Dropping into, -good red English, Himmelblau is just a plain liar; HE SWORE TO A LIE WHEN HE TESTIFIED FOR DEAN AT CROWN POINT OR HE SWORE TO A LIE WHEN HE TESTIFIED AGAINST DEAN IN CHICAGO. 1 Could anything' be simpler? As to the charge that, Himmelblau was bribed to perjure himself It is up to Mr. Dean to show how clever he is. Honestly, we would cautiously
recommend to the friends of Himmel

It's a mighty peculiar thing that any strong man should be a beggar or "out

his big too sticking through the leather of his shoe, and his stomach as empty as a hasheesh smore's brain, who

We'd rather think of the thousands of
pages of advertisements in the big newspapers very day, put there by business men who have found that the harvest is plenteous and the laborers

The supply of gas for a heater In the millinery 'store of Mrs. Clarlnda Brehm was suddenly shut off, and an investigation proved that the rubber connecting pipe had been gnawed in two. evidently by a rat.

We suppose there is nothing to do
when you see a beggar but to give
him money. Otherwise it is morally
certain that he will starve or steal. Besides it is a credit to the warm
hearted world that there are tramps and street corner solicitors. They
furnish positive evidence that men
are generous, for if men were not generous there would oe no beggars.
When a man begs on the street
corner he proves thereby that the
heats of people are more tender than
their brains; for their brains have led
them to build the poorhouse, the ac
commodations of which, as Mr. Scrooge once suggested, are ample
enough to meet all requirements.
THE BANKER'S TESTIMONY.
Some of Alderman Walter E. Gib
son's friends are quite agitated over the Himmelblau affidavit and allege
that it was the Himmelblau testimony
that sent Gibson to the penitentiary.
Such is not true.
The jury in the uibson case con
victed Mr. Gibson largely as the result of the testimony of the Chicago
banker who testified that Gibson signed the reecipt for the safety deposit box in the Michigan Avenue bank. That was the deadly, damning
evidence in the Gibson case.
These people also seem to forget
that besides Dean and Himmelblau
there were a number of reputable Gary j
citizens, including business men and
bankers who heard the dictograph con
versations. If Himmelblau' s affidavit is the truth then these men are per
jurers too.
To the average man who gives the
matter any thought the Himmelblau
affidavit will have little bearing on the
cases in the future. The affidavit of a
confessed perjurer would not amount
to much.
