Martin Durkin, most desperate bad man that the "capital of crime" has produced in recent years, captured in St. Louis last week, and awaiting trial for murder, laughed at the law and predicted he would go free. "Die on the gallows ? That's a laugh. . A good alibi, a clever lawyer â€" Clarence Darrow, maybe â€" and shucks, its a cinch." That's how much Marty Dur- kin fears the law in Illinois. And after the Loeb-Leopold case, who murdered a boy. "just for fun" : and many other notorious ones, who all escaped the gallows, the rest of [ the world thinks about the same as Durkin, as regards law enforcement in Illinois. 31SJ3ISiSIS!SI50l5i5iSISiSIS15l5iSlil PURITV FLOUR -^lor all your bakjn^ ^ The People's Grocery Kennedy's for Groceries 8 tins Pork & Beans $1.80 20 bars I.aundrv Soap $1.00 14 lbs.
