CHICAGO. Dec. 90. - When Judge

Monday morning Mr.. Gregory, repre-

knew that this could not be done so

the sentence in the government case.
He asked the court TO SO modify the
sentence that IL become cumulative,

sentence. and to stay execution until
tho defendants could take the issue

The Government Agrees.

asked few questions OF the opposing
counsel touching the issue and, after a

unnaturally took to be the King and
his courtiers, and with profound
obeisance introduced himself.
The supposed King received him
with gracious condescension till the
doors opened and an even more mag

King and showed to the discounted
italian that he had been kneeling te-
