The rest of the group does different things. Most sell food on foot or in fixed locations. One member is a taxi driver, and others sell beauty products through catalogs. The group as a whole has plenty of experience running small businesses and the members are well known at the various fairs where they sell their products. Even though there is a lot of competition in their fields, they can count on their experience and regular customers who know of their businesses and insist on their services. They are also very enthusiastic about what they do.
They will use the money from this loan to proviD. working capital, to buy tools and supplies, in order to improve their work. Miguel will use his portion to buy repair parts for his vehicle.
The group will continue to work and take advantage of this financing in order reach their goals. The bank has plenty of experience with loans, as this is not the first time that they have borrowed money; however this will be first loan through our institution. The group has already demonstrated that its members are responsible and punctual.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Date Published:

When the Imperial prison barge Purge–temporary home to five hundred of the galaxy's most ruthless killers, rebels, scoundrels, and thieves–breaks down in a distant, uninhabited part of space, its only hope appears to lie with a Star Destroyer found drifting, derelict, and seemingly abandoned. But when a boarding party from the Purge is sent to scavenge for parts, only half of them come back–bringing with them a horrific disease so lethal that within hours nearly all aboard the Purge die in ways too hideous to imagine.
And death is only the beginning.
The Purge's half-dozen survivors–two teenage brothers, a sadistic captain of the guards, a couple of rogue smugglers, and the chief medical officer, the lone woman on board–will do whatever it takes to stay alive. But nothing can prepare them for what lies waiting aboard the Star Destroyer amid its vast creaking emptiness that isn't really empty at all. For the dead are rising: soulless, unstoppable, and unspeakably hungry.
From the Hardcover edition.
This is Star Wars at its scariest, blending the tension of waking-dead movies into the epic legacy of the Star Wars universe. An Imperial barge--ominously and appropriately this ship for transporting ruthless galactic criminals is named Purge--stalls out deep in space. Disastrously far from any civilization or assistance, the passengers' hopes momentarily soar at the discovery of an abandoned Star Destroyer floating directionless and untethered. But what appears to be salvation turns out to be damnation--the ship is contaminated by a horrifying and deadly plague, while a brutal horde of ravenous dead stalk the ships' echoing passageways.

How is it possible that anyone can walk into a gun shop and purchase unneeded assault weapons, with no one ever questioning his motives?
If after the horrific and sick slaughter of the innocent people in Colorado and the government does not call for stiffer gun controls, it saddens me to realize what a sick and violent world we have.
We do not need guns!

The Styling and Ideology of the
Arts and Crafts in Liverpool
THE Liverpool School of Architecture and Applied Art started its life as an institution with its educational principles rooted in the ideological assumptions of the Arts and Crafts movement. It is necessary to immerse ourselves in the cultural milieu in which the institution emerged, for the relationship between the English Arts and Crafts' and American Beaux Arts' methodology is more closely intertwined than might at first be thought. Central to understanding this relationship is an awareness of the dialogue between architectural form and content, between what is signified through the adoption of a particular style and how this relates to the processes of its manufacture. The assumption is often made that all Arts and Crafts styling is a reflection of the cultural aspirations of William Morris and John Ruskin, and reflects their socially progressive position. However, there is nothing intrinsic in the adoption of a vernacular style which guarantees this. As close examination reveals, the stylistic similarity of buildings within the city does not necessarily mean a similarity of ideological intent by their designers. If we can separate out the difference between style-based architectural signifiers and the circumstances under which a building is conceived and then constructed – its methodology – then the move from Arts and Crafts to Beaux Arts styling at the Liverpool School is much easier to understand.
In interpreting the design base bequeathed by the Arts and Crafts movement in Liverpool's cultural superstructure, two architectural 'institutions' present themselves as paradigms. One is Port Sunlight, 15

This review is from: BYTECC BT-555 5 Ports N-Way Mini Networking Switch
Pros: USB powered switch is a great idea.
Cons: After two returns for replacement, I still haven't received one that will even power on. So that's 3 dead switches in a row. I've decided to just give up because I've almost spent as much money in shipping back dead switches as the switch itself is worth. I'm not going to spend any more money sending back a third dead switch just to probably receive a fourth dead one.

This review is from: BYTECC BT-555 5 Ports N-Way Mini Networking Switch
Pros: As the inhouse IT support, I frequently need to hookup my netbook to the LAN at one location or another (its rather spread out), but all the jacks are taken. Rather than disconnect someone and interrupt their work, I have this and a few short ethernet cables in my bag to split off the connection. Also, I get tired of lugging around too many accessories in my bag. In addition to being the smallest 5-port switch I've ever seen, It powers off USB, so I don't have another wall wart in my bag. Also comes with sticky magnets for attaching to metal surfaces. Shell is metal, not the least bit flimsy.
Cons: Not really a con IMO, but it costs more than other 5-port hubs. However, if you need the portability and durability like I do, its worth it.
Other Thoughts: One thing that would make it cooler would be to include single cable molding including both USB power and ethernet

Cold Blooded Murder of a Kansas Emigrant - Death of his wife -
We learned on Saturday of the murder of Mr. Alfred Wilbur, ?__? of Illinois, and a son of Mr. Jeptha Wilbur, of Avon, Livignston County, who was on his way, with his family, consisted of a wife and three chidlren, to the Territory of Kansas, where he designed settling. The deceased was a cousin of Mr. J. M. Babcock, of Irondequoit, and Mr. H. H. Babcock, of Charlotte, and it is to the first named gentleman that we are indebted for the few particulars which have come to his knowledge. It appears that Mr. Wilbur was traveling upon the cars and was free in communicating the purpose of his journey. He had in his possession two of Sharp's rifles. At a station, the name of which has not be ascertained, he stepped from the cars and the opportunity was seized by some person or persons as yet unknown, to murder him. The fact became known to a few passengers, as one of them, soon after the cars started, informed Mrs. Wilbur of the tragical fate of her husband. She became almost frantic, and besought the conductor to stop, but he refused, and in her excitement she jumped from the train while under fast motion and was almost instantly killed. This sad occurrence is said to have taken place about three weeks since, and the father of the murdered man started two weeks ago to ascertain more fully the circumstances, and look after the children thus suddenly made orphans. - (Roch.

