"SHOOT TO KILL" ORDERS
GIVEN -FOUR POLICEMEN
Men and Women Searched for
Weapons Before Entering Court
Room-Bandits on Trial.

CHICAGO, Jan. s.-The third day of the
trial of Van Dine, Marx and Niedermeier,
barn bandits. ended with the selection
of only one juror, the first one chosen. Two
policemen stood at the entrance Of the
courtroom and searched every one who en-
tered, including women for weapons that
might be given to the prisoners Six of the
men searched were found to be armed.
Their weapons were confiscated. Mrs. Van
Dine and Mrs. Nedermeier. mothers of
two of the men on trial. were among those
forced to go into an anteroOm, where a
police matron searched them.
Four crack shots Of the police department
were also on guard in the court building
with instructions to Shoot to kill" if any
attempt to rescue the three bandits was
made.
The police believe that the bandits, es-
pecially Nedermeier, have numerous
friends throughout the country. If these
men, while the prisoners are being taken
to or from the courtroom. should begin
shooting it would cause a panic among the
guards and others and possibly enable one
of the bandits to escape
