TWINS HOLD UP TRAIN
One is Killed and Other Surrenders After Robbing New Orleans Chi cago F9icr at Kankakee.

"s ""Ae' ;,
 Kankakee, Ill.,, Dec 29.-One of the two youthful bandits who held up the New Orleans-Chicago flyer on the Illinois Central Railroad near here last night, was killed in a battle with police and railroad detectives at Aroma Park, four miles east, early today and the other surrendered. The youths, Jose and Jacob Scott, twins, aged 24, were said to be the sons of an autom obile mechanic at Greenville III.
 A holdup of the Cincinnati bound train on the Big Four Railroad was contemplated by the two robbers, it was believed, but was prevented when the station agent at Aroma Park tele- graphed a warning that two men re- sembling the robbers were in his sta tion waiting room. Police and railroad detectives arrived as the Big Four train pulled in and chased Jacob Scott through the train into a wash room, firing through the walls until the robber was fatally wounded.
 Only the rear pullman on the Illinois Central train was robbed Several hundred dollars in cash and a few thousand dollars worth of jewelry were recovered.

Assistant District Atty. George H. oheE ar guexi that the indictment set out two violations of the Volstead act ana the demurrer was made to remove the fe- strictions upon the court requiring a minimum penalty of $2O0 fine and one mOnrnS 1H1DTlSOnfltHih hi Cohen said, however, the government was glad to have the question raised to what really is a second offense. MT. Cohen went into the history of the prohibition law since 1917, in- cIuding the war time prohibition act passed November I, 1918, effective July 1, 1919. and argued that there was no one who did not know it was a crime to sell liquor. Mir. Cohen contended it has been crime since July 1, 1919, and all that was neces- sary was to inform the grand jury that the accused had been convicted of that crime and that the charge was a second offense-