Supposed Murder.
The following note from Mr. Vaughn, telegraphist at Western depot, arrived too late for publication yesterday:

It is supposed she was murdered. She left Pontiac some eighteen days since for home.

A Foul Murder.
The citizens of our town were startled on Thursday evening, November 11th, by the report that a most foul murder had been committed on the body of a young Irish girl named Mary Murphy -- daughter of John Murphy, a work-hand on the St. L. A. & C. Rail Road. The particulars, as far as we can learn them are these: About 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon, October 24th, Miss Mary Murphy left the house of her father near Rock [Sic] Creek Station, to come to Mrs. McGregor's residence of this place, where she had formerly been engaged as a domestic.-- Her father supposing she had reached her destination in safety made himself no concern about her welfare. Her not arriving at Mrs. McGregor's at the time agreed to, induced that lady to think that she concluded to remain awhile longer at her fathers, hence no suspicions were aroused as to her absence by either her parents or her employer.
On the afternoon of the 11th, inst., while Mr. Wm. Cleary and his hand were engaged on the repairs of the Railroad track about three miles South of this place.-- Mr. Cleary, in looking for a block, seen [Sic] what he supposed to be a bundle of clothing lying on the prairie about fifty feet from the track. On approaching it, he discovered that it was the body of Mary Murphy. Immediately after the discovery, he came to town, gave the information to the Coroner who repaired to the spot. The body was then brought to town and an inquest held, the Coroner's jury giving in substance the following verdict:
"That the said Mary Murphy came to her death by blows upon her head by some instrument in the hands of some person or persons unknown to this jury, or that she came to her death by strangulation caused in some manner unknown to this jury, or that she came to her death by either or both of the above causes, either of which this jury believe to have been sufficient cause of her death." There have been many rumors in regard to the cause for the perpetration of this deed, all of which we forbear to mention-- not knowing them to be facts. Suffice it to say that Mary Murphy has been foully dealt with, and afterwards, brutally murdered, and the body dragged out upon prairie and left in a most horrible position, where, remaining undiscovered for the long time of eighteen days; and that this most shocking murder was committed in open day, on a frequently traveled road at a distance of only three miles South of Pontiac, and further, that the villain or villains who perpetrated it are yet at large.

A colored man named Robert Morrison, has been arrested at Whitewater, Wisconsin and is now in the Walworth County Jail at Elkhorn, charged with the rape and murder of a young woman, a domestic named Ann Murphy, who was brutally ravished and murdered last November on the prairie, near the line of the Chicago, Alton & St. Louis R.R., in the town of Pontiac, Livingston county in this State.-- Sheriff Russell of that county, has gone to Elkhorn to take the prisoner into his custody.

