HARD ON LAWYERS

Chicago. March Edward Hicks
told Judge Mckinley when arraigned
on charge Of murder today that
there was not an attorney in Chicago
truthful enough to represent him and
for that reason he would act as his
own counsel.
Furthermore Hicks expressed a
willingness to dispose with the serv-
'ces OF jury and permit the court to
pass on the evidence.
II have heard that you are an inn
partial and honorable Judge" said
Hicks. "and I would rather place my
fate In your hands than in those Of
jury"
Judge Mckinley thanked Hicks for
the compliment but in compliance
with the law appointed an attorney to
represent him.
Hicks Is accused of having killed
August Folxenlogel. q saloonkeeper,
in fight over some free lunch. He
pleaded self defense.

The first the soldiers knew anything
unusual was going on was when they
heard the buzzing of the propelle,
flying high and swiftly.
The soldiers were astonished to see
Berry slip down under the aeroplane.
