Holmes Defended Over Cotton Case Testimony Request Denied
In the Holmes conspiracy trial Judge Stafford denied Holmes's bid for no unfavorable inference from not testifying by Peckham and Haes. The defense had sought to compel Peckham and Haes to take the stand, while the prosecution argued the two men could exculpate or implicate Holmes. Proceedings included lengthy arguments by District Attorney Baker and counsel for Holmes, with the court outlining why Peckham and Haes could testify about the conspiracy allegations.

Wells Nurturing Garfield Heights Protest Against Closure
The Garfield Citizens Association protests closures of public wells at Twentieth and Joliet Streets and Indiana Avenue and Third Street Northwest, arguing the community relies on wells for water as city service does not reach there. Secretary W. H. Lewin urges investigation, noting only two active wells remain and private wells are scarce, with concerns about sewerage and well depth. John W Butterfield suggests draining and testing the Indiana Avenue well, then installing a protective iron pipe if water is pure.