Requisition for Abduction.
William S. Cilley was arrested at Sunbury, Livingston county, Illinois, on a requisition from the Governor of Maine, by officer J. T. Lurvey of Bangor, Maine, for abducting a young girl aged 13, named Amelia F. Wetherell, daughter of Joseph F. Wetherell of Bangor, Maine. She was carried off by Cilley on the 13th of October last, and officer Lurvey has been in pursuit ever since. Cilley is a widower, and pretends to have some claim to the girl, from the fact that she lived with him, and her parents are indebted to him. The officer left with the prisoner on Monday night for Maine. [Sangamo Journal / Illinois State Journal, 15 December 1859; Sub. by Pam Haag Geyer]
Cattle Stealing
For something decidedly brassy in the line of cattle stealing, commend us to the case of Mr. Jonathan Helmes, who was arrested in this city on Monday for this offense at the instance of Mr. John Hossack. It appears Mr. Hossack had an interest in a herd of cattle grazing in the town of Esmen, Livingston county, (near Dwight.) A week ago last Monday five head of these cattle were brought to Ottawa by Helmes and sold to Jacob Degan, cattle dealer. Very soon afterwards information reached Mr. Hossack, from Dwight, that a dozen of head had been stolen by Helmes, but on his way to Ottawa he had left 7 at Otter Creek, which had been recovered. Mr. Helmes having safely pocketed his money for the five head, and being now an object of anxious inquiry by the emissaries of the law, one would naturally suppose would have made himself scarce about these days. On the contrary, on Sunday he started from Odell to Ottawa in a cutter, and on the way picked up a young girl, whom he proposed to bring with him, and satisfying the girl that he had lots of money, offered to give her plenty of fine clothes in Ottawa, and do many other nice things for her. So the innocent maiden came with him, but on reaching the Illinois bridge he was recognized, and Mr. Hossack notified of his presence. The latter lost no time in getting out the papers for his arrest, and Mr. Helmes is now safely in limbo. Meantime the young girl consoles herself for the loss of her beau by the fact that she has gained a horse and cutter. [Ottawa Free Trader: Saturday November 27, 1869]
We find in the Pontiac Meteor the details making intelligible the despatch published in the Chicago papers a week ago stating that Mr. John Soter, a former resident of this county and well known in Ottawa, but for the last few years residing in Livingston county, had been placed in limbo at Pontiac on the charge of murder. It seems Soter, a few years ago, married a widow lady named Thompson, residing near Pontiac, upon a fine farm, of which she had come in possession by the death of her former husband. It turned out subsequently, however, that the said "former husband" had another wife living in England, who, on hearing of his (Thompson's) death, came to this country and claimed his property, a claim which she succeeded in making good in the courts, and the other widow, with her new husband, Soter, was dispossessed of the property. The new owner placed a Mr. Rollins upon the property, and this Mr. Rollins Soter is accused of having deliberately shot dead while playing a violin at a little party at Soter's own house. The facts as stated in the Meteor look bad for John. [The Ottawa Free Trader, Volume 32, Number 37, 20 April 1872; Sub. by Pam Haag Geyer]
John Soter, formerly a resident of the town of Deer Park, in this county, but for the last few years a resident of Livingston County, has just been tried for murder at Pontiac, found guilty, and sentenced to be hung. We gave the circumstances of the murder a month or two ago. We had known John well for many years, and in his sober senses always found him well behaved, kind and open hearted. But he had contracted the morbid appetite for strong drink and when under its influence, like so many other good men, was a demon. The evidence showed that when he committed the horrible crime which he will probably expiate on the gallows, he was under the influence of "fire water." [The Ottawa Free Trader, Volume 32, Number 44, 8 June 1872; Sub. by Pam Haag Geyer]
Gov. Palmer has committed the sentence of John Soter to imprisonment for life. The jury, on his recent trial for murder in Livingston county, had sentenced him to be hung. [The Ottawa Free Trader 6 July 1872; Sub. by Pam Haag Geyer]
In 1851, William Rollings arrived from Ohio and settled on what has since been known as the Benham farm. He was a peaceable and quiet citizen, but came to a tragical end, being murdered in cold blood April 1, 1872. The facts in the case seem to be about these : A man named John Soter claimed the land occupied by Rollings, and, although he was but a renter, he had made frequent threats on Rollings' life. On the evening of the 1st of April, in the year mentioned, Soter, who lived on a neighboring farm, invited a party of young folks to his house to spend the evening. Among the rest was Rollings' son, who was engaged to play the violin. Late in the evening, Rollings himself came to the house and relieved his son for a while in the furnishing of the music. Though Rollings had heard rumors of Soter's antipathy toward him, but, conscious of his having had nothing to do with dispossessing Soter, and having been on friendly terms with him, did not apprehend any danger, or even that he was unwelcome at his neighbor's house. However, while engaged as stated, the party were alarmed by the report of a gun, fired near the window, and William Rollings, at the same moment, fell to the floor in a dying condition. He had received a charge of shot in his breast, from the effects of which he died a few hours later. Soter was arrested and sent to jail until the next term of the Circuit Court, which convened in May. He was tried and convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hanged ; but the sentence was subsequently commuted to imprisonment in the penitentiary for life. Soter, at the time of the act, was already 60 years of age, and his penalty proved to be but a short term, as he died two or three years after his incarceration.

A horrible murder was committed in Nebraska township, Livingston county, last Saturday night. A dance had been appointed at the house of Pat and Tom Barrett, for which a fiddler named Marlott had agreed to play but went to play at another house. About 12 o'clock at night, when all parties were pretty full of liquor, the Barretts went to the other house, a quarrel ensued, in the course of which fiddler Marlott and his brother were clubbed to death, and half a dozen are now in jail candidates for the gallows.

Most of our older citizens remember the case of Mary Murphy, who was murdered near Pontiac, in Livingston county, in 1861. The girl lived at Rook's Creek, some five miles south of Pontiac, but was employed in the latter town as a servant. One Saturday she had gone home to spend Sunday, and was not seen for 18 days afterwards, when her body was found near the railroad track, so concealed and with such marks upon it as to show that she had been foully dealt with. A negro named Morris who had been seen on the railroad track the day of the murder and in the vicinity where the body was found, was pursued and arrested for the crime. The only evidence against him was, his having been seen at the place at such an unfortunate time, and that he had some blood on his clothes. The negro of course vehemently protested his innocence. At the trial, he explained the blood on his clothes by showing that be had had a fight in Bloomington the day before the murder, and was really hurrying towards Chicago to escape the vengeance of his Bloomington enemies. However, the popular mind was intensely excited at the time, and the current ran so strong against the poor negro that the jury pronounced him guilty, he was sentenced to be hung and in due time the sentence was carried into execution. Now comes the sequel. There was known about Pontiac a hard character named Hildebrand. He had joined a band of horse thieves and cut-throats headed by a notorious character named "Hawkeye Bill.'' Hildebrand is now in the Jeffersonville, Ind., penitentiary, and has just written a confession, which is published in the Louisville Courier-Journal. In that confession he states that Hawkeye Bill died in 1866 in an underground stable near Dubuque. A few hours before he died be made a confession of his various crimes. Among other things Hawkeye Bill said that while he, Bill Britt, Joe Montana alias "French Joe," a half-breed Indian named Sioux, and Charles Logue alias "Big Curtis" were running some stolen horses through from Iowa to Michigan, they captured a young woman on the railroad track near Pontiac, took her into the woods and kept her two days and then murdered her. That young woman's name was Mary Murphy, and for this crime a negro named Morris was hung at Kankakee, Ills. Bill Britt, French Joe and Sioux were hung in the west, and Big Curtis died in the Allegheny, Pa., prison. This is the substance of Hildebrand's confession, and of its truthfulness their exists no doubt in the minds of those most familiar with all the details of the horrid and unfortunate affair. Morris was an innocent man. [The Ottawa Free Trader, Volume 37, Number 48, 30 June 1877 Page 4]

