East Chicago, Ind, Oct 22-While
the various component parts which

According to the latest advices. the
case will not be heard in East Chicago
at all, but will be carried to Crown
Point where 1t will come up before
Judge McMahan in his capacity as
judge of the Juvenile court.
This was the talk once before, but
since then 1t was said that Mayor
Schlieker would try the case, that
Judge Reiland would have it, and that
II wouSa not be tried at all.
East Chicago officials are frank in
declaring that they do not want any
thing to do with the case. Public SYM

believe he really meant to desert his
family. I believe 1t was a bluff on his
part. Anyhow the case is a nasty one
to handle.
II understand that Deputy Prosecut-

the matter. He also has stated that
he wants nothing to do with the case
