Jasper County Democrat, Volume 15, Number 12, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 May 1912 — Arrested on a Perjury Charge. [ARTICLE]

Arrested on a Perjury Charge.

, Sheriff Hoover arrested H. D. Vance Thursday and took him to Logansport to answer a grand jury indictment charging perjury. .. Mr. Hoover did not learn, the particulars of the charge, but it is believed they grow out of some real estate deal or trade Vance had made. Bond was fixed at SSOO, which he had failed to secured at the time Mr. Hoover left Logansport, and the prospects were not very good for securing a bond, he thought. Mr. Vance came here a few months ago from Logansport and traded with W. R. Lee for the Home Grocery and the Holden property in the northwest part of town, Lee getting a farm near Kniman and—was to get—so head of Montana homes. Later it developed that Vance was unable to deliver the horses and he secured Lee for the amount they represented by a

mortgage on some other real estate. Of course a grand jury hears but one side of the case, and whether there is anything in ihe charges remains to be seen. Mr. Vance told the sheriff that there was not.