The Wabash depot at Pontiac was badly burglarized last Friday night. The ticket cases were broken open, the tickets scattered out on the floor and about 400 of them taken. A lot of boxes of goods in the baggage room were broken open and the contents scattered around but how much had been taken could not be ascertained until the owners would come. A horse and buggy was also stolen, presumably by the same persons for the purpose of getting away. Three or four boys escaped from the reform school that night and it is suspicioned that they committed the thefts. [The Ottawa Free Trader, 1 December 1883; Sub. by Pam Haag Geyer]

Chatsworth, Ill., Aug. 18. -- The following is the verdict as agreed upon by the coroner's jury in the Chatsworth disaster: State of Illinois, Livingston County. In the matter of the inquest on the body of Mrs. Dr. Duckett, of Forest, Ill., deceased, held at Chatsworth, on the 11th day of August, A. D. 1887. We, the undersigned jurors, sworn to inquire into the cause of the death of Mrs. Dr. Duckette, late of Forest, Ill., on oath, do find that she came to her death by injuries received in the wrecking of the NIagara Falls excursion train on the Toledo, Peoria & Western railway, on which she was a passenger. We find that the wrecking of the said train which totally demolished eight coaches, one baggage car and one engine and either killed or wounded most of the occupants of said coaches, was caused by said bridge having been burned out before the thrain struck it. We think from the evidence that the bridge was fired from fires left buring which had been set as late as 5 o'clock that afternoon by the section men as close as sixteen feet on both the east and est sides of the bridge. We further find that the foreman of Section 7, Timothy Coughlin, disobeyed positive orders from his superior to examine the track and bridges on his section the last thing on Wednesday, and we find that he did not go over the west two and one-half miles at all on Wednesday, and that the said foreman Coughlin was guilty of gross and criminal carelessness in leaving fires buring along the track in such a dry season and with such a strong wind blowing. We recommend that he be held for examination by the grand jury; and further, it is the opinion of the jury that the leaving of the track with being patrolled for six hours before the passage of the excursion and the setting of the fires by the section men on such a dry and windy day as the 10th of August, 1887, were acts which deserve severe criticism. (Signed.) W. W. Sears, Foreman, P. L. Cook, David E. Shaw, H. P. Turner, J. R. Brigham, Frank Osborne. The within was agreed upon and signed in my presence and approved by me this 18th day of August, 1887. (Signed.) Charles H. Long, Coroner of Livingston County.

A dispatch from Forrest, ILL., speaks of little Robbie Ferguson, the boy who created considerable interest in Chicago, by claiming outrageous treatment at the hands of Rev. T.B. Arnold, who was once a resident of Sycamore. The dispatch says: Last Tuesday he stole a span of mules and a wagon in that place, and drove to the edge of town but was caught before he could go further. He declared with tears in his eyes that he had been induced to steal by other boys, and was allowed to go. Yesterday he stole a valuable letter from the post office in Fairbury, and was locked up in the calaboose there. He obtained a nail however, and last night managed to pick the lock of the door and escaped. He walked to Forrest, and this morning stole a watch and chain valued at $30 from the vest of a carpenter named Henry Parker, while the latter was at work. He was arrested but not searched, and protested his innocence so strongly that he was given his liberty. He attempted to leave here on foot, but by the time he had reached the edge of the village some person who knew him had informed the officials of his identity. Two men on bicycles and a man on horseback started rapidly after him, searched him, and found the watch and chain in his pockets. He was locked up here, and was taken to Pontiac this afternoon. He will be sent to the reform school there. [True Republican 24 August 1887; Sub by Pam Haag Geyer]

Springfield, Ill., June 4. -- The Governor to-day granted pardons in the following cases: James McAllister, who was convicted at the October term, 1887, of the Livingston County Circuit Court, and sentenced to the penitentiary for twenty-five years. This pardon was quite generally recommended, the presiding Judge expressing a doubt as to McAllister's guilt.
Lawrence R. Lucas, who was convicted at the May term 1891, of the County Court of McLean County of burglary and sentenced to the Reform School for three years. Lucas, who at the time of his conviction was only 15 years of age, in company with another boy, broke into the Grand Opera House in Bloomington and stole various articles worth about $50. The Governor finds that since his confinement the boy's conduct has been so exempellary as to warrant his pardon. [Date: 1892-06-05; Paper: St. Louis Republic - Sub by Teri Colglazier]

Hulbert declared that a colored boy named Williams had been so severely beaten by a guard named Quinn and by A.D. Burrell, another guard, that he died in the hospital three days later. The weapons used, according to Hulbert, were a blackjack in the hands of Quinn and a stool in the hands of Burrell, and the attack, he asserted, followed a fight between the boy Williams and a white boy named Sherry.

Pontiac, Ill., Nov. 13.- Dr. Jas. A. Marshall, deposed physician of the Illinois state reformatory here, interrupted his trial before the state civil service commission by springing to his feet and denouncing the charges of cruelty made against him as "faked." Marshall grew angry when Edward Scoval, former inmate of the institution, who is now an officer, refused to answer questions about his former life. "I am asking for fair treatment at the hands of this commission," said Marshall, "and I do not think it right for ex-convicts to withhold their names and characters from this board. If I am not going to get fair treatment I will quit this trial right now." Chaplain E. W. Annable corroborated the testimony of George Wolf, an inmate who swore he was knocked down with a blackjack by Guard Robb in the presence of Marshall, but declared he never heard Marshall use obscene or profane language. The chaplain said that several boys had complained to him of receiving brutal treatment at the hands of Dr. Marshall, and had offered bruised faces and swollen hands as evidence, but that he had no direct knowledge of such cruelty.

