Fine Saws Bound in Bible Sent to Lake County Prisoners.

Crown Point Star. Deputy Sheriff Kilborn is taking a prisoner to Hammond each day, who is on trial there and is considered one-of the worst men in the Chicago gangs. He was captured in the north end of the county with three other crooks in his company, 6nd their errand to Hammond and Gary was to pass counterfeit SSO bills and rob cash registers. His pals, with a pretended lawyer, have made trouble at our jail in wanting to visit him, and a parcels post package containing a leather bound Bible was recently received at the jail for him, which on examination proved to have two fine saws bound under the back. It has already been shown that he is a very bad man and crook and it is quite certain with the proof now in that he will get a long sentence to the Michigan City prison. The officers during the trips back and forth to Hammond and in court are obliged to be on the lookout the entire time, for his case is now proving desperate for his chances of going free.
