Hickman paid no attention to
the threat. 1t was inconceiv-

fire trap, where so many chill

had left home at 9 p. m.
At $40 in the morning, his
foreman, George Bradfield,
came up to him.. laid sympa-

and told him:

''I'm 40 years DID," Hickman
exclaimed, land l never been

FRANTIC with fear for his
family, Hickman went into the
Loop, SO upset that he lost his
way on the familiar streets. At
length he gave up trying to find
the police station and hurried
instead to his home.
He ran all the way from
Roosevelt rd., where he had
left the street car. At the cor

AS he concluded. his story,
Hickman held his hands, over
his eyes. He appeared on the
point of collapse.
"I'm all right" he said when

could not fight alone, but he.
also knew that he had friends

AND Vice President George
