THE BLOCKS WAVE EXAMINATION.
----------
The coroner concluded his inquest on the body of Eli Frank this morning. To-day was set for the preliminary trial of Jacob Block and Elsie Block for the murder of Eli Frank. At 1 o'clock an immense crowd filled the court room, and a large crowd failing to find room in the court house, swayed around to the south side of the public square, between the court house and jail. This was in plain view of the jail, and the Blocks were terribly frightened, believing they would be hung immediately. The counsel on behalf of the defense appeared and waived a preliminary examination. The defendant were not taken out of jail. John E. Elam, of Indianapolis, has been employed to prosecute the case. The feeling against the Blocks is growing every day.December 6, 1883
