CHARGE FRAUD AND PERJURY '
New Trial Asked in Personal Injury
Case Brought by Wunrath.
BROME REPRESENTS WUNRATH
harsrea Made that Jury Was Led to
Believe that Ke Was lost In
tae Arrtdent Warn It Wu
l.oat Three. Iran Before.
Charges of fraud ard perjury, bjr which.
It is alleged, a verdict for IK.000 against
the People's furniture company mas se
cured In a personal Injury suit brought
by William Wunrath, a Janitor, were
aired yesterday in the hearing of a motion
for a new trial before District Judge
Scare.
A new trial of the case was asked by
Nolan and Woodland, attorneys for the
Teople's Furniture company, on the
ground that the Jury was led to believe
by testimony that Wunrath lost an eye
while employed by the defendant, the
fact being that he had received this par
ticular injury three years previously and
had recovered from an insurance company
for It
Harry C. Brome, republican candidate
for county attorney tried the case for
Wunrath in 1912 and represented him in
the motion for a new trial. He denied
the charges of fraud and declared the
alleged perjury did not concern an issue
of the case.
Walts on Supreme 4'oart.
Judge Sears asserted that he would not
render a decision until the supreme court
had passed on an appeal of the same case
now pending.
Attorneys for the People's Furniture
company set forth that the Jury was
under the Impression that Wunrath lost
Ms eye In a fall down an elevator shaft
while In the employ of their client; that
in the trial lie testified his eye had re
covered from an Injury caused by a run
away accident which occurred in 1WT:
that they afterward discovered Wunrath
had lost his eye In the runaway accident
and had been paid for it by an Insurance
company, that Intentional fraud on the
part of the plaintiff was shown by sev
eral circumstances among which was the
fact that Mr. Brome did not plead the
injury to the eye in his petition, and that
on the ground of fraud and perjury and
newly discovered evidence the court
Bhould grant a new trial.
In the trial of the Wunrath case Mr.
Xlrom. represented the plaintiff, Wesley
Card was a member of the Jury and Dr.
Charles Impey was a witness for the
plaintiff, all of whose names later were
connected with the train of circum
stances which resulted In the conviction
f Charles Belangee for alleged contempt
of Judge Sears' district court.

ELECTRICJSCOREBOARD
Charles A. Fronke, local theatrical man,
has turned Inventor and has produced
an electric base ball score board, which
is more complete, easier to understand,
and has more latitude for the "players"
to "run" than any score board ever built
The Chicago Tribune at one time had
an electrlo score board, which was
boasted of as the most comprehensive In
the country, but Franke's Invention Is a
far better one.
Over SDO electric lights stud the "dia
mond," which Is a board about fifteen
by fifteen feet.
A switchboard, operated by buttons and
switches, show where the ball la every
moment of the nine innings, who Is bat
ting and on bases, shows base running,
hits, balls, strikes, errors, sacrifices, and
everything that ene sees at a real ball
game. If the ball was batted into tho
grand stand or thrown into the bleach
ers, It would be shown by a streak of
lights made by rows of lamps for tho
purpose.
Mr. Franks will report the world's
series at the Krug theater with his board,
recounting each event as It happens on
the eastern bait fields. He will get his
Information by especially contracted
service.
The board Is almost finished, and Mr.
Franke has sent a working plan to Waah
Ington, together with application for
patents.
MR. AND MRS. G. H. KELLY
BACK FROM THE WAR ZONE
The fact that he was a delegate to a

AuguAt. Mr. Kelly was a delegate to
the celebration of 100 years of peace be
tween England and America.
War will continue tor a long time, ac
cording to the general Impression in Lon

Ghoat fttory In Air.
Somewhere in this busy little city there
Is a good ghost story floating around.
And, at the conclusion of the yarn, there
must be a good, hearty laugh, with the
local police department as the target, be
cause they are mighty tender about It.
What the ghost story is could not be
determined, because mention of ghosts
yesterday around police headquarters sta
tion brought forth growls, threats and
displays of Ire.
The Bee office telephone rang early In
the evening and tho correspondent was
told that If he went over to police head
quarters and waked certain officers to
relate their experiences with a nocturnal
phantom at midnight the night before, a
good story would be the'result. The per
son on the other end of the line refused
to reveal his identity.
Attempts to Investigate the "good
story" developed that there is undoubt
edly a ghost story going around with a
police department goat attached, but as
for facts and figures, it would take a
heavyweight champion to obtain them.
