NESLUMLEY GET NEW TRIAL ItaSftEE PRISONERS BREAK PROM JAIL Grand Jury Returns Twelve / True Bills Early This Week dounty Judge C. P. Barnes and former State's Attorney V. S. Lum- !ey were granted a new trial in the circuit court of McHenry county Monday morning before Judge Earl D. Reynolds of Rockford, circuit judge of this district, and the presiding judge in the recent purjury trial of the McHenry county lawyers. In granting a motion to set aside the verdict of guilty, which was returned by the jury in the trial, and granting the motion" for a new trial, Judge Reynolds took almost two hours in explaining his reason for doing so. Prior to granting the motion, Judg;' Reynolds had taken the records of the case to Rockford, where he spent several weeks in going over the evidence and instructions. In giving his decision he stated that in his opinion several reversible errors were- committed in the case. He based his decision on several of the instructions offered by the state and stated that they should never have been allowed and that if the case was carried to a higher court the case would sure be reversed. In giving his decision Judge Rey- ROY KENT BUYS HIS PARTNER S INTEREST Well Known Local Realtors Dissolve Partnership Rcy A.

Kent will head the new firm, but Mr. Green will be associated with him in the capacity of salesman. Kent & Green wish to express their appreciation of the patronage extended to them in the past and the new firm promises a continuation of the prompt service, with cheerful courteous treatment to all inquiries relating to real estate and insurance. Kent & Company will continue to operate the three offices, two in McHenry and one in Genoa City, Wis.

It will serve as a shopping guide to thousands of people who are working out the annual problem of selecting gifts for relatives and friends McHenry merchants are alive when it comes to letting the people of their trading community know that they can secure what they want in the Gateway City.

I would be a coward Christmas sary for them to journey lo the larger I cities to secure what they want for 7 I did not grant the defendants a new trial." "Granting a new trial means more expense to the county," remarked Judge Reynolds. "However, on the other hand, if the case was carried to the appelate court I am sure that th« decision would be reversed and that • in due process of law the case would be sent back to McHenry county to be tried over again." Judge Barnes and Attorney Lumley were in court during the hearing, as well as Attorneys Joslyn, Allen, and Carroll, who acted for the defendants during the trial. State's Attorney A. H. Pouse, and his assistant, J. J. McCauley, were also present. Attorney Frank May. nard of Rockford, who acted as special prosecutor during the trial, was not in court. No date has been set for a new trial. Judge Reynolds expressed a desire not to preside over the second trial. A large crowd was in the court room during the hearing, the case having held the spotlight throughout the northern part of the state for several months. Three Prisoners Escape Three prisoners sawed their way out of the McHenry county jail at Woodstock and escaped during the night from Saturday to Sunday. , They were Frank McGee and Jerry Lanihan, charged with robbing a railroad freight train at Ridgefield a few weeks ago, and Jack Bayer, charged with stealing an automobile and suspected of arson in connection with the burning of the Readel garage on Washington street recently. Sheriff Edinger feels very much dispirited over the escape of these prisoners. Especially McGee and Lanihan, he spent days and nights to capture, with the aid of detectives in Chicago. There were four prisoners charged with the Ridgefield banditry. One of these, McGraf. was in a different part of the jail and did not escape and the fourth, Monroe, is out on bond. The escape was made by sawing a hole in a quarter inch steel plate in the back of a cell permitting the prisoners to gain access to the outer cor' ridors The publishers of The Plaindealer take pride in this large issue, which contains eighteen pages, undoubtedly the largest edition ever published in McHenry. The office force has been forced to put in considerable overtime this week to accomplish this result.

Other prisoners could al?o have escaped if they wished to, but they were either under short sentence or felt that the chances of evading future arrest were not worth the atattempt. There were fifteen prisoners in the jail at the time. That all of them knew what was going on is probable, but according to the information the sheriff was able to get out of them they were intimidated by the three who escaped into keeping silent. The knowledge of what had happened did not come to the sheriff until Sunday morning, when the prisoners remaining reported the facts of the escape during the previous night. While Sheriff Edinger feels keenly the humiliation of having prisoners escape from the jail, persons who have investigated the fact d<f pot £t* tach any blame to him.

