Elgin officer accused of planting evidence
May 10 at 3:04 p.m.

Michael Sullivan (Submitted photo)
By Clifford Ward, Special to the Tribune
A former Elgin police officer has been charged with planting evidence at a crime scene in a bid to better his career, Elgin Police Chief Jeff Swoboda and Kane County State’s Atty. Joe McMahon announced today.
Michael Sullivan, 53, a 10-year veteran, was expected to turn himself in Wednesday and appear in bond court. On Tuesday, a Kane county grand jury indicted the Sycamore resident on three counts of official misconduct and two counts of obstruction of justice, McMahon said.
Sullivan resigned from the department May 3, two days after Sullivan came to his supervisor and admitted planting the evidence at the scene of a robbery, Swoboda said.
Both McMahon and the chief said they could not discuss what evidence Sullivan allegedly planted. But authorities said they don’t believe Sullivan had any personal connection to the robbery, which took place April 26. They believe the officer acted to forward his career.
One count on the indictment alleges Sullivan planted false evidence “with the intent to obtain a personal advantage for himself, that being an assignment to a division other than patrol in the Elgin Police Department.”
Swoboda said Sullivan has spent most of his police career as a patrol officer, and had taken the sergeant’s exam two years ago.
“These allegations are taken seriously because, if true, they threaten the foundation of the criminal justice system,” McMahon said.
Staff reporter Melissa Jenco contributed.—

Michael Sullivan, a former resident officer of Elgin, a former U-46 Liaison officer in the Elgin School System, a former Detective with the Elgin Police Department, and a former neighbor who I knew personally has more in his closet then what has been printed in the newspaper. Hopefully others will come forward and tell their stories too. He is not the model citizen and husband that he says he is. More to come. Jeff Goodlove

This Day…
May 19, 1588: The Spanish Armada set sail from Lisbon. The Armada was the most massive fleet of its day including 130 ships and 30,000 soldiers and sailors. The Armada was designed to take control of the English Channel and facilitate the invasion of England from the Netherlands. The English were at a great a disadvantage in terms of ships and manpower. The all important question was when would the Armada begin its trip north? Until the English knew this they would not when or where to make their first move. Dr. Hector Nunes, a secret Jew living in England provided the information about the Spanish departure. The Jews may have played a small part in one of the great turning points in history, but it was a small part that made a big difference.
May 19, 1643: Representatives of four New England colonies confederate ade the United Coloneis of New England.

1645-51
The clan must have been now so attenuated by the destruction of the greater portion of its men in the bloody struggles in which it took part during those six fatal years from 1645-51, that it is not surprising we can find no record of its doings till A.D.1715.

Samuel Martin GUTLEBEN was born on May 19, 1877 in Colmar,Upper Rhine,Alsace and died on February 16, 1946 in Alameda,Alameda,CA at age 68.
Samuel married Bertha HOFFMAN, daughter of William HOFFMAN and Catherine HOFF, on April 5, 1899. Bertha was born on April 20, 1878 in ,,IL and died on October 18, 1946 at age 68.

May 1915: It was not until petitions urging the formation of the Delhi consolidated district were first circulated in the Unioin No. 1 subdistrict of northern Union Township, in late May 1915, that people in the Buck Creek area began to take seriously the issue of rural school consolidation. Once it became clear that the territorial ambitions of Delhi were quite limited in Uniion Township, attention in Union Township shifted to avoiding loss of territory to Hopkinton. The only effective way of ensuring against this was to explore the possibility of Unioin Township forming its own consolitadted district, somethi9ng that Chalice had been urging upon his parishioners for at least two years..

By late May 1915, sufficient interest in consolidaqtion existed in Hopkinton for school board member W. R. Reeve and other community leaders to propose that Hopkinton form a consolidated district consisting of an undisclosed amount of territory in South Fork Township and fifteen to sixteen sections of territory in the eastern half of Union Township. The portion of Unioin Township proposed for inclusion included all of subdistrict Nos. 5, 7, and 8 and most of No. 6.

As matters progressed, or did not progress, in the case of the Hopkinton consolidation effort, a compromise between the competing factions was not necessary. The movement to consolidate the rural schools surrounding Hopkinton with the Hopkinton Independent School District hit a snag that would subsepuently doom the proposition there altogetrher. The snag was that, just as the Hopkinton consolidation movement was getting underway, a Lenox College official announced that the college was experiencing a fiscal crisis and might be forced to close.

