Editor Times: I have observed In jour issues of April 15 and 16, references to the case of August Miller, who, after borrowing $150 from a loan shark, was mulcted of J230 and then sued and Judgment recovered for the additional sum of $210 and costs. I do not know who was the attorney who represented the plaintiff tn this case, but I feel, as must every reputable attorney, that. If he had knowledge of the facts in the matter, he should be barred from further prac ticing the noble profession of the law. and I thoroughly sympathize with the enlightened action of Judge Becker ln calling the attention of the Lake County Bar Association to the case. I am not sanguine that the association will take the drastic action In this matter which is warranted, as these things are too frequently allowed to draft along, and sometimes the Influ ence of the culprit who in this case seems to be as much the lawyer as his client is sufficient to head off propAc action. It does seem to me, however, that the reputable lawyers of Lake County have it in their power to protect unfortunates from such preying powers as loan sharks and their equally culpable attorneys, even If the bar association fails in Its duty, and. in order that my sentiments ln this affair may be made plain in practical fashion, I desire to state, through your valuable columns, that I shall be glad to undertake the defense of any person sued by a loan shark, or give advice to any person persecuted by one of these unscrupulous animals of prey, absolutely without any charge whatever. I hope that other attorneys of the Lake county bar will evidence their sympathy with the victims of the loan sharks in the same practical manner, and I suggest that a list of all who are willing to tender their services ln such cases be made up and published by you. In this manner, as was demonstrated ln Chicago, the loan sharks may be brought to book and their extortions prevented, and It strikes me that all reputable attorneys of Hammond and Lake County should be glad to make clear, ln this way, their abhorrence of loan sharkery and of the men who desecrate the profession of the law by aiding the sharks ln their extortions. Yours truly, LEON A. BEREZNIAK. GARY COP TAKES MUCH ARMED MAN. George W.