Springfield, Ill., Oct. 27. That boys were beaten with hammers and "squeegees" clubs and leather straps; that they were placed in solitary confinement for the smallest infraction of rules and given bread and water; that sometimes their thirst drove them to drink the water that was used to flush the lavatory, is the report of the committee appointed by Gov. Dunne to investigate alleged cruelties practiced at the Pontiac reformatory. This report, which has been given the governor, states that 600 of the boy inmates of the institution were placed in the "screen," which is an isolated cell, 1,732 times, that 3,233 complaints were made against the boys and every one of these complaints sustained by the prison management. During two months not a boy was found innocent of any charge preferred against him by guards, teachers or employees, and not a boy escaped punishment under the charges. Cripples were cruelly beaten by men twice their size; a devilish ingenuity in making tortures unique was resorted to. A boyish prank inspired by the exuberancy of youth was regarded as a criminal offense. In the chair shop, which was presided over by a man named Burrell, boys were kicked; others were felled by blows from Burrell's fist. Each boy was compelled to make five chairs a day and if he did not succeed Burrell administered the punishment his mood dictated regardless of its unnecessary brutality. One little fellow, who was physically unable to cope with the other boys, Burrell smashed over the head with a hammer. Dr. Marshall, who was institution physician, seemed to be convinced that every boy committed to the reformatory had been guilty of depraved practices, according to the report and asked each boy if this was true. If the boy replied in the negative, the doctor used his fists or a squeegee and beat the boy. The report, in speaking of Judge R. A. Russell, who was appointed by Governor Deneen as superintendent of the institution, and who fled the state during the inquiry and is now in Idaho, says: "There cannot be a shadow of a doubt that the routine of the institution as maintained under the management of Judge Russell was conducive to the breaking down of all moral restraint. Deprived of recreation in any form, forced to labor or attend school eight or nine hours daily, their meal hours so circumscribed that they would not eat properly, thereby suffering from the accumulative effect of toxic poisoning, locked in cells when not employed; every boyish desire, every boyish ideal, was ruthlessly shattered." When the report was called to the attention of ex-Governor Deneen, he refused to make comment. The Board of Managers appointed by Deneen, presumably responsible to Deneen and to the people for the acts of Supt. Russell and his staff, are: Rt. Rev. Samuel Fallows, Charles A. Purdunn, Frank R. Robinson, Chas. H. May and Arthur W. Charles. [The Day Book, 27 October 1913]

Dr. James A. Marshall, for 12 years physician at Pontiac Reformatory, will be tried today by State Civil Service Commission on charge of cruelty to prisoners. [The Day Book, 10 November 1913]
Pontiac, Ill., Nov. 14. The prosecution rested this noon in the trial of Dr. James A. Marshall, deposed physician of the Illinois state reformatory, for alleged cruelty to inmates, and the civil service commission announced that an adjournment would be taken until next Tuesday at 2 p.m., when the defense will offer witnesses, among them several former reformatory officials associated with the accused physician. Lawrence Nathan, 21, an inmate from Chicago, was the only witness today. Nathan swore that when he entered the institution he was suffering from stomach trouble contracted in a Chicago jail. He complained to Dr. Marshall, he said, and the latter accused him of lying. When he insisted upon treatment, he said Dr. Marshall struck him in the stomach, causing him to double up with pain, and then struck him three times in the face, at the same time cursing him. On cross-examination, Nathan admitted that he had talked to Florence E. Sullivan, Gov. Dunne's investigator, two months before the reformatory investigation was started, and that he told Sullivan he would be glad to testify "to get even with Marshall." [The Day Book, 14 November 1913; Sub. by Pam Haag Geyer]
The lesson handed Dr. Marshall, late of Pontiac Reformatory, by the state civil service commission should be a warning to the remaining officials who take advantage of helpless prisoners.
A rebuke to the shoddy administration guided by Former Governor Deneen is given by the decision of the state civil service commission in dismissing Dr. James A. Marshall, former physician at Pontiac. Three charges out of ten against Marshall were sustained. In the language of the commissioners they are "You are charged with beating and abusing boys on their entrance to the reformatory. You are charged with knowingly permitting guards and teachers in this reformatory to beat and abuse boys without reporting the same to this board. You are charged with using profane, obscene and indecent language to boy inmates without cause or reason." A fourth charge was also sustained, but which the commission found some excuse for was: "You are charged with insisting on boy inmates admitting they have been guilty of gross immoralities and nameless crimes and with having beaten and abused them when they denied such charges." The dismissal of Marshall should mean the gradual abolition of cruelty on the part of those in charge of prisons throughout the entire state. [The Day Book, 19 December 1913; Sub. by Pam Haag Geyer]

