Jasper County Democrat, Volume 5, Number 35, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 December 1902 — WERE EASY MARKS. [ARTICLE]

WERE EASY MARKS.

The White County grand jury investigated the Wolcott prize fight in which a number of Rensselaer sports were prominently mixed up, and as a result a few indictments were returned, two of which were against the principals, “Kid” Hennessy, of Frankfort, and Wright, or “Kid” Landis, as he is professionally known, of this city. Hennessy is understood to be now under arrest at Frankfort on the charge of obtaining goods under false pretenses, but Wright has not been arrested, we understand at this writing. If those Wolcott witnesses had got a few pointers from the Rensselaer fellows whom we understand were before the late grand jury here, which attempted to enquire into the Carnival prize fight, they wouldn’t have known there was a fight pulled off within a thousand miles of them. The Wolcott sports are dead easy.
