POLICE ASKED
TO LOCATE HIM

The police were asked yesterday aft
ernoon to locate Frank Cusik. a brick
layer at Indiana Harbor. A woman
who came from Chicago and who gave
her name as Mrs. Doyle made the re-
quest. giving as her reason the fact
that Cusik's little daughter was dying.
The little one had been left by Cusik
about two years ago with a family at
43rd street and Ashland avenue since
when he has not seen much of the
child. She was taken sick some time
ago and her ailment later developed
into spinal meningitis. Mrs. Doyle
knew of the child's sickness and
thought 1t would be pity If the little
one We're allowed to die without the
father seeing her for the last time and
understanding that Cusik was in In
diana Harbor set forth to locate him
The police aided her SO well that by
this morning the man was found and
notified of the precarious condition of
his little girl. He started for Chicago
at once, but a telephone message from
Chicago this morning indicates that
the child died before her father ar
rived.

been no case either here last year or at

McManigal confessed having blown up
the Llewellyn iron works on Chrlstinas

dictment which charges him and the I'M
prisoned Mcnamara brothers. Olaf Iveit-
moe, +. A. Clancy and j. f.. Munsey win
having conspired illegally to transport
dynamite into California. But the gem

federal prosecutor in Indianapolis 1t was
understood that nothing serious would
happen to him when he was returned :,
Pending the outcome of the indianapolis
