week ago. Hazlfk learned that he wa.

After this he went to Alton, Ill, be-

he remained until q short time ago.

of supposed consciousness he related
how he was induced by a stranger to
get off the train at Laporte, under the
impression that Gary had been reached.
He said further that when they were

was held up and robbed by this al

by him. Since then his story has been
disproved, and last night he was given

A TIMES reporter, also trying to es-
tablish further details on the case,
found the names of both the man and
his wife~in the Lake county directory
which gives their names as follows:
Nugent. Dennis. lather, 18th avenue
and Madison street.
Nugent Mrs. Mabel, 10Th avenue and
Madison street.
An investigation resulted that parties
known by that name had resided at the
above address, hut they could not be
located in Gary.
1t was also remem bered and a story
was printed at the time, that during
the month of October Mrs. Mabel Nu-
gent was brought to the local police
station on charges preferred by her
husband There was no arrest made
at the time and Nugent and his wife
left Gary, and have not been seen here
since. Nugent is known to have work
ed for a number of Gary contractors,
but whether he is the same one that
now lies IN the Laporte hospital cannot
be ascertained.
Mrs. Nugent was young and of very
striking appearance. At the time of
leaving Gary it is thought that Nugent

POLICE CLUB
UPHELD BY
THE COURT
Judge Knots Decides in
Favor of Police Officers
Who Use Stick on the
Heads of Obstreperous
Foreigners.

A case was tried in the Gary citv
police court last night before Judge
Knots. in which Captain August New
man is said to have beaten down John
Montjan without provocation, while
making an arrest at his boarding house.
1880 Broadway, on Tuesday night
In trying the case Judge Knots
was placed In embarrassing position.
as he stated that If he believed the
testimony of three of Gary's police
men, who have been in the service for
years. he would have to disbe1ieve the
evidence of the foreigners, who claim
ed that Newman struck the man down
with his club without the least proc
cation
The testimony of the six foreigners
was discriminating enough, but as it
appeared to Judge Knots and others
who attended the trial, the evidence
had ben concocted. as each foreigner
told the same story, even to the min
utest detail
H,~tory of Case.
The story CT the case is as follows.
Last tuesday night about o'clock
Paul Andre appeared at the local po-
lice station with several ugly wounds
in his head from which blood was flow
ing freely. He told the story of how
he had been attacked by two fellow
roomers at the boarding house of John
MontJan, 1890 Broadway, which is
upstairs over the Boston store
Captain Newman with Officers Null
cahey and Curtis went to Mountains
place to arrest the two men. He step
ped inside the boarding house keeper s
place and asked Andre to identity his
assailants Andre identified one of the
men but the other could not be found.
