KRUEGER MAY BE

ARRAIGNED UPON SERIOUSJHARGE Prosecutor Waits Verdict of Coroner Bond Before Taking Final Action. Prosecuting Attorney Gath Free man announced Thursday morning, that there was little doubt but that Dr. F. W. Krueger, a local physician, would be prosecuted for his acts with reference to the throwing of a newborn child on the city dump Monday afternoon. He is awaiting the verdict of Coroner Bond before he takes action. "One of two charges will probably be placed against Dr. Krueger," Pros ecutor Freeman said Thursday, "he will either be charged with murder, or he will be charged with assault and battery with intent to kill. In order to obtain a conviction on a charge of murder, It will be necessary to prove that his act In treating the child as he did, was the cause of its death." Coroner Bond refused to make any statement regarding the negligence of Dr. Krueger, in caring for the child, although he said that the child might have lived for a number of days, had the proper care been taken. Might Have Lived "The unusual vitality shown by the Infant, In going through all the exper iences of that day, lead me to believe that it might have lived for some days, with proper care." Dr. Bond said. "The body of the child, as shown by the autopsy conducted yesterday. was fully developed, the only malformation being the absence of the upper part of the brain. The child was a monstrosity, but it was an unusually well developed one." At the request of the parents, the body of the child was buried by a local undertaker, and the expense of the burial was paid by the family, township or other public aid being refused. "I am planning to make a close and careful Investigation of all the facts in this case, and cannot make any statement until my verdict is filed, which will probably be tomorrow," Coroner Bond said Thursday afternoon.

The gong reftly saved him from defeat In this round for with his right eye closed Dempsey knocked him down or threw him helpless against the ropes seven times. Dempsey thought he had won when the gong sounded and bad to be brought back into the ring. Wlllard towered above his antagonist like a light house over a tug. but acted like a sick man. He was defeated and knew it; he swung wildly while his relentless antagonist Jack Will Win If Jess Doesn't, Says Old Owl; Other Sports' Opinions What does the city think about the Willard-Dempsey championship fight at Toledo, Ohio, Friday? Here are the opinions of some Richmond fans on the outcome of the bout. Elmer Eggemeyer: Jack Dempsey looks mighty good to me, and I am expecting him to come through.

Mayor Zimmerman: I can't see any reason why Wlllard will not win. He Is the man that will do the trick. Linus Meredith, county clerk: Jack Dempsey has two points in his favor his age and his speed but I don't think they will amount to much against the champion, and I look for Wlllard to win. Harry Holmes: Willard will win, and I can't see where any one can figure otherwise. Old Owl (Special): Unless Demp sey is knocked out, he will go the full twelve rounds of the fight, provided he doesn't give Willard the sleep punch before that time. Dempsey will win unless the fight is called a draw, or Wlllard Is given the decision. I am putting my money on thrift stamps and Liberty bonds, they always win.

Jack,

poured blows like a great riveting machine. Cries of "Stop it, It's murder," were heard. Jess managed to last to the third round and fell Into his corner where he was given spirits of ammonia. He revived and tried to smile and said: . "In the first round when Dempsey put me out with a left hook I tried hard to continue but I .was losing my strength. My' eye was closed at the end of the third round and I realized It would be useless for me to continue as I could hardly see. It is hard to admit defeat but Dempsey is the hardest puncher I ever faced." Dempsey said: "I told him I would knock him out in the first round and to all intents and purposes that is what I did. He took a lot of punishment In the next two rounds, but was so feeble that I hated to continue." MAIN STREET BRIDGE CONTRACT LET TO SMITH Structure Complete for Foot Traffic by Cold Weather, Contractor Promises. Contracts for the completion of the Main street bridge were awarded by the Wayne county commissioners on Thursday to Isaac E. Smith. Smith's bids, which were the only ones received, were $93,000 for the comple tion of the bridge structure and $11,000 for the pavement of the roadway. The total cost for the completion of the bridge is $104,000, or $4,000 under the estimate made by the bridge engineer. The bridge will be finished with ornamental concrete railings, instead of stone railings as originally planned, owing to the increased cost of stone. According to the bridge engineer, the cost of stone has advanced to about 200 per cent of the cost in 1916, and with the present price, the use of stone for the railings would be prohibitive. Will Put Work Throuah The use of concrete in making the railings will not depreciate the quality or the beauty of the bridge, according to the engineer, as the concrete con struction will be much stronger than that made of stone. Smith promised the commissioners and the publlo that the bridge would be near enough completion to allow its use for foot traffic, before cold weather. "We are planning to put this work through in the quickest and best way possible, and I feel confident that the bridge will be completed In the least possible time," Smith said. "I Intend to have the bridge opened for foot traffic by cold weather, if it is even necessary to use some temporary railings, while the permanent railings are being built. TROOPSHIP ARRIVES.

Twenty-seven notes have been re ceived by the peace conference from the Austrian delegation since May 22 Eight have related to the Klagenfurt section; six to Methods of procedure growing chiefly out of the Austrians' desire for an oral discussion; seven have related to - boundaries, one to prisoners, one to diplomatic consular agents, one to the regulation of imports and exports and three have been devoted to the Status of Private properties.