May 1917: At a meeting of delegates from all the Commercial Clubs in Delaware Countyu in May 1917, Chalice was again a featured speaker. At his urging, the Delaware County Food and Industrial War Association was formed to organize the entire county into a series of labor committees to coordinate the allocation of farm labor during the August October harvest season. Directors in the association were elected from each township; directors were prominent businessmen in their respective townships. The only exception was Chalice himself, who was appointed from Union Township.

May 1918: The initial outbreak of the disease, reported at Fort Riley in March, was followed by similar outbreaks in army camps and prisons in various regions of the country. The disease soon traveled to Europe with the American soldiers heading to aid the Allies on the battlefields of France. (In March 1918 alone, 84,000 American soldiers headed across the Atlantic; another 118,000 followed them the next month.) Once it arrived on a second continent, the flu showed no signs of abating: 31,000 cases were reported in June in Great Britain. The disease was soon dubbed the Spanish flu due to the shockingly high number of deaths in Spain (some 8 million, it was reported) after the initial outbreak there in May 1918.
Early May 1920: Since the Klan is a secret organization, membership data are nonexistent. It is not possible to estimate withn much precision how many members or what percentage of the Buck Creek Church members joined the Klan. Interviews with long term residents of the area lead to estimates running from half the male heads of families to all but three family heads. There is agreement, however, that almost all members of the Brotherhood who championed the formation of the Buck Creek consolidated school district joined the Klan, with some becoming very active. From early May 1920 onward, interest in the Klan grew among the Buck Creekers as the conflict over the formation of a consolidated school district intensified and increasingly took on religious overtones. Indeed, some people were unable to distinguish between social activities of the Buck Creek Church supporting the consolidation drive and similar activities by the Klan. Simply put, it appears that the Klan became the clandestine arm of the Buck Creek Brotherhood. Speakers at Klan rallies argued that Catholics in the Buck Creek area were opposed to the fully American, rural minded, consolidated school for one of two reasons. First, Catholics wanted their own parochial schools; they wanted to retain the country schools to save money for the education of their children in parochial schools. Second, Catholics wanted to retain the country schools so they could convert them into de facto parochial schools run and taught by Catholics. Such rhetoric fueled the false rumor among Buck Creekers that the Castle Grove Parish operated a parochial high school at Castle Grove. The fact was that the old school building there had not been used as a school for more than two decades.
Curtis Griggs, one of the few members of the Buck Creek Church w3ho opposed consolidation, remembered attending a Klan rally in the Buck Creek area with a friend who had already joined. Griggs did not join because “it cost $10.00 and I didn’t believe in anything that stirs up trouble…It was a fake. They took $10.00 from everybody that joined it and it was just to scare the Catholics about that trouble over the consolidated school. You see the Catholics was against the school and the Klan came in because of that to t
Stir up trouble.” Griggs, however, was the exception.

May 19, 1921: On May 19 a second notice of the petition to form the Buck Creek consolidated district was published in the Leader.


May 19, 1921: President Harding signs the first generally restrictive Immigration Act in the United States, initiating a quota system.. The drastic curb in of immigration…caused by the national origins quota system established restrictionism as permanent national policy. But because it was based on the 1910 census and thus allowed a preponderance of immigration of “inferior” and “backward” peoples from southern and eastern Europe, it did not satisfy the powerful Immigration Restriction League, the Klan, and other aggregations of racial nativists. Agitation for more discriminatory legislation brought about the more comprehensive and more severe Johnson-Reed Act of 1924, which adopted the census of 1890 as the basis for the immigrant quota to be allowed from each nation each year and prohibited Japanese immigration entirely. The act of 1924, by shifting the weight of immigration back to the supposedly superior “Nordic” or “Teutonic” peoples of northern and Western Europe, satisfied the Klan and almost all the other advocates of restriction.

• May 1924: Reichstag elections in May 1924 reflect the intense anger left by the chaotic preceding year. Radicals on the left and right make massive gains. DNVP (right-wing nationalists, against democracy) becomes strongest party. SPD and the middle parties loose. A radical rightist party (successor to the dissolved and illegal Nazi party) under Ludendorff emerges and wins about 6%. The minority cabinet under Marx and Stresemann continues to govern, as no majority in the polarized Reichstag can be found.
• Political stabilization continues slowly despite much anti-republican resentment. The influx of American credits secures a phase of relative, though unsound and deceptive, prosperity over the next few years.

May 1928
Reichstag elections in May 1928 seem to confirm the trend toward stability and democratic government started during the December elections of 1924: The SPD gains votes and forms a coalition with the Center, the DDP, and the DVP (a great coalition, as in 1923). Chancellor: Hermann Müller (SPD). Stresemann remains foreign minister until his death in October 1929. Nazis receive less than 3%. KPD remains strong. The DNVP's losses lead to a sharp rightist turn of the party under industrialist Alfred Hugenberg, who soon aligns the DNVP with the Nazis.


