from the northern Indiana city, he be-
lieved that 1t was imperative for the
state to step in and be sure that the

utmost vigor

Especial to THE TIMES. }

Crown Point, Ind, Sept. 22.-Though
attorneys for both the prosecution and
defense in the Gary bribery scandal
cases were on deck here bright and
early this morning, court was not con-
vened until 80 this afternoon because
of the non-arrival of Judge Vernon
Van Fleet of South Bend. who was to
have come to the Lake circuit court
for the purpose of arguing a motion
for a change of venue in the cases of
the state VS. Knots, Bowser, Nyhoff
and williston-all of Gary.
Court Convenes at 1s30.
Judge Van Fleet arrived in Crown
Point at 1890 and dined before court
was convened His failure to put in an
appearance IN the cases this morning
was due entirely to misunderstan
fling. he being under the impression that
the first session was set for this after
noon.
The affldavits for a change of venue.
accompanied by thousands of names
on petitions. signed by friends of the
accused. as well as the counter-affida-
Wits secured by the states attorneys
were all put in Judge Van Fleets
hands and the arguments begun.
Puts TIMES ON Trial.
The tenor of the affdavits for the
change of venue showed a surprisingly
bitter feeling against certain newspa-
pers in Lake county and the personal
feeling betrayed in the context of the
affidavit was matter of speculation
| and comment.
The affidavit in particular singled
| out THE TIMES and indicated in Knots
mind that THE TIMES and not he is on

"The papers stated that I had pre-

fees or salary, but l did present a bill
for 500 for travelling expenses and hotel
bills during the 81 months l acted as
receiver. Judge Langan allowed this
instantly. During my r~eceivership !
travelled hundreds of miles strictly on
bank business. paid my own hotel bills
and railroad fare, which amounted to a
good many hundred dollars, and finally
presented a bill for 800. That is all
aver got or asked for on account of SER
vices and expenses during my 81 months
as receiver.
"It is true, as Judge Langan said
that the affairs of the bank we're rotten
to the core.' They we're rotten before
the bank busted, and 1t had been
through six other hands before / ever
got hold of it. managed to collect
something over $50. 900. and q Of this
amount l paid all the expenses OF the
receivership, reduced some debts in
