MADE no RESISTANCE

A tall. lean young man. roughly
dressed. was lying under a small auto
mobile IN . clearing In the rough coun-
'ry about. twenty-seven miles north Of
Portland, Ore. just over the Washing
ton State line. when three men came
out Of the woods-seemlngly out Of
nowhere-that trimmed the clearing and
advanced quickly toward the PROSTATE
figure.
Almost within an arm length Of the
man under the car q shotgun. loaded in
both barrels, rested against a corner Of
the rude shack in the middle Of the
clearing. Deity ono OF the three visitors
stepped between the man under the car
and the loaded gun as the callers ordered
the man on the ground to get to his
feet
Inasmuch as the three men, who were
Government oficers who for days had
been on the trail OF Lawyer jeremiah
O'Leary OF Manhattan--anti-Br British,
pro-Gernsan. Sim Fein agitator-knew
wnom they sought. they had little dim
guilty in recognizing the oratorically in
clined young man when he crawled out
from under the car and stood before
hem. But the enthusiastic disturbers
IN Manhattan and environs who for
many months past had yelled their ap-
prevail every time Jerry o'ieary faced
pro.German audience would have
had a hard time convincing themselves
that the wretched. dishevelled. greasy

jeremiah OLeary threw up his hands
and advanced toward his captors. Three
shots from automatic pistols broke the
forest stiffness close to OLeary. but
'he bullets were fred into tine air and
were discharged merely as signals 10 a
posse Of civilians from the general
neehborhood. impressed into service by
the Federal officers. to come forward.
And from the surrounding woods, again
seemingly from nowhere. came the posse
and trimmed the little group Of captors
and prisoner as the Federal Officers
snapped manacles on O'Leary's wrists.
Il guess it's hanging for me-" were
ne only words O'Leary Is quoted by his
captors as saying when they hAndcuffed
him.
Then he asked IL he might enter the
rough shack in which he had been livinE
since he came to the little chicken farm
three acres of clearing in the heart OF
me uoods--about May 20. He could not,

oficers. at least not until they had gone

perhaps would be preferable.
Unable to Get sleep.
Night after night, for more than two
weeks. O'Leary had paced the fores
