Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 72, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 May 1909 — Names Off Remonstrance if Fraud Charge is Proven. [ARTICLE]

Names Off Remonstrance if Fraud Charge is Proven.

Special Judge Hanley, of Rensselaer, who is hearing the Gary remonstrance case at Hammond, Saturday held that if the saloon people could show that names were obtained to the remonstrance by fraud that he wduld strike them off the remonstrance. Judge Gillett immediately filed fifty affidavits signed by parties who alleged that their signatures were secured by fraud. If the court strikes their names off the list this week Gary will be “wet” again.
