Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 220, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 September 1910 — Judge Darroch, of Kentland, to Try Case Against Commissioners, [ARTICLE]

Judge Darroch, of Kentland, to Try Case Against Commissioners,

The attorneys for the state and the defense having failed to agree on a judge to hear the case of the State -vs. Clinton L. Bader, et al, being the case against the commissioners of Jasper county, Judge Hanley appointed William Darroch, of Kentland. Owing to the fact that all the courts are in session in neighboring counties it was impossible to get a regular judge at this time and the defendants were anxious that the case should be tried at this term of the court. Mr. Bader asked for a change of venue from the court, meaning to disqualify Judge Hanley. He acted separately from the commissioners, all of whom would have been glad to have had Judge Hanley try the case. The matter of separating it and trying Bader separately was suggested, but Judge Hanley thought this would be impossible owing to the fa& that the session is certain to be crowded and that the cases would be thrown over to the next term. The cases will now be tried jointly, coming up Monday, Sept. 26th.
