NO CONVICTION.
IN HARB0RINC
ALVIN KARPS
Judge Declares Day Not
Here When Suspicion
Means Conviction

MIAMI, Fla, June II. (UP)-
Federal Judge Alexander Aker-
man directed surprise verdict of
acquittal yesterday for Joe H.
Adams and Hendry (Duke) Ran
dali, who were charged with har.
barring Alvin Karpis, imprisoned
public enemy. ,
The Tampa jurist, who presided
here in the absence of Judge John
w. Holland, said although there
was no doubt from the evidence
that the defendants KEW Karpis
was a fugitive and aided him, the
government failed to show they
knew there was a bench warrant
for his arrest.
"The crux of the question"
Judge Alderman said, "is whether
they had knowledge and notice
of the federal bench warrant is
sued May a, 1884 in st. Paul for
Karpis charging him with the kid.
MAPPING of Edward G. Bremen"
"There is nothing from which
these men (the jury) could infer
thew (the defendants) knew Kar'
PTS was a crook. In the opinion
of the court this case falls dowr
on failure to show these men knew
the man they were dealing witt
was Karpis," he said.
1--WE haven't reached the poin,
where a jury can convict men or
suspicion. We have nothing but
suspicious circumstances. They
are very suspicious. but you cam
convict on suspicion" the judge
pointed out.
Judge Akerman's decision came
unexpectedly shortly after Specia
Assistant Attorney General Chas
H. Carr completed the govern
ment's case and after a defense
motion to dismiss the indictments
had been denied.

Tear Each Others Cloth

PARIS, June 11.-(UP)-Two
hundred women employees Of a
factory in Thumeries near Lille
were reported today to have been
seized suddenly with fainting and
hysteria attacks.
Doctors were unable to explain
the incident except as an incom-
prehensible collective psychopath-
illogical attack.
The mass seizure began after
one woman fell unconscious. 9th
ers rushed to her aid but as soon
as they reached her, they began
TO shrek and whirl about as
though dizzy. Some tainted, 9TH
ers rolled on the floor.
Pandemonium broke out in the
factory when other women be-
gan going into commissions. They
apparently were affected by see
ing their companions.
Some women attacked others
tearing off clothes, raking faces
with finger nails and keeping up
a continuous shrieking.
Factory doctors raced in,, sus-
pecting gas. They ordered the
plant evacuated Immediately
Men workers were called to get
out those women unaffected.
The symptoms spread among
the women even after their re-
moval, when they saw others
writing as they were carried out
on stretchers. .
Doctors sampled the factory
air and found it normal.
Blood tests were given to the
victims Immediately but they
showed no signs of gas or other
intoxicants.
Doctors declared the symptoms
and after-effects were typically
nervous. They believed it was due

were being heated up and work

GUARDS DECLARE MILL

Guards at the mill said at 9
D. nj. that operations were in full
blast. They said tie number Of
men at work was larger than the
regular night shift, although no
specific count had been made.
At that hour the police were in
complete control of every part Of
the city and expected to maintain
conditions so that the workers can
| come and go on tEeir regular
shifts and not be forced to remain
in the plant.
More than 100 police and depu-
ties still patrolled the riot scene
at 9 D. m. as a safeguard. Depu-
ties were posted at intervals as

Mayberry, the chief c. !. o. Or

to see Mayor Daniel A. knaggs
who said they had cordial talk
and that Mayberrv had been de-
tanned only "for his own protec-
ton" The mayor said Mayberry
had made every effort to let the
returning workers go through the
lines peacefully. The mayor said
it was planned to give Mayberry
protection to the edge of town
some time later so that he could
go to Toledo.
Sheriff Farley said there were
rumors that the pickets would re-
turn, perhaps when the midnight
shift went on.
"If there is any picketing,' he
said, "the men must walk in a cir
Gle and not block the road. II
they try to block the road we will
bring them in"
While police took several per-
sons to the Jail, some for protcc'
ton and some for questioning
only one man was held in jail in
mid-evening. He was William Ba'
logna. 1t was not known immedi'
ately why he was detained OF
whether formal charges would be
placed against him.
Three hours before the battle
three automobile loads Of workers
had tried to crash the picket line
and had been repulsed. In that
