CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-A formal
charge of murder today blocked the
efforts of Vaudeville w. Zenge, 20
year-old Tilted lover and accused
mutilation slayer of his rival, to OBJ
tain freedom on a writ Of habeas
corpus.
The defiant Missouri farm youth,
resisting all efforts to wiring con-
fession from him, appeared in Judge
John Lewe's Criminal Court for the
habeas corpus hearing.
The case was transferred to Chief
Justice Cornelius j. Harrington
when Charles s. Dougherty of the
states attorneys staff said the mar
der charge was being prepared.

of four guards at the prison
in connection with the get
away of Fernekes, bank rob-
Der and murderer.
A. L. Bowen, state director of pub
lie welfare, who scoffed at the in
situations of bribery, went to Chi
cago to confer with Gov. Henry
Horner. The Governor authorized
posting of a $1,000 reward for cap
ture of the diminutive Fernekes,
once known as official bomb
maker" of Chicago gangland.
FernekeS, most notorious of all
convicts at the prison, walked out
of the gates Saturday afternoon dis
guiSed as a private citizen. His
walkout rivaled the wooden gum
getaway of the late John Dillinger
in cleverness.
We are convinced there was no
bribery or collision; only gross
stupidity" said Mr.. Bowen in am
nouncing dismissal of the guards.
Search for Fernekes Immediately
turned to Chicago. where it is be-
lieved he had cached away part of
the 100000 loot he collected dur
ing his career as a bandit.
The diminutive desperate marched
into the interview room, clad in
white shirt and Stacks. He was
wearing dark glasses. He asked to
see a certain prisoner and was in
formed the convict was in the new
prison. He then walked to the outer
door which was politely opened by
another guard, and went calmly to
his freedom unnoticed.

Passenger on Lusitania's Wild
Plunge to Bottom of Ocean
Tells Vivid Story Of Terror

A GRAPHIC tale of the Lusi-
"a tanias sinking is related by
Robert J. Timmis, cotton broker of
Gainesville, Tex, who went down
on the ship and lived to tell the
tale. His memory revived by the
current salvaging operations, Mr..
Timmis related today that within
18 minutes after paying bar bill
he went down with the ship,
bound to the deck by the liners
equipment.
Mr.. Ilmmis had booked first
class passage with an old friend,
Ralph P. Noodle, also of Gaines
vile. To both an Atlantic cross
ing was an old story. They paid
little heed to the warning of the
German admiralty.
At noon on May they went
below decks for a cocktail before
luncheon, flushed from vigorous
session in the ships gymnasium.
No sooner had Mr.. Timmis paid
his bill than the torpedo struck.
n
A CCORDING to Mr.. Timmis
IA there was only one explosion,
and after the Lusitania listed to
starboard, she began slowly to set
tie in the bow. Both he and Mr..
Noodle helped sailors to lower
boats. Some were smashed on the
sides. because of the list.
Both gave their life belts to
women. and it was while fastening
these on that the bow dipped for
the final plunge. Water rushed
along the deck and washed Mr..
Timmis under some superstructure
as the ship went down
Down we went" he says, how

how it happened, but my theory is

MR.. TIMMIS found passengers
WI struggling in the water all
about him, but he was chiefly in

His search was unsuccessful.
Those holding to wreckage pro-
tected their Ravens with ferocity,

According to Mr.. Timmis two

the lifeboats. Finally they were
pulled aboard. but this boat was
collapsible and quickly sank.
Once again the men were in the
sea and swimming toward land,
but the first officer Of the LuSl-
tania found them in another boat,
and this time they were trans
ferred to a trawler which got
them to Queenstown at 10 25 .. m.

this, Mr.. Wood, but you seem to be
the only man of importance who has
direct dealings with the Chinese ele-
ment."
Don't think of 1t as q bother. I'm
flattered to feel 1 might be Of some
service, though I'm afraid I've already
given Chief Howes any information
have that might prove Of value"
A telephone rang and Wood rose,
excusing himself. Seaver waited. The
voice that came over the wire seemed
to give the little man start. He lis
tened a minute, then said: What?
WHAT" And clicked the hook rapidly.
But the man who called had appar-
emily left the phone.
Wood hesitated a moment, standing
near the telephone table. Suddenly he
seemed to remember his guest, and
smiled. Excuse me, Just a moment"
he said, and started for . door lead
ing into an adjoining room.
The moment the door was closed,
Seaver rose and crossed to a radio
which occupied prominent place
against the wall. He pushed over the
switch and idly turned the dials.
Presently the door opened and Allyn
Wood came into the room again.
There was a puzzled expression on his
face, an expression that turned to
astonishment when he saw that Seaver
held blue automatic in his hand.
"All right" said Seaver mildly. Get
your hat, and come along. The chief
wants to ask you few questions"
Chief Howes looked up In amaze
ment when, Is minutes later, Paxton
herded his prisoner into the ONCE.
Seaver grinned.
We'll, here's your man. chief And
guess I've got the evidence you
need"
Even then, Howes was skeptical, but
he was also eager to be convinced.
The possession of evidence to convict
Allyn Wood was just then the thing
he wanted most.
1T turned out q lot easier than
expected" Paxton began q few min
utes later. First went down to Nor
cross street and learned that the bar
keepers name was Gus. Then I
phoned one Of my men and told him
to call Allyn in 10 minutes. He was
to say only: This is Gus. Hells to
pay, and the old man wants you to
call the joint at once Then he hung
up. Wood was curious, perhaps q lit
tie suspicious, but he couldn't afford
to take a chance. So he went into

Seaver grinned. "By turning on the

are used near a radio you can always

Now If the spring on the phone Is at

can tell what number Ii being called.
Now, then, the number that Wood
