By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, June 20.—“Scar- face Al” Caponé, Chicago gang leader, today lost his first skirmish for freedom | since he was sent to the county prison for one year for carrying a loaded pistol. After a long argument and the hear- ing of witnesses, Judge John E. Walsh of the Municipal Court, who sentenced Capone and his bodyguard, Frank Cline, refused to grant an application for a | writ of error seeking the release of the leader of Chicago'’s gangland. Immediately after the court an- | nounced its action, Representative Ben- jamin M. Golder of counsel for Capone, took an appeal to the State Superior Court. He failed in his search lor a judge to admit Capone to bail pending the appeal, and will make the request probably Monday. When Golder made an appeal to Judge Walsh to admit Capone to bail, the judge smiled and sald “You know T'll never agree to any- like that.” ugh Cline was sentenced to a ynt at the same time, today’s effort to free Capone did not inelude his body- guard. By direction of Judge Walsh, Capone aulrdcd heavily by police and detec- ves. The application for the writ of error | was based on allegations that Capone, who was arrested May 16 and sentenced the next day, was “railroaded” to jail. It was charged that the police magis- trate, who held him after the arrest, was prejudiced, and that the atmos- phere of the courtroom was hostile to the defendant. ASKS REINSTATEMENT.
