and it's possible outcome a matter of
no consequence, seems now to realize
for the first time the situation in
which he is placed He spent the
greater part of Saturday in his cell

a man." Several persons called dur

to them for more than a minute at a

down his cell, heaping maledictions
upon courts. juries and the police
When he ceased this he would sit
down, bury his face in his hands and
weep. He still asserts that he was not
properly convicted, because the three
car barn murderers were found guilty
in forty-five minutes, and he was con.
victed in less than thirty minutes.

bersi of the Team OWNERS association,
however, stated just as positively that
the officials of the Transfers. union
had agreed to such an arbitration.
For the first time in several days a
riot broke out Thursday and there
were numerous fights between non
union men and the union teamsters.
One of the disturbances at Twenty
second street and Indiana avenue,
blocked all traffic and delayed street
cars for half an hour. The police were
compelled to use their clubs vigorous

made several arrests.
