Seattle, Wash. - A smallish,
swarthy, mild-mannered, good-na-

city Jail here, facing charge of high
way robbery.
Seattle knows him as a bold, bad
bandit. A few days ago he had the
whole town on edge. Every spare
man on the police force was out try
ing to hunt him down. A score of
deputy sheriffs were scurrying
around the highways leading from
Seattle, armed with grim-looking
Winchesters and instructions to
shoot to kill, if necessary.
Between the bandit and his pur-
suers many shots were exchanged.
The fact that nobody was killed
even injured-seems due to caprice
of Fate, coupled with poor marks

The Greek held up a man. He
says he did it because he was hun
cry and could find no work.
And now he is in Jail, smoking in
Vulnerable cigarettes, testing with
the prisoners and jailers and appear
ing to take himself and the whole
world as one huge joke. He looks
as innocent as babe and as harm
less as kitten.
