OF BANDIT
Girl, Widowed by Detectives
Shot, is Held Under
$4,000 Bail
BY International News Service.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. b.,-
Active efforts to rehsbilitate Nell
Dawson Wright, bandits widow,
were begun here today after her
two nights and q day in the parish
prison, where she is held on a
charge Of receiving $4,000 of the
loot taken by Handsome Bill
Wright on the morning of Deem
Der "a from a branch of the Ma
rine Bank, which led to the death
Of Patrolman Jacob Uhle.
While the law rested over Sun
day, kind hearts were busy. One
well-known business man went to
the prison late In the afternoon for
a conference with Mrs. Wright,
which may be followed today by an
attempt to raise the $4,000 bail re-
Quired.
Numerous steps are being con-
tenplated, it is understood. She
may be freed on bail and given q
chance to go to work, free from
the notoriety which has chung to
her since her husband died in a
hail of lead when he tried to shoot
his way through Gordon Of Mo-
bile detectives.
She may be asked to plead guilty
to the charge against her and to
accept q sentence which will be held
up on probation. Nell apparently
win not be forced to go back to her
parents in Des Moines. Her chance
will possibly be given her in New
Orleans, where her happiness
bloomed and vanished overnight.

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-That old
stuff about the "cave man" is

that's what Professor George
L. Collie, of Beloit College, said
in an address before the Arch
Biological Institute.
The flapper has pictured the
"cave man" as q big, hairy
chested individual, whose mot
to-. so far as the fairer sex was
concerned, was treat EN-
rough" But the cave man OF
fact, according to Professor
Collie, was not that sort at al:
He was not even a great lover
of the Rudolph Valentino type.
AS a matter Of fact, ne more
nearly resembled a imam mil
liner"
"The idea," said Professor
Collie, shat the cave man

and dragged her to his cave Dy
the hair Of her head is scien-
tifically inexact. The truth 1s'
the cave man Of 5000 years
ago wooed his prospective mate
By stringing beads for her.
