Athens, March 17.-(ReSamuel In.
gull, willy fugitive from United States
juttce, was returned to Greek sur
VIGILANCE Saturday only to receive
orders that he had to leave
again within "a hours-and that he
could depart on the same ship by
which he eluded Greek authorities.
Authorities said that 1t was 100 to I
that he would.
Indications were that Mrs. insult.
who met her husband at the pier,
would accompany him when he de-
parted on his modern odyssey.
Mrs. insult was only one Of the
throng Of spectators who watched the
freighter MaiotiS return to port at
7:15 p. m. d:15 p. M. Z. 8. To from
her 75-hour cruise in the Mediter-
ranean.
Apparently the cruise was to be re-
peated and there were no fresh indi-
cations as to where insult would head
on his forthcoming flight.
It was apparent. however, that
United States authorities were not to
have any part in the arrangements.
It was said that process servers were
In attendance but there was no indi-
cation that any American warrants
were being served.
Fugitive Fails to Appear
insult himself did not appear on the
deck Of the ship, but it had been
learned previously that the master OF
the ship, obeying official government
instructions to the letter, had brought
insult back alive.
It was told that he had personally
administered hypodernfics to the "A
year-old former utilities operator in
an effort to counterfeit the weakness
resulting from sudden hunger strike
which 1t was said insult had under
taken as a protest against being
forced to return to Greece.
Apparently the "strike" was deter
mined upon In final desperate effort
to stave off extradition and trial as
the vessel bore him slowly nearer
Athens and the grasp OF United States
officials.
Before reports Of the hunger strike
were received rumors spread about
Athens Saturday that the "old fox"
as insult has become known to Athen-
ians. might have worked another dis
appearing trick by vanishing from
the vessel upon which officials found
him Friday.
There was nothing to warrant such
= supposition. however, except the
reputation with which insult has been
vested In the popular mind during
the II months In Greece In which he
successfully defeated American at
tempts to extradite him to Chicago,
where he is wanted on charges grow
ing out Of the collapse Of his once
vast utilities empire.
Captain Made Responsible
These rumors largely we're dis
counted because Of the fact that the
government had placed full respon-
sjbility for insults return and de-
livery alive upon the captain Of the
freighter.
The minister Of marine placed the
responsibility squarely up to the
ships master after the latter had
radioed that he feared insult might
attempt suicide. It was this off,
c.al whose wireless search resulted In
the detection Of the fugitive and It
was ct his order that the vessel halt
ed in its dash for Egypt and turned
about.
While, In the larger sense. insult
was ordered returned because the
Greek government was chagrined and
offended by the manner Of his secret
flight under the very noses Of the
authorities, the legal position Is that
the government Is technically charg-
Ing him with violation Of rules ap-
plicable to all aliens in that his pa
pers were not properly stamped.
Earlier, It had been Indicated that
Greece would Immediately turn him
over to American authorities. Sat-
urday. however, there was reported
to be q divergence between police and
government officials on the question
Of expulsion.
Lacked Travel Papers
insult had no travel documents and
hence was liable to arrest on sight
ct any point. Greek officials had
been unable to obtain Z visa for him,
but nevertheless had insisted the or
der that he leave by midnight March
j would be carried out.
After insult, slipping from the
Athens house In which he was report
ed III Of heart disease, sailed On the
4aiotis-at . reported cost Of $4,000
