Sees Old Neighbor Sentenced to Federal Prison.

Rev. Curnick went to Indianapolis Sunday night-to be present in federal court Monday when Donn •M. Roberts and the other Terre Haute election conspirators were arraigned for sentence, also to look after some other business. Rev. Curnick was pastor of a Methodist church in Terre Haute before coming to Rensselaer, living almost directly across the street from Donn Roberts. Mr. Curnick was quite active in the good citizens league work there in trying to clean ub the city, and came in for much abuse from the “boosters” —-as the Republican would call them —who objected to the high-handed manner in which the gang was running affairs. He also received numerous threats from individual members of the Roberts’ “booster” club.
