A.ttornevs in Desperate At
tempt to Save Client
PAROLED !!l A YEAR
The Indiana Banker and Politician
May Not Have To Wear Stripes
i Lang If He Behaves
Thos J. McCoy is making a game
fight to keep from behind the bars.
His attorneys will use every means at
their command to save their client
from punishment, but it will avail
nothing and Mr. McHugh thinks that
by September 1 they finally will
have exhausted all their ammunition
If Judge Farber denies a new trial,
and the supposition is that he will
deny it, after hearing an argument
that must neeeossarily take up some
.time, the defense will ask for an ar
rest of judment. That will not con
sume much time, because there will
be no argument, no record, and Judge
Farber can pass on it in five minutes.
In demanding an arrest, of jud
ment the defense will set up the
indictment is not good, but as Judge
Farber, before the trial began, said
the affidavits were - uxl, it is not like
ly he will c.'iule himself.
If this fails, then there will bo a
judment on the finding of the jury
and McCoy will go to the peniten
tiary, provided the Supreme Court
refuses to grant the. supersedeas that
will be asked.
Will "Do" only One Year.
So, if McCoy takes the trip, behave
himself in prison, obeys all the rules
and has a good record as a prisoner,
he will be paroled- after one year's
service, but the other two years will
hand over him and he will be what
jsed to be called in England, a
ticket of Leave man;" that is , he
must report every month for two
years to the prison authorities. He
must serve his time his case is pend
ing in the Supreme Court on an ap
peal. Commenting on the outcome of the
case, W. H. Blodgett of the India
napolis News says.
"And what is the of it all?
One whose dark hair is beginning
to be streaked woth gray, at the
time in life when he should be able
to lean back and say, "I have lived
well," is about to don the felon's
stri,.?".
Another is tottering on the edge
of the grave, and just as his life's
Bin is going down it throws a shadow
across the walls of a prison.
The wreck of one mansion; another
lonely and deserted."
Tom McCoy's maxim in life was
"I would rather live fifteen years
than stay here fifty. "He is paying
the penalty of fifteen years.
No McCoy Avenue
The people of Rensselear are now
demanding that the name of one of
their principal streets shall be chan
ged from McCoy Ave, to Milroy Ave.
The EveningRepubliean in com
menting on the proposed change,
hinting at the bitterness that there
is against the McCoys because of the
scandal they have caused in the beau
tiful little country seat of Jasper
County says.
"The name should have been Mil
roy Ave. in the first place, had not
the spirit of Toodyism been stronger
than the spirit of patriotism." )

years. Furthermore he was dis

pelled to pay a fine of $50.
ST. JOHN TOWNSHIP IS
BEADY FOR HIGH SCHOOL.
Eighth Grade Graduating Exercises
Were Held at St. John
Last Evening.
The first bell for a high school for
St. John township was sounded last
evening by County Superintendent
W. R. Curtis at the commencement
exercises of the St. John's township
eighth grade.
The exercises were held at St.
John in Rammer's hall, for the first
time in the history of the village.
Other graduates have gone forth
from the schools but there were no
commencement exercises for them
with the exception of once when six
years ago the eighth grade class
graduated formally at Dyer.
Commencement exercises being of
such an unusual occurrence in the
township, the exercises last night
drew out an unusual number of
patrons who came to see and hear
that of which they had heard before.
Standing room in the spacious hall
was at a premium. The exercises
took place according to the program,
and went well like exercises of that
nature always do. Trustee Weis of
St. John township presented the
graduates with, the well earned di
plomas and Supt. Curtis colsed the
exercises with a short talk to the
graduates and the patrons.
Short as his talk was, it was of
.such a nature that it will bear fruit.
He dwelt on the value of commence
ments but more particularly on the
meaning of commencements. In the
course of his talk he lead up to the
value of the high school and showed
results of a high school education in
figures and statistics. His words
fell on fertile soil when he finally
said that St. John township can have
a high school of its own and so give
the children an equal chance with
the children in the other townships
of the county.
Reminding the patrons of their
good gravel roads for the children to
travel, their low taxes, the good
financial standing of the township
and the fact that good buildings for
a high school are already in exist
ence, he gained hearty supporters
among the audience.
It was Mr. Curtis' first appearance
in St. John since his appointment to
the county superintendence and he
was well received.
The evening's program was as fol
lows: March.

sideration of the sale is not made
public but is known to run well into
the thousands. The equipment of
the Invalid Appliance company was
considered by those familiar with
it as the most complete and elaborate
of any wood working establishment
in Chicago. Mr. Erlebach has a
growing business which has required
constant growth the past year and
the addition of the machinery will
bring his factory second to none in
this part of the country. A very
substantial increase to the present
quarters is planned and with the in
creased help necessary for the new
equipment the local plant will soon
assume front rank among Hammond
industries.
The enlarged woodworking shop
will make a specialty of high grade
cabinet work and fine furniture in
cluding the class of goods formerly
put out by the Invalid Appliance
company which Mr. Erlebach bought
out.
One of the local concerns in Ham
mond has promised to see that the
new plant has all the work it can
turn out for some time to come and
thus Mr. Erlebach's success is as
sured. While the new plant will not hire
as many men as some of the larger
factories but as they must all be ex
pert workers, the young factory will
from the start have a large expense
and will rank high among our indus
tries in value producing.

Costs are Very High.
There is much comment about
town about these cases being filed in
the justice court instead of the city
com., because of difference In fines
of the two courts.

fine and costs in the city court could
not have exceeded $11.00, $1.00 be
