The latter part of the week was taken up with trial work On Wednesday the criminal docket was put on and Patrick Sullivan and Charles Kowalsky were arraigned for horse stealing. These young men had taken a team out of the barn of a farmer in Coral township and started for Chicago with it, but were over­ taken by the authorities in DttPage county and brought to Woodstock? Both defendants are under eighteen years of age. Their mothers'were here and begged and pleaded with the court and state's attorney to keep their boys out of the reformatory. After consideration of the cpurt and the state's attorney and the promise of the defendants that they would go home and \^ork and report once each month to W. E. Wire, probation of­ ficer, of how their time was spent, how much money they earned and what they did with it, they were let out on parole. The charge of perjury against Harry Cohen of Chicago was dismissed, the indictment being quashed by the court thru the efforts of Attorney L«umley No other criminal cases being ready at this time, the case of W. J. Bo\ver was called and took all Thursday and Friday in the trial. Attorney Frank McCarthy of Elgin represented the plaintiff and Attorney^ E. D. Shurtleff of Marengo,, the defendant. The case was over a horse which Joseph Sulli­ van of Marengo sold to the plaintiff and which the plaintiff claimed did not prove a sound and workable horse as warranted. All of the evidence prer sented by the plaintiff was given by himself and a Mr. Zerbe, his partner, which was to the effect that after working the horse for a short time it began to plunge and rear so that they could not hold him and had to put him in the barn. They took him to a vet­ erinary at Hampshire, who testified that the horse was afflicted with blind staggers. All of the testimony sub­ mitted by the defense was to the effect that while the. horse was high-lifed, it was* a sound, workable horse. They traced his history back to the owner­ ship by P. J. Brickley of Harvard, Frank Barth of Lawrence and Conrad Keller of Chemung township, all of whom 'were present and testified that the horse was all right when they owned him. The evidence seemed to be very much in favor of the Sullivan side, but the jury did not see it that way and give the plaintiff a verdict for the full cost of the horse. The horse had been returned to Sullivan and afterwards sold by him to anotiher party. On Saturday morning the case of People vs. Ralph Scott, for obtaining money under false pretenses, was called. D. R. Joslyn, state's attorney, appeared for the state and Attorneys Mullen of Woodstock, Ben singer, a prominent lawyer of Louisville, Ky., and Attorneys Hughes and Phipps of Jeffersonville, Ind.. appeared for the defendant. A plea of- not guilty was entered. Th^ evidence of the state showed that the defendant, RalfJtf Scott, is a young attorney of Sellers- burg, Ind.; that he came to Woodstock in December, 1913, to settle a case' against a young man named Weir, charged with abduction; that while he was there he induced State's Attorney1 Joslyn to consent to a dismissal of the charges if the defendant, Weir, would marry the girf, Martha Hoe'ft, whom he was charged with abducting. While there he telephoned to Indiana for 975.00 and told Weir's brother that he was having a terrible time getting his brother out of his predicament; that he had been indicted in the federal court in Chicago under the Mann act; that he, his attorney, had to get United State's Marshal Hoy out and throw a few slugs into him and that he had to use" $40 to influence Judge Landis. The money was telegraphed to him thru the farmers' Exchange bank^of Wood­ stock and delivered to Scott. It also developed that Scott had made these statements on the streets of Sellers- burg to several other people. Tite de­ fendant denied making any such state­ ments over the telephone, whicih left the testimony a matter of veracity be­ tween Oscar Weir Mid defendant. There seemed to be a good deal of feeling on both sides and the jury,, on Sunday morning about 2:30, brought, ̂ n a verdict finding the; defendant «ot guilty. Court will re-convene on February 16. • '-V II •• •• , .1 I • • • •.••• •-! • •• • *1 RESOLUTIONS OF SYMPATHY Whekeas, It has pleased our heaven- ly Father to take back into his loving arms.
