1t is believed that perhaps the case
which Judge Becker had in mind was
that of the States VS.. Stanislaw Statha-
copolis who stabbed a big bully who
had been Fostering him for months.
Greek Pardoned.
In this case there was no question
that Stathacopolis killed his man but
there were extenuating circumstances.
Stathacopolis was convicted of murder
and sentenced to imprisonment for life
Attorney Milo Bruce represented him in
this and afterward secured his
pardon. This is the only case in which
any criticism could possibly have been
made.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Ross
said today that during his term as
deputy prosecutor in which he had
handled a large number of criminal
cases and in which he had secured 81
convictions for crimes of a more seri-
Gus character he did not believe that
single man had been railroaded to
JAIL
He said he believed that as a rule
Lake County juries had done their duty
conscientiously and that the fact that
so many convictions had been secured
induced a large number of criminals
to enter pleas OF guilty thereby saving
the county great deal of expense.
There is disposition to criticize
Judge Becker but the opinion among
the criminal lawyers of the city, in
Guiding such men as Joseph Conroy, 3.
E. Boone and others is that he is mis-
taken when he declares that foreigners
get the worst of it with Lake County
juries They say that the actual fig
ures do not bear out the facts.

A most OUTRAGEOUS" LC
BY THE LEGAI
Through the efforts of the
Legal Aid society "one of the
worst cases of loan shark extor-
ton has been brought tolight, the
victim released from the clutches
of the shark, and the claim set
tied, but not until the borrower is
said to have paid nearly ten times
the amount of the original loan.
In 1908 the borrower "a rail
road switchman, whose name is
not printed as it might cause him
to lose his position) borrowed $35
from C. E. Davis, who conducts
a loan agency at 80 w. Randolph
street.
His son was sick, and he needed
money Immediately. With wife
and child sos month, his salary,
was just enough TO live on, and
gave no chance to lay by little
something for sickness.
According to the borrower he
had paid $3.50 every month since
1908 on this debt, but he was
never given a receipt for the
money. The collector came to
him as he worked on the railroad
and took the money. There were
no witnesses. These payments
continued until the switchman
had paid't to the company, he said,
1886. The company claimed it
had received no money for sew
eral years.
All of this was on the original
note of S35. Three hundred and

The break came last month. A
representative of the loan agency r
called and demanded that the

man refused. The company
threatened. Still ne refused.
