TWO HELD TO COOK CO. GRAND JURY f Continued rrom Ptct t.

kidnaping at the hands of Henry Foss, the blood ran cold In the veins of those "resent. Etm the half doien doctors who were at the hearing must have befrun to realize the tragedy of the dives, as they looked up'n Frankie Ford and Carrie Arnold, human derelicts, who were the victims of the conditions which have existed In West Hammond for years Owing to the fact that the city hall was too small to accommodate the crowd, the coroner's hearing: was held In Helns' hall on State street. There were several hundred persons In the hall. The hearing began at 10 o'clock and was continued until 9 o'clock In the evening. Purine that time two stenographers took every word of testimony. The witnesses who were heard dur

ing the twelve hours of the inquest were: Miss Virginia, lirooks. David! Brorkoway of Ie Motte, Carrie Am- j old. Helen Lotier, Frankio Ford-I'ark--er, I.ule Epple and her mother. Ada VnnderMlt. cooks In the Foss resort; I Tr. Andrew Huffman and Kugene Pavis, the bartender in the Foss resort. Henry Foss himself was placed on the

stand and frequently became confused. The coroner's Jury was composed of the following: Stanislaw Klawitter. Arnold R Krzyrzanowski. Otto Knott, August Brosell ;nd Chnrles Pumfs. It was they who rendered the verdict which resulted in the holding on $10.000 bonds of Henry Foss and Frankle Ford. One remarkable thing about the testimony of Frankie Ford is the fact that, although she has repeated her testimony on four separate occasions, she has not changed her story in one important particular from that which she first told. The comedy was Introduced into the

proceedings by David Brockoway of Do Motte, a raw country boy, who for one brief day was tinder the influence of the "vampire woman." and the story he told on the stand was Doth humorous and tragic. farmer ("anf Kun. He told about spending the night with Frankie Ford in the "hunkle bunk" nt Thayer. He said that she gave him a short of morphine and that he "laughed his head orr for four hours and then became deathly sick." This supports the belief that Frankie Ford not onlv had a mania for, morphine herself, but that she had a mania for shooting it Into others and then watching its results. This will probably be the charge against her in her hearing before the grand Jury. The Jury was out fifteen minutes Just" long enough to draw up its findings. The, decision was productive of some trouble in the large and mixed crowd had assembled for this wlndup of the coroner's investigation. Followers of Miss Virginia Brooks, the girl reformer, who Is responsible for the village's vice war, were there '.n plenty, and greeted the findings with cheers. In addition there was a plentiful representation of the element which resent3 the prosecution.

Hissing outbreaks were promptly suppressed by the many deputies Coroner Feter Hoffman had stationed about the hall and what appeared to be inevitable trouble was disposed of In the nick of time. Foss denied he knew anything about the death. He said that, although he had taken a "dope" kit away from the Ford woman, be returned It to her and at the time of the death of Messmaker he did not have such an outfit in his possession. , Kittle Clark, a former inmate of the Foss resort, first witness, said she had first entered the place a few days before the death of Ksther Harrison. She was questioned regarding the use of morphine by girls In the resort. "I saw two red marks on the arm of Ksther," she said, "and she told me

Frankie had given her some morphine." , Following the death of Messmaker, the Clark woman said, she had heard Foss accuse Frankie Ford of killing him. "Frankie said she had merely shot some water Into his arm," she .said, nenlen "Black Bottle" Stories. Kittle Clark also denied stories of a "black bottle" at the Foss resort, and said she never had heard of any one being robbed or drugged while in the place. Eugene Davis, bartender at the Fofs place, went on the stand and established the existence of Jealousy between Messmaker and Foss over the Ford girl. He denied the "black bottle" story. Mrs. Helen Lotior, Mrs. Ada Vanderbllt and Mrs. Lulu Eppel were other witnesses at the morning session. The widow of John Messmaker was present at the hearing. Henry Messmaker was present at ttie hearing. Henry Foss, the dlvekeeper, was an interested hearer as each witness testified. Miss Brooks assisted the coroner in examining the witnesses.
