r' JURY STRIKES HIGH Owners of Buildings Rented to Panel-House Keepers to Be Indicted. THEIR NAMES KNOWN Many Prominent Citizens on the List of Land-lords. Are EXACT EXORBITANT RENTALS IUr(llt Revelations Arc 4a Be Mad Shonlif Haw Tkr Pr.lt fna the Proceeds of Robbery a ad Property-owners who rent their buildings to panel-house and dive keeper, may be Indicted with their notorious tenants when the grand jury takes up the Investigation of the resorts Infested with women thieves. The investigation will be made Wednesday or Thursday. Yesterday Detective Sergeant Wooldrldge Chief Klpley'a office was summoned before the grand Jury and questioned about the panel-houses and thieves' dive.

Officer Wooldrldge carried in his pocket the names of the property-owner who are the landlords of the most notorious resorts. This list Included the names of a number of prominent and Influential cltlsens, who. the police declare, Insist on renting their buildings' to well-known women thieves at exorbitant rentals. The detective read the list of names to the grand jurors, with the names of the tenants who kept panel-houses and thieves' dives. He was instructed to return to the grand Jury room later In the week with other officers, who can testify against the women and their landlords.

The result of Wooldrldge's next visit will most likely be productive of a sensation to -both business and social circles. Indictments against the landlords will bring out somo facta Quite distasteful to the wealthy persons owning property In the Levee district and renting It to thieves. The police declare that they have warned landlords against renting to the panel-house keepers, but that these warnings have been disregarded. The old buildings used for purposes of robbery are for the most part tumble-down shanties, which would bring less than 10 a month rent If used for legitimate purposes. According to the police the panel-house women pay from $50 lo $200 a month rent for these buildings, and the landlords are loath to part with them as tenants.

In some cases they are said to afford the women protection in prosecutions in various ways. Obstacles la tbe War- The officers declare that they have encountered all sorts of difficulties in learning the names of the landlords, as most of the business with the thieves Is done by agents. By going to the records, however, the police lave learned the name of each property-owner and this list Is now in the possession or Officer Wooldrldge. The investigation la begun by the grand jurymen. Members of the panel have listened to nearly 250 cases during the past eight days and 20 per cent of theee were cases In Which men had been lured into panel-house and dives and robbed- Summary action was decided on, It being seen that tbe- Harrison city administration was too thoroughly in league with the thieves to expect earnest prosecution by the police, practically under the control of Bathhouse Coughlln and Hlnky Dink Kenna.

In order to secure a statement of the present state of affairs Officer Wooldrldge was summoned. Having been asked for a list of divekeeper landlord by the October grand Jury, Wooldrldge was ready for yesterday's call and had the list In his Inside pocket when he entered the inquisitors' chamber. Will lie a Hard Blow. "Tbe grand Jury will strike a death-dealing blow to panel-houses, thieves dives, and all-night saloon before tula week I ended," Arslstant State' Attorney Sprogle said. "I cannot give out anything about the line of investigation a we do not want any Interference with our plans.

Suffice Is to say thai the action, will be an unexpected one and one which will have splendid moral effect." Despite Mr. Sprogle's attempt at secrecy it was common talk about the Criminal Court building that tbe landlords would be accused when the Investigation began and that ln- dlctments would follow. Tbe law provides that any landlord who knowingly allows his premises to be used as a disorderly bouse or for Immoral purposes may be fined an amount not exceeding $200. "Slicky" McMahon, who came into tame as the close friend and employe of the notorious John Hill, appeared before the grand Jury yesterday to testify against Sebastian Kainal. of No.

Berthn-Wegner of No. 197 Mozart street, who 1 said to be a detective, was with McMahon and testified against Kainal. No Indictments were voted against Kainal. DEROULEDE IS HELD FOR TRIAL.

Walker, in Judge Hutchinson's) court vesterdar. pointed to John Shulklns. the woman' brother-in-law, aa having caused tbe breaking up of the Hammond home andv Indirectly, the shooting of Mr. Shayne by the defendant now on trial. "Don't you know that yon were the snake In tho grass; that you, by whispering to Hammond things of which you had no knowl edge, caused all this trouble Lawyer Walker shouted to Mr.

