I La Crosse by either pleading guilty or
not testifying at all.
| One Levins attempted to serve the
Heytens family with his testimony. A
search into his personal doings and
character caused him to admit that he
was an old penitentiary bird. He ad-
mitted that he had been fined in supe
rior court for robbing cars and he also
admitted that, in 1917, he was serving
a term in Waupun for robbing a Jew.
Stewart McCutcheon, a former alder
man of Superior, decided that his
family alibi" would be dangerous to
spring, therefore did not use it. He
was found guilty of breaking the fed
eral liquor law and fined $3.50. He
presented the pauper's oath, therefore
the, government paid the expenses of
the defendant witnesses to La Crosse
from Superior.
| Charles Hooper, who conducted a
barber shop in the front of the Nc
Cutcheon place, was fined 5000 for vio-
lation Of the liquor regulationss
One Brown, who went to La Crosse
as witness for the McCutcheon bunch,
kept away from both the witness stand
and the courtroom while down there.
| When the Thiel detectives saw him,
they at once knew he was the man who
sold booze in the Commercial hotel on
Tower avenue and oyer Ely's bar at
Allouez. Had he not kept his distance,
arrest would have been made then and
there.
Frank Fischer was found guilty but,
for some reason, the court deferred
sentence. Fischer's headquarters for
low moral endeavor are 400 Third St.
When the La Crosse jurymen heard
about his Midway and Halfway house,
it did not take them long to know
| what kind Of business he was con-
1ucting and to bring in a verdict Of
guilty. There were several counts
| against Fischer, Ed Hanton q erstwhile
PARTNER and bosom friend, but Judge
eanhorn cut the lot down to two Of.
| lenses.
Frank Fischer, by the way, most
surely faces prosecution for perjury.
In case some months ago, he testi-
fled, under oath, that he was in an au-
'omobile accident at the time he was
accused of vending booze. He boil
stored up his case by testimony of Gan
non and George Wicker. The alibi
was strong enough to induce Judge
Parker to acquit Fischer.
1t now transpires that the accident
was goodly number Of days earlie'
than the date Fischer claimed. Per
sonal witnesses, court records, hotel
registers and other testimony now are
available to prove that Fischer per.
iured himself when he swore to certain
acts in Judge Parker's courts It is
officially stated that arrest and prose-
cution for perjury certainly will come.
