Hetzke.

she said, was laughing all the time. This testimony was corroborated by two or three other women who were with them. Mr. Haartze, the man who lived on the same floor, in the rear of Hetzke. said that about 11 o'clock on Mondav nitrht ha was awakened bv cries of "Oh, papa! Oh, papa!" he also beard the sonnd of blows.

He went and knocked on Hetzke's door and said. "Mr. Hetzke, you mnst top thai" The noise then oeased and he heard the bov sav the ten commandments. He then went back to bed. About 7 o'clock in the morn ing he haafi more blows and cries, and knocked at the door asain and told Hetzke that if ha did not stop beating the boy rhe (Haartze) would re port him to the police.

He heard no more, and" later told Mrs. Wilke snd the other women what bad happened.

The cause of tys going awav the last time was that be had been accused or swung a dollar, be lady upstairs had put a dollar on the stairs for the milkman and it had disappeared. Bhe asked Max if he hid seen it and he said no, but she said he must nave taken it, and told his rather.

Max bad waited on the corner ofQWood and Augusta streets until Bonnie came out of school, and then told him of it and said he was going to run awav again. Officer P. F. Loftua. of the West Chicago Ave nue Station, said that on Tuesday morning about 9:30 o'clock, ha and Officer Ryan were sent to No.

When they saw bis condition thev arrested Hetzke. Loftns found a strip banging on the back of a chair and took it to the station.

In the presence of Officer William Love, he asked Hetzke if that was what he used to beat the boy with, and Hetzke told him- it was. Dr. H. N. Hover, the County Physician, said he had held a postmortem examination on the body and it was his opinion that the boy's death was the result of the beating.

The jnry found the following verdict: "We, the jury, find that Max Gil-mann eame to his death from shock and iniuriee received from a strap in the hands of August Hetzke, and we, the Jury, recommend that said Hetzke be beld to await the action of the Grand Jury."

He had nothing whatever to do with it It was learned that Kennedy had been employed at Lincoln Park as a policeman, and had been discharged for bad conduct Senator Garrity was absent from his saloon, but Martin Welch, the bar-keeper, who was an ye witness, stated that the shooting was purely accidental, and that Kennedv could not have told the story published without being put up to it by the enemies of Garrity.

In Chicago and who said bis name was Wilson, The men arrived in town in the evening, and Jackson went to a hotel near the depot At 8 o'clock he met Wilson at the depot and the two men went to Andreas' Garden on the North Side. Here they met two stylishly-dressed ladies and began to drink, Zuckerman was unused to drink and the liqnor had a great effect on him. Boring the evening there was some talk about watches, and Wilson offered to lend Zuckerman f4 on his watch.

The offer was laughingly accepted and the transfer waa made, The women anally suggested that it was time to go home, and Zuckerman and Wilson offered to escort them. After going a few blocks the eonnlea separated and Zuckerman was taken bv the hulv be was with to a place he describes as an elegant wnite stone bona He was mucb intoxicated and his companion said she would provide him witn a room tor the night, and he was shown to a well-f urniahed room where he went bed.

Hia socks were white on top, but so muddy on the bottom that Bell thought Zuckerman wore pump He questioned the strange looking individual and finally took him to the Central Station, where he was so dazed that he could not tell his story.

It cost $600 Campbell, an old gambler, designed it and had it patented. It is similar to a faro box in which the cards are dealt by an intricate mechanical device instead of human fingers.

Skakel made lota of money out of it for there waa 40 per cent advantage lor -tne noose," ana ne never accepted beta lees than Skakel is indicted under the habitual criminal act, and if found guilty he will have to pay 500 fine and be locked up in the County JaU lor six montns, POSTPONEMENT PROBABLE. Alexander Sullivan and Mr. Brown, of the firm of Beck with Brown, the counsel of the defendants in the omnibus boodle case, spent several hours yesterday afternoon with State's Attorney Grinnell disputing over the abstract of the evidence given in the bill of exceptions. fortunately tne disputes were not of a very serious character, and were settled, almost soon as raised, by mutual compromise. The task was not completed when supper- time arrived, and will have to be resumed this morning, when a few hour additional work will complete the examination of the bill of exception The document will then be taken to Judge Jamison, who win take nia turn or axaminine- tne doenmnnt This last examination can hardly be completed before Monday or Tuesday, and, as a consequence, the Judge will have to give the defense another extension of tune in which to file the papers with the Clerk of the Appellate Court, as the twenty days before granted expires today.

It is not probable, however, that the extension will be for more than two or three days. The grounds on which the defendants ask for a reversal of the judgment of the court below, are, as Alexander ttuuivan puts it, objections to pretty nearly everything that baa been dona in the case, from the indictment down to the conviction. The case, when it reaches the Appellate Court, cannot be heard on argument before the March term of the court, though a supersedeas may be granted any day if the court sees tit to do so. The Edward 8. McDonald cane will be beard about the middle of next month, HE SAW M'GARIGLE, A gentleman from St Catharines, In Chicago an business, says that our missing warden.

