kee was the barrister who almost
turned a trick on the Kenoshal police
and secured the release of the two
Red Birds" He quietly came into
,enosha on Tuesday afternoon, armed
with a writ of habeas corpus for each
Of the prisoners, all written out and
ready for the signature of the court
commissioner. He went first to Court
Commissioner Clifford E. Randall and
asked that the writ be signed 1t is
left in the power of the court commits
sioner as to whether the writ will be
made returnabe instanter or at some
other date and over this question At
torney Nobel stumbled.
Commissioner Randall could not re-
fuse to issue the writ but he did tell
,he attorney from Milwaukee that he
would make it returnable on Wednes-
day morning "Instanter or not at all, I"
was the reply Of the Milwaukee man
as he left the Office to see another
court commissioner,

Secures More Evidence.
"The fact that this Milwaukee attor-
ney came to Kenosha to secure the re-
lease CT these men is indicative to the
police that they are part of the nation
wide radical Organization" declared
Acting Chief Thad Logan this morning
n discussing the case. I'VE have them
now where we can hold them securely
until all investigations have been COM
pIcted Only this morning we found
more radical literature which they had
been circulating and we feel certain
that they are responsible for most Of
the Red circulars which have been
floating around this city"