BOOSTER At Me far-sighted business man has said, "If you buy out of town, and I buy out of town, and other local people follow our example--what will become of our town?" Today, we seem to be. living in an age of educational movements to induce the American public to do this, or that. Bright-eyed, wild-eyed, cock-eyed and cross-eyed reformer?, public spirited and otherwise, urge us not to eat meat, but to "Eat More Wheat," or "Say It With Flowers," or "Give Her Candy," or "Don't Carry a Nip on the Hip," and make other varied and sundry appeals to our pocketbooks and sentiments. But, to the writer's rftind, outstanding among all previous educational movements, intended to make our sojourn upon this planet "better or worse" it seems most fitting that the readers of this newspaper be asked to pause a moment and consider a fundamentally sound and practical movement this newspaper has determined to sponsor--a movement to boost McHenry among its own citizens. Why Pick on Home Folks? The old adage, "Familiarity breeds Contempt" may sound rather trite, but nevertheless true, when one stops to think how very little knowledge about our town the average citizen actually possesses. F'instance, suppose you should be called upon today, to tell a gathering of visiting capitalists of the superior advantages of our town over other towns as a place to live, as a desirable location for some big industrial plant, as an ideal section of the country for farmers to come to and make their homes, and other pertinent fact.- that might help to "sell" our town to strangers, making them want to move here--how many local people, if suddenly called upon, could put over a snappy rapid-fire sales-talk about our town being a better town than others ? That's what we mean. Yes, sir, and yes, ma'am, ever since we finished a correspondence course in salesmanship and got our diploma n'everything, we have been stirred with the fire of ambition, and we sim ply had to find an outlet for this stored-up talent. So, we are going to "sell" our town to home folks. Ain't it a perfectly gr'rand idea? More Local Boosters Needed / Familiarity does breed contempt-- particularly for one's home town. Too many of us who live here regard our town as something, like Topsy of Uncle Tom's Cabin fame, that "jest grew," and we are too often inclined to regard it with contempt and say discreditable things about it. For that reason home towns everywhere need boosting--the local citizens need to be taught to hold reverend respect and pride for their home town. So, we're going to use some space in this newspaper's columns every week for educational purposes to boost our town-- with the hope of making boosters of every one of our dear readers, too. Mebbe we can qualify for a professorship, I dunno. Last week in these columns appeared an announcement of the Local Loyalty League of America, a national organization for community advancement, with headquarters at Chicago. This organization is encouraging local campaigns throughout the country, to at Harvard a few days ago and a boost home towns and thereby, to prosmall quantity at moonshine confis-1 moie local and national prosperity. cated. | We regard a movement of this char- M'HENRY QUINTET OPENS CAGE SEASON WEEKLY EXCHANGE ITEMS OF INTEREST; TAKEN FROM COLUMN^ OF OUR EXCHANGES Assortment of News Items 1# % .Condensed Form For, V'X % *"J I .v"- Busy People *' v*5 * " NOTICE The card party and Christmas sale, which were to be given under the auspice? of the Catholic Daughters of America on December 12, has been BUNCO AND CARD PARTY The Young Ladies' sodality of St. cars at Ridgefield on November 7. McGrath is the only one in the county jail at the present time. Munroe is out on bonds and McGee and Lenihan are out due to the fact that the sheet iron in the county jail was not strong enough to keep them behind the bars. Jack Bayer was also indicted on two charges. Larceny and arson Bayer confessed to tl>p first charge, but claimed that he was innocent of setting the Readel garage on fire. Bayer is also at liberty due to the fact that he joined Lenihan ana McGee in the' jail break of Saturday night. The twelfth indictment was against Stephen Ryder, Jr., for passing fraudulent checks. The jury was in se«- su n from 10 o'clock Monday morning until late in the afternoon. No indictment was returned against Harry Barnes whose place was raided Combined School Orchestras in Varied Program One of the most enjoyable entertainments given in this |ommunity recently was the concert of the combined orchestras of the Crystal Lake and McHenry High Schools at the McHenry community school auditorium Thursday evening. In spite of the fact that the weather was not especially favorable there was a good crowd in attendance. The program began at 8:15 o'clock and for the next hour and a half the audience enjoyed a concert that was good in every respect. Under the able direction of W. N. Sears, the orchestra numbers proved to be an important and very enjoyable part of the evening's affair. The combined orchestras made a musical organization of 47 pieces. The two groups worked in perfect unison and played some numbers that showed excellent preparation. The violin solos given by Ernest Barbian of this city and Margaret Schubbe of Crystal Lake won well j merited applause, both students showing themselves to be real musicians. Earle Conway's two trombone solos were outstanding for masterful rendition. The audience so enjoyed the first number that there was round after round of applause until he played again. Ruth Dean's cello solo, "Angel's Serenade," was another of the enjoy, able numbers. The Vocal selection by Laura Michels was very much enjoyed, Miss Michels' singing being of excellent quality. Songs by the male quartet made a great hit with the audience and the singers, Ernest Barbian, Earle Conway, Richard Stenger, and Mr. Koerner, were twice encored. Superintendent C. H. Duker spoke a few words of appreciation for the way in which the people of the com munity turned out and thanked them for their co-operation with the school. He also asked that they continue to help the students by buying the Lyceum tinckets which they are now selling and to attend the numbers of the lyceum, which, like the orchestra concept, are entertainments ,of superior quality.

Altogether, some twenty odd players are out this year, including all of the regular ponies of last year and many new ones, who look rather promising within a short time. The McHenry quintet will have a very hard schedule this year, being in the North Six Conference and also playing many other important games.
