Six New Indictments May Mean Over

Six New Indictments May Mean Over
100000 For Jack Johnson.
Chicago, Nov. 13.--With four new
indictments against him and the prob
ability that two others will soon be
returned, Jack Johnson, colored pu-
gilist, waited in the county Jail while
his attorneys continued their attempt
to secure bail for him.
With the increase in the number Of
the indictments the question of bond
became still more serious for the
champion. Should the court decide to
increase the surety demanded in the
same ratio thot he demanded on the
first indictments, the total bond would
be more than 100000.
The new indictments are based on
alleged trips Johnson took with Belle
Schneider from Chicago to Milwaukee.
Indictments are said to have been
voted on charges that Johnson took
the woman to Indianapolis on one trip
and to Detroit on another.
