big TINS FRIEND
MAKES HIS ESCAPE
C0-Defendant in Mail Robbery
Eyades Marshal in
Elevator.

CHICAGO. July 12.-"Big Tins
power is not dead yet" was the
comment today when Peter Gusen-
berg, the man the government
counted upon as its star witness
mysteriously escaped from a deputy
United States marshal, in the Fed
erald Building.
Big Tim" Murphy, alleged brains
of the S36o.0o0 Dearborn street mail
robbery, had just been arraigned be-
fore Judge Landis. Gusenberg was
a co-defendant, one of The ceven men
der $4,000 bond. The cases had
been set for hearing in September.
All the others, except Murphy, were
to be taken to the eighth floor of the
Federal Building and then to Jail to
await trial. A deputy marshal put
them in an elevator, already badly
crowded. and rode to the eighth
floor. where he placed them in cells
to await the arrival of patrol wa
gons to transfer them to Jail.
Half an hour later GusenberG's
escape became known when his at
torney arrived to consult with him
The cells were searched, but no trace
of him was found.
The courtroom was crowder with
Murphy's friends and many of them
were lettering in the corridors and
others, presumably. were on the eIe-
TatOrs. 1t is believed Gusenberg
slipped out of the elevator on the
seventh floor. having traded hats
with one Of Murphy's lieutenants,
and thus escaped from the building

President Harding's action has al

WILLIAM WEST DIED
LAST THURSDAY AT
MARSHFIELD HOSPITAL

William West of Marshfield died
last Thursday at the hospital in that
city where he was being held for treat
ment of gunshot wound. West, in
company with John Hill, also of
Marshfield, attempted to hold up and
rob the store and saloon of Frank j..
Huetter in Manville, on the evening of
Thursday, November 8. Huetter was
behind the bar when the men entered
masked and armed.
He was ordered to turn over money
that he was counting but as he did so
he seized a revolver from under the
bar and began shooting. Hill was shot
in the chest and fell to the floor West
fired several times before one bullet
passed through his arm and lodged in
his spine. Hill jumped to his feet and
ran to the West home, distance of
four miles, and he was soon after APP
pretended by the officers. West was
apparently paralyzed and was taken
to the hospital by the Marshfield Of
ficers. District Attorney George j.
Leicht and Sheriff F. E. Schroeder
were called to Manville and took charge
of the case.
Upon receiving word of Vests
death, Coroner VIM. c. Meilahn, with
Mr. Leicht, Sheriff Schroeder and Re-
porter r. E. Hochtrit proceeded to
Marshfield to hold an inquest. The
coroner's jury, after an exhaustive in
vestigation, found that the deceased
came to his death through a shot fired
by Frank Huetter, and also that Mr.
Huetter did the shooting to save his
own life. Hill, Vests companion, is
recovering.

New Kind of Clock.

A clock recently invented In Eng
land has some novel features. One or
these is that the weight Of the clock
itself is the moving force which actu-
ntes the mechanism, the clock sliding
down two vertical pillars; to vino
It. Therefore, all that is necessary Is
to push the clock up to the top again.
One advantage attaching TO this sys-
tenn, in addition 10 its simplicity and
the absence of KEYS. is that the need
for winding is visible at glance;
hence this necessary operation Is not
likely to be overlooked.
