GARY MAN
GIVEN A
JAR TODAY
Tried for Robbery in Lake
Superior Court; Is Found
Not Guilty and Then Jury
Finds It Has Turned in the
Wrong Verdict.

Jacob Layman OF Gary, who was
tried on the charge OF robbery in the
superior court before Judge Reiter,
experienced the joys OF mot guilty
and the sting of guilty verdict all
within minute yesterday evening.
BY mistake the jury first signed tho
mot guilty" blank. but when Judge
Reiter asked each and every member
whether this was his verdict they all
denied 1t. and they were again locked
up to prepare a guilty verdict. This
was brought in soon afterward Attor-
ney Seton of Gary Immediately made
motion for a new trial for Layman,
which will be argued next Monday.
Prosecuting Attorney J. A Patterson
and his deputy, Ralph Ross, appeared
for the state Frank Wells, a lineman
of Gary, was the complaining witness
against Laymsn- Conviction OF the
robbery charge carries with 1t a peni-
tenttary sentence of from two to four
teen years
The holdup took place in Fftzgerald's
saloon in Gary in April and as a result
his license was taken away. Wells
was robbed of 5000 and testified that
commanded his accomplice Mary Gam
BILE, with an oath to reach into Wells
pocket and get it,"
The woman was one of the principal
witnesses for the state, the charge Of
robbery against her having been drop
ped when she agreed to testify for the
state. She was represented by H E.
Granger, who advised her not to tes-
tify unless the state would drop the
charge against her. The jury was out
less than two hours.

Boom No. 1 of the Hammond 1913
mayoralty race is just exactly one day
old now and for all its extreme youth
is a fair sized cloud on the democratic
horizon. If record had been kept on
the telephone calls at $40 Summer
street last night and today some
estimate of the width and breadth of
c. j. Sharp's popularity as a candidate
could be given. If the good words re-
ceived over the phone by THE TIMES
were any indication the story aroused
some interest.

CLARIFIES
SITUATION

The issue between Judge Lawrence
Becker of the Hammond superior court
and county clerk Ernest Shortridge on
the score of issuing second papers In
the superior courts was considerably
clarified by decision of the appellate
court received in Hammond this morn
ing.
Sometime ago Judge Becker intimat-
ed that he would insist on issuing Sec
ond papers in his court. The argument
in the clerks office has always been
that no blank application papers were
on hand. To fill these out entails lot
of work, and 1t depends on the amount
of business and an extra clerk would
probably have to be hired. Heretofore
all the fees went to the United States
government but the appellate court
now holds differently.
Are Entitled to One-HaIf
According to its decision the county
clerks of the court of Indiana are en-
titled to one-half of the fees they col
lect for the naturalization of aliens. ac-
cording to the decision of the appellate

WITHDRAW
FROM THE
GARY FIELD

Because the Lake County Relief and
Protective association might possibly
conflict with the newly organized Gary
Charities, Incorporated, Chief Officer
r. (. Ricketts, today announced that
the association would remove its main
office from Gary to Hammond and that
the Gary field would be left to the To-
cal organization.
1t is possible that the main office
of the county association will be To-
Gated in the Hammond building at
Hammond.
I'VE are not aware of the scope Of
the Gary organization said Mr.. Rick
etts today. Therefore we will with
draw from Gary. This, however, does
not mean that we'll keep out perma-
nent1y, for If the local societies find
the task too big the association will
re-enter the steel city. And the asso-
ciation of which / am the head will
always cooperate with the various
Gary charity organizations"

Crown Point. June S.-The county
council yesterday made an allowance
of eighty thousand dollars for the
bridge over the canal on Dickey Place
IL Indiana Harbor. The councilmen
were convinced that allowing this
money for the Improvement would give
the north part OF the county a new
principal east and west highway. which
would shorten the distance from Gary
to Chicago considerably. The council
also aliowe dan extra FIVE thousand
dollars for the South Holman street
bridge over the Little Calumet river.
The contractors can now figure on
forty-five thousand for this job.

Remarkable Build
ing Plans Are Be-
ing Made For Re-
viving the Street

An artery Of Hammond that has long
been ciassed as a vein is being set right
In Its relation to business circulation
with the rehabiiitating of State street.
west OF Holman There are eight sub
stantial blocks to go up from the Four
Corners to the state line. without
doubt they are to be erected in the
next few months and then will come a
re-shiftng OF business back into old
channels when state line street is open
ed for travel.
A New Vaudeville House,
Those projects. though for the most
part public, have not obtained due no.
tice and as result Hammond is not
aware of the West State street boom
and that 1t is equally as worthy of at
tentfon as the centering of business on
Calumet avenue, near East State street
The biggest of these is to be a variety
theatre costing $4,000. Here is how
they line up on paper:
Lawrence Cox's brick block, costing
$4,000.
George Longs theatre block. 5ox1so.
s75.ooo.
Rose spinner's store and office build
ing.
Morton court schrogie building of
story brick.
William E1sner's block at Morton
court
Leisenfelt Bros two-story brick.
Remodeling Of old Clark building by
stock company.
Erection of depot by Green line at
Morton court.
The last two projects are not cer-
tainties. but the mere fact that they
are contemplated shows that West
State street is looked upon as good
business avenue again after years of
existence as side street. II an inter
urban connects Hammond with the new
asbestos plant real estate prices wiz
soar there.

West Hammond demands business
center nearer than the Four Corners
and 1t looks as IL conditions are bound

LocKED-oUT FRESHMAN DIES AT
THE COUNTY POOR HOUSE
The pressmen's union, yesterday,
buried one of its members who was
locked out with the others by the
Chicago Examiner May 1, 1912.
Charles Curry, SO years old, was
the member. He died in the county
poor house at Oak<Forest, and was
buried at Oak Hill cemetery.
Before the pressmen were locked
out, Curry worked in the Examiner
pressroom as a junior pressman, or
carrier. His wages were $3.50
night.
When the pressmen arbitrated in
1911, the arbitrator reduced the
wages Of journeyman pressmen and
increased the day half hour. He
also decided that the minimum wage
should be $2.45 days and $3.50
nights.
The Examiner refused to increase
the wage of juniors, but held them to
the extra half hour. Then came the
lockout of May 1, 1912, and Curry
was on the street with other mem
bers of the union.
He finally went to the poor farm
and died there. He was buried by his
brother pressmen, who are still
locked out by the Hearst and other
trust newspapers.
