CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-Richard
Henry Lane, S. of Ithaca, N. Y.

John p. Barnes today because a
writ of habeas corpus caught a
speeding train on which Lane was
passenger before it crossed the
Mississippi River.

ago in New Jersey. on an eight-year
old warrant issued in Ventura,
Calf, which charged larceny. Ex-
tradition was granted, and Lane ar
rived in Chicago yesterday In custo-
/ dy Of a Centura officer, Arthur
Waite.
Lane, lodged in county Jail for
safekeeping, felt he was being
wrongfully detained, since he as
serted he already had served eight
months Of sentence for the crime
charged in the warrant. He got in
touch with an attorney.
The lawyer applied to Judge
Barnes for the writ. and when is
sued it enjoined Waite from remov-
ing Lane from the jurisdiction of the
court-which was delimited by the
Mississippi.
Waite, however, had already
boarded a westbound train with his
prisoner and the train was travelling
so miles per hour out of the courts
jurisdiction. The marshal wired the
sheriff at Morrison, SO Waite and
Lane returned to Chicago to appear
before Judge Barnes.

Anyway, I'd been lightly asleep
for about an hour when a glare
awoke me. 1t was f1ashlight, held
very close-a haze OF yellow light
coming through the mosquito net
ting over my face. But in this haze
! could see that the same fist which
held the flashlight also held steel
knife, and that its point stuck down
into the yellow cone Of that flash
light. The other hand was just touch

'The Dutch made us steel tripods
for them in a machine shop, but we
had hell of a time getting anyone
to dig the holes. We were flying
missions and couldn't do it our
selves. So Silva and / took the
Truck and went into Madiun. On
the street corners we saw bunch
of natives standing around picking
their teeth or scratching their bot
toms. We argued they must be Jap
sympathizers, or else they would
have been busy helping win the war.
So we pulled out our ASS, and by a
coincidence they all got into that
truck, and dug us some OF the MIC
est foxholes you ever saw. After
that, when the alarm would 60 OIL
we could run to those foxholes and
swing a gun-we knocked down five
Zeros with them in the short time
we were there.

too. Our tail guns had finally cured
the Japs of making attacks from be-
hind. Now they were coming in at
all directions, hunting for our soft
spots, feeling us out like we were
some dame on sofa, but mostly
they were hitting us head-on, be-
cause they discovered that in the
nose we had only a single little 30
caliber. / guess the designers, aft

figured they could rest on their lau-

Field. We mounted a big .50-caliber
down in the navigator's compart-
ment, rigging it so it would fire out
of the vAntilator. And for good
measure we stuck in another 30
caliber.

this idea at the factory, but the only
way any factory can learn what is
needed is from the combat crews
themselves.

They'd fly their machines dressed
like natives, so If they bailed out
they could just walk away and min
