RECALLS SWIATOWY CASE Man Who Died From Use of Drug Was Named With Lawyers in Alleged Effort to Take Myers to Michigan. Two South Bend attorneys were found not guilty of charges of as sault and battery in the Mishawaka city court this morning in a unique case.

The state moved that the case dismissed when it was called in court because the complainant in the charge could not be found. The attorneys fought down the dismissal the case that the court records might show a verdict of not guflty. Several months ago George Myers, 2524 Lincoln Way West. Mishawaka. was arrested in Adrian, a charge of transporting liquor.

August Swlatowy, of Mishawaka, i friend and boarder of Myers, furnished ball for the accused man. Myers Is then alleged to have failed appear for trial and the bond was forfeited. Shortly after the trial date Swlatowy filed charges of poisoning with intent to kill against Mrs. Myers. He alleged the woman desired to take his life that her husband might escape payment of the money.

A grand Jury failed to return an indictment against Mrs. Myers and the case was dismissed. Two weeks after the charge against Mrs. Myers was dismissed it is said Swiatowy was taken to a hospital a second time believed to have been poisoned. About this time Myers returned to Mishawaka and was arrested twice, once on a fugitive charge and once for burglary, but both times was dismissed.

The day following the last arrest he charged Swlatowy and the two attorneys, Samuel Schulman and Lewis Murphy, with assault and battery in an attempt to take 'him to Michigan and give him to authorities of that state. Swiatowy and the attorneys then had Myers arrested on a fugitive warrant but the man furnished bond and disappered a second time. Last week Swiatowy died in Epworth hospital from excessive use of a poisonous drug. To-day only the two accused attorneys appeared in court; their client was dead and their ac cuser is a fugitive.
