so Warden Crawford held Krakus by
the right wrist
The court appointed David ]. Rein
hards as counsel and when the inter

right hand he attempted to take off
his coat, but was restrained. War

his coat and then Warden Crawford
held up the mans arm while Deputy
Clerk of the Peace John l.. Wright,
read the indictment
Prisoner MumbIes.
Kralxus kept mumbling to himself
and his body swayed to and fro while
the interpreter followed the indict-
ment read by MIR. Wright. AT times,
in addition to holding Krakus' wrists,
the wardens had to prop his back
with their hands
Refused 10 Plead.
The interpreter asked Krakus three
different times to plead to the indict-
ment, but he refused to do so.
Chief Justice Pennewill ordered a
plea of not guilty to be entered. rhe
court then informed Mr.. Reinhardt
that the court expected him to be
ready for trial on Monday. Krakus
was then removed from the dock and
later removed to the workhouse.
Injured Improving.
The condition of Patrolman Will
lard Sharpless. who is suffering from
two gun shot wounds at the hands of
Krakus, as well as Patrolman Horace
Mcdaniel, who was wounded, are
reported to be improving. Officer
Sharpless had a restful night, atten-
dants at the Delaware Hospital said
today. His condition yesterday was
so much improved that his relatives
were allowed to see him.
Chief Black, II was announced to-
day, would visit the workhouse tomor-
row or Wednesday, when he will ques-
tion Krakus. II is thought that the
prisoner will make a clean breast OF
the career of crime on which he had
entered as soon as he hears that
Montvid has thrown the blame for the
murder of the Rev. Joseph Debrows
on him.

known as the Catholic Leader. This

State OF Connecticut offered a reward

derers: the city of New Britain offered
similar amount, and the Lithuanian
Society of New Britain offered $500. a
total reward of $4,000.
