THE TIME LIMIT HAD EXPIRED
SURRENDERs AFTER BEING FUGI-
TIVE FROM JUSTICE FOR TEN
YEARS.
BOUNDED BY LAW ron YEARS
HAD BEEN ENGAGED IN THE MANU-
'.
FACTURE OF SPURIOUS
COIN.

Chicago, March %. - For ten years
Peter Clnculis has been a fugitive from
justice, bounded by the law as a
counterfeiter, tracked from city to city
and from country to country as an es-
capped Jail bird.
yesterday he surrendered himself to
the law confessed felon - and the
prison refused to open and receive him.
The time for Furnishing him had expired
and by the same law which sought to
rob him Of his freedom he received his
liberty.
Such is the story of Peter Cinculis, Il
middle aged man, a Lithuanian. who
walked out of the insane court at the
detention hospital shortly before noon
yesterday, where he had at last turned
up after having Travelled all over the
world in an effort to avoid arrest.
Ten years ago. according to strange
story which he told the jury in the tri-
bunal for the insane, he had been ar
rested in Pittsburg by federal secret
service officers on charge of counter
letting United States money. He was
lodged in Jail in the Pennsylvania city.
He and his two companions with whom
he had been engaged in the manufac-
luic VI spurious COIN WHICH udu
brought about their Imprisonment,
Plotted to Escape.
Cinculis alone succeeded. He had
squeezed himself through the prison
window past the bars which had been
sawed after many days of secret work
and planning, when the plot was dis
covered before the other two could
follow him. Their Indictment on the
counterfeiting charge followed - and
both are in the Pennsylvania peniten-
tiary. serving long sentences. After his
delivery from the Jail Cinculis fed to
Canada. and travelled all over the
world. He returned to the United
States.
He recently reached Chicago and .
few days ago told a policeman that ho
was counterfeiter. The policeman
arrested him. thinking that he was in
sane. Cinculis' story was investigated
and found to be true. 1t was found.
however, that he had not been indicted
and that the time limit for securing an
indictment had lapsed.
The jury returned verdict declaring
Cinculis to be of sound mind and he
was released from custody. He says
that he has led an honest life for ten
years.

government has refused to recognize
either of them, declaring that neither

tions in the slightest degree.
No Money for Bribery.
Washington, March 29.-The state de-
partment will take no steps to bring
to the attention Of the Danish govern
rnent the charges against the integrity
of American statesmen said to have
been preferred by Capt. Christmas and
Thursday brought to the attention Of
the house OF representatives.. The de-
partment regards the charges as UNI
worthy Of it's attention by reason Of
insufficient evidence and obvious error
in statements Of alleged facts. The
department is perfectly aware. also.
that the Danish government does not
intend 10 pay one cent of the 100000
claimed by Christmas as his compen-
sation or commission. so that. OF
course, none Of the money could be
used to corrupt American statesmen
and newspapers.
