10 BUILD
HANDSOME

Hammonds principal residential
thoroughfare, Holman street. is to be
adorned with another fine residence as
result of the purchase by James X.
Stinson, the we11-known Hammond at
torney, of II feet of Holman street
frontage from W. G. Paxton
Mr.. Stinson announces that he will
commence the erection of residence
and garage to cost not less than s1O,-
900 next spring. The property is To-
Gated at the corner of Holman and
Elizabeth street.
Mr.. Stinson has been in the market
for Homewood residence property for
some time. He made his deal with
Paxton last week and the sale was
concluded this morning
Only short time ago J. s. Blackmun
bought II feet of frontage from Wal
ter Bielefeldt in this same location 1t
is understood that Blackmun will build
a residence to cost not less than sI0,-

These two sales and the building
projects that will result from them
will give the sale of the few remain

impetus.
A number of other building projects
are proposed in Homewood this year
and it is expected that this residential

Cornelius Moor, charged with selling
liquor without a license in his saloon
in West Hammond, was discharged by
Judge Frank Green, before whom he
was tried last Saturday, and in another
action the goods which was confscatcd
by the police were ordered restored to
him.
The West Hammond city officials
were represented by Attorney Perry 8.
Patterson,l and the defense was repre-
sented by ID. e. Boone of Hammond and
Attorney Whitesides of Chicago.
Patterson made out what he declares
to be a perfect case against Moor, but
attributes his failure to secure con-
yiction to- the fact that Judge Green
sustained every objection that was
made by the defense and refused to
give him permission to get in the real
facts of the case.
Attorney D. E. Boone says that Pat
terson never had a leg to stand on;
that his case could have been thrown
out of couft for any one of half dozen
reasons.
Many Loopholes Open.
Attorney Jacob Katz is quoted by
Clerk Ignatfus Mankowski as having
said before the trial of the case began
that Moor would never be convicted;
that the affidavit against him might
tust as well be thrown into the waste
basket.
There was no representative from
the states attorneys office, as was ex-
pected. The defense insisted on an i'm
mediate trial The defense was ready;
the state was not.

The case now on trial is that of the

fact that the defendant claims that the

Hugh Brennan, the principal states
witness, the man Morris Dobson sought
to kidnap, testified that he had worked
for Moor following the revocation OF
Moor's license, and that he had seen
Moor sell liquor. He also said that hc
himself had bought liquor from Moor.
Attorneys Boone and whitesides
muddled him up. however. in spite OF
all of the objections that were made
by Attorney Patterson, and his testi-
mony did not amount to anything.
Gave Booze Away.
Judge Frank Green is quoted as say
ing that there was evidence that Moor
had given away liquor, but that there
was no evidence that he had sold it. as
was charged in the affidavit.
Following the disposal of this case
Judge Green heard the case in which
Moor sought to replevy his goods that
had been confiscated. 1t did not take
but few minutes for the court to or
der the return of the goods to the
original owner.
The case against Gertie Hayes, who
is said to have been arrested in Moor's
Colonial hotel. was continued Moor
declares that he is being prosecuted by
the police department and that he Is
going to take steps to retaliate.
The opinion is general inWes HAM
mond that Judge Green was warranted
in dismissing the case on the poor
showing made by the state, but there
is also no question that II the case had
been properly tried that Moor would
have been found guilty.
