Wlnnmoc People Regret the Conviction And Shock. May Prove Fatal to Bader’s Aged Father. Winamac Republican. The whole of Winamac and of Pulaski county will he shocked to learn that Clinton L. Bader, one of our leading and most desirable citizens, has been sentenced to the penitentiary, and is already on his way to Michigan City to be locked up from two to fourteen years behind stone walls and iron bars, with the thugs, the defectives, the murderers and the depraved citizens of this state. C. L. Bader is business manager of the Winamac Bridge company. The other owners of the company are George and John Frain and Atty. M. M. ( Hathaway. • * • - s--. Mr. Bader will be allowed to remain in Winamac the balance of the week. In the meantime the governor will be appealed to. He will be shown that while there was a technical violation of the law that there was no moral wrong, and a pardon will be asked for, and it is Believed will be granted.

Rev. J. H. Miller, pastor of the Winamac Presbyterian church, who is in Rensselaer helping in special meetings, saw Mr. Bader every day and reported him hopeful and in good spirits considering the crushing burden resting upon him. < Mr. Bader was home, the last few days of last week and over Sunday. When he was notified to appear in court Monday he went to Rensselaer in the best of spirits, confident that he would be released, and be from the technical but serious charge upon which he had been found guilty. His attorneys assured him that the grounds were sufficient upon which “they were asking for a new trial, and no complications were looked for. But when the judge Monday afternoon refused to grant the motion for a new trial, and when he later pronounced the sentence Mr. Bader almost collapsed. He was Shortly after taken to the sheriff’s residence where he was Mfmitted to lie. down and compose himself and to recover somewhat from the shock. When the word reached his many Winamac friends that evening, they could scarcely believe it true, Daniel Bader, father of Clinton L. Bader, who has been sick for some weeks, was made much worse by the shocking news that there was no hope of keeping his son from prison, and it is feared that the blow will kill him. One of C. L. Bader’s twin daughters is also in a critical condition as a result of the nervous shock, v The whole community feels sympathy and sorrow over the, trouble that 4 . has come to us all. Mr. Bader was no doubt no better and no worse than hundreds of men this, and who are in no danger of going to the penitentiary.' He and his associates in business were beyond question careless in respecting the full details of public contracts, but were no less careless than many others—perhaps were more conscientious ’ and careful than many. The law’s machinery was started purely through spite and Jealousy, and having been started, it ground out stern if not harsh justice, and one of our best families and the whole community suffers.
