36O GANGSTERS
 KILLED IN 4 YEARS
Yet in Chicago Their Numbers
 Increase

Chicago, Aug. 13 If ceme- tery had been set aside four years ago for gangsters it would by this time be in a flourishing condition. Chief of Police Collins has been go- ing over his statistics and is puzzled. More than 200 gangsters are dead as the results of feuds. Also the polce have killed 1so during the four years. Forty-two gangsters are dead since Jan. 1, shot down in feuds. The killings in the suburbs lift the figures to '54 dead men since Jan 1. Chief Collins finds that dur ing the last year his police have killed 50 gangsters. This list is out side of the family gang killings.
 Yet with this extraordinary death rate, gangsters seem to spring up ready to be cut down. That is what puzzles the chief. They seem to thrive on death.
 "The police can do nothing to stop gang killings" said the chief. They are beyond protection by police.
 "The gangsters have an organiza- ton of their own. There was time when they had the city divided into territories and each faction respect ed territorial rights. That was be- fore the days of hijacking.
 Nowadays they are all over the city. and when they want something they take 1t. When their demands are refused they back them up with revolvers or shotguns.
 If gangsters will each other, we don't care very much. Of course we to find the guilty parties and when arrested we try and hang them. But the task is hard"

Deputy States Attorney Roland J. Adams, of Baltimore, two Balti- more newspapermen and repre- sentative of a Boston newspaper who guided the visitors to Beverly Farms.
 After conference, which lasted more than an hour. Justice Holmes made the following statement:
 T declined to allow a writ of error on the ground that the err TOTS complained of do not go to the Jurisdiction of the local court. and therefore cannot be made the foundation of a writ of habeas corpus, and further that there does not appear to have been any de- nial of constitutional right"
 The conference took place In the living room of the Holmes estate, with the bandits lawyer standing before a maple fireplace, in mak- ing his final plea for the young gang leader. He claimed that the constitutional rights of his client had been violated because of the failure of the local court to in- struct the jury and bind the jury to return a verdict according to these instructions.
 Deputy Adams reviewed the his tory of the case and objected in behalf of the state of Maryland to the issuance of a writ.
 Both men came from Baltimore last night, Adams making his de- cision after he learned that the Negro attorney planned to carry his fight for the life of his client to the highest court.

to be Arthur Vectis Freeman, and
