old and an infant SON. years old, were
already occupying the new home.
A good deal OF nervousness Is felt In
the neighborhood this evening because OF
Won Krehs's escape and the current re-
ports that he has recently made threats
against many OF the people. II has been
recalled that he has often expressed en-
nifty against Supreme Court Judge Frank
