AROUND IDE ' vCOSIT HOUSE DIVORCE SUIT Vhrian Woodard filed suit against Leonard Woodard in the circuit court Tuesday. They were married August 81, 1937. Desertion is charged in the complaint. FINED IB AND OOflW Albert Wood, Jr., of Woodstock was fined five dollars and costs of $2.50 by Magistrate Grant Nolan September 6 on a charge of disorderly conduct. The arrest and complaint was made by Officer Lewis Thayer. « CHARGES A88AUlH^ Mike Heyna of Crystal Lake was arrested last Friday on a charge of assault and battery. The complaint was signed by Anton Grant who charges that Heyna assaulted him with a knife on September S, inflicting severe wounds about the head and chest YOUTHFUL SLAYER GIVEN SENTENCE FOR LIFE MONDAY ' KicKard Martin Wesolik', "Ihe 1&- yaar-ojti St. Charles parolse who pleaded guilty to the murder of Mrs. Margaret Jung, 36-year-old wife of Joseph Jung of Woodstock, on the morning of July 14, 1M1, was sentenced to serve life imprisonment in th$ state prison at Joliet on Monday afternoon of this week. Judge Ralph J. Dady pronounced the sentence after State's Attorney William M. Carroll described Wesolik as a moron who should be taken out of society for the rest of his natural life. The court said that under the parole law the youth would be eligible for parole in twenty years. Seldom has. the Woodstock court room heard a more thorough explanation of a sentence than that given by the silver-haired jurist from Waukegan. Judge Dady related this was the most difficult case he had to deal with since being elevated to the circuit court bench ten years ago. No Excuse for Killing After hearing the evidence the court said that he could find no excuse whatever for the killing. He said the age of the defendant, the fact he had been brought up in the slums of Belleville, that his mother died when he was a mere two years of age and that his father abandoned him a few years later, offered no excuse for the youth to sneak up on the mother of fivv children in the early hours of the morning and strike her down while her back was turned Judge Dady said that the youth's wasted life of skipping school, burglarizing stores, and association with other bad boys did not enter into the picture. He pointed out that many common people who had no kind of a start in life and went through many hardships climbed to high ranks in the nation. The Waukegan jurist said he had i given the case much thought. Before passfnf sentence he relieved tM mind •f the young slayer by saying he would not inflict the death penalty Seeks Aaethsr Chasfee Having been appointed by the court to defend Wesolik, Hugh Denaen did a very fine job of it He threw his young client on the mercy of the court. Before doing so he asked the court that the young slayer be fivaa another chance in life in later fears, when ha reached manhood. Atty. Deneen said he was unable to perceive what had created the pawrfon for murder in the mind of Wesolik. Before being sentenced, Wesolik said he was terrilily sorry he killed Mrs. Jung. He said he was sorry for the children because he knew what it was to be without a mother. However, even after the sentence had been read the lad diowad few fdsaa of remorse. He did not ahed. a tear and waited patiently to be taken 'to his new home at Joliet. A brother, Joseph Wesolik, test! fled in his behalf Joaeph and his wife were the only relatives of the boy in court. acreage has dwindled in sise consideraMy from semi hundred acres, OtE£ "Tfce new German Lutheran charch in the village will he dedicated on Sunday next, September t, 1881. The Rev. Freuchtenieht of Elfin will preach in the forenoon; Rev. Henry Smith in the afternoon and there will be preaching to the evening in English. All are cordially invited. Since, the dedication, the outward appearance of the church has not undergone a great change. However, there have been changes in the interior of the buOHing which now resembles a beautiful little chapel. CharterMeuribers 8ome of toe charter members of toe church have survived to watch the paaaing of these fast fifty years from the standpoigt of this humble place of warship,; among theee being Mr. and Mrs. -William Teach, Mrs. August according to reporta; A year or so ago Justin Genis, who owns property adjoining the MeHenry county land, made an offer of $600 to the lands and lot commttiee. In fact Mr. Genis filed with toe committee a check for $500, and as the report goes the committee agreed to reoommend to the board as s whole the sale of this land for this price. When the recommendation was made to the board a protest was made by some of the supervisors and in the end the proposition was voted down. Superviaor J. G. Stevens of Richmond, in which township the land is located, objected strenuously. Mr. Stovenp stated many of his people did Dfl* know the land was for sale and he was certain a large price could be obtained if the land was put up for sale at auction. When the clerk tried to return the check to Mr. Genis he refused to accept it .saying the committee had agreed to seB the land to hiss. The proposition lay dormant for quite some tone but a month or so ago it was learned Mr. Genis pressed his claim agsSn ami indicated he would start legal proceedings to acquire the land if the board did not act. It Is claimed that the committee, with power to act from the board, had agreed to sell the land to Genis. Tuesday the matter was brought before the board again and on a vote in which Superviaor* J. G. Stevens, Frank May, Math Schmitt and Paul Rosenthal voted no, the proposition carried. The board voted to give a quitclaim deed to Mr. Genis for the lam! ajt-t&e price of $500. vftw# an reports the land is not goeroir anything other than hunting purposes.
