900. be reduced. Judge Clifford reduced
the bonds to s2,5o0 but the prisoner
could not furnish this amount.

CASE ONCE IN HAMMOND
Chester Bound Over to Superior Court
From Judge William Nc
Mahon's Court.
Especial to THE T1MEs.)

Valparaiso. Ind, Feb. 25.-After be-
ing out only FIVE minutes the jury,
which had been selected to try the
case against Jerome Chester, the son
of one of the wealthiest farmers in
Lake county, found him responsible for
the condition of Mary Kavonek and the
people of Hobart. who took up sub
scription to hire Attorneys Jsoeph Con-
roy and Peddicord to prosecute the
case, have been yindicated
The case was put in the hands of
Attorney Conroy when 1t became ap-
parent that Mrs. Kavonek could not Sc
cure justice in Hobart. The Hobart
justice had dismissed the case, but this
so outraged the Hobart people, who
were convinced of the guilt of Ches-
ter, that they determined to see that
Mrs. Kavonek got her just deserts.
The case was taken to Judge McMa-
hons city court. in Hammond on
change of venue and Chester was bound
over to the Lake superior court. Ches-
ter's father secured the best lawyers
who could be had and prepared to fight
the case in the upper courts.
The first step taken by his father
was TO nave the case Nenued from the
Lake superior court, in Hammond.
where it had been given a great deal
of publicity. to Valparaiso. The trial
of the case occurred yesterday, and
after the hearing of the evidence the
jury deIiberated just five minutes be-
fore rendering verdict Of guilty.
Jerome Chester was placed on ST.
900 bonds pending a motion for new
trial. If the new trial is not granted
the judge will fix the amount which
Chester will have to pay the simple
minded woman whom he is alleged to
have seduced
The case is one OF the most inter-
esting of the kind that has ever come
to the attention of the local courts,
/ After 1t became apparent to Mrs. Ches-
/ ter, according to the testimony that
Attorney Conroy offered. that her son
was responsible for the condition of
Mary Kavonek, then Mary Hammell,
| she found a man who agreed to marry
/ her. That man was Joe Ravonek.
| The substitute husband did not stick
| however. and now Chester Is held re-
sponsible for the birth of the child.

THEY DON'T LIKE Il
Saloonkeepers in Lake Are
Hot Against the Tom
linson Law.
(special to THE T1MEg. }

Crown Point. Ind. Feb. est is
said the saloonkeepers who will be di-
rectly affected in case the Tomlinson
bill becomes a law, are shaking in their
boots for fear of it's passage. and that
the county option law, which some of
them fought so bitterly in the last
campaign, looks like mole hill be-
side mountain in comparison with the
Tomlinson measure. Certainly the en-
actment of the bill would work great
harm to many of the saloons in Lake
county, especially those around the
lake and the halfway houses through
out the county would suffer according
". 1t is said that many Of them are
in favor of the county option law in
preference to the Tomlinson bill and
would welcome an election to decide
the question once and for all.
