AL" Capone would start his fight for
freedom from the stuffy, over
crowded Holmesburg county prison
this week has brought a number of
Chicago gunmen as unwelcome visi-
tors to the city, police revealed to-

Many Of the gunmen are bitter
enemies of the Chicago beer baron,
while others are hts, pals and follow
ers, police say.
Officials fear clashes between the
two factions, and all detectives have
been ordered to be on the lookout for
the visitors. Arrest of any suspects
carrying concealed weapons will re-
suit in their joining the erstwhile
gang leader and his bodyguard,
Frank Rio. in the county prison, po.
lice assert.
Efforts to free Capone are due to
be launched this week. The first
step, it is believed, will be to ask
that Capone be brought into court
on a writ of habeas corpus.
Once there. attorneys will argue
for reconsideration of his sentence

Defense Gains Victory;
Fuller Might Testify

Especial to the Daily Worker
BOSTON, Jan. 22.-The defense
in the criminal libel trial of Harry
J. Cantor, local Communist leader,
which was scheduled to open today,
gained an important victory when
it forced the prosecution to compel
Ex-Governor Fuller to testify by
taking the case temporarily off the
trial list on the ground that ex-
Governor Fuller must be present at
this time as material witness.
This reverses the original decision
of Justice Walter P. Hall, of Su-
perior Court, made yesterday, deny
ing an appeal for writ of contin-
uance. The prosecution is thus
foiled in it's attempt to shield Fuller
and prevent him from being grilled
on the witness stand as to his part
in the murder of Sacco and Van
zetti.
The attempt to railroad Cantor
to long prison term has stirred
wide resentment among the work
