JUDICIAL
RULING IS

great deal has been said about the

The court over-ruled the denur on the

His Family Sooner.

Stanlius kummecowskf. the Indiana
Harbor moral pervert and social men
ace for whom a Hammond paper and
II. f. Granger have been seeking to
arouse sympathy, was sentenced to 80
days in the county fail at Crown Point
by Judge Johannes Eopelke Tuesday
He was found guilty Of the charge
Of assault and battery. the only charge
upon which he could be held. although
II was proven that he was guilty Of
bestfal orense against nature for which
there certainly ought 10 be a penalty.
His victim was all for several weeks
Kummecow skis crime is unspeak-
able. the details are unprintable but it
was impossible to hold him longer un
der the charges that have been PREFER
ed against him.
1t was shown that the poverty and
distress in his home was the result of
his own worthlessness and that mis- free
dom would not help his family much
So it was the fact that no charge
could be discovered that would cover
his case resulted in his conviction on
the minor charge These are the facts
as related by Deputy Prosecuting At
torney Ralph W Ross to a TIMES re-
porter today
Ross has evidence to show that the
conduct OF the defendant was bestfal
and men have been lynched for acts far
i less serious. Kummecowskf will be
watched for further evidences of his
perverted nature and viii be arrested
again at the first opportunity.
In the meantime the family viii have
to get along for 80 days at least.
