John Luptak, one of the two young desperadoes who stole an automobile at Indiana Harbor about a month ago and were rounded up after an exciting chase in northern Newton county by the sheriff of that county and his deputies, aided by a posse of farmers, has been turned loose by the Lake county courts, it is understood, with the admonition “not to do it again.” It will be remembered that Luptak and his companion in crime, John Vaisk, were each armed with two automatic revolvers and plenty of ammunition and put up a desperate fight whrn their capture was first attempted. Luptak was taken to Lake county to answer to the charge of stealing the car, while Vaisk was held hy the Newton county officials on the charge of shooting and wounding Deputy Sheriff Daniel Ormsby of Lake Village, when the latter attempted to arrest him. Vaisk has been confined in the Jasper county jail since his capture, Newton county having no jail, and is the only prisoner that has been therein for some time.
