Compromising With Crime

Yesterday the grand jury in New
York, investigating the restoration to
their owner of jewels worth approx.
mately 100000 recently stolen from
her apartment. voted TO indict the in.
surance conpany's detective. who was
the medium of the recovery from the
thief and the payment of s65 900 for
the Jewels. The detective was merely
the agent Of the insurance company,
but he is the only individual whom the
law can reach. Upon his trial will be
tested the question of whether an
agent can be thus held accounta BILE
for what is undoubtedly technically a
crime, namely, the compounding of a
felony
This accuse tion brings sharply to
public attention the fact that the prac-
tice Of compromising with thieves for
the restoration of property is illegal.
Innumerable instances have occurred

I shows her Il long, lonely road

with never Il house or IA friend to

Eudora Garrett is happy.
For she has turned her back on

Miss Garrett was University or
Texas coed two years ago.
She was versatile, accomplished and
popular. a skilled musician she
played the piano, violin, mandolin
and even the lowly uku!clc to the
delight Of her classmates.
Quits College Life
She wrote for college publications..
and did free lance work for an Austin
newspaper
And then, somehow, she got fed

There were so many thoughts that

So. AL Of sudden, the popular
coed dropped out.
And instead of the university cam
pus, she made her home in Il little
tent on the shore Of Lake Austin.
There she lives, all alone except for
her big dog. Son.
Dressed in corduroy trousers, 70
