JUST WHIPPED HIS WIFE.
Isaac Van Hook Was in the Star Role in Police Court this MorningTwo Plain Drunks^
Isaac VanHook was the star attraction in police court this morning, and his appearance was rewarded with a fine of $10 and costs, which will detain him at Lawrence O'Donnell's hostelry for almost a month. VanHook is the husband of Viola VanHook, a character of the levee, and on an average of about once a week, when they are both out of jail, Isaac thinks that it is necessary for him to give her a thrashing. He does all the heavy sitting around, while his wife hustles for the living. Isaac has a famine breeding appetite, and when his wile fails to come forward with money sufficient to satisfy his internal craving, she gets a thrashing. She was shy on cash returns yesterday, and last night Isaac mustered up energy required to give her a whipping. The woman thought he was too extravagant with his blows and caused a warrant to be issued for his arrest. When arraigned in police court this morning he pleaded guilty and was fined the amount above mentioned.
Sylvester McGrew, who was arrested on complaint of his wife on a charge of being drunk, pleaded guilty and was fined .$1 and costs.
Aiex Caton, who also started in a little too early to celebrate Christmas, pleaded guilty to having been drunk and was fined the customary amount.
LOWERY HAS LUCK.
The Man Who Has a Penchant for Stealing Harness is Let Off With a Fine and Jail Sentence.
William Lowery, who is charged with the theft of a dozen sets of single harness, was in police court this morning and several arm-fulls of the harness he has stolen were were piled up in front of the judge, to be used as evidence against the accused. His father had employed Attorney Peter Foley to defend, and the defense consisted in a plea for leniency for the lad. After a consultation with the prosecutor and some of the prosecuting witnesses, it was agreed that Lowery plead guilty and accept a jail sentence and a fine. The fine was placed at $5 and the term of imprisonment in the jail was placed at thirty days. Before pronouncing sentence, the judge gave Lowery a lecture, warning him that when he again was at, liberty, to stay away from-his old associates and try and make a man of himself. After the court had given this warning, Detective Smith asked the court to call in a few of Lowery's associates and warn them to break away from Lowery, as he was looked upon as the "bellweather" of all the petty thieves in the south part of the city. The joke caused an outburst of laughter, throughout the entire court room, as the court's warning to Lowery was looked upon by those who knew the prisoner as being decidedly humorous.
WAS BRADFORD FIRST?
Judge I. N. Pierce, Tells of a Case Not In the County History—Was Hanged by Conner.
Though the stor^r is not related in the county history, Judjre I. N. Pierce says that LfCWia Bradford was the first man hanged in Vigo county. He says that he was one of the attorneys who prosecuted Bradford for the murder of John L. Wright. He was tried in the old court house when Judge Solomon Claypool was on the bench. He was found guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged on Jan. 4, 1861. Samuel Conner was then sheriff and the execution •was performed on a little vacant lot north of the red brick house at the southwest corner of Third and Walnut streets. That building was then used as the Jail.
Mr. Pierce was also assistant counsel for the defense of Morgan, who killed John Petri, and was in the fight on the motion for a new trial after the man had been found guilty and sentenced to be hangedt The motion was overruled and Petri was hanged December 24, 1869. The Germans were indignant at the murder of Mr. Petri, who was a prominent German, and they would have made quick work of him if they had been permitted to have had their way.
