IBy Evening New. staff Correspondent
NEW BRUNSWICK, April To-
Word has been received by Prose-
cutor Joseph E. Stricken, that Will
lam Lillian, the alleged Elizabeth
bootlegger, who was to have been
tried in the county court this week
on a charge of carrying concealed
weapons, and who it was subse-
quently learned had gone to San
Francisco. will return here on Mon
day and surrender himself to the
federal authorities.
Lillian was arrested in Metuchen
on a charge of illegally transporting
liquor. and a charge of carrying con-
cealed weapons, also was pressed
against him at the time. His bail on
the concealed weapon charge was
declared forfeited early this week.
due to his failure to appear in court
for trial. The prosecutor stated this
morning that Lillian's return will
save the county a considerable
amount, as otherwise an officer
would have to be sent after him.
The man is wanted in the federal
court at Trenton, having pleaded
guilty to transporting liquor. 1t is
believed he will stand trial here, in
as much as he claims the gun found
in the pocket of an overcoat in his
car did not belong to him.
Bauries Also Returning
"Chick" Bauries, who is wanted
here to answer to a charge of con-
Quoting a gambling house, and who
also went to San Francisco. is re-
ported to be returning from the coast
although not in company of Lillian.
He is expected back Tuesday or We'd
nesday.