William J. McGarigle, is still in the vicinity of Bt Catharines, living in a little village some six miles towards Buffalo. He saw McGarigle on the street there a few days ago, and says that be noticed little change in him. The interest in the bath-tub escape seems to have died eut in Chi euro recently, and the close watch that was nrst kept on the boodler nas oeea dropped. it is probable, however, that some parties are still having aa interest in aliasing mac." THE POLICE KNOW NOTHING.

A dispatch from Wichita, to Tn Iktzb Ookak yesterday told the tale of a presumable murder of Gordon Lyman there. His body was supposed to have been thrown into the Litue Arkansas River, as on the bank blood, a razor, a jack-knife, a memorandum book, and a letter" from Nora in Chicago to ber "Bear Gordon." From the letter it wonld be presumed that Gordon had been forced to leave Chicago on aacount of some trouble, but that "the league' bad held a meeting on Nov. 11 and ware going to try andLde something to rvt Gordon to a back. Inquiry at the polioe headquarters failed to find any officer who knew of any man named Lyman who had figured in thoir reports aa "wanted." The police records do not seem to be kept properly indexed so as to convey immediate information as to missing men. The leading detective agencies know of no Gordon Lyman and the name is not in the last two Chicago directories.

A di snatch from Bt Charles. Canada, states thai James Balrymple, a grocer of that village, has been traced to Chicago. He left a wife and family behind him and took, according the dispatch, $8,000 tiiat did not belong to him. The police and detective agencies know Poth'Pg about the case, MISSING GIRLS. Blanche: Mother" distracted: come borne; all forgiven.

The above is one of a number of "personals" of the same kind that have lately been very noticeable in the daily papers. If they go on increasing Chicago papers will soon have to print 'agony column" as long as that in the Lon don Time. A gentleman said yesterday: "This has been a good week for mysterious disappearances of young girls from Chicago. Five have gone and their relatives have been inquiring for them. No one knows where four of them have gone, only that they are gone, I can not give their names to the public now for they are liable to turn np, bnt if some books were ooen to the public eye there would be a sensation.

Five girls were reported aa missing and not ha vie ft left a trace of their whereabouts behind. Two of these came from the South Side, two from the North, and one from the West Side, All go in good society and they are in fashionable circles. None of them knew each other or moved in the same sets, though au were young and attractive. There msy only be high-toned elopement or two, but 1 fear not One of the five eame back, after her people had been greatly Idistreseed, bhe bad gone to St Louis with a young man. MRS.

KIDDER'S CASE. The victim of "faith cure" excitement, Mrs. Margaret Kidder, was declared insane yesterday in the Court of Insane Inquiry. Br. Clarence W.

Leigh, of 267 North Clark street in testifiying, said: "Mr. Kidder sent for ma about a week ago. Mrs. Kidder was walking up and down ber room and wanted to see a Christian science doctor. Everything she did waa in the name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost.

Fart of the time she refused to talk and wrote what she wanted to say. She palled down the chandelier one night Another time aha held ber band tinder the hot-water faucet and scalded herself badly. I think she is insane." Alden B. Kidder, ber husband, said: "I am sure she is insane." lira Kidder: "I have my senses just aa much as you hare.

Her voice is sweetly modulated, her face gentle in expres sion, and her manner composed. Hteppmg inside the bar after witnesses were through, she said to Dr.

Mover, tlie County Physician: "May testily, pleaser" "No," replied tne doctor, and Mra Johnson, accepting the answer, said to a company of ladies who came with her: 'Faith cures are no more than the spirit of God making physically well the person who trusts Him uu and relies with perfect faith on Him. Mra Kidder was helped by ma She had a bad liver and I prayed with her and helped her. I calmed her down once when she came to me wildly excited. Mm Kidder is a very sensitive woman, easily overcome, and with an unbalanced mind." Mr. Kidder to a reporter said hia wife had been very much interested in religious work before site met Mra Johnson.

Mra Kidder was declared insane by the Jury. REFERRED TO INSPECTOR BON FIELD. Constable Sam Myers disturbed a quiet little game on the second floor of Nos. 188 and 190 South Clark street last night, and arrested H. P.

John boarded a Garfield avenue car last night at 6:30 clock, Tha vehiole waa crowded, and Mr.

Bunder was ruthlessly jostled in close to the well-fed proportions of Mr. a. A. Adams, a suburbanite witn a wealth of diamond shirt studs and a superfluity of watch chain. So rich a chain must of neces sity have a time piece of value at 'tother end.

Tha faplt of this lies, not with the Lard Mayor, who- is happily unconscious of tha discoaifort eiperir enced by his invites, but in tha fact that from time immemorial, the whole arrangements of the feast have been in the hands of the same caterer, who expects to make the and unlawful profits by his tender, and who be- comes annually more rapacious and unscrupulous from immunity.