Girl Slain by Phantoms - Experts say horror was the murderer of Christine Diemer - Her fear of a suit that was the emblem of her spells of immunity may have driven a rich girl to her death. -- When the body of Christine Diemer, daughter of the richest land owner in Livingston County, Illinois was found in the Vermillion River November 8, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Diemer, and her sister, Magdalene, were arrested on suspicion and the county authorities said the dead young woman was a murder victim. Other theories as to the identity of her murderer were also advanced. One of these was that she ahd been slain by a tramp, another that she had been kidnapped by river men, held several days and then killed to prevent disclosures as to her mistreatment. But now expert investigators, including a University of Chicago patholist, have virtually agreed that Christine Diemer was murdered by no human hands. Her murderer was horror. The phantoms that sometimes plagued her poor, diseased brain drove her to death. The story that the expert investigators have woven out of this farm town mystery is a strange one and its dark morbidity rivals the pages of Poe. Christine Diemer was affliced with spells of insanity and last summer she was sent to a sanitarium at Peoria, much against her wishes. When she was taken to the sanitarium she wore a blue serge suit and black hat. The family was thrifty, despite its wealth and Christine did not have many suits. The blue serge was worn by her during most of her stay at the sanitarium, a place where she formed a great fear and an equally great hatred. She was released after a brief treatment at the sanitarium and returned to her home at Pontiac. The blue serge suit was laid aside for a gladder raiment, bought in honor of her homecoming. But a few days before her disappearance October 27 her mother and sister, inspired by their characteric Danish economy, sent the blue serge suit to a cleaning establishment and on its return gave it to Christine to wear again. The poor girl shrank from the suit, trembling and fear filled. The sight of it summoned into her mad brain all the phantoms that had tortured her during her days at the sanitarium. "Burn it, oh, please burn it." she pleaded. "If you don't I'll take it out into the woods and destroy it." But her mother and sister were insistent that the suit, having been cleaned, was deserving of more wear. When Christine Diemer disappeared the suit disappeared with her. It has not been found. That she, hastening to destroy this ?__? that her distracted mind told her was perpetually unclean, became lost, wandered about several days and then fell into the river, is the conclusion of the expert investigators. Their case against Horror seems complete, they declare. But the relatives are still held under suspicion because there are two or three details that the authorities say are unexplained. One of these is the fact that Magdalene Diemer, the sister, is the beneficiary of Christine's will and that a pair of Magdalene's shoes, mud caked as would be the shoes of a person who had walked along a river bank, were found in the basement of the Diemer home. Magdalene Diemer said the mud had collected on the shoes when she was working in the basement, but the floor of the basement is of cement and is dry. Another unexplained thing is that, though Christine Diemer disappeared October 27, nothing was said by her relatives for several days afterward. They say this was due to their belief that she had gone on an unannounced trip to Florida, a trip that she had made once before and planned to make again some time. There is yet one more feature that is not quite clear -- Christine Diemer was missing nine days, she had been in the river only three days, according to the finding at the autopsy held over her body. The authorities, however, admit there is little tangible evidence, despite these unexplained points, against any of the possible murderers save one -- and that is Horror.

Pontiac, Ill., -Nov. 16. Every theory advanced to account for the murder of Miss Christine Diemer, 33-year-old daughter of Jacob Diemer, whose body was dragged from the Vermilion river here Nov. 8, halted today over the question of motive. Coroner Myers bent all his efforts to finding a motive for the deed. The father of the girl, her mother and a sister, Magdalene, are bound over to the grand jury on charge of manslaughter, but no reason why the girl's parents should have killed her is advanced. Reports that a heavy club with wisps of hair stuck to it was found, behind a barn near the spot where the body was dragged from the river were officially denied. Adding to the mystery is the theory of suicide, supported by Dr. George Mitchel, alienist, of Peoria, who treated the girl last summer. He said he had expected her to commit suicide at any time. Here again the fact of the girl's broken neck and fractured skull make the suicide theory doubtful. [The Day Book, 16 November 1916; Sub. by Pam Haag Geyer]
Pontiac, Ill.,- Nov. 20. Jacob Diemer, his wife and daughter, Magdalene, ordered held to the grand jury on charges of manslaughter, following the death of their daughter, Christine, stand today vindicated in the eyes of their neighbors. Dr. Ludvig Hektoen, pathologist and criminal expert of the University of Chicago, declared after examination that Miss Diemer was drowned, and the theory of suicide strongly upheld by his opinion will cause the manslaughter charge to be dropped it was thought here today. Dr. Hektoen's findings flatly contradicted those of local physicians who conducted the first autopsy. Dr. Hektoen said there was no fractured skull, that there was water, in the girl's lungs and stomach, and that her neck was not broken. Physicians here say they were not permitted to make a thorough examination. [The Day Book,, 20 November 1916; Sub. by Pam Haag Geyer]
Meet Death By Law For Killing Guard of Pontiac Reformatory of Which He Was An Inmate.
Myron Corbridge, aged 22, was hanged Friday morning last in a dingy auctioneer's tent in the jail yard at Pontiac for the murder of "Sol" Jones, a guard over him at the Illinois State Reformatory there, which occurred six months ago. This "child of the jails" who has spent half the years of his life in penal institutions stepped out without faltering as he accompanied the priest. On scaffold, borrowed from Cook County, Corbridge read a poem and died denying his guilt. It was the first hanging in Livingston County in 40 years. Corbridge was convicted of mauling the life out of John Sullivan Jones, an Illinois state reformatory guard with three feet of gas pipe. To the last he denied his guilt. Mrs. Laura Elizabeth Corbidge, mother of the condemned man, made a vain appeal to the pardon board for mercy for her son, declaring that he was subject to fits of insanity. She asked a commutation of the death sentence to life imprisonment, but strong opposition from local organizations fought the attempt to save Corbridge from the gallows. Corbridge served time at the Chester penitentiary and the St. Charles School for Boys. [True Republican, 20 December 1922; ; Sub. by Pam Haag Geyer]

ANCONA, Mar. 13. -- In a house with every door and window locked and a mantle of unmarked snow outside, Charles Ramme, 55, wealthy farmer, was found dead in bed with a fractured spinal column, punctured liver and crushed chest. Tonight, Livingston county authorities postponed indefinitely an inquest in order to investigate the case, which they view as a murder. They held he could not have inflicted the injuries on himself. And under no condition could have crawled into bed without help. But in pursuing a theory of murder, they said they found all windows unopened and most of them covered with dust, while the snow which fell over the week-end, bore the tracks only of those who discovered the body in the lonely farmhouse. Along with the investigation, authorities learned that Ramme, had secretly been wed to a woman known as Anna Arnolds. She produced a marriage certificate from the room where he was found. She, and Ramme's brother Otto, found the body Wednesday night. [Daily Illini, 14 March 1931]

PONTIAC, Mar. 2.--- Investigation into the mysterious death of Miss Aldine Younger, prominent 23-year-old society girl, was virtually at a standstill today. Livingston county authorities, although still holding Asher Earl Bentley, 35, were checking the story he told of a roadhouse party with the girl shortly before her death. Coroner John A. Keeley postponed an inquest pending report on an autopsy. Miss Younger's body was found on a roadside five miles west of here early yesterday. Bentley, taken into custody after Sheriff John Heckman learned he had been with the girl, said he fell asleep after he had parked his car on the way home from the roadhouse and that when he awoke, Miss Younger was gone. Chicago chemists today were examining organs taken from the dead girl's body and samples of bloodstains found on one fender of Bentley s car. Dr. William D.

