BAILLE FEARS
! NEW WARRANT
Zion Cop, Wanted Here,
Reported to be in Spring
field Again.
ATTORNEY GOES TOO

81 Elmer L. Baltic, the Zion City speed
cop, who successfully fought extradi-
ton proceedings to bring him to he
nosha to face charges Of kidnapping and
malicious destruction of property
brought by Henry H. Shufeldt, OF Mill
4. waukee, as the result of an episode
which occurred on the Sheridan road
lust north of the state line, may face
new warrant according to reports
prevalent in Waukegan today.
It was learned at Waukegan through
friends of Attorney J. A. Miller, who
was counsel for Baltic in the former
action for extradition, that the attor-
ney and Baillie had hurried to Spring
field on Monday. Their mission, it
was stated, was to halt any new pro-
j, ceeding through any legal phase which
lHtmight be put into use.
Expected New Warrant.
va At the time that Baltic was re-
leased in Judge Harry Fishers court
= in Chicago, it was stated that Shu-
{. feldt would not drop the case and that
new warrant would be secured as
soon as possible. No announcement
has been made regarding this warrant
but it is presumed that the legal battle
has been renewed in Wisconsin and
that new warrant has been taken out
here seeking extradition of Baltic.
The same charges could be used in
n second warrant, as Baltic never
stood trial for the alleged violation of
the law, but simply fought off coming
to trial successfully. The first war
rant was obtained in Kenosha making
anv trial that would be held a Wis
consin action. Governor Len Small
granted extradition papers to produce
Baltic for trial in Kenosha, but the
policeman, through Attorney Miller,
srtappealed, and the matter went before
-rJudge Fisher, who, as has been men
afioned, ruled in favor of the Zion man.
- The alleged violations occurred sew
eral months ago, when Shufeldt was
passing through Zion on his way to
Kenosha. He was speeding, going
sixty miles an hour, according to
.,Baillie, and refused to halt until he
.sscrossed the Wisconsin line.
shufeldt declared that Baltic pur-
sued him in an automobile and that
he kept ahead of him because he
thought that it was bandit car. Just
across the state line, Baillie darted
in front of Shufeldt, forcing him off
the road and forcing him to halt.
Forced Back to Zion.
Baltic then jumped from his car,
according to Shufeldt, and ordered the
latter to return to Zion. When Shu-
tofeldt refused, Baltic drew his gun
sland methodically shot a hole in each
of the tires of the Milwaukee mans
car. He then forced Shufeldt to re-
turn to Zion, according to the lat
ter's story.
The motorist was hailed before JUS
tice Joseph Bishop of Zion, fined $3.50
and costs and put under $4,000 bonds
to the grand jury for investigation of
a charge Of resisting arrest.
-.i Meanwhile it is known that Over
seer Voliva of Zion has been most
anxious to get the suit settled and
, has sent emissaries. to Shufeldts' at
torneys to make settlement of the
case. All of these offers have been
met with the response that the only
legal way to handle the case is to turn
Baltic over to Kenosha county authori-
ties to face the charge and let the
courts decide the case on its merits.
