When Attorneys Seek Con-
tinuanCe in Reed Bind Tiger

/ France. known alternately in history
as Louis the Great and Louis the lit
tie; but Louie had little, if anything,
on City Judge Herbert l.. Warner.
save that the former was France and
the latter is only Indiana.
The STATE of Indiana is in this
chair" said the Judge Thursday morn
ing. incident to little three-cornered
tilt in which the judge, Deputy Pros
ecutor Nye and Attorney Barry Scan
lon participated. The attorneys were
given to understand that the court
would regulate its procedure. and
when Scanlan attempted TO defend
himself on the basis of having had an
understanding with the state-mean-
ing the prosecutors ofhce-he was
forthwith given to understand that
he had been barking up the wrong
tree.
1.-The man on the bench is the
state" the court declared, and Deputy
Prosecutor Nye began looking around
for his civil government text.
Charges Of operating a blind tiger
lodged against Frank Reed of the
Reed hotel at 329 1-2 s Michigan ST..
and charges Of frequenting a house of
i'll repute made against Bernice KEEL
ly and Bessie Hawkins Of the same
address, and Leo stopper OF MlSha-
waka- were being contested. Barry
Scanlon. attorney for the defendants,
entered a motion to quash the affi-
davits filed by the prosecuting attor-
ney.
Judge Warner demanded that Scan
lon argue the motion immediately,
and both Scanlon and Deputy Prose
cutor Nye asked for a continuance un-
til next Saturday. Nye had phoned
ScanlOn before the court session and
informed him that the cases would
not be taken UP Thursday as there
were several other matters to come
up first. The defense argued that II
would take more than an hour TO ar
que the matter satisfactorily, and that
it was not prepared.
The court asserted that If the ar
gument was to be postponed until Sat
urday some record should be made.
Both attorneys held that a record
could not properly be made until the
charge In the affidavit IS Strengthened
oul ma linally the court consented to
allow the matter to rest until Satur-
day, although Judge Warner stated
that it was entirely out Of form.

Chicago Police Seek
Notorious Character In
Underworld Murder

CHICAGO, April 9.-James Franche
black sheep OF respectable family,
and known in the underworld as
Duffy the Goat, was being sought to-
day by the police in an effort TO clear
up the murder last night of William
Woods of san Francisco, in Roy
Jones cafe, notorious resort in the
red light district.
A woman described as young and
pretty, was with Franche and Woods
when the murder was committed, but
she disappeared and no trace Of her
has been found. The shooting fol-
lowed a quarrel over woman's suf-
frage.
Considerable mystery surrounds the
murder, the news of which was sup
pressed several hours by the powers
controlling the district.
Jones admitted that a shooting had
occurred I'm his cafe, but denied he
knew a man had been killed.
While in Jones place the two men
were heard TO engage in an angry ar
gument. Franche became enraged
when his victim insisted that women
have a right TO vote, it was said.
Women belong at home," cried
Franche. When Woods refused TO ad-
NIT this, "the goat" is alleged to have
drawn a revolver and fired, the bullet
piercing Woods heart.

''Dago Franks mother has secured
an affidavit from Frank REQ TO ac-
count for the time that her son on

is my hope that the governor will
grant the reprieve on the strength of
this affidavit.
Even if the governor turns down
the final appeal that will be sent to
him | still will have hope that the
four boys will not die. 1t is a vague
hope that during the final hours that
intervene before they are to die that
the governor viii think things over;
will reason out that there might be
some chance that these boys are in
nocent and that he will order stay
Of execution.