As the arguments continued, court attaches said it was possible the case would not reach the jury until late tomorrow. [Daily Illini, 29 November 1933; Sub. by Pam Haag Geyer]
Pontiac, Nov. 29 -- In four hours today a circuit court jury returned a verdict convicting Asher Earle Bentley of manslaughter in the death March 1 of Miss Aldine Younger. Miss Younger's body was found on a state highway and the state contended in the trial that she was run over by Bentley's auto after the two had participated in a roadhouse drinking party. He was accused of murder. The Illinois penalty for manslaughter is from one to fourteen years imprisonment. Attorneys for Bentley indicated they would appeal. Bentley is the son of a former mayor of Pontiac. His wife attended all sessions. [Daily Illini, 30 November 1933; Sub by Pam Haag Geyer]
Highway Chief, Wife Charged With Fraud
PONTIAC-- Glen D. Butzer, Livingston county superintendent of highways, his wife Ada, and three others stood charged today with collusion in connection with the letting of a $39,900 contract for 25 miles of gravel surfacing, following filing of such charges in the county circuit court here yesterday. The charges were filed by a group of Waldo township taxpayers who alleged that the five were in collusion in that the contract was awarded without being advertised, that inferior material was used, as a result of which "the road has gone to pieces" and that the price paid for the work was excessive.[Urbana Daily Courier, 29 March 1935; Sub. by Pam Haag Geyer]
Thief Returned Too Often
As is usually the case, the thief who had been making a practice of stealing poultry, gasoline, motor oil and other items from our Service Bureau member, Mrs. Amelia Harter, came back to the source of supply just once too many times. Mrs. Harter is a woman dairy farm operator living northeast of Cullom, Livingston county, Illinois. She lives alone with her ten-year-old daughter, but had occasionally hired Charles Melvin, a young man residing in the neighborhood, to help her with the farm work. On several occasions, Mrs. Harter had missed small lots of chickens. At one time, a $75 diamond ring disappeared from her home. The thefts occurred each time in the daytime, and she began to notice that each time something disappeared she would find tire tread marks of a certain design in her yard. One day she was home alone, working just back of her house, when she heard a car drive in. The driver of the car apparently did not realize she was at home, for he went right into the house. Mrs. Harter did not make her presence known. She soon heard the front door slam as the prowler departed. She then called a neighbor, who came over. The neighbor hadn't much more than arrived when Mrs. Harter heard what she believed to be the same car returning. In the meantime, her little daughter had also returned home. The three of them secreted themselves in the barn, tool shed and henhouse, where they could observe the movements of the returning prowler. He entered the house, but quickly left again on the run. They all got a good look at him and identified him as Charles Melvin, the part-time hired man.
Took Cash From Dresser
Mrs. Harter found the contents of her pocketbook had been taken, as well as a small sum of money which she had placed on a dresser that morning. A report of the matter was made to the sheriff of Livingston county, and Melvin was arrested. He entered a plea of guilty when brought before Judge W.G. Peacock in the county court at Pontiac, Ill., where he received his sentence. [Wallace's Farmer, 9 September 1939]
Santa Visits Pontiac ---- So Do Pickpockets
PONTIAC, Ill., Dec . 6 - The next time Santa Claus visits Pontiac he's liable to find all men welcomers holding tight to their billfolds. Not that they distrust old Santa, but they want no repetition of today's experience when pickpockets took about $500 from 3,000 persons gathered to welcome Saint Nick to the city.[Daily Illini, 7 December 1939; Sub. by Pam Haag Geyer]
Former Pontiac Cashier Indicted for Embezzling
PONTIAC. May 6. -- Howard Raboin, 38 year old former cashier of the Farmers State bank at Cullom, Ill.; was indicted today by a Livingston county grand jury on a charge of embezzling $9,616.29 of the bank's funds. Raboin is free under bond on a federal charge of embezzlement of the bank's funds. No date was set for a hearing on the charge brought today, but Judge Ray Sesler set bond at $5,000. A hearing on the the federal charge is expected to be given at Peoria May 10. The same grand jury also indicted C.C. Ridinger, Saunemin, on a charge of allegedly leaving the scene of an accident last Feb. 25 in which George E. Messinger, Decatur was fatally injured. Ridinger's bond was set at $500. [Daily Illini, 7 May 1943]
Restaurant Patrons Killed by Gunman
PONTIAC, ILL., July 7 -- Police said two restaurant patrons were shot and killed today by a man who then forced his ex-wife, a waitress, into an automobile and fled. The shooting occurred in a Pontiac restaurant late this afternoon. Livingston county sheriff officers said the gunman was Richard Cox, 27, a former Pontiac resident. Roadblocks were set up by state police and police officials from surrounding countries in an attempt to halt Cox. [Daily Illini, 8 July 1952; Sub. by Pam Haag Geyer]
Tear Gas Quells Prison Rioters
PONTIAC, Ill. ---Waves of tear gas quickly quelled a riot of 450 prisoners Wednesday night in the Pontiac Penitentiary, some 80 miles southwest of Chicago. Warden David Bergan said one prisoner was killed during the disturbance. Bergan said the unidentified prisoner had apparently been struck by an iron bar by another convict. Bergan said the riot started at 6:15 p.m. in the west cell house confining 600 prisoners as the men were being returned to their cells from the mess hall. The men started rioting as they filed into the cell black, Bergan said. The last 150 refused to enter the block, Bergan said, and they were taken to another block, and locked up. We notified the rioting prisoners to file out quickly or they would be gassed, Bergan said. We waited a few minutes, and then lobbed in some tear gas shells. Warden Bergan said the prisoners slowly began filing out after the tear gas began taking effect. A few guards later entered the block and escorted the remainder of the prisoners out. Bergan said he believed last night's riot was touched off by a disturbance last night involving three prisoners who were being taken to solitary confinement for defacing prison property. All state police within a 150 mile radius of Pontiac were summoned to the prison in an emergency move. Pontiac penitentiary is the second largest prison in Illinois. Some 1,500 prisoners are confined there. [Daily Illini, 24 June 1954; Sub. by Pam Haag Geyer]

