CLEARED OF CHARGES
Plea in Abatement Causes
Case to Be Taken
From Jury.
PERJURY CHARGES DON'T HOLD
Attorney for Defense Shows the Non
Existence of Alleged First
Mortgage.

Judge Virgil S. Reiter instructed the
jury to find for Edward F. McGovern,
in the case in which the Spiegel House
Furnishing company charged him with
perjury.
The case was taken from the jury
this afternoon after Attorney Joseph
Conroy had argued his plea in abate-
ment- Mr.. Conroy took advantage of
certain technicalities to clear his man,
and it was a clear cut victory for the
Hammond attorney.
Conroy was able to show that GER
tain instruments were not properly ex-
ecuted, and that in the eyes Of the law
there was no first mortgage. as as al
legged by the attorneys for the plain
tiff
Consequently, when McGovern made
affidavit that there was no encumb-
rance against the chattels upon which
he secured a loan from the Chicago
Discount company, he was technically
right.
1t was the fact that the first mort
gage which was given on the property
was faulty that saved the former Ham
mond man. 1t is understood that At
torney John NJ. Stinson viii appeal the

WHERE WERE THE
INDIAN MA|DENS?
Burlesque Show Fails to Put
in an Appearance; Bald
Heads Disappointed.

The Indian aMidens were evidently
drafted to fight with Crazy Snake"
At any rate, along about o'clock.
Manager Nye of Towle's Opera House
was waving back the hundreds of
people who beseiged the box office and
telling them that there would be no
show and that all of those VINO had
purchased tickets could get their mon
ey back.
1t was heart-breaking perform
ance for the genial manager of the To-
cal theater. Here we have had the
best advance sale we have had this
year and the show falls down on US

by a telephone call and was compelled
to repeat for the Tooth time. Nothing
doing, I'm sorry"
The people of Hammond" continued
Mr.. Nye, seem to want a burlesque

them what they want. I suppose ]
could make money If had one Of those
shows every month

To say that a big bunch Of people
of Hammond was disappointed at not
seeing the Indian Maidens" is putting
it mildly and the chances are that II
the maidens themselves knew how bad
ly the Hammond bald-heads wanted tc
see them they would have bursted g
few corset strings to get here
After billing the whole city with far
ing posters Manager Nye learned thai
the show had not arrived in Laporte
where they We're also scheduled tC
show. and, in fact could get no trace
of It, Later he learned that the com
pany was in Chicago and could not ger
out of the city on account of fnancia
reverses.
This Is the first time" said Mr.. Nye
that I have ever been disappointed
in this manner and I consider that
have been lucky at that The public
has been greatly disconnected, but

Sentiment against permitting horse
men to race in Harrison park is grow
ing stronger every day, and Is almost
unanimous
According to a statement from Adam
Ebert. president of the board of public
works, to THE TIMES today, the board is
still maintaining its neutral position to-
ward the horsemen who are trying to
bring pressure on the board for turn
ing the Harrison park driveway into a
race track.
The only concession that the board
has made toward the horsemen so far
is that it has promised to improve the
driveway by rounding it more than it
is now. This can be done at a reason
| able expense, and is for the benefit OF
horse owners as well as autoists. The
matter Of permitting the horse owners
to speed on the track is held in abey-
ance, according to Mr.. Ebert.

To Attach Indian Maidens

Oh, my, what the Indian Maidens had
in store for them if they had come to
Hammond Wilbur J. Hall, the man
ager Of the opera house at Laporte,
came to Hammond last night and got
out a writ of attachment by which he
expected to attach the baggage of the
company as soon as 1t appeared in
Hammond. to pay for the 500 worth of
advance advertising and billing he had
done.
But the Indian Maidens never showed
up. and so unless some other heartless
theatrical manager attached their tin
sci covered gowns. they are still doing
their drill dances in them. 1t is re-
ported that the show is somewhere in
Michigan.

Attendance Slim.

Owing to professional engagements
which came coincident with the Lake

slim attendance at Whiting yesterday

to be present, consequently the doctors
spent an hour in extemporaneous dis

believe The Times is per-
fectly right in agitating the
Harrison Park driveway mat
ter It should not be a race
track. Harrison Park is a
haven Of rest for little chill
dren and ladies. What mother
would dare to let her child go
to Harrison Park when she
knew such a dangerous sport
was carried on there. The
people of Hammond are taxed
to support the park. If the
few horse owners want to
make a race track out of it,
they ought to pay the taxes
on it. If horse racing takes
place in the park and any ac-
cident takes place, then the
board of public works will be
held responsible for damages.
We don't want horse racing
in Harrison Park and we will
not stand for it.

 You cannot drown your troubles. They succumb only to continued drought.
