from the Chicago police and federal
authorities.
But simultaneously with the shat

cording to MuhlcnbroCk. that Wilson
did not leave Colorado after the Tur-

supposed, but that he was in such
poor health he was Obliged to seek
cover in sanatorium. where he still
Is undergoing treatment.
This information is based upon the
theory of numerous persons who
Knew members of the gang at ellis
last summer. They believe that after
killing Turner Wilson went in an au-
tomobile to Brighton, over the Night
hawk Hill road, and took train for
sanatorium.

Then, too. one Is soon made to realize
that much Of the plot and stage busi-
ness Is concerned with a chicken. Why
does a chicken cross the street? they
asked then as now. In "Gammer
Gurton's Needle" the chicken Is sup
posed to have crossed the street to
enter the gilded gin mill. Recently on
the stage Of the New Amsterdam
Theatre the question, why does a
chicken cross the street?" war asked.

the while toward the inviting door Of

which the chicken is supposed to have
disappeared. Now there's a line that
might have been clipped bodily from
any copy Of the midnight ten cent
edition OF the Morning Telegraph.
Finally In the matter OF rhymes
"Gammer Gurton's Needle" might
have been written by none other than
Irving Berlin himself. To be fair to
