WDULD TAKE WILL CASE FROM JURY1

Atty. Meyer Alleges Wheeler Jurymen Talked With Witnesses For Defense. The jury w hich has een hearin r the Refcecca Wheeler will content suit In the circuit court may never be jriven an opportunity, to pass upon the merits of the case. A motion to set aside the submission of evidence on the grounds that three jurymen conversed with three waitresses in the case was filed by Aty. F. J. Iwis Meyer Friday. On the ruling of Special Judge MacKib-bln on this motion depends whether the Jury will he given a chance to decide the validity of th-i will. Froperty valued between $60,000 and $100. COO Is involved in tho Hg itgation. With his motion Mr. Meyer filed four affidavits made toy himself, Benjamin F. Berger, Watson Wykoff, and Gretta Baer, who witnessed tho klleeed conversation between wltleses and Jurymen' A hearing on the motion was set for 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. The defense asked time In which to examine the motion and the affidavits in order to file counter affidavits to offset the allegations made by the plaintiffs. In the event that the motion is sustained by special Judge MacKibbin a new trial will be ordered. Ihe case has already occupied the ttention of the court for a period of two weeks anl nearly BO witnesses have been examined. All the evidence had been Introduced and the court was ready for tho fin.il argument when Atty. Meyer brought forth his motion, which for the time being, put the preceeding at a standstill. The- jury has been dismissed .tntll Monday. Meyer Springs Surprise. When cojrt opened Friday morning, Atty. Meyer sprang his boomerang. It came a a bolt out of a clear sky. He made a verbal brief asking that the submission of evidence be set aside, on the grounds that the three jurors had held conversations with two defense witnesses and one witness placed on the stand by the plaintiffs. Edward Beutter, Center township. Hiram Crowl and Harry Metzger of Harris township are the three Jurors which Meyer charged with holding conversations with the witnesses. He alleged that Beutter talked to Otto M. Knoblock. who is a devisee under the will, regarding whether or not he (Knoblock) was going to bring his cow out to pasture on his (Beutter's) pasture. Meyer iys further that Knoblock made the reply, "I don't know," intimating that the witnesses' decision might be based somewhat on the outcome of the suit. Harry Metzger Is alleged to have talked with Nora Young Hummelberger, another devl?ee under the will, while Juryman Hiram Crowl is charged with holding a conversation with Solly Duffln, a witness and one of the plaintiffs. Cites Decisions. In making his verbal brief Atty. Me$-er ild that he did not feel justified in attempting to make any argument in consideration of the many clients he represented before a jury on whom there rested the least suspicion or uneasiness. In support of his statement, the attorney cited a number of supreme court cases bearing on circumstances similar to those that are alleged to have happened during the course of the trial here. In the cases cited by Mr. Meyer, the supreme court granted in each instance a new trial. One decision that was read spoke about the Jurymen boarding at a restaurant, whose proprietor was a party in the action. Although nothing was said in the restaurant concerning the cause being enacted, the higher court granted a new trial because of a suspicion and certain uneasiness being thrown about the minds of the Jury. "It may be." said Mr. Meyer, "that Mr. Knoblock' conversation with Juryman Beutter consciously or unconsciously influenced the latter's mind. The same may be true in the other conversations." Seta Hearing For 1:30. Special Judge MacKibbln granted a recess until 1:30 o'clock for time in which to allow the plaintiffs attorneys to file a written brief, and also to secure affidavits of those who are said to have peen and overheard the alleged conversations between Jurymen and witnesses. The court said that the charges brought were very serious, and plenty of time should be given in which to allow the plaintiffs to submit their evi dence. Ben Berger, it is said, was one of those who saw the Jurymen and witj nepses talking Atty. Meyer said he would secure affidavits from other persons who saw them talking. TllKEE TAKK KXAM.

