SHORT COMPLAINT
FILED IN COURT

One of the shortest complaints which
was ever filed in $4,000 personal in
jury suit was filed in the Lake superior
court today by Attorneys Knots,
Sheerer and Henderson
The complaint merely alleges that
on Jan. /, 1911. the plaintiff. Peter
Koch. was injured by the acts of the
defendants without the fault of the
plaintiff.
In all the complaint does not con-
tain more than 65 words. and If the
plaintiff gets a Judgment for $500 it
will be the modest sum of 500 a word.
Attorney George B. Sheerer. one of
the attorneys for the plaintiff said this
morning that runners for Chicago law
yers and some for Hammond lawyers
had made life miserable for Koch and
he asked that the complaint be filed to
put an end to it all. The complaint
will, of course be amended later on.

UNUSUAL
PROCEEDING
TAKES PLACE

An incident of not more than pass
ing interest occurred in the trial of the
case of the State of Indiana VS. 10
Golombos charged with the murder of
Paul Vitzay of Gary.
Attorney d. f. Boone. who together
with Clarence Bretsch is defending
Golombos, stated to the court that a
juror had told him that another juror
had expressed an opinion in the case.
He then moved that the entire jury
be dismissed and that a new jury be
sworn. At this juncture Attorney D..
J. Moran, who is representing the state
said that IL any of the jurors were so
close to Boone that they would come
to him and tell him a story of that
character that he too would like to
have the jury dismissed and the casa
continued for the term
Boone was very much opposed to
continuing the case for the term and
the matter was finally dropped. The
state began the introduction of testi-
mony. The case will take two days
more and will be resumed Monday.
