CAN BE INDICTED IN INDIANA.
No cognizance can be taken in Illinois Of
the murder Of Brakeman l.. J. Sovea In
Indiana Friday of the shooting of De-
tectives Driscoll and Zimmerman in Indiana
during the fight that preceded the capture
of Van Dein. Roeski and Neidermeier.
1t is the intention of States Attorney
Deneen to bring the men TO trial as quickly
as possible. 1t may be necessary TO have
two trials. as. although the four men usually
worked together, when the greater crimes
were committed. one of the number was often
absent. Roeskd not at the robbery of
the car barns, and had no part In the MUIR
ders committed at that time. Marx was
alone when he killed Detective Quinn. and
was i'm jail yesterday when the murders
were committed In Indiana. Roesh and
Marx therefore probably will have separate
trials, unless a general plea of guilty il
made by all four men, Ii is believed they
will plead guilty. as all have confessed.

the forceps of the doctor. Twenty-eight
small shot were taken from Roeskis body.
thirteen from Van Dein's body and six from
the face and forehead of Neidermeier. Mel

when the physicians were probing for some
shot lodged in the mans back. That's
what you get for running" they laughed.
