- Full Text
The cases against John Sturm, the Niles gardener, arrested a fortnight ago by Deputy Sherrifs Changelon of this city and James Frawley of Chicago, on charges of selling intoxicants illicitly, conducting a disorderly house and having a gaming device in his possession, were continued by Justice of the Peace William J. Schatz. A change of venue was granted by Police Magistrate Boyer, where Sturm was first arraigned on the charges. Max Borchardt represented the accused gardener. Following the granting of teh change, Sturm declared that he was willing for Justice Boyer to hear the case and intimated that he had not instructed his attorney to demand the change in venue.
Sturm was arrested by the deputy sheriffs after both had purchased numbers on a raffle board, which the gardener had in his possession, in addition to a half-dozen bottles of liquor. It is also alleged that he is the keeper of a house where crowds of youths congregate on Sundays and at night, where general disorder reigns. He is an old offender and has been fined in the Evanston police court on previous occasions.- Featured Link
