of Messmaker and said Frankie had told her that she gave Messmaker four or five “shots” during the night. Gradually all the dissolute characters who occupied the Foss joint at the time of the deaths are being rounded up and will be retained at witnesses. So far no evidence has been procured to couple Foss with the crime. He knew what was going on, however, and has given the authorities what trouble he could to get information. He can probably be prosecuted for a number of minor offenses.

Growing Impression That Newman Met Accidental Death.

The funeral of George Newman, the carpenter, was held at the Christian church this Wednesday morning and burial was made in Weston cemetery beside the graves of his mother and sister. Rev. Winn conducted the service. Not many were in attendance, owing to the fact that the deceased had few intimate acquaintances putside of the mechanics of the community, all of whom were busily employed. Coronor Wright, who was at first convinced that Newman had suicided, has now about decided that he met accidental death, William O. Newman, of Oklahoma City, brother of the deceased, stated that George had a peculiar habit of playing with the pistol. He would frequently take it out of his pocket or trunk in the evening and examine it. It is believed that this was the case this time and that it was discharged by falling to the floor or that he accidentally pulled the trigger. It seems almost incredible that he could have got himself into the position he must have been in when the shot was fired and have done it intentionally. He was a good, clean man, with no bad habits and nothing to cause him worry and the impression has grown that death was due to the accidental discharge ployed. Coroner Wright, who was at that it is a peculiar thing that many bachelors have revolvers. He states that he has had occasion several .times during the time he has been a conorer to go over the belongings of bachelors who have died suddenly and that he frequently finds revolvers among the property. He- believes it is a condition of lonesomeness that prompts the acquisition and that they find some companionship with one of the treacherous little instruments. This death should be a warning to those who possess firearms to use every precaution against accidents and to those who do not have them to steer clear of buying them.

Ditcher Fell From Auto And Fractured Left Arm.

George Booth, a ditcher who lives on the Carl Sternberg farm south of Rensselaer, suffered a fractured arm Tuesday evening. He ha’s been helping tlfrashers stack hay and was on his way home when William Washburn came along in his automobile and gave him a ride. He wanted to get out near the farm residence of W. M. Hoover and Mr. Washburn offered to stop but Booth said it was not necessary and that tte could jump off while the car was in motion. Mr. Washburn slowed down almost to a stop and Booth, who had a pitchfork in his hand, jumped off backward and was thrown to the ground. He jumped right Up and started toward the Hoover residence and Mr. Washburn did not think he was hurt and did not stop. A call for a physician was sent from the Hoover home and Dr. English responded and found that the large bone of the left arm just above, the wrist was fractured. The bone was set and Mr. Booth was taken to his home.
