wanted his sweetheart to lock her best
when they take the measles quarantine
card down from hr door and allow her
to step forth. Stanley didn't have the
ready money so he wrote several checks
and purchased $40 worth or stuff for her.
Then he thought OF his mother and
spent about s35 on her. In spite OF his
good intentions he was arrested by West
Hammond police and now awaits trial.
Several stories were tcld by him and
the truth finally sifted out. John Nc
Ginty, proprietor of a West Hammond
saloon. and the Lake County Trust and
Savings Bank are his victims known to
date While prowling around the Jacob
Diamond grocery on sibley St, Ham
mond. he found several of Mr.. Diamonds
check forms He went to the McGinty
saloon Wednesday and writing one for
$3.50. presented it and received the
cash It was made payable to Jack jack
owski, a name by which he had been
known at a factory. Mr.. Diamonds
name was signed in Stanley's unframed
scrawi. Yesterday morning he took a
similar check for $3.50 10 the Lake
County Bank and It was cashed. Things
were coming his way so he wrote the
next one for $3.50. and tried to get the
money from Cornelius Monahan. another
West Hammond saloonman. Monahan
didn't have that much money, but for
the consideration Of 500 he graciously
attached his name 10 the back in order
to aid Piotrowski in getting 1t cashed at
some other place. They got Stanley be-
fore he got the money.
Piotrowski appears to be simple
minded fellow who failed to realize the
gravity of the step he was taking. \

worn working clothes. probably accounts
for the ease with which he worked his
game None Of the money was spent up-
on himself. but upon his Quarantined
sweetheart and aged mother. who lives
at 643 Forsythe ave, West Hammond.
Although twenty-nine years old, he
showed his poor judgment by offering
Chief Nitz some money to straighten the
affair UP. writing a check for s47.S0 and
signing Mr. Diamonds name in the pres
ence Of the officers.
