Eads, Ivan R. Harlow, for County derk, An A large Judge Persons insisted on holding a long hearing on the petition, despite the fact that the points of issue raised by the Johnsâ€"Manville corporation and the Bonnie Brook school district, had already been argued and overâ€"ruled in circuit court. Corporation Counsel Bairstow argued that inasmuch as the petition was properly drawn and the signers were legal property owners, the court should certify the petition to the city council for action. Then, if the objectors insisted, a special election could have been held. In 1941, a petition by citizens of Lake County was filed before Judge Persons asking annexation of the territory, forming a pocket between Waukegan and the lake front, to the city of Waukegan. The big Johnsâ€"Manville plant is located in a pocket between Waukegan and Lake llichifnn on the north side waterâ€"front. It obtains assistance in police and fire protection from Waukegan and most of its employees live in Waukegan and send their children to Waukegan schools. _ During the ten months while this case was pending before Judge Persons, J‘:ck Bairstow obtained the Democratic nomination for repreâ€" sentative in congress from the Tenth Congressional District. He was the one who was carrying on the actual trial of the case before Judge Katharine Keeler, Northwestern University crime detection expert, in her examination of the ballots in the Hendee Alford election contest found embossings on other ballots from crosses which had been pressed on ballots after they were stacked up and gave her opinion to the court that the ballots had been altered. The photographs to the left are court exhibits 14 and 15 from Wauconda Township. The County Judge, in rendering his decision, paid no attention to the testimony of Katherine Keeler and said: "The character of the markings mentioned by the witness (re!errins to Katherine Kecler) retracings in some instances and marks by different lead pencils for candidates on both Republican and Democratic tickets to which she testified, are not sufficiently convincing to permit the Court to invalidate the ballots mentioned." And, he said further: "Assuming her opinion to be well founded that certain ballots were tampered with after the same were marked by voters, I see no reasonable theory under the record by which this could have been done unless it occurred while the ballots were in the pollini places and before they were recorded, folded and sealed in the sacks in which they were returned to the then County Clerk." Although the markings were apparent to the naked eye, Judge Persons did not see them and held that the ballots should be counted in spite of the alterations. ; However, the corporation pays no taxes to help defray municipal exâ€" penses and to help maintain the city schools.. Need for more money for education purposes in Waukegan is urgent.

Rendering a political decision, Judge Persons, defending it said : "We are not interested in or influenced by the politics (to which some reference has been made) or personnel of counsel or litigants herein." He further said in the decision that "such petition must reâ€" flect the voluntary, deliberate, earnest, sincere plea of the signers at the time the Tmturu were affixed thereto; what they may have learned about it it was filed in this Court, through the press and otherwise, is not now material." . C "I hardly think it is necessary to ask you gentlemen to discuss the evidence here. ‘ There were two irregularities, as shown by the evidence : one, the failure to lock the ballot box in accordance with instructions, and the other is as to the specimen ballots furnished by the County Clerk. I think it is conceded, even by the witness Suter, that no name should be inserted in a specimen ballot. It should be exhibited and posted as other specimen ballots, unchanged as it comes from, the County Clerk; but when all is said and done, those irregularities and failure to comply with the statute I think are insufficient to warrant the Court in refusing confirmation of the two judges, Suter and Burnett." ~ aa% In rendering this decision, he ignored the fact that each signer of the petition had ratified his signature by his lfpeannce in court after wide publicity had been given to the case, testifying to substantiate the petition. In spite of the fact that everyone of the signers, except those who were in the armed services, appeared in court and identified their signature as genuine, the Court said that the petition "was not the voluntary, independent expression of the wishes of a majority of the property owners in the territory sought to be annexed**." This deâ€" cision was rendered on August 21, 1942. Four days later the question of the confirmation of judges and clerks in Precinct 5 Libertyville, was before the same Judge on objection to their reappointment. The Judge found that two violations of elecâ€" tion laws had been committed by these judges and in his decision said:: _ What, we respectfully ask, would be a violation sufficiently serious to warrant refusal to confirmation of election officials?
