ANOTHER DELAY
in BAILE CASE
BaiIie Pleads Guilty -
Sentence Will be Passed
Wednesday.
MACINTOSH IS READY
BaiI;e Finds He Hasn't Enough
Mercy to Cover COunty's
Court Costs.

Just when it was believed that the
last move in the year-old fight be-
tween Ebert L. Bailie and the county
of Kenosha was about to be made in
the municipal court here, another
spoke was pulled out Of line in the
wheel and another delay was called
The case will not come up until next
Wednesday afternoon at which time
Judge John Slater declared he was
ready to pass sentence. When Bailie's
attorney asked the district attorney
for an indication of the approximate
amount of the costs involved in the
county's prosecution of the case, the
attorney declared that he could not
possibly place his client before the
Judge since they did not have enough
money with them. After a conference
in which the district attorney, the
judge and William Herr, Bailie's at
torney, Joined in, it was agreed that
the case should be left over until next
Wednesday.
Bailie presented himself before
Judge John Slater with a request to
change his plea from that of not gull
ty - the plea entered when Bailie was
first arraigned two weeks ago - to
Shat of guilty. Bailie was represented
in court by his attorney, who also
appeared on his behalf on other oc-
casions both here and in Lansing
Mich, when extradition hearings were
held before the attorney general OF
Michigan.
Requests to Plead Guilty.
On his plea of guilty Judge Slater
ordered the defendant bound over for
trial in the next term of the NUM-
cipal court on the sa e bonds on
which he is now at liberty. The
formal request for a change of plea
was then made in motion by Babies
attorney and District Attorney Lewis
w. Powell then signed papers for a
quest to plead guilty to the charge
Under those circumstances Bailie was
placed under the jurisdiction OF
Judge Slater.
In an interview with Bailie's attor-
ney, a reporter for the Evening News
was told that Bailie had completed q
satisfactory settlement of the civil
suit in which he is named defendant
by Henry Shufeldt, Milwaukeean, who
brought the original action charging
Battle with malicious destruction of
property, The attorney declared that
the settlement was Sin the neighbor-
hood of $780,"
Riebard P. Cavanagh, attorney for
Shufeldt here, appeared on behalf of
Shufeldt in court. He refused to af-
firm or deny any statement about the
settlement of the civil suit. It was
generally understood that Shufeldt
had a bill to present which would run
into several Thousand dollars.
Macintosh Ready to Plead.
Joshua Macintosh, held with Bailie
on $1,000 bonds charged with aiding
and abetting Battle in the destruction
of the tires on Shufeldt's car at the
time Of the latter's arrest last October
appeared in court this afternoon with
Baltic. He was represented also by
Attorney Herr. Herr refused to say
what Macintosh's plea would be before
the judge. His case was due TO come
up at the same time. Macintosh will
appear with 'Bailie next Wednesday.
Bailie's attorney also declared that
there was no basis of truth to the
statement that Bailie's bonds Of $500
in the Michigan extradition hearing
were forfeited. He declared that he
himself had given the judge at Lans-
ing information that the habeas corpus
hearing would be dismissed because
Bailie had voluntarily given himself
up to the Kenosha county authorities
