[Indictment of Robert L. Pitte]

DennĂ­ Hlasatel, May 8, 1917

Robert L. Pitte, whose middle name should read "Looter," was once a notary public, and became notorious by his thievish manipulations with the hardearned money of hundreds of Chicago Czechs. He has been indicted by the Grand Jury finally. He has confessed part of his crimes. It is to be hoped that he will soon be "making small ones out of big ones," in spite of alleged political influence brought into play to let him escape.
