The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1922-11-02
IN MUNICIPAL COURT

A few weeks ago the cars of Louis
Kinderman collided with the car of
Harry Jagodinsky at Four Corners,
three miles from the city. In Munich
pal court last week the court heard all
about it in a suit brought by Kinder
man who claims S495, just within the
courts jurisdiction, for damage to the
car. He alleges that Jagodinsky was
all to blame. The court soon looked
like the back yard of the Manitowoc
Metal company, the Kinderman car
having evidently been gathered up in
baskets and brought in as an exhibit
The court is ponderng over the evi-
dence between trials.
Marion Decker, II years of age,
passenger in the Kinderman car is still
at the hospital as result of the acci-
dent and it is reported that a large
personal injury case will follow.
Mrs. Dickson won the now justly ia,
nous oboe case. Emil Swenson
claimed that his precious oboe was
ruined by deluge of liquid from
above as he was standing in front of
the Manitou Hotel engaged in harm
less conversation with some friends
about midnight. The case attracted
considerable attention, even to verse in
a Milwaukee paper. The court after
the due deliberation that the ruin of
an oboe demanded found that the
missing link was sufficient proof that
Mrs. Dickson did the deed
1t appears that it is necessary in law
to connect the defendant with the al
legged oboecide IA order to mulct her in
damages; a reasonable rule one must
say. This cause celebre has served
the purpose of apprising the public of
the fact that there is such thing as
an oboe, though why the furious de-
luge when Swenson wasn't using it
will remain a mystery.
Mrs. Mary Crober who not only
pleaded guilty to having recently had
unlawful relations with three men her
self, but was also accused of contribut-
ing to, or having guilty knowledge of,
her IL year old daughters criminal re
L. Al a
fenced Friday to five years in the
state prison. She pleaded guilty to-
three counts. Two of the men, Hitch
cock and Sires. on pleas of guilty"
drew Is years and 10 years respectively
for their relations with the girl.
The third, Engel, pleaded not guilty
and his hearing was set for Wednes-
day, this week.
Another civil action of father against
son occupied the boards in municipal
court all Tuesday afternoon. Leo Nnuk
Sr. rented house in the Seventh ward
to his son Leo Jr., and brought this
action in unlawful detainer to oust
him for alleged default in rent. The
son alleged at the trial that on assur-
anceS from the father that the prop
erty would go to the son by gift later
he, the son, has spent $3.50 on improve
ments; that he the old gentleman had
repudiated the debt and that the son
had applied part of the debt of $3.50
on the rent. The plaintiff father claim
ed that this was not the kind of an
action in which such a claim could be
set up. There were knotty legal prob
lens and disputed facts, all of which
the court has under adviSement.
The parents Of Louis Lesperance
run a boarding house at Two Rivers.
Louis found" pair of gloves belong
ing to a boarder He didn't need
time barter problem presented itself of
finding a man who had an extra shirt
and needed gloves. Louis found him
and the exchange was consummated.
The boarder recognized his gloves on
the street and in consequence Louis
paid $40 for the shirt and then lost it,
The final reel in the sordid Krober
serial was run Wednesday when the
court discharged Floyd Engel on pre-
limnary examination. He had pleaded
not guilty and there was no testimony
against him except that of Mrs Krober
and her daughter, which veered this
way and that as the exigencies of the
occasion seemed to require. 1t was
utterly unreliable and the court re-
fused to hold Engel on it without CO.
roboration and the District Attorney
made no objection. A total of thirty
years was doled out to three individ-
uals and by-stander said that the
court was pretty generous with other
peoples time.
