Knotts get a fair trial and. then were asked to sign the instrument. It appeared as though the lawyers for the, defense and the defendants themselves did not know from what angle to wage

the fight and are simply grabbing at straws until the prosecution shows its

head. None of the hilarity that was

"conspiracy" at Valparaiso was apparent on Saturday and from their appearance, the defendants, without exception realize the gravity of the situation. Judge "Van Fleet will render his decision as to the place of trial on next Saturday.

The Rabbi who resigned was Rev. Meran, and "Wolf Marcovich is the member of the con

gregation who has been subjected to discipline. The expulsion of Marcovich took place a few evenings ago, the occasion being the second on which he has been put out of the band of Hebrew worshipers who assemble each Jewish Sabath in the litl synagogue In Hemlock street, j. The first expulsion followed, it issld. hot words on the part of MaDvWlch toward Rabbi Meran In ""which the former is said to have Invited the latter to fisticuffs. Tie encounter between the two men it is alleged was responsible for th resignation of Rabbi Merai'. Following Rabbi Meran's withdrawal from the office of high priest of the congregation, there was a meeting at which it was decided to oust Marcovich. This was accordingly done, but according to reports Marcovich asked to be returned to membership and on his

promise to be good, he was once more taken into the fold.

Levin, which he sent to the Jewish Courier and which appeared later in that publication. The article It Is said contained may slurs which were resented by the members of the congregation.
