CASE IS TO GO OVER
Judge Reiter Takes Motion
in the McGovern Case
Under Amusement.

After hearing the evidence yesterday
afternoon in the case of Eugene f. Nc
Govern, alias Edward f. McGovern,
who is charged with perjury, in the
Lake superior court Judge Virgil S.
Reiter took the motion of Attorney Jo-
seph Conroy, for the defense, to quash,
under advisement.
He will not decide what will be done
with the Hammond Daily News circu-
lation manager until later in the term
If he sustains the motion to quash that
will be all there will be TO the case,
but If he refuses to quash the indict-
ment McGovern will be held to trial
at the next term of court.
Mr.. Conroy will then ask for a jury
trial and the evidence Will be heard
Should Mr.. McGovern be found guilty
as charged he will be sentenced to not
less than two to fourteen years in the
penitentiary at Michigan City.
In connection with the case. Mr..
Bimrose of the Spiegel Furnis hing Co..
of South Chicago, which has filed an
other suit in the Lake superior court
against McGovern and Mr.. Walker of
the Chicago Discount company. who
have been here for two days. say that
the Discount company was a victim
of McGovern instead of his being a
victim of the company. 1T is a damn
able outrage said Mr.. Bimrose. IF
Attorney Conroy wanted to arrest any
member of the Discount company he
has had ample chance. as Mr.. Walker
has been in Hammond two days. Nc
Govern swore over his signature when
he made the loan that the furniture
was clear. when it was already mort
gagged to the Spiegel company"

During the last few weeks the traffic
on express train, No. 13, over the Erie
has been extremely heavy. Instead OF
the regular train of seven coaches
the train has been carrying eight, nine,
ten and sometimes as high as twelve
coaches. The train Tuesday was so
heavy that 1t was divided into two
sections. This is considered remark
able business by the officials. Just
what will be done with the holiday
trade is a question that is puzzling
the officials at this time. says the Hunt
ington News.