WETTICK IS FREED IN ASPERIN CASE

(CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) what the tablets were to be used for nor did he Identify himself. "Did you buy any other drug in the Wettlck store," asked Atty. Pyle. "No. I did not." replied Cohen. "Did you buy anything but asperin in any of the other stores." Cohen shifted in his seat nervously and replied that he "could not remember." Cohen denied that he had ever had any correspondence with the Bayer Mfg. Co., the concern which holds the selling rights for German asperin in the United States. Atty. Ple pointed out that Inspectors under the national pure food and drug laws are required to identify themselves and tell the druggists that they want to analyze their goods before they can buy for such purposes, and asked Cohen why he did not pursue such tactics. He tried to explain that druggists would evade the law if he acted In ruch a way in making his investigations. Ha said that the head of his department, Mr. Barnard, instructed him to buy asperin In South Bend, stating that spurious asperin was being manufactured. Tell of Analyst. Mr. McAbee testified that he analyzed the tablets brought him by Mr. Cohen and found them to contain sallcytic acid, acetanilide, milk, sugar and starch. Asperin he testified, consists of acetic and sallcytic acid. He admitted acetanilide was similar to acetic but stated that the mixture he found in the Wettick tablets would not produce asperin. As to the effect upon a patient he could not state. He also admitted that milk, sugar and starch was used as a basis for many tablets but stated not In such quantities as was revealed in the Wettlck tablets. McAbee also declared the Bayer Mfg. Co., the Squlbbs wholesale drug company and the John D. Park wholesale houses were all reputable firms and admitted that goods he purchased from them he considered good. Mr. Wettick went on the stand, produced bills of lading showing his purchases of asperin during the past six months from the John Parks drug firm. It was explained that this concern acts as Jobbers for the Bayer Co., and all asperin was labeled either from the Bayer concern or from the Squlbbs concern, which Is a subsidiary to the Bayer Mfg. Co. He said he had bought asperin from the John Parks company ever since the drug has been on the market. He denied buying from peddlers, though stating that such peddlers are frequent callers, but sell the majority of their goods to physicians. Jjandon on Stand. Mr. Landon explained that he had formerly been a salesman and later worked in the department of experimental medicine for the Park Davis wholesale drug company. He explained that milk, sugar and starch were considered the standard basis for all tablets, stating that few medicines can be made into tablets without such a basis. In his closing argument Atty. Pyle pointed out that he did not believe the state officials were acting in good faith in the prosecution of the South Bend druggists. If they were he declared, they would have told the druggists what they wanted the tablets for and would have gotten to the root of the alleged evil. "If these tablets are bad it is the fault of the company from whom they were purchased, not the fault of the druggist. You cannot cut down a tree by tearing off a leaf. If the state reall wishes to stop this violation they should go to the root of the evil. This prosecution has byen a suspicious affair from the start. If you find this man guilty you can run every drug man out of town. It Is not necessary for a man to analyze his goodü when they are purchased from reputable concerns which are under the Jurisdlctloa of the federal Inspection." FINE SUSPENDED WHEN HE PROMISES TO LEAVE Edward Colby, charged n';th intoxication, pleaded guilty in city court Friday morning and was fined $1 and costs. The fine was suspended when Colby promised to get out of the city. It was alleged that Colby prevailed upon certain people here to furnish him with money for food and lodging and then took the money and purchased for himself a "drunk." Arthur Butler also escaped with a suspended fine, while Jack Kowalski was fined $1 and costs. Martin Flowers. 516 W. Division St.. charged with pointing a revolver at Elda Galloway, will be tried on April 7. The charge was made by Charles Evans, against whom Flowers testified in the house of ill fame case earlier in the week. NEW GIANT COMPANY TAKES LAKE STEAMERS International News Service: NEW YORK.

PRISONERS DIE Bf THE THOUSANDS Publisher Says 30 Per Cent of Men in Siberia Will Die. International News Service: VIENNA. March 31. "Less than 30 per cent of the hundreds of thousands of German and AustroHungarian soldiers and civilians who have been carried to Siberia will return alive after the war 13 over." This positive statement was made by Dr. Friedrich Meyberg, a publisher of Lemberg, who recently returned to his native town after 15 months of terrible suffering In a prison camp at Shiganska on the Lena in northern .Siberia. With many other prominent citizens of Lemberg Dr. Meyberg was carried off by the Russians when they took possession of the Galiclan capital In the first stages of the war. Early in February of last year he reached Jakutsk, with several thousand other prisoners. From there he and his fellow sufferers wero sent north over the frozen Lena to Shlbanska. a distance of about 300 miles, In a temperature often 30 de grees below zero. Many of the pocrly clad prisoners died from exposure on the way and hundreds of them were sick when they reached their destination. "There were about 7,000 prisoners in the camp on the Lena," tho publisher says. "Their lot was awful. They received only scant supplies and there was no medical care for the sick and wounded. "About 20 of the unfortunates died dally during the months of April and May and matters became still worse when the terrible Siberian summer began. An epidemic of typhoid and swamp fever broke out and the death rate was more than doubled. "In August conditions bcame a little better, but up to Oct. 1 when I at last received notice that my exchange had been agreed upon and I was started on my way to Jakutsk and Europe, over 3.000 of the prisoners had died. "Fifteen hundred others were in a hopeless condition and I fear that few of them are alive today. "And Slganska tis not the worst hell in (Siberia, " Dr. Meyberg says In conclusion. "From prisoners whom I met on my journey to the Roumanian frontier I learned that conditions are still worse in some of the other prison camps. I repeat that when the war ends and the exchange of prisoners begins, it will be found that not 30 per cent of the soldiers and civilians sent to Siberia are alive."

French Still Hold Positions on Outskirts of Ruined City. International Ne-s Serrice: PARIS, March 31. In a fierce night attack the Germans captured Malancourt, th French war office announced today. The assault was delivered upon three sides of the village. The French retired, but still hold a position on the outskirts of Malancourt proper, which is now a mass of ruins. Malancourt is about six and onehalf miles northwest of Verdun on the west side of the Meuse. It Is about a mile and one-half west of Bethlncourt. The Malancourt-Beth-lncourt line represented the apex of a salient which the French maintained In the German front despite the violent attacks of the crown prlnc west of the Meuse. The text of the communique follows: "In the Argonne we repulsed two grenade attacks directed against our positions north of Avocourt. "West of the Meuse the bombardment of Malancourt redoubled In violence during the night. The Germans launched a series of mass attacks, debouching from three sides, simultaneously upon the village, which formal an advanced salient in our lines and which contained a battalion of our advanced posts. After a sanguinary battle which lasted all night and which cost the enemy considerable loenes, our troops evacuated the rulnn of the village, of which we still hold the outskirts. "East of the Meuse the night passed quietly. "In the Woevre region the Germans made three attempts to capture our works to the east of Haudlomont. All their attempts were repulsed. "On the rest of the front there was no important development." The infantry assault on Malancourt was preceded by a violent bombardment. Beginning yesterday the German artillery increased its cannonade up to the thunderous rill of drum fire and long Into the night the big guns continued to rain their steel upon the "French positions before the infantry' was hurled forward. As the troops advanced the range of the German cannon was lengthened they openeJ up a curtain of fire behind the French ranks. The Teutons rolled forward in mass formation, wave upon wave of men. Overhead the sky was lighted with star bomos. The Germans lost heavily and the French, rather than incur needless sacrifices, voluntarily evacuated the village.
