COUPLE APPEAL TO
SUPERIOR COURT

George Sczypniak and his wife Mary.
say they've been treated unjustly BY
the Superior court OF Hammond. They
blame their misfortune to the fact that
they do not understand the English
language and were not acquainted
with the operation OF courts.
Last April John Bur<hot OF Ham
mond recovered Judgment in the sum
Of $3.50 against them for damages on
account Of assault and battery George
and Mary did not appe o. and the iudge
ment went to B7lrkhot by default after
his testimony was hearo
This morning the defendants in the
frst suit filed a petition through At
torney z G Sproat. asking to have the
Judgment set aside and praying for an
injunction against Sheriff Lewis Barnes
70 prevent him from serving an exc
cution which is now in his hands
The Sczypniaks say that they have
an entirely different story OF the as
sanlt and battery which occurred in
june 1919 Burkhot they say. came
to- their home while the husband was
away and brutaly assaulted Mrs.
Sczypniak. attempting to force her to
have improper relations with him. As
the woman was about TO be overpower-
ed her husband arrived and treated
Burkhot pretty roughly
They are confident that IL the court
had heard their side of the story.
Burkhot would never have been grant
ed the judgment. Until the matter
has been acted upon again. it is urged
that the hand of the sheriff be stayed
as the serving of the execution VIII
mean the sale Of their COW and fur
niture because they have no money.
