FOR CITY JUOGE Girl Charged With Pursuing Young Man Thought to be Insane. Is a woman necessarily insane because she pursues a man who doesn't love her and wants to marry him? This is the problem that was put up to Judge Girten in the South Chicago city court this morning when Lena Rltter, 24 years old, was brought before him on complaint of Charles Krewitz, sr., 10012 Commercial avenue. The Judge confessed his inability to decide upon the question of the young woman's sanity an dcontlnued the case two days to permit an examination to be made by an alienist. The young woman was taken from the home of Mr. Krewitz Saturday night by the patrol wagon after she had refused to go home. In his testimony this morning Mr. Krewitz stated that he had employed the Miss Ritter at various times in the past as a domestic, and that she had conceived a sentiment for his son, Charles Krewitz, Jr., which the young man did not return. After being discharged from her position, the young woman frequently called at the Krewitz home and pestered the younger Krewitz with demonstrations fo her regard for him. Last Saturday she called and removed her hat and Jacket and declared her Intention of remaining, whereupon Mr. Krewitz called the wagon. The Ritter girl told the court that she was under an irresistable spell and could not keep away, and that young Krewitz exercised an influence over her that she could not overcome. She de clared that she was sure the young man loved her, and it was not her fault that she went to the house where he lived. Other testimony was offered to prove that the young woman was a frequent caller at the market operated by the Krewitzes, and that her conduct while there was frequently embarasslng to the younger Krewitz. At the conclusion of the hearing the ca3e was con tinued ior two days so that the young woman might be examined to determine her mental condition. Gary Gets Another Workman. Claud Lawrence, who gave his resi dence as Decatur, 111., was arrested at an early hour this morning in the neighborhood of the Baltimore & Ohio yards while trying to escape from Of ficer Muchian. He explained that he was trying to find a place to sleep, and was on his way to Gary, Ind., in search of work. Judge Girten let him go on his promise to be on his way to the steel city at once. Fined for Insulting Woman. Michael Lalnt, arrested on a charge of disorderly conduct Saturday night by Officer William Keyes, was given a fine of $4 and costs this morning on the disorderly charge, and a charge of carrying concealed weapons that was made when the man was booked was dismissed. Laint was arrested on com plaint of Mary Smith, who declared the man Insulted her when she went into a saloon at 10718 Hoxie avenue for a pail of beer. She declared that Lalnt drew a knife and threatened her ! and her husband when she resented the insult. Decision in Police Case Withheld. The cases of Policemen Daniel P. Collin3 and Harry Burns, charged with assault with a deadly weapon on Stafan Chorek, a South Deering saloonkeeper, was taken under advisement by Judge Girten until next .Saturday. The case i was on trial for about four hours Sat urday In the South Chicago municipal court, and the testimony was o uch a conflicting character as to leave the court in much doubt as to what de cision to make. Church Will Give Concert. A concert will be held In the Sev enty-seventh street Methodist church, Windsor Park, Tuesday evening, April 16, at which an elaborate program of musical numbers and readings will be given.
