For Lake County voters today were
still being urged to remember at the
polls the spectacular bluff which freed
John Dillinger from Crown Point Jail
and at the same time were being told
county officials should not be held
responsible for the successful jail
break.
Chief interest lies in the effort Of
Prosecutor Robert Estill to be re-
nominated and the attempt Of Carroll

the county's lady sheriff. Mrs. Lillian
Holley, to obtain the nomination fol-
sheriff. Both are Democrats.
Estill, while exonerated without
