Appeals and Respites Fail
to Save Former Gary Justice of Peace INDIANAPOLIS. Tnd., Nov. 15. After a delay of nearly two years, due to an appot-1 to the circuit ourt of aipeals at Chicago and to one respite of thirty days and a second resptte of sixty days, Edward A. Gross, formerly a justice of the peace at Gary, Frida evening began serving a sentence Jf ib: months in the Marion county Jail. After being convicted of violating th"i Iteed amendment. Gross was sentenced by Judge A. B. Anderson in December. 1318, to serve six months in jail and to pay a fine of 500 and cost. Boosted of Tower. Gross is reputed to have powerful political Influence in Lake county and he is said to have boasted since conviction that he would never servo time, as he had a friend in "Wesnington who was "close to the President." Before the state went "dry." he conducted a wholesale and retail liquor establishment on the floor beneath his Justice of the peace office. He was arrested on a charge of transporting liquor into the state seventeen days after the state prohibition law became effective. Petition for rardon. After the court of appeals had affirmed the lower court, but before the mandate of the supper court had been received. Gross petitioned the pardon board for executive clemency. The petition was signed by many prominent business and professional men of Gary. The pardon board passed unfavorably on the petition. Gross then submitted a supplemental memorandum setting forth additional evidence which he said proved his innocence. In connection with this supplemental memorandum, the board considered a report from Floyd J. Mattlce. assistant United States district attorney, setting forth evidence to controvert that ot the defendant. Says Lvidence YVos Mnnafacnred "The so-called newly discovered evidence on which Gross asked the pardon board to reconsjder his case, said Mr. Mattice Friday, "was found, on investigation, to be manufactured." Gross's political power, U is said, arises from the fact that, as an educated and shrewd Hungarian, he had become the recognized leader of a large group of foreigners whose vote generally swung elections for such candidates as were favored by Gross.
