BANDIT POSES FOR NEWS CAMERA MEN ‘Smilingly Grants Their Requests for His Photograph Hartford, March 25.—Gerald €hapman today stepped away from the background of mystery that has contributed so largely to his role of super bad man, jail breaker and mail looter and became a smiling and obliging human being. For the first time since he achleved his nation-wide notoriety, the 20th century Jesse James con- sented to pose for the horde of newspaper photographers and mo- tion picture camera men who have been haunting the court house for days seeking through every wile to attain their object—the photograph- ing of the most talked-of criminal of the century. During the lunch hour recess to- day, Chapman, elegant and affable, walked into a chamber off the court room where he is on trlal for his life.. A crew of watchful guards fol- lowed him, but he was not manacled —_the first time he has been out of I the courtroom since his trial opened without being “ironed”. lanked by his two chief counsel, Frederick J. Groehl and Nathan O. Freedman, the dreaded debonair criminal seated himeeit before & battery of cameras and excited gesticulating photographers. They snapped away. They asked for a new pose. He smilingly ac- quisced, There was more snapping as Chapman went through the “bluff” | of engaging in “small talk” with his | lawyers. Patlently he changed his position time and agaln at the urg- ing of the eager photographers. He did not complain—he smiled weari-| ly once—but was withal human and companionable. Then he went through the same antics for the benefit of the movie men, Again he smiled and talked and posed. The double ordeal returned, again manacled cell. He was still smiling.

The attorney, who did not reveal his name, said Justice Tompkins was too busy with judicial matters at White Plains, N. Y. to make a personal plea of gullty “What did the justice say when you halted him?" the magistrate asked Motorcycleman Jarczynski. “He said his speelometer was broken, but he was traveling only about 14 miles an hour,” Jarczynski testified. “But he was going 38 miles, and on Broadway, too.” Justice Tompkins presided at the trial and conviction of Willlam H. Anderson, former state superintend- ent of the Anti-Saloon league. ’ | | | | | o et — CHARTER CHANGE LILLIAN BROWN GAUGH?
