INDICTED MAN
TAKENIN COURT
Grand Jury Indictment Re-
turned Against SedOroOk
Served Promptly.
TRIALS ON MONDAY
Defendants May Ask Change
of Venue and Some May
Plead Guilty.

Harry Sedorook was named in an in
1ictment returned by the special Keno
sha county grand jury late Tuesday at
ternoon and he was taken into custody
by Sheriff Rauen within two minutes
after the copies for his arrest had been
signed by Judge Belden. In fact, Har-
nv was waiting at the church" He
was within the call of the chairman Of
the grand jury when the indictment
was handed down.
Sedorook had been arrested at Argo,
ILL.,, only few days ago and at the
time of the indictment on Tuesday he
was out on bond Of $1,000. The In
dictment of Tuesday was repetition
of former indictment brought against
Sedorook, charging him with unlawful
ly keeping a resort for purposes OF
prostitution.
Sedorook was in charge of house
just south of the Sheridan Road Inn on
the Sheridan road and it is said that
most sensational evidence against the
place had been presented to the grand
jury, making it necessary to return the
second indictment against the keeper
of the place.
Goes to Jail to Await Bcndsmen-
Sedorook's bond was placed at $1,000
under the new Indictment and he went
to the county Jail to await the coming
of bondsmen. He hoped to be able to
furnish bonds today and secure his re-
lease. He will be called for trial among
with the other men under grand jury
indictments next Monday.
The formal order Of Judge Belden
issued on Tuesday and calling all Of
the grand jury cases for trial next
Monday morning, came like bomb
shell among the defendants and the
attorneys representing them. Many of
the defendants are declared to be out
Of the city and kilograms were sent
to them, telling them to get back to
Kenosha and be ready for trial. At
torneys had hoped that the hearing Of
these cases would go over until the
October term of the court and that no
"hot weather" trials would be neces-
sary..
All Called for Monday.
Under the order of the court, all of
the defendants must appear for ar
raignment and to plead to the charges
on Monday. 1t is expected that the
entire day will be taken up with the
hearing of the pleas of the men and
that the first man to 60 to trial will
not face jury until Tuesday. 1t is
possible that there will be a demand
for change of venue on the part Of
the defendants and it has been limited
that If such a demand is made Judge
Quinlan of Marinette will be called in
to hear the cases. Judge Quinlan has
had wide experience in hearing cases
Of grand jury indictments and he is
we'll versed in the law in this connec-
ton. 1t was limited today that attor-
neys for the defendants might question
the validity of the indictments, return
ed by the grand jury, but official an
nouncement of this has not been made.
1t was said today that many of the
defendants had not as yet made COM
plete arrangements for counsel to rep
resent them.
Expect Pleas of Guilty.
The calling of the cases on Monday
is expected to bring number of pleas
of guilty from the ranks Of the de-
PENDANTS as it is said that several of
the men who have been indicted have
expressed their desire to plead guilty
and get rid IF the cases just as rapidly
as possible. 1t is not expected that the
trial of charges against former Chief
of Police Owen O'Hare will be reached
in the first week of the court term but
he is to appear on Monday and plead
along with the other defendants 1t is
said that the chief has all along been
ready to make a frank statement to
the court but that this is not to be
construed as a willingness to plead
guilty to any of the charges against
himg Court officials today declared
that they expected the trial of the
cases to last for the rest of this year
and that possibly the criminal calendar
in the court might not be cleaned up
