Krug's Memory
off Wild Baby
Clings TO Him
Sits in Jail Talking of Actress
Episode as Police Prepare
Long List of Charges.

Henry B. Krug, %, who figured in a
police episode with wild baby week
ago, does not profess to be a fighter.
He's an attorney by profession.
But Mr.. Krug was behind the bars at
the city jail early yesterday while the
prosecuting attorney was filing out af-
fdav1ts against him.
Here is why Mr.. Krug was locked up,
the police say:
Drunkenness, operating an automobile
while under the influence of liquor, oper-
ating a blind tiger and drawing deadly
weapons.
While Mr. Krug peered through the
iron gate at the Jail during the four-hour
armistice the police imposed in such
cases as his, his thoughts ran back to the
wild baby" episode of a week ago. He
didn't seem to care great deal about the
charges under which he was held. 1t
was the wild baby that interested him.

blotches of blood from wounds he re-
ceived in a fight early today. His shirt
and collar also showed evidence of
struggle.

Don't forget that-she was some wild
baby
