CHICAGO COURT
ACTS To SPEED
|NSULL CASE
Prosecutors Prepare to Take
Dispositions to Be Sent to
Tribunal in Greece

CHICAGO, Oct. 13 UN.S.)
Laying the groundwork for
their impending mission to
Greece, where they will fight
for extradition of the indicted
Samuel insult, two States at
torney's assistants were ready
to go into criminal court today
to take dispositions.
The assistant prosecutors,
Charles A. Bellows and Andrew
Vlachos. announced that the de-
positions will be taken from wit
nesses whose testimony before
the Cook County Grand Jury re-
suited in the indictment of insult
and his brother, Martin j. In
sull.
Set For Trip Abroad
Bellows and Vlachos were to be
accompanied into Chief Justice
Prystalski's criminal court by AS
sistant States Attorneys John
Hampton, John O'Hara, and
Voyle Johnson, other members of
the special insult staff organized
by States Attorney John A.
Swanson.
The depositions, it was ex-
planned are documents necessary
to the conduct of international
extradition proceedings. Armed
with these dispositions, Bellows
and Vlachos will be ready to de-
part for Athens at any moment.
Swanson named these two as
the emissaries of Illinois in its ef-
forts to bring Samuel insult back
to trial for alleged embezzlement
and larceny in connection with
the crash of his 100000 utili-
ties domain.
Capital Farley Seen
Bellows and Vlachos, it was in
dicated, may leave today, pro-
ceeding first to Washington,
where they would lend their CO.
operation to the State Depart
ment in drawing up the required
papers.
Appointment of VlachoS was
said to have obviated the neces-
Sity of hiring foreign counsel.
A graduate of an Athenian col
lege, Vlachos is versed in Greek
jurisprudence.
Although insult was still at
liberty in Athens, Swanson gave
indication that he does not fear
he will leave Greece. The prose
cutor was gratified over the &C
ton of the State Department in
ordering the American charge
daffaires at Athens to SequeSter
