RANDOLPH WAUGH
WILL NOT GO TO
JOLIET PRISON
Jury Makes Error in Returning
Verdict of Guilty, Writing
Name Rudolph"
CANNOT BE SENTENCED
Application for Probation on Ground
of Good Record in Past Will
Be Made.

From all indications, Randolph
Waugh. convicted by jury in circuit
court Saturday afternoon, together
with J. ]. Cooney and Ray McGrath,
for stealing automobile tires, will new
er see the inside of the state peniten-
tiary at Joliet. Application for proba-
ton will be made by his attorney, J.
X. Scott, within a few days. and it is
understood that the state will not re-
sist the motion, if previous good record
can be shown.
This strange state of affairs, it is
claimed, is due to the fact that the
jury. in returning a verdict of guilty,
found Rudolph" Waugh to have com
mitted the offense in manner and form
as charged in the indictment. mas
much as an error was made in the
name, there being no such person as
Rudolph" Waugh indicted by the
grand jury, il is declared that the de-
PENDANT cannot be legally sent to the
penitentiary The members of the,
jury cannot be recalled to rectify the
mistake. Circuit Clerk G.. w Gamble
is required in making out commitment
papers to use the names as contained
in the verdict. while Sheriff Bruner,
being directed to take Rudolph"
Waugh to the penitentiary, could not
take Randolph Waugh.
1t is understood, however, Attorney
Scott will not take advantage of the
error. That is. he is planning to ask
that his client be placed on proba-
ticn, on the ground that this is his
first offense; that his past record has
been good: that he comes from a fine
Peoria family, his brother being a we'll
known physician in that city; and that
under the circumstances he is entitled
to parole. Motions for new trial are
to be made in the Cooney and Nc
Grath cases this week.
