Thomas had heard the evi dence of his main witness, Mrs. Amelia Smollen. of Black Oak. in her charges against Max Drygralski, aged 59. wealthy Chicago undertaker he moved that the case be dismissed. Acting on the motion, Judge Martin Smith threw out of court the liti gation that threatened the fortune, freedom and marital bliss of the wealthy undertaker. It was a story of the Judge and Maud Miller 'brought down to date. Jazzed up a bit and flavored with hard cider. Max Drygalskl rode in a Cadillac Instead of atop a horse, as did the judge, and Mrs. Smollen was the farmer's wife and not his daughter. When the case came to trial this week the barbershops, pool rooms and the town hotel lobby were em ptied of their loafers. They crowd ed into the court room. "He was a Sheik," said Mrs. Smol len, aged 38 and buxom. The Jury leaned forward. Then followed the tale of an amor ous courtship. Max r worked fast, according to his accuser. Smollen and his wife were ten ants on a farm near Black Oak 1 owned by Max. It was Max's cus tom to come out to collect the rent. One afternoon of September 20, Max drove up. parked his automo bile between the pump and the cbic ken coop and walked into the kit chen. "Is your husband home?" he whis pered. No sir, he has gone to town and won't be home until evening.'' said Mrs. Smollen who had always ad mired and trusted the handsome landlord. Then she iCTarr.ed. She saw in Max's eye the Sheik look. He walk ed toward her, showing his teeth. His moustache bristled. His breath ! came in hisses between. He grabbed her hands. He (Deleted) That is the story that Mrs. Smol len told the Jury in support of her charge of criminal attack made up on her by Max. But Max denied that he was a Sheik and Mrs. Drygalskl backed him up in it. Furthermore the defense, represented by Attorneys E. G. Bal lard and A. A. Bremer put about a dozen witnesses on the stand to show that on the day of the alleged assault they gere guests of Max and his wife at their home in Chicago at a wedding anniversar y.

Every possible avenue of escape was being watched this afternoon as all southern California Joined in a gigantic "woman hunt" for n.ir.i Phillips, convicted "Hammer mur - ucresa or Alberta Meadows, who made one of the most sensational and daring escapes from jail on re cord, here early today. Sawing through the steel bars oj. the windows of the womens" de partment of the county jail, the "Tiger" woman is believed to have made her way across adjoining buildings to a ladder, thence to the street and a waiting automobile. AID FROM OUTSIDE Mrs. Phillips was aided by out side persons who propped a ladder against tho walls of an adjoining building so she could descend to I the street. Deputy sheriffs were sent to take into custody Armour L. Phillips, Mrs. Phillip s husband and her two sisters. Etta May and Olva Weaver, and Victoria Cross, her chorus girl chum. Sheriff Traeger ordered that Mrs. Madalynne Obenchain, who was re leased from the county 'jail yes terday, be located and questioned concerning: her action since she left the Jail. COMPLAINED OF ILLNESS Mrs. Phillips is thought to have made her escape some time between 2 a. m. and 7 a. m. this morning. Last night, according to Jail attach es, she complained of being ill and retired to her cell early, request ing that she be not disturbed. At 2 o'clock this morning- Mrs. O. D. Fisher, matron on duty, stopped at tho door of the cell occupied by Mrs. Phillips, but noticed nothing unusual, - When she. ruade the aeaqaUQir alongside the plant and round of the cells st 7 o'clock to summon tha prisoners to breakfast. Mrs. Fisher discovered Mrs. Phil lips' cell empty. Three 6teel bars, each- an Inch thick, had been sawed in two in tha window of Mrs. Phillips ce:i. The bars werj pulled from their places leaving an opening of about two feet square, through which Mrs. Phillips had crawled. FEAT ALMOST MIRACLE With extraordinary strength Mrs Phillips apparently climbed up to the top of the jail building, four stories above the ground. A cordon of polica and deputy sheriffs was flung about the city with lookouts on every possible gateway out of the city. Mrs. Phillips is believed to have had at least an hour's start on her pur suers and several hours start on the general alarm. Information that Mrs. Phillips had escaped was flashed to San Diego and federal authorities at the Inter national border line at Tiajuana were asked to ke-p a sharp lookout for her in event she tried to get across the line into Mexico. Also cities In the interior of California were notified of the Jail break. CLOSE WATCH MADE Railroad stations, steamship docks and stage offices were also being closely watched. Mrs. Phillips' cell was located in the women's quarters at the extreme east end of the top floor of the four story county Jail building and overlooked a small court some sixty feet below and ten fr-et wide. As the investigation of how she made her get-away proceeded it was almost definitely decided by deputy sheriffs that Mrs. Phillips did not leave her cell by the door but escaped by sliding down a rope or drain pipe near her cell window. The theory was also advanced that after sawing the bars of her cell window, shi walked on a narrow plank, stretched from her cell win dow across the court to a nearby building. DROPS SO FEET Mrs. Phillips is then thought to have dropped from the roof of the jail to an adjoining building, a de scent of 20 feet, by sliding down a 'water drain pipe From the roof of the building next to tha jail, which is three stories from the ground, she. is thought to have descended to an alleyway on lad ders placed against the wall by the person or persons who assisted h3r in her dash for freedom. Mrs. Phillips was barefooted when she escaped, as her toe prints were found in the dirt on the roof of the building. In the adjoining cell to Mrs. Phil lips was a negress named Alma ' Smith, who declared she did riot hear Mrs. Phillips leave her cell. 1 The cell on the other sid-1 of the one ' occupied by Mrs. Phillips was em- ; pty, having been deserted by Mrs. ! fall sn four stories below to a con Madalynn Obenchain late yesterday j Crete court and certain death. afternoon. i WAS SCANTILY ATTIRED j Mrs. Phillips was scantily attired in a dark suit when she 1-ft the Jail leaving behind her now-famous : Biege suit and hat. She also left : several other articles of clothing: ; behind in her cell. ! The climb of Mrs. Phillips from her cell window to th ; top of the j whose home Mrs. Obenchain was re jail building was declared to have ! ported to have passed the night, been an acrobatic feat in itself, and appeared at the jail two hours after a test of human strength. Had the escape was discovered and said her gTip on the side of the build- that Mrs. Oberchaln had not been injr once slipped she would have with' her. Hp Seven Pennsylvania railroad stock cars were destroyed by fire on the lead near the Green Engineering Co. plant at East Chicago about 6 o'clock this morning. The loss is estimated at $7,000. With fifty other bad orders the seven flaming cars were separated and pulled to an adjacent siding by a B. & O. C. T. switch engine before further damage was done. The fire Is believed to have been started by a tramp bunking, in one of the cars. Members from Numbers 2 and 3 j fire nSlns unable to get sufficient water be a and used sand to ex- tingulsahe flames.
