Crawford, Goes to Prison.

At Crown Point Thursday Justice Crawford, of Hammond, who was found guilty of embezzlement by a jury in the Lake Circuit court some months ago, was. brought before Special Judge Kopkelka and formally sentenced to Prison North. Steps will be taken at once to have Governor Mount pardon Crawfcrd. Crawford is nearly 80 years old, and as he has been in jail a long time it is thought that he has been sufficiently punished, without going to the penitentrary.
