EARL DILL IN
 PULASKI JAIL
Fact Made Public for Reason That Fear of a Demonstration is Over, as the Alleged Assaulter Has Been Regularly Indicted and Case Set for Trial.

Little Rock Ark. July l.-lIarl Dill, who has been indicted for an as- sault on Miss Ray Burkhalter, is con- fined in the Pulaski county jail and is receiving the same treatment that is accorded any other prisoner. He is in the cell rooms with other pris- oners and is allowed the same priv ileges, no more and no less. Passes to visit Dill have been issued to his attorney, Lewis Rhoton, and to his mother and brother-inlaw
 Dill has been in the county jail several days but a direct confirma- tion of the rumor of his confinement was not obtainable from the authori- ties, as they had sufficient reason not to talk about the case at all. Dill was not removed from Garland coun- ty until after he had been indicted and the case set for trial. By not announcing the absolute whereabouts of Dill the public, as it has been eager for information. learned first of the progress, being made by the courts. It was deemed wise by the authori- ties that the fact that speedy action had been taken by the grand jury, and that the case was set for trial, should be matter of common n- formation before the whereabouts of Dill was definitely known.
 Mrs Dill visited her son at the jail yesterday and had long talk l with him What mother and son had 1 to say is not known. but it is known ] that the mother is suffering under the strain probably as much as' her son The youth is behaving at the jail just
 as the other prisoners. and there is
 nothing ill his demeanor to indicate that he is under indictment for a
 crime, which, on conviction. would
 bring death as the only penalty
