Attorney A. T. Knots Back
From Indianapolis Where
Fight Is Going On.

Gary Is To Get Superior
Court Soon.

Attorney A. F. Knots, recently re-
turned from Indianapolis where he has
been interviewing the Legislators in the
interests of the additional Superior
Court of Hammond.
The trip which was made by Mr.
Knotts was in the nature of "a little
preliminary skirmishing. The Lake
County Bar Association has been hear
Ing SO much about the activities of the
members of the Gary Bar, that they
were very much interested In Mr.
Knots trip to the state capital.
Pleased With Outlook.
Mr.. Knots returned to this city very
much pleased with the outlook for an
additional court in this city. While
it is too early TO tell whether or not
any legislation can be secured for the
purpose of relieving the congestion Of
the Lake County courts yet, it is pos
sible from an estimate of the legislative
frame of mind, and that is what Mr.
Knots has done.
1t is a peculiar thing that the
brothers. Knotts, are arrayed against
each other in this fight. Tom Knots.
the president of the town board of Gary
recently went to Indianapolis to secure
superior court for Gary the other day
and right on his heels A. F. Knots of
Hammond went to the State capital in
the interests of an additional court at
Hammond.
Tom Knots says, Gary has enough
legal business to entitle it to a super-
or court. and by the great horn spoon
we are going out after one"

awyers of the county. Garys business

PATTON HANDLES BIG JOB
Of STENOGRAPHIC WORK
Hammond Man Alone Will Make Nearly $4,000 Out Of
the Simon -Wickey Election Contest That

The biggest job of stenOgraphic work
that was ever done in Lake county is

services, he will be paid $500 for
making the transcript of the case. 1t

Gratis would secure the transcript in

The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1909-01-12

Of the $500 pages of evidence, which
was taken. 1900 pages are democratic
testimony and 500 pages are republican
testimony. So. if the legislature de-
cides the case on the amount of tes-
timony, which seems TO be the demo-
Gratis principal claim to public SYM
pathy, Edward Simons will be seated by
a majority of 700 pages.
In addition to the $500 pages of evil
dence that has been introduced there
are also 100 pages of exhibits. These
are some of the exhibits that Peter
Lyons brought back from New York
when he made that famous visit to
the metropolis.
Most of the testimony has been
signed. but next Friday all those who
have not signed their testimony will
be compelled to do so The writing
of the transcript indicates that it will
be introduced into the legislature if a
way can possibly be found to get it in
during the present session.

139 CIVIL CASES
Fine Record Made at Last
Term of Court.

There were 139 civil cases disposed
of at the last term of the Lake superior
court. This is an especially good rec
ord, considering the fact that the cleo
tion was on and the Christmas holidays
interfered.
Hammond lawyers say that it is
doubtful If there is another court in
the state which got rid of such a large
volume of business in the November
term.
The courtroom was filled with attor-
neys from all over the county this
morning and the time of the court was
taken up with the setting of cases. It
is expected that the setting of cases

The trouble was brought to a head
by the fling in the Lake superior court
at Hammond of an application for

and Beers to issue the certificate that
the job has been properly completed
The relations between the board OF
county commissioners and the archi-
tects of the additions to the courthouse,
on the one hand. and the W. J. Turnes
company, on the other, have been far
from pleasant ever since the work on
the additions to the courthouse were
begun.
Delays Were Numerous.
There have been numerous delays
and while the courthouse was sup
posed to have been completed last July,
the job is not yet done. There still
remain several small jobs to be done
about the building that will take at
least a couple of weeks, according to
the county commissioners, and the ar
chitects on the building have been
asked not to issue the certificate of
completion until the work is entirely
done.
In the complaint which Attorneys
Bruce and Bruce have filed, it is al
legged that the work on the courthouse
is completed and that in spite Of re-
peated requests that have been made
by the W. J. Turnes company to Beers
