Tern Knotts Escapes Fine For Not Attending Jury.

Several weeks ago Tom Knotts, of Gary, was wanted as a witness before the grand jury quiz in Indianapolis, relating to the investigation about the bills that were made a part of the published laws, although they had never been passed. Tom, however, made himself scarce and it was presumed that he would be fined tor contempt. Wednesday, however, the former Gary mayor appeared to Indianapolis and explained to the judge that he had never been subpoenaed and that he was in Virginia on business at the time the grand jury was to session. There was no evidence to the contrary and Tom was dismissed.
