The chief witness was William Heterick, who is to be treid later, charged with perjury, in that he falsely swore as to his age when made a voter. He said on the stand that shortly before the 1908 caucus Barnes called at his home one evening and before he left gave him two one-dollar bills 1 pvayment for his trouble in attending the caucus.

Sept. 20.—The most important development in the nesro lynching case came today, When war- rants charging two members of the| mob with murder and two policemen | with involunta: manslaughter were issued by Judge Butler upon the rec- ommendation of the special grani j The jurors were discharged. v had been in session for three weeks, and it had been charged that they were reluctant to take action. The men indicted are: Richard S. Tucker, insurance agent. He was the first man to enter the hospital on Sun- day night, August 13, when Zack| Walker was dragged by a2 mob from his bed and burned to death. Walter Markwood, mill hand, who it is claim- ed had an obscure part in the lynch- ing. Both were indicted for murder. Policeman Stanley S. Howe, who was on guard at the hospital on the night of the lynching, and who it is claimed did not exert imseif to prevent the crime: also Chief of Police C. E. Um- stead, who it is claimed failed to per- form his duty properiy. The two po- licemen were indicted for involuntary manstaughter. The grand jury report censures the entire police force of Coatesville, Bur- gss, Shallcross and the Brandywine fire company for faiiing to further the ends of justice. The citizens of Coates- ville and vicinity having knowledge of the Tynching are condemned because their attitude throughout the inquiry hampered the work of investigation. Judge Butler in discharging the Jury said: *That more information has 1 obtained is no disgrace to ou have shown everyone that the law must be supreme. Murder by a moh differs only from murder by an individual because the former 13 more cowardly.™ { The jnry reported that it found that | the mob had acted like a heliday one, “and we regret to add that in it were 4 few women.” In addition to those indicted today, eight others,three men and five vouths, are already under indictment in con- nection witl. the lynching.

One of the changes made in the state automo- bile law by the general assembly was deisnged to prevent an owner or dfiver from being provokingly held up by some mere technical viola- tion and permitting him the right to be released upon his own recognizance.

MIRACLE IT WAS NOT SUNK British Protected Cruiser Rams Into Her—San Francisco Man Through Hole Into a Rowboat. Escapes Southampten, England, Sept. 20. The great steamship Olympic of the White Star line, which left Southamp- ton shortly before noon today, with a great crowd of return-ng American tourists, lies off Calshot Castle, at the entrance to Southampton water, | tonight with a gaping hole in her side | as the result of a collision with the British protected cruiser Hawke. For- | tunately no lives were lost, and of the 2,000 or more passengers and crew of the vessels not onme was injured. Miracle Olympic Was Not Sunk. The warship, moving at great speed, | followed the liner, but apparently quite” clear of her. Suddenly cruiser swerved in and struck the liner in the starboard auarter near | the stern, tearing through 2 section about forty feet in extent. The mira- cle is that the Olympic was not sunk, €s the Hawke is fitted with a ram specially designed to sink a vessel in | spite of the watertight compartments. | The liner's frame stood the shock well, and the watertight doors. which auio- matically closed, held the compart- ments hermetically sealed. Warship Badly Used Up. So far as can be learned, the Hawke suffered more severely. Curiousiy enough, tweive feet of her upper deck was twisted out of all recognition. The stem appears to be completely gone. The plating was ripped open. expesing the forward torpedo tube, and the fore comgpartment fillex with water. Everybody Was Cool. Both ships’ crews acted with cool- ness and even among the passengers | of the Olympic there was no panic. | The engines o both ships were stopped | | immediately and as soon as the water- tight doors were secured the engines were set ustern and the vesseis drew apart. Wireless Messages for Tugs. The Hawke Sent wireless messages for tugs and remained alongside the liner until they.arriv to convoy to Southampton water, where she dropped anchor to await the turn of the tide to enahle her to proceed to_ her dock The cruiser proeeeded to Portsmoutl under her own steam. Seventy Passengers Lznded. The White Star com tehed | tenders for the passengers desiring to | land, but on v took advantage | of this. The only other passenger who landed was Thomas Mazgee of San ¥rancisco. who, when the collision oc- curred, clambered out of the rent in the liner’s sids into a_rowboat which { ianded him at Cowes. He was the first { | to send out the news of the accident. | The Warship Blamed. Many theories advanced as to the ceuse of ihe collision, but generallv the warship is blamed. Tt is suggested | that the cruiser's stesriing gear failed to act. The naval officers and the officers of the Olympic are withholding comment until after the inquiry, whicl: | the admiraity will institute immedi- | ately, is held. The Olympic's Ameri- can mails will be taken by the Maure- tania, sailing September Thomas Magee’s Experience. Directly the collision occurred, homas Magee, who found himself close to the water line gazing through the rent in the Olympic's side, hailed a boatman and offered hid three sov- ereigns to be rowed ashore. In ex- plaining the incident of his leaving the vessel so hurriedly, he said In a Hurry to Get Home. “I realized that the Olympic would be laid up for some tine, and my wife and I were in a great hurry to return home to see our three yveir old baby. T observed A rope coiled up by a po hole and throwing il overthe ship's| side, T clambered down hand over hand.

Waldorf Astor, member of parlia- ment for Plymouth, said that the hole made in the Olympic's side was wide enough for him to stand upright in.
