FRANK GIVES UP
TO AUTHORITIES
Alleged Bogus Whiskey
Agent Gives Bonds For
Hearing.

Indiana Harbor, Dec. 90. Abraham
Frank, the alleged bogus whisky agent,
who is charged with having drugged
and robbed John Pora, an Indiana Har-
Dor saloonkeeper. of $500 gave him
self up to the Lake county authorities
today in Judge Jordan's court. He
came with his attorney this morning
and gave bonds for his appearance in
the superior court in the sum of $4,000.
The case was practically won a week
ago today. but Judge Gibbons, who has
been hearing the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings and in whose court Frank had
fled $4,000 bonds for his appearance
wished to be lenient. and gave the pris-
oner until Wednesday before he rend-
cred his decision in order that he might
spend Christmas with his family.
On Wednesday Sergeant Barker
representing the police department
and Joseph A. Meade. deputy prescott
ing attorney. went in to make the final
arrangements for the turning over OF
the prisoner to the local authorities
hut Frank was given until Friday to
deliver himself up voluntarily to the
sheriff of Lake county, or to appear fir
the circuit court on point of FORGETTING
his $4,000 bond IL he failed to thus de-
liver himself or appear in the Chicago
court.
The case promises to be one Of the
most bitterly contested in the histor,
| of Lake county criminology. Frank
will summon an army of witnesses r.
prove that he was not in Indiana Har-
Dor the day when he is supposed I
have administered the sleeping potion
to Pora and robbed him of his big roll
On the other hand Pora and his wit
nesses are prepared to swear absolutel,
that 1t was Frank and none other VIII,
deprived him of his money.
