In connection with tho straw ball scandal
and la awnltlng sentence, while "Diamond

Friedman has been In this country 10
yearo, but cannot write nr read English,
except to sign his name. He declines that
a man emplovtd Jn Call's olllce first got
him to .sign a ball bond two enrs ago.
A few days later be was notified thnt
the case hnd been disposed of. Again the
man applied for his s'';nnture. and al
though he protested, Frli dmnn says, he
finally agreed nnd signed again. This
happened a third time. Friedman Is posl
tle that he never signed a bond for
Bohrer.
The propcrtv offered by Frledrmn tn
the bonds he did sign and also numed in

CHARGE OF TDRCOS:
AT CHARLEROI LIKE '
"HELL LET LOOSE" '
Germans Fall Like "Suffo
cated Wasps" Before the
Terrible Onslaught of
Africa's Dark Warriors.
;
PARIS, Sept. 17,
Tho reckless bravery of the Titrcos,
tho black troop? that Franco lias called
to tho front from Africa, Is the themo
of many a thrilling talc.
An officer Of Zouaves, who took part In '
tho magnificent charge of tho dusky AN V
tlcnn warriors at Chnrlcrol and was
badly wounded, thus refers to the fight JV
"You could not If you tried exaggerate 'V
the amassing bravery our fellows Bhowcd
right up to tho Jaws of death. We had '
been fighting for four days around the -walls
of Charlcrol, There wcro 100.CD3 '
of the enemy innsscd ngnlnst our posi
tions, pouring shot nnd shell Into us My .
Bplendld lads never flinched, nllhough -
they had not n chance for n meal. Some- -times
tho advantage was with ns, eome- '
times wo hnd to give way. Tho more '
our artillery mowed down tho moie the
enemy eemcd to spring up. Thev
swnrmc-d In nil directions, nnd that H
why their casualties arc much heavier
than ours.
"Suddenly our colonel cried, 'Give the
Tttrcos freo icln.' The avalanche be. ;
gan. It wns like hell let loose. They
tore nlnng tho enemy's buttciles for a
full mile. The Prussian guard wns ex
tended over about a thousand yards. As
the charge continued tho boys chanted tins
'Marseillaise,' but one comrade could
hardly hear the other. On they dashed,
however, tilt they were within perhaps
fifteen yards, when tho batteries in the
wood censed firing, or they would hae ,
mowed down their own guanK
"Then the blocxllcst of nil h.u xiet
molee3 began. While one man was ttins
flxlnff a huge Prussian nnd could noi for ,
the moment rclr.-ihc his buyonet he HI "
out with his pistol nnd shoot nno ,
while a comrade by his side would be be
laboring his foe with the butt end of his
rlilc. So mad was tho combat that ninay