Ehulkina, during the cross examination. Attorneys Bosnian and- Miller were on their feet in an instant with the most vigorous objections, which Judge Hutch' in son sustained. "I object to this Christian gentleman being Insulted by Mr. Walker!" shouted Mr. Scanlan, referring to the former's heated question.

The court Instructed the lawyers to be calm but in less than a minute they were again in tho heat of another argument. The crowd in the courtroom found the evidence quite entertaining and bailiffs were kept busy rapping for order and keeping the spectators In their seats. Mr. Walker brought out tbe fact that Mr. Ehayne's reputation as an osculator did not end with the mere kissing of the defendant'o wife.

From Mr. Shulklns he elicited the fact that the State street furrier had kissed Mrs. Hammond, Mrs. McKay, her sister, and Mrs. Klnoch, her mother.

"Where did this occur? Mr. Walker asked. "At South Haven. Mich." "Wa Mr. Hammond there?" "No.

He had told me that Mr. Shayne was going over to try and settle the trouble he was having with his wife an he would be over later." Belief as to Hammond's Insanity. During the cross-examination of Mr. Shul klns, the stand taken by the state, in the light of the charges against Mr. Sbayne by the defense, became apparent.

Mr. Walker sought to show that the witness was a strict church member, opposed to even occasional drinking and smoking; that he disliked the complainant because the furrier was a "convivial spirit who smoked cigars and drank; that the witness) knew absolutely nothing against Mr. Shayne or of any Improper actions with Mr. Hammond, but that he became prejudiced agalnat him and sought to poison Hammond's mind against him. These remarks to Hammond, according to tbe state's theory, caused the trouble betwee.

the defendant and his wife. Mr. Shulklns admitted, with, son show of pride, that he is a constant church oer and that he did not dislike Sbayne simply be cause ho drank but ho declared this to be but one of many reasons for his hatred. His other reasons were not stated, question relating to them being ruled out by Judge Hutchinson. The witness said further that he knew nothing of tho doings of Mr.

Shayne and Mrs. Hammond at Hot Springs. He ap peared to be very anxious to tell of some things of which he had been Informed. But the attorney for the prosecution was on tho alert and managed to keep the witness from stating them. "Just state what you heard, saw, smelt, or felt, unless you possess some occult power of which I am not Informed," Mr.

Walker said, and the ppectator laughed. Outside of a portion of the cross-examina tion of Mr. Shulklns, all the testimony heard yesterday, was relative to the mental condition of the defendant. Peter De Tamble and Alfred Mace declared that they had known Hammond in a neighborly way for several years and both men expressed tho belief that ho was inaane from November, 1S98, Mr. Mace asserting that he did not be lieve Hammond had yet entirely recovered Ms reason.

"He's not the same old Harry Hammond yet," the witness sal. Witnesses Attest to Character. "Have you ever made any investigation of the subject of insanity Assistant State's Attorney Smith asked. "No," was the reply. "Have you ever come in contact with the IbsaneT" "Yes.

I have attended ball and dances given by insane people," the witness replleJ, and Jurors Joined In the laugh which followed. declared that Hamond was" al ways crying and complaining of a strong pressure on hi head, and added that this occurred after the wife's application for a divorce. In describing Hammond's condition he said that he acted Just like actors who were por traying crazy people In plays. He could not recall the name of the performances, but he was certain that the players and Hammond acted Just alike. Witness said that Hammond had first told him of hi trouble in October, 1898.

and that he stood crying for half an hour at th cor ner ol Forty-Third street and Greenwood avenue. "He been plumb craiy. in my opinion. since Christmas of last year," Both Mace and De Tamble swore that they had never seen Mr. Hammond drunk, and that previous to the shooting of Shayne his reputation waa good.

The lawyer the morning session yesterday in arguments. Attorneys Walker and Smith desired to cross-examine Me. Shulklns and Mr. Irwin on the mental con dition of Hammond after the shooting. This was opposed by Attorneys Scanlan and Mil ler, it being contended that the mental condition of the defendant after- the shooting would throw no light on his condition previous to the affray.

After long. arguments Judge Hutchinson sided with the state, and the cross-examination of Mr. Irwin proceeded. L. MOBNING, 1 OCTOBER 31, Witness said that fa Hammond soon after th shooting, 1 found hi in very nervous ana in a statv til collapse.
