The motion for a new trial was made mainly on the grounds that the plaintiff had not proved the items of value of the personal property destroyed, The court held also that the defendant had been placed at a disadvantage through the fact that its evidence had been submitted piecemeal because of unsatisfactory interpretation. Rong Mye sued for $7,065.55 damages for losses sustained when his restaurant was destroyed at the time tho buildings at 112-114 H. Michigan et. collapsed. The jury returned a verdict for $2,177.77 plus interest from the date of the collapse of the building to the day of tho verdict. '

Sensation is Sprung in Trial of Mayor Bell at Indianapolis. Cross-Examined by Defense. SALOON KEEPER SAYS HE RECEIVED THREAT Would Be Put Out of Business if He Did Not Contribute. Tells of Talk With Chief of Police. INDIANAPOLIS, S'ept. 29. A stormy scene between state and defense attorneys followed by the injection of a dash of spicy testimony enlivened the proceedings in Special Judge Kichhorn's court today soon after the Mayor Hell trial was opened. Charles W. Clark, who several days asro testified for the state, was recalled to the witness stand for examination over the vigorous protest of Special Proa. Joseph Roach, who Jumped to his feet and contended that Clark could not now be recalled for cross examination and asserted that tho defense shall call him as one of their own witnesses if he were again to testify. The court permitted the cross examination, however, and Clark told, in substance: That on the day before he was first called as a witness Special Investigator Claude Worley, of the county pros ecutor's oltice, came to Cumberland, j where he was working for a telegraph j company, brought him to Indianapolis J in an automobile belonging to Krnest Roeder. saloon keeper, and one of the defendants in the conspiracy case who has pleaded guilty and acknowledged perjury before the federal grand jury. Clark further said he was taken to tho prosecutor otflce where he was placed in custody of a mau named Wilson, who afterward took him down town, purchased him a pair of trousers, took him to motion picture shows, and, restaurants, and later returned him to the prosecutor's office. Later. Clark said, he was taken to a hotel where a woman came to his room and offered to occupy it with him freo of cost as everything had been arranged. Tho next morning, according to Clark. Wilson called for him and took him to Pros. Rucker's office and later that day he was placed on the witness stand. The defense at the outset of the trial promised to show that county funds were used by the prosecutor's investigators to entertain prospective witnesses in various ways which they alleged wero irregular. The testimony of Clark created the biggest sensation thus far sprung at the trial. Immediately on the announcement by the defense that Clark would be recalled for cross-examination, the special prosecutor and Asst. Adams held a whispered conversation while Pros. Ruckcr riveted his eyes on Clark. While Defense Atty. Miller was examining Clark, Roach interrupted him and a brisk exchange ensued. Atty. Ryan suggested that if Roach was "going to throw another tit, he should get outside." Roach retorted: "Wait and see who throws a fit when this case is over." Argument is Squelched. Judge Kichhorn squelched the argument by ruling that a witness might be examined at any time until the state rested its case. Clark made a general laughter in the court room when he said that he was shown the bill of expenses for his entertainment by Fred Wilson and that it included a bath which he did not get. He acknowledged, however, that the woman "furnish! him" stayed with him for "about '.wo hours." Theodtro Stein, jr., county clerk, followed Clark on tho stand. lie said he remembered a man named Clark who voted in the eighth precinct of the third ward, but failed to identify the witness ahead of him as the man he saw. Joseph Lnne. saloonkeeper, who claims he was told he would be put out of business if he did not contribute to the campaign fund, testified (CONTINUED ON PAGE THREE.)
