X Uycitai :.|3j 5 CO-OPERATIVE SUPPLY HOUSE OF CHICA­ GO IS INDICTED FOR PROMOTING A LOT- TOY. [Harvard Herald) Less than four hours' time was re­ quired for the grand jury in the eir- cttit court of McHenry county at Wood­ stock on Monday to return eight true bills, to inspect the county jail and to recommend the erection of an addition to the jail building as a matter of pub­ lic necessity and to offer what it deems is essential for those confined in the county bastile. H. J. Ferris of this city was appoint­ ed foreman of the grand jury by Judge Chas. Whitney, who presided for the first time in the circuit court of this county. Wm. Desmond was later chosen clerk of the same body and no time was wasted in getting down to business, for State's Attorney D. R. Joslyn and his capable assistant, Paul J. Donovan, had all the necessary de­ tails in the way of witnesses and papers on hand and at a quarter after three in the afternoon the jury reported. Without question the grand^ury had one case the like of which has never before been presented to a like body in McHenry county and the crime is so unnatural that bat very few cases have occurred in any county in a civilized community in the United States. The party charged with the heinous crime is John Gunnels, thirty-one years old, against whom a true bill was returned for sodomy. Gunnels was arraigned before the court late in the afternoon and furnished a copy of the indictment returned. Geo. Densenbury, fourteen years old and a resident of Liberty- ville, was the complaining witness and he was accompanied by his father to the room where the grand jury con­ vened and his recital told of the com­ mission of a crime against nature and he told it with such apparent truth, supplemented with the evidence of Lake county physicians who attended the boy, that the jury lost no time in returning a true bill. Another true bill returned was against the Co-operative Home Supply House, locatcd at 154 West Randolph street, Chicago, for promoting a lot­ tery. Mrs. Jerome Fay and Mrs. J. P. Brickley of Harvard were among the number whose evidence aided in the jury's true bill against the Chicago concern, which has been operating ex­ tensively in Harvard, Woodstock, Crystal Lake and McHenry. Aside from indicting the concern itself, true bills were returned against its manager and its agent. The indictments follow: Will Hinckley, forgery. Bail placed at $500. Co-operative Home Supply House, promoting a lottery. Capias ordered and placed at $1,QQ0. Samuel Finkelstein, promoting a lot­ tery. Capias ordered and bail placed at $2,500. Wm. Anderson, attempted burglary. Wm. Massey, forgery. Capias or­ dered and bail placed at $500. John Gunnels, buggery. Capias or­ dered and bail placed at $5,000. Albert Seidel, rape. Capias ordered and bail placed at $500. Morris Lazare, promoting a lottery. Capias ordered and bail placed at $2,000. Max Wiswedel, burglary (not a true bill). Calling the roll of grand jurors to ascertain how many desired to be ex­ cused brought forth requests from R. A. Blackman, Fred Goodwin, L. J. Church and Robt. McLean for release from service, and in order to complete the panel the names of Wm. Class, Ed Thompson, Wm. Desmond, Charles Harrington and A. A. Crissey were drawn, after which State's Attorney Joslyn briefly addressed the jury on questions relating to their duties, and in the course of which he laid special emphasis on the importance of the work grand and petit jurors are called on to perform. "It is a startling state­ ment to make, but it is a true one," he said, "that in the city of Chicago, with a population of something over two millions of people, there are more murders committed and more homi­ cides than in all of Great Britain with its more than thirty-six millions of people* while in the former the convic­ tions are less than in Great Britain." Upon the petit juror, the state's attor­ ney declared, much of the blame for this state of affairs is due, because the good-fellow spirit was too preva­ lent, whereas in Great Britain law en­ forcement and the duty of citizenship were peeogak&A w their fullest ex­ tent. With Mie gnuod jury at work Judge Whitney took up the court docket with a view to Arranging a tri*J calendar for the term, but as he proce&fcg jut was apparent the attorneys were jaojt ready to go to trial and many of thew set up various excuses, ranging from the absence of clients and witnesses in South America and distant states to the illness and fear of illness because of cold weather. As the call proceed­ ed the new trial judge became amused at the uniqueness of the excuses set up for nontrial and once or twice elicited laughter by his comment on the pro­ ceedings. As a sequence it resulted in one case being ready for trial, the forties thereto being Earle Bennett .agswnet J as. Corr, night policeman of Woodstock. Local interest will be attached to the sole trial case of the January term when it is stated that Earle Bennett, the complainant, is a nepbaw of Mrs. P. H. Moan of this city. Hi* actio© against Mr. Corr is for trespass. The suit grew out of an altercation between Bennett and Corr last fall at Wood­ stock, where the former was ejected wmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmrn+mm • n -- > -- > • i » i • - ' h i , i from the sidewalk and roughly han­ dled, he alleges, and was later com mitted to jail, but released. Suit fol­ lowed and he seeks to recover damages for false imprisonment. Barnes & Barnes and D. R. Joslyn appear for Bennett, while V. S. Lumley repre­ sents Mr. Corr. The case was begun just before noon Tnesday and it de­ veloped much feeling from the outset, flashes between the opposing attorneys being frequent and it has been a legal battle worth seeing. At the start Judge Whitney interceded and told the attorneys they must confine themselves rigidly to the issues involved. The jury selected to hear the case retired to deliberate on a verdict at 5:30 last evening, returning at 1 o'clock this morning and hanging a sealed ver­ dict to Sheriff Henderson. By stipu­ lations between the opposing attorneys the sealed envelop containing the ver­ dict was opened this morning at 9 o'clock and it found Corr guilty and assessed the damages at 16. The hours intervening between 5:50 last night and 1 o'clock this morning were occupied in taking ballots and in the exchange of arguments on the part of jurors. It is understood about thirty ballot^ were taken, the vote standing for a time at 10 for conviction and 2 for acquittal, shifts following until the vote was 8 for acquittal to 4 for con­ viction. But when it became appar­ ent that neither acquittal nor convic­ tion with damages at what a number of jurors des; red could be obtained, the jury decided on a compromise verdict, voting for $5 as the amount of damages against Corr. Will Hinckley, seventeen year old Harvard boy, Wm. Anderson, charged with breaking into a clothing store at Crystal Lake, and John Gunnels, in­ dicted for sodomy, were brought before Judge Whitney during Monday after­ noon. Young Hinckley presented the appearance of a deserted boy as he stood before the court and was sub­ jected to questions by the judge and the state's attorney. For a time the court appeared undecided as to the better course to pursue. Whether to commit the boy to the reformatory at Pontiac or to permit him to return home seemed about even as the court viewed it. Finally the judge appoint­ ed C. J. Hendricks as attorney and a consultation between the lawyer and the boy followed, after which he came before the court and H. J. Ferris of this city offered to pay for such books as the boy would need and he further said he would give him employment every Saturday if he would promise to attend school, whereupon he was per­ mitted to go on his own bail and he left the court room a happy boy--per­ haps the happiest moments in his life, if his appearance was an index as to how he did feel, for tears were in his eyes as he started with the sheriff to pack his belongings in the county jail aud take up the home journey to Har­ vard, John Gunnels, indicted for a crime againstnature, stood erect and uncon­ cerned as the sheriff left him at the bar of the court and he faced Judge Whitney charged with the commission of an unnatural crime. "Is your plea guilty or not guilty," asked the court, to which Gunnels said not guilty, whereupon the court appointed J. F. Casey as attorney to defend him. A consultation followed, after which the attorney asked until next day to look over the true bill and to ascertain such facts as he felt he ought to know before representing the indicted man in a trial. In language that was decidedly brok­ en and in dejected spirits, Wm. Ander­ son, twenty-seven years old, made no defense to the indictment of attempted burglary, and after answering several questions asked by the court and state's attorney, he was given a Joliet sen­ tence of from one to five years. No lawyer was needed and none was asked, for alone in a strange land, the poor immigrant, who said his father and mother were in Norway; that he had fallen by the wayside; had become a burglar and that the best place for him was in a state prison, away from temp­ tation and where reformation might come, which was a hope he enter­ tained, and the only recourse was to start anew in a life he regretted he had thus far wasted. State's Attorney Joslyn and other attorneys interested in cases on the criminal docket have arranged alrial V - calendar for next Week, tho it is likely but few of the cases will be heard. C. P. Barnes, who appears as attorney in several criminal actions, is still en­ gaged in trial work at Waukegan for Wilbur Glen Voliva and next Tuesday has been set as the day on which the first of the nearly 200 cases against the Zion leader and his followers will be taken up and they will run thru the balance of the winter and perhaps well into the spring months. Seven petitioners and their witnesses appeared in court on Tuesday morning seeking citizenship papers. But one of the seven was granted final papers, he being Ernest G. Trawin, while the other six were continued until the May term in order that they might have an opportunity to better acquaint them­ selves with the government and its laws. The six probationers gave their names as Rasmus Rasmussen, Ole Peter Oleson, Fred Felgenhauer, Zigmund Woiski, Frank Otto and Herman Al­ bert Schauer. QUARTER OF A CENTURY.
