Indictment for alleged violation of the
criminal provision of the sherman
antitrust law was scheduled to go on
before Judge Carpenter today. there
was hope among the defendants that

There was 4 possibility that the
higher court would hand down a de-
cision as to whether it would hear oral
arguments on the constitutionality of

the supreme court last Tuesday TO

an intimation that it viii review the

little was hoped for by the defendants
on this score.

SOAPS HIS BODY
Suspected Bank Robber Squeezes
Through Small Hole.

Nortonville. Kan, Dec. 11.-By COW
tring his body with a mixture of soap
and lard, James How, a suspected
bank robber who weighs 900 pounds,
squeezed himself through small
opening at the Jail here. and made
his escape. So far no trace of him
has been discovered.
Howe, it is said. had told the turn
key that no Jail was strong enough to
hold him, and that he would make his
escape before the week was out. The
turnkey laughed the matter off, how
ever. and thought no more about it.
When he went to call Howe to break
fast the next morning, he found the
prisoner gone.
The Jail here is a brick structure.
and investigation showed that Howe
removed several brick and wriggled
himself through a tw elVe inch open
ing. He had taken off all of his cloth
ing and pushed it through the hole.
1t is supposed that after he had made
his way to freedom he replaced his
clothes and then boarded an outbound
freight train.
