er; Will Not Live Long.

Aurora, ILL.,, Dec. 27.-Jacob
Klein, 81, the millionaire deputy
sheriff Of Dupage county, who was
sentenced to not less than IA yeaI S
in the penitentiary" for the murder
or Leo Neumann, Chicago motor
list, in September, 1921, was taken
to the Joliet prison today on a
stretcher in an automobile ambu-
lance.
The drive from Mr.. KleinS no !,
In Hinsdale to Joliet, swas about
twenty-five miles and was made at
a slow speed because OF Mr.. Klein's
enfeebleu condition. He has GIRO
posts of the liver and is not ex-
pected to live long. He has been
unable to eat for 10 days. =
Sheriff kestermann OF DuPage
county and DR.. NJ. L. NICELY accom-
panied Klein to prison. He has
been at liberty unGer $4,000. bond
bail, some of the grand Jurors who
lndlct1ng him being on his bond.
The prosecution and conviction of
Klein aroused wide interest by rea-
son OF the fact that he was a vol
unteer officer and one of the
wealthiest men in DuPage county.
Mr.. Klein shot MIR. Neumann
when the latter failed to heed his
order TO stop his automobile while
on the way to Chicago with his
wife and little girl and a married
couple who had accompanied them
to the country to buy some eggs.
k!ein's defense was that he shot in
the air to frighten Neumanri. who
was speeding. The bullet went
through the back of the machine
and striking Neumann near the
spine, caused his death. BY some
freak of fate, persons who sat in
the back seat of the car were not
touched by the death-,ealing mis-
sile.
Klein commended at his trial that
he would not have fred at the ma
chine except that it ran on for some
distance after he had cried halt"
and started up hill, which brought
it in line of fire. The point. made
by the prosecution, however. was
that the automobile could not have ,
been speeding as not one of the
dozens of eggs in a great basket
had been broken and the machine
had travelled over miles of rough
roads.
Neumann's wife and others N tie /
machine also testified that tie car
was going at moderate speed and
that Mr.. Neumann meant to sion
his car Immediately after he had
been called upon to halt.