Venue shift ordered in battle over estate
PAULS VALLEY — A judge in Garvin County ruled Monday that a Murray County court should determine who controls the estate of a pregnant woman who died in police custody.
Jamie Lynn Russell died Jan. 2 after being arrested at a hospital.
She was living in Murray County at the time.
Bruce W. Russell, her estranged husband, is seeking to be named an heir, along with her 10-year-old son.
He had little contact with her, was in jail at the time of her death and signed court documents saying he is engaged to another woman.
If successful, Bruce Russell, who is not the boy's father, would have control over any medical malpractice lawsuit resulting from Jamie Lynn Russell's death, including making decisions on who to sue, whether to settle and for how much.
That possibility angered friends and family of Jamie Russell.
In testimony Monday, Bruce Russell could not correctly recall the year the couple married (2010) how long they lived together or the last time he saw Jamie Russell.
Jamie Russell's sister, Stefanie Fisher, is seeking court approval to represent her sister's estate on behalf of the son and has hired a lawyer to pursue a malpractice claim.
A court hearing is scheduled for May 10 in Murray County.

2003 Nissan Maxima GLE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
I really like this car. It has plenty of power, a roomy, comfortable interior, handles reasonably well, and does well in the snow. I bought this car used in 2006 with ~60k miles. It now has 95k. In that time, besides routine maintenance, I've only had to replace the interior fan assembly which started making an annoying noise shortly after I bought it. It cost approximately $400 to replace. My friend has an Xterra which had a similar problem. The previous owner had taken out the stereo system so I got whatever the dealer put in. I'm not an audiophile, but would say it's got an adequate sound system. My wife's 2006 Toyota 4- runner has a better sounding system.
The big engine pulls when I need it and does great over mountain passes without having to work too hard. Comfortable heated leather seats AND steering wheel are a nice touch. Fold down rear seats are convenient. Trunk will hold a lot.
TURNING RADIUS IS TERRIBLE!!! This is the only thing keeping me from considering another one. I've always owned smaller cars (Civic, Mustang)so that could be part of it, but my wife's 4-runner has a smaller turning radius than the Maxima. U-turns require three lanes.
2003 Nissan Maxima GLE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
I've had this car for almost 5 years and have driven it to my hearts content. The car has 115k miles, still smooth, strong and a pleasure to drive. The stereo is temperamental and skips once in a while. But when in good mood, the Bose makes you feel like you're in a concert hall. Terrific power and smooth transmission. Good marriage between the engine and the transmission. No problem in the snow. Had problem with brakes, stereo and exhaust systems. Engine light comes out often (gas cap issue). Handling not comparable to German counter parts but good enough to throw around in the corners and have some fun. Suspension is soft, but serene in good road surface. Bumpy on bad surface.
Bose stereo, engine and transmission, steering wheel warmer, fun factor, smooth ride in good roads, stress free driving, moonroof, acceleration.
Brakes, exhaust, interior noise level, suspension (too bumpy on rough roads), handling, tire grip, torque steer, body integrity, seat comfort (not enough support), hard to see dash board clock during the day, acclaimed micro filter system.
2003 Nissan Maxima GLE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
I really enjoy driving this car, my only complaint is the amount of road noise that can be heard in the car.
I love the power of the vehicle.
Road noise should be eliminated.
2003 Nissan Maxima GLE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
I purchased my Maxima in 2002 as it was the last year before they changed the style. It has been very easy to drive and I have really enjoyed it. Plus it is several thousand dollars less than its cousin the Infiniti!!
2003 Nissan Maxima GLE 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
I loved the car when I first had it, but 3 years later, the bloom is off. Still great, but not the same thrill. It's been fast, fun, reliable, but doesn't wear well both interior or exterior, and I am a fanatic about care. Paint quality is an issue; Sheer Silver looks great, but paint is poor, esp on front bumper and hood. The turning radius is HORRIBLE; 40.5 feet puts it in SUV territory. Car felt porky and didn't excite me even with all it's bells and whistles. I tire of cars easily, but thought I'd have it forever. Traded for an 05 Altima SL. Not that the Max is a bad car; far from it, it just doesn't grow on you. It felt clunky after 37,000 miles; I got bored.
Heated steering wheel and seats, power from smooth V6, mileage 30+ if you trust computer. Climate control perfect, HID headlights a joy. One touch open and close windows and roof, Bose 6 disc CD. People always commenting on car and how it looked. Wonderful highway cruiser with great range.
Fix turning radius. In the 3 years I had it, think I made a parking space in one swoop once. It's hard to tell where front of car ends. More solid trunk; sounds tinny when closing. Make trunk open rather than just unlock. Better paint, more ding/chip resistant bumpers. Lose beam rear axle.
