Auto Bandits Taken Here
Tell Chicago Police
of Thirds Drowning.
MAY CLEAR MYSTERY
slim, Third of Bandit Trio,
May Be Man Whose Body Was
Found at Wind Point, Racine.

Escaping the Kenosha police to
drown in Lake Michigan, was the fate
of the third member of the band of
auto bandits, two OF whom were cap
tured in Kenosha last Sunday morning
along with the Packard touring car
which they had stolen from w. H.
Leland of Chicago This was the state
ment made to Chicago police officials
by Harold Foster and George Kelly,
the two thieves who were captured and
who are now held in Chicago on charg-
es of highway robbery and grand lar
ceny. The thieves declared that they
had confederate, whom they knew
only By the name of "Slim" and that
he separated from them along the lake
shore. They believe that he is the
man who was found drowned off Wind
Point in Racine Wednesday morning.
Are Not Very Talkative.
The two bandits who were captured
by the Kenosha police and who were
taken to Chicago have not been very
talkative but they finally admitted to
the police that they had confederate
and that they had lost track of him
after they abandoned the car and sour
ried towards the lake shore in an at
tempt to escape from the officers. The
bandits believe that "Slim" may have
leaped into the lake to save himself
from capture and have been drowned.
In the pockets Of the drowned man
was found card bearing the name of
Emil Reach, but the bandits declare
that they do not know whether that
was the name Of their confederate or
not. They do say that the descriptions
tally.
May Have Been Suicide.
1t was believed by the coroner's jury
at Racine that the man found drowned
there was a suicide. This fact was sub
stantiated by the finding of a rope
moose in his pocket which tended to
give credence to the belief that the
man had started to hang himself bat
later decided on drowning as method
of suicide. He had less than two dol
lars in his pockets.
Police of Kenosha were not certain
whether or not there were two or three
men in the stolen car. When the ban
dts here reiterated that there were
only two in the car to protect the con-
federae who had escaped, all search
was given up for the third member,
whom one policeman had thought that
he had seen in the car.
Bonds Placed at $500
| Foster and Kelly were arraigned be-
fore Judge John F. Haas in Chicago
Saturday afternoon and were held tc
the grand jury in bonds of $4,000. 1t
is anticipated that they will be indicted
on charges of highway robbery and
grand larceny as they are charged with
being the men who held up Leland on
Chicago thoroughfare and after
| stripping him of his cash and jewelry
drove away in his Packard touring car

FOX NABS AUTO
THIEVES SUNDAY
Emil Fox Pinches Speed
ers and Discovers Nash
Stolen from Chicago.
RETURNED TO CITY

Emil Fox, deputy sheriff and an Off
Ger of the state conservation forces,
proved himself every inch an officer
when he brought two Chicago auto
thieves, Erskine Macleod of $50 Mich
igan avenue and Johan Cromj ongh of
the Evanston Hotel, into the police Of
fee late Sunday night According to
Fox, the Nash car was travelling at
high rate of speed on Sheridan road
at $3.50 in the morning. AT first he
thought that they were merely young
men Fastening home after calling on
some young ladies, but since the rate
of speed was so great, he apprehended
them.
Couldn't Answer Questions.
The fellows in the car could give no
intelligent answers to the questions
put to them by Fox and this aroused
the officers, suspicious. Further ques-
tioning brought to light the fact that
the car had been stolen from the cor
ner of Broadway and Wilson avenue on
Sunday night. The car, a seven-pass-
enger Nash, was equipped with all the
latest accessories and it was this fact,
the men stated, that led them to take
the car.
Chicago Police Come for Men.
The Chicago police were notified and
two officers from the Chicago force
auto department came to Kenosha this
morning and took the men back to Chi
cago. The automobile thieves made a
full confession to the police, A $50
reward for the return of the automo-
bile in all probability will be given to
Emil Fox for the arrest of the two
thieves and the recovery of the car.
Fox this morning was elated over the
arrest and stated that the reward
would be welcomed Fox is motor
cycle officer, working nights.
