The noted plainsman and came colonel BRINGS RECORDS ON BILLINGSLEY COMPROMISE The federal probe into the activities of the Seattle booze ring proceeded from three angles Wednesday. Charles Sullivan, secretary of the police department, appeared before the grand jury with the records of his office. Fred and Ora Billingsley continued stub- born in their refusal, made late Tuesday, to plead guilty to federal conspiracy indict- ments. They acted on the advice of their elder brother, Logan, who has already pleaded guilty on one count. Patrolman C. J. Mullen, released Tues- |day on an uncertified check for $800 in the face of United States District Attorney Allen’s demand for a $3,500 bond, was re- arrested and held in the federal building in lieu of $3,000. Capt.
