HANK GRANGER BOUND OVER TO GRAND JURY

Kentland Justice Places Thayer Man Under SI,OOO Bond Which Jim Craig Signs.

Hank Granger, the Thayer citizen whose name has been connected with the Chicago stolen automobile cases was bound over to the Newton county grand jury Thursday by Justice Mock, of Kentland. The case, however, has nothing to do with the auto cases, but the affidavit against Granger was, based upon information given to toe prosecutor and detectives by Charles Shinklq, who is serving a 90-day sentence in the Jasper county jail on his plea of guilty in robbing the Adams ranch house near Thayer. Shinkle implicated Granger in the robbery and based upon 'his statement the affidavit was filed. Prosecutor-elect Reuben Hess and T. B. Cunningham, of Kentland, represented the state and Attorneys Hal'leck and Parkinson, of ithis the defendant. They feel certain that the evidence agaipst Granger and the character of the state’s witness will result in his being cleared, if indeed, the next Newton counity grand jury even indicts 'him. Granger was released on SI,OOO bond, signed by James Craig, of Thayer. There is nothing new in the automobile business and it is possible that the habeas corpus proceeding by which Andrew Granger secured his release may terminate the cases.