May 1938: In the Belfast Blitz, two-hundred bombers of the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) attack Belfast, Northern Ireland killing one thousand people. During World War II, a number of Jewish children escaping from the Nazis, via the Kindertransport, reached and were housed in Millisle. The Millisle Refugee Farm (Magill’s farm, on the Woburn Road) and was founded by teenage pioneers from the Bachad movement. It took refugees from May 1938 until its closure in 1948.


May 1939
Winston Churchill, in a speech in the House of Commons in May 1939, a year before he was named prime minister, at the cusp of the most horrific moment in Jewish history, described the exiles crowded into boats headed for Palestine as “that vast, unhappy mass of scattered, wandering Jews whose intense, unchanging, unconquerable desire has been for a national home.”

During World War II, all Jews in Germany had to wear a yellow Star of David emblazoned with the word Jude. Anyone who had one Jewish parent was considered a Jew because, as a German official put it, “among half-Jews the Jewish genes are notoriously dominant.” Having already been identified, German Jews were easy to gather into concentration camps when the war started. By the end of the war the Holocaust had reduced the worldwide Jewish population from a prewar high of 16.6 million to 11 million.
At the individual level, people have to decide how much they want to know about their own ancestry. What you don’t know usually can’t hurt you. Then again, for some people the information provided by test of genetic ancestry can provide a powerful sense of connectedness.

May 1940: President Roosevelt approves listening devises to be used on those who are suspected of subversive activities.


May 19, 1941: The last Italian troops in North Africa, commanded by the Duike of Aosta, surrencder to the British.

• May 1941: A pogrom against the Jews of Baghdad takes place.

May 19, 1942: Jews over the age of 6 in the Occupied Zone are required to wear the yellow star.

May 19, 1942: The German Army mounts a major attack near Kharkov in the Soviet Union.

May 1943: On May 1943 British troops march into the capital of Tunis while Americans march into Deserta.

PETITION OF JOHN VANCE;To the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the Legislature of the State of Virginia,
Gentlemen, Your petitioner humbly sheweth that in the year seventy-six I turned out a Volunteer under Captain Stevenson as sargeant and Clerk to the Company and marched to Williamsburg, and then joined the eighth Virginia regiment commanded by Colonel Peter Milinsky and marched from there to Charles Town in South Carolina, and the Company I belonged to, with two more companys, was sent to assist at the Battle of Sulivans Island, from thence we marched to Sunsberry in Georgia under General Lee and remained there untill our time of service was out.

And you Petitioner as in duty bouned shall ever pray,

Jeffery, thanks for the nice reply. I don’t know if I mentioned, but my DAR application was received and is currently being reviewed at the National level. By visiting their website at http://www.sar.org/ and looking under the “membership” tab and then “application status” one can track by State their application’s progress. By looking, I saw that it seems to take 3 -4 months for approval if granted. I understand they are receiving an inordinately high volume of applications for membership this year. I am told the political atmosphere in the country is driving some of the new interest. Given your busy schedule, have you had any progress with your application? You were interested in the website for the Valley Forge information on Thomas Moore. By going to http://www.nps.gov/vafo/index.htm you can search under Muster Rolls and then by the soldier’s name. I did want to tell you how enjoyable and fun it has been carrying on a correspondence with you. Perhaps we will meet some day. If you find you will be near Indianapolis Indiana sometime, please let me know. Additionally, given we have a common ancestor in Captain Moore, do you know what is our distant relationship to each other might be?


Best Wishes, John Moreland


John, Congratulations on your application being reviewed. Thank you for reminding me about my application. I will try to get it completed this week. Since I have several ancestors who fought in the America Revolution both on my father and mothers side I am trying to pick one that would have the least difficulty in finding all the documentation. I will let you know if I will be in your area and also if you are ever in the Chicago area let me know. Captain Thomas L. Moore is my 5th Great Grand Uncle in Law, and his wife Mary Harrison is my 5th Great Grand Aunt. If you send my your lineage to Captain Moore my computer can tell us how we are related. It is interesting as I continue to sift through the various ancestors that were in the Revolution era of how intertwined they were in each others lives either with families, or business, or as neighbors. Today on this day there is a Jonathan Vance, who probably knew Thomas Moore. Sometimes these individuals were at the same battles, and later in the Civil War, their descendants sometimes were at the same battle, fighting against each other.
