About II o'clock Saturday night
Miller and Carlson, taking o. S. Per-
kins along for company, started TO
Atchison after Six. They had war
rant issued on a complaint recorded
in the court of Topeka, which charged
that the life insurance agent defraud-
ed Paul Heinz assistant city attorney
out of 500. The complaint in the
court of Topeka charges that SIX rep
resented to Heinz that the former had
$500 on deposit in the Central Ma
tional bank of Topeka and had a SINH
lar amount due him from a life insur-
ance company which has headquarters
in Kansas City, Mo. The complaint,
sworn to by Heinz, alleged that on the
strength of these statements the assist

afterwards he says he found out that
the borrower didn't have the money he
said he had.

Carlson, Miller and Perkins arrived
in Atchison early Sunday morning and
went to the h tel where Six was stay

'where are you going?" was his
surprised query.

Miller

SKIS forcible declaration. The insur-
ance agent tried to jump from the car,
according to Carlson and Miller, but
was forcibly detained
Failing in this maneuver. Six threw
his arms around Miller and began to
pull, officials say. He succeeded in
making Miller let loose of the steering
wheel, according to Carlson, and the
undersheriff. to keep the prisoner
from getting away, was forced to grab
him around the shoulders like he
would grab a sack of flour.
While the struggle was going on the
car went wild. 1t hit a curbing. ca
reened over the sidewalk and crashed
into a store building
IN less tlfne tn3n II takes to tell 1t,
officials say, a number of policemen
were on the scene and Miller who
thruOut the crash, had kept hold of
his man, was assisted in quieting him
Car Slightly Damaged.
The car was not badly injured. One
tire was destroyed and after a good
one was substituted. the party came
en- to Topeka arriving here Sunday
Six was booked at the county jail
He made the trip mere handcuffed
according to the sheriffs office
That incident at Atchison would
have made a good movie for a little
while" Miller said this morning.
1t was understood at the courthouse
today that the complaint against Six
will not be prosecuted as settlement
in the case, satisfactory to all con-
Cerncd is to be made. This would re-
suit, of course, in Six being dismissed
from custody and the warrant can
