the fact that It had been signed Sunday might Invalidate it.
So If, under these circumstances.
Dean Is arrested and charged with per
jury it will be for the purpose of dis
crediting-' him as a witness and It will re-eal, only too plainly, the desperate straits. Into which the defense has found Itself.
And even if the defense Is fooling
enough to think that it would strength
en Its caues by discrediting Dean there is a grave odubt as to whether or not the prosecuting attorney would be a
party to such a scheme by approving
the affidavit." It Is Inconceivable that he would go to such an extreme.
The affidavit against Dean was to
have been filed In the Lake Superior
court at Hammond Saturday afternoon.
It did not make its appearance on the entry docket. Then it was to appear
the first thing this morning and up to
noon It had not been filed. Dean's arrest has been threatened for three
weeks.
But even if it is filed the fact that
while "W. F. Hodges is equally as guilty
of the perjury charge as Dean while Dean is the onVy one to be arrested makes it all the more evident that the purpose is not to punish two men gulltv of an infraction of the law but to get even with one of two equally guilty
men because that one is believed to have some damaging evidence against
one Thomas E. Knotts.
The whole motive of the perjury
move is so patent on the face of it that a prominent criminal lawyer in Ham
mond said this morning that it is In
conceivable that two lawyers, such as
represent the defense in these cases, would make such a foolish move.

that no doubt some of the cases would never come to trial, he started a county-wide discussion. "What did the judge mean?" is asked on all sides.
The best answer Is that the Judge's meaning can be taken as having two
sides to It, and that he merely spoke from past experience. Lawyers say that the4 judge meant that if the state obtained a couple of convictions at the outset that here would be a rush of confessions obviating the necessfty of further trials, inasmuch as the defendants would throw themselves upon the mercy of the court. ' ; . .
The other side Is that should the j state fail in its strong cases it will; not go ahead with the weak ones. State Satisfied With Porter. The action of Judge Van Fleet on
Saturday granting- the four defendants their plea for a change of venue is satisfactory to -Special Prosecutors Parker and Hodges. While the state might- have possibly prevented the cases, going to Porter county and might have sent them to some other
county, doing so would have eliminated
Judge Van Fleet. Inasmuch as the
