WOMEN CAN
GET AWAY WITH MURDER

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-Q, n. So
"No one can possibly tell when a WON
an is punishable Tor killing"
The authority for this statement
is Donald II. Rlchberg, special as
sistant corporation counsel, who ad
mits he has sought the law in vain.
THE commandment, Thou shalt
not kill is not expressed in any law
university understood or uniformly
enforced when the killing is come by.
or on account of woman" said Mr..
Richberg.
In telling how he Sought the law
in vain the attorney said:
at appears that an unfaithful hus-
band or suitor who gets drunk may be
killed by a young or even middle
aged woman.
"a man may be a bigamist in one
state, a married man in another and
unmarried man in the third, and all
at the same time.
The petty crook has far more re-
spect for the political power of his
competitive crooks and his personal
enemies than he has for the law.

through the lattice and beat on a bell
with the heavy candlestick
Now with renewed hope he ex-
amined the.wall Of the tower. From
the balcony to the belfry It was of
brick. laid in a design that left a
series OF shallow indentations an inch
and a half or two inches deep. It
was barely possible TO climb up the
face Of the wall by thrusting fingers
and toes into these indentations.
He tried It on the leeward side. But
his numb fingevs slipped from the
bricks when he had ascended but a
few feet and he fell back on the bal
cony. His strength was waning. II
he was to succeed it must be quickly.
He forced himself to dance and
swing his arms to get his blood going
again. Then. when his fingers felt
more supple, he ran around to the
windward side of the tower. 1t was
colder there but the force OF the gale
would help TO hold him against the
bricks. Again he set himself to climb
up the sheer wall.
Inch by inch he fought his way up.
A dozen times it seemed that he would
slip off but each time he gripped his
fingers harder on the bricks and stuck.
Finally he thrust an arm through the
lattice and clung there. Then he
nullad the sixteen inch candlnstick

As Wallace made his way through
the basement he passed the bottom Of
the tower. As he glanced up the great
shaft he was struck by the idea that
ii would be interesting to go up to the
balcony some two hundred and fifty
feet up and listen TO the chimes from
there. Then. too, he had never been
up in the tower IN a snowstorm. 1t
would be worth trying.
Mr.. Hodge had taken the elevator
up and Wallace had to climb the cir
cular staircase. II was stiff work but
he was young and didn't mind Pant
Ing, he reached the landing from

Also he must get down before his

home.
The door would not yield. It was
locked. Wallace. With a thrill Of fear,
realized that it must have sprlng

ia a sudden panic he kicked ana
beat a: the door and shouted at the
TOP OF his voice. There was no au-
swer, though he shouted and kicked
the door again and again. He was
locked out on the balcony IL the midst
Of a bowling blizzard.

sible to make him hear n cry for help

All the time it grew colder and cold.
er' Though he had on heavy over
coat and stood on the leeward side of
Inc tower, Wallace was now shivering
and his teeth were chattering. He
knew that if he had to stay in that
exposed position until morning he
would be frozen to death.

der his arm all this while and went
through some rapid exercises TO start

stepped out On the balcony. A gust
OF wind slammed the door shut be-
hind him but he thought nothing OF
that. He walked around the balcony
10 the leeward side and stood gazing
out upon the storm wrapped city.
Above him the chime doomed out its
message OF peace and good will to
men.
The boy was fascinated by the SEN
sations that came to him. As the fine
snow strearled past the tower in ali
sorts OF fantastic forms 1t seemed as
If it were the tower that was moving
through the storm like an airshlp.
Wallace had never experienced an ef

it was intensified by the booming bells
above him. which filled the air with
strange vibrations. He was In sort of
davdream in which he imagined him
self an aviator soaring through the
blizzard above the city.
He was brought to himself with a
start by the sudden realization that
