Courtroom strains as young witness testifies in seduction case
The People v A Angst Wotheltz trial featured 13 year old Minuia Wisehart arriving unaccompanied by a female guardian. Witnesses from Albion filled the defense group while the girl faced a crowd of about fifty men, undermining her confidence and casting doubt on her testimony. Prosecutor Clark pressed for a chamber, and the court sent the case to the circuit with a plan to ensure proper support for the minor. The Chronicle and Statesman sparred over pensions and local politics, while an Evening program for Trinity church drew praise for Miss Bosley and the Three Singers.

The Circuit Court met Monday at 2 PM with Judge Maith presiding. James Farrant was found not guilty of violating the Heanor law for selling liquor to a minor, while Wobholt won a judgment in a seduction case and Louis Jacobs was awarded $150 after a dispute with Leopold Orbach.

Sixteen divorces were listed, plus notes on local races, church appointments, and a string of real estate and business notices from Battle Creek district reporters.
