PATERNITY CASE INSTITUTED A transcript of the paternity proceedings recently brought by Nellie Knapp of Wheatfield township in Squire Dean’s court, have been filed in the Jasper circuit court.. The case is entitled "State of Indiana ex rel Nellie Knapp vs. James Hoeferlin.” The relatrix is a school teacher of Jasper county and in the evidence taken at the i preliminary hearing before Squire Dean she testified that the child was born to her —on October 9, 1914, at the Florence Crittenton home in Indianapolis, to which place she went the August previous, and that her parents knew nothing of the matter until some time after the child was born; that when about two months old the child was brought to the home of John May, several miles southeast of Rensselaer, where it now is; that relatrix had been keeping company with defendant for about a year before the child was begotten; that relatrix taught school again in Jasper county 1915 and 1916 and i>art of 1917; that this action had been delayed because relatrix hoped that defendant would marry her as he had to do several times since. 1914. The court found that the defendant was guilty as charged and he was bound over to the circuit court under SSOO bond, which he gave, and the case will come up at the September term before Judge Hanley.
