WILL NOT PROSECUTE
TWO COLORED WOMEN
Gary Police Disguised With
Vacillation of James
Scherdwin.

The Gary police yesterday were dis
gusted with the action Of James Scherd-
win. the Hobart man who was robbed
of $50 by two colored women in Ne
south end of the city, when he filed an
affidavit yesterday to the effect that he
did not know whether he had lost the
money. or whether it had been stolen.
and that he did not know whether he
had missed it while the colored women
Were with him or not.
After his report of the matter to the
police, the officers put forth their best
efforts to land the two colored women.
whom he afterward identified as the
ones who were with him. This the
police succeeded in doing and the wo-
men were bound over to the superior
court. It appears from the affidavit
lin the hands of Henrietta Boone's
attorney that Scherdwin would refuse
to prosecute her for grand larceny,
which might lead to the city's radiance
of one of its worst characters.
The police say that this is not the
first trouble in which Scherdwin OF
Hobart and his friend. George HamiI-
ton have been. About a year ago these
two men were in the city, and after
becoming unduly familiar with the
same two colored women Hamilton was
relieved of a smaller amount of mon
ey. The women We're arrested and
Hamilton refused to prosecute.
Since the arrest of the Boone wo-
man. the police say that they have seer
| her frequently with Scherdwin and thai
| the colored women had undoubtedly
| succeeded in bIufhng him out of the
| prosecution.
