Frank's attorneys claim that if Judge Newman should deny thc writ Frank could appeal to the TaVed States supreme court and* that the State would havo si;.Ular recourse if the writ were granted. The petition recites that n '.boisterous crowd" sur rounded the court hoiiBe during Frank's trial and that whenever the "State scored a point the crowd out side 'checrod and shouted, while those in tho court room applauded in a man. ner audible both to the eourt and the jury." "The excitement within and with out the court room on August 23, 1913," the petition adds, "was so ap parent as to cauce apprehension in the mind of the court as to whether tho trial could be fa fol y continued that day. and before deciding upon an adjournment the presiding judge, li S.

I NEW YOF'K, Dec. 17-Six trained liona cecaped from their cage on thc ? stage of an Ka st Eighty Sixth street ( theatre todav and bounding into t,lie , audience, constating principally of wo- . men and children, created a panic. One lioness, Alice, largest of the . pack, escaped into a crowded street. Policemen pursued her into the hall- ! ' way of an apartment house and in ' shooting at her, probably fatally wounded Sergeant Daniel Glenn. Two j other offlcera were allghtly wounded by the clawa of the beast in a battle at close range. At sight of the Ilona, hundreds 'of persons in the theatre fled, screaming, i1 to the exits. Scores fainted and many ' sat transfixed in their seats. None of the beasts' except Alice dis-1 played great ferocity. .A few persona 1 who got tn their paths were scratched, ;1 but none was seriously hurt. |1 Five of tbe an?mala wei? still at < large in the theatre when the last of 1 the audience escaped. In their rush | to safety, spectatora left behind all i aorta of personal belongings. Mean- , time the beaata roamed over the house ' from gallery to basement. An hour af- : ter the laat spectators left, they were i rounded up in the lobby and driven : into their shipping box, all' of them I uninjured. Three arrests were made in charges of criminal negligence. Those In custody are LaBellc Andree, the lions' trainer; C. A. Turnv ulst. their keep er, and George ll. Ha.Mlton, manager of the attraction. The llvns were own- j ed by Francis Fer ari, a showman. j The animal act had been finished ' and a song and danoo quartette held the stage in front the first drop when the .Ilona about to -be transferred , from the steel exhibition cage to their shipping box, eacsped. Andree scream? ed and Turnqulst. cracking a whip, loudly shouted at his charges. Fright ened actors, actresses and theatre at' taches began climbing stairways. Sud denly one of the Ilona walked Into tho wings and pee- od at the quartette. The singing ceased abruptly. As tee singers started to retreat De tective Peter Cahill, ?ho waa la the audience, saw the lion and shouted to the entertainers to go on. One singer j returned and began a solo. ' Soddenly a Hon carno Into full stow and all con trol of the audience was lost The first lion ambled upon the stage; 'heatre Stage i the Play House Fled, ts, While Scores Fainted xed in Their Seats--One ly Injured in the Fierce nd Beast. . then came a second, und in a minute moro six were clambering into stage boxes and out into the audience. Tho 3rchestra kept playing until the lions ?ame down into the pit. Then thc musicians tied under the stage. Almos: everybody in the audience liad a different version of what the animals did after they got among the crowd, bot nearly all accounts agree that they did not live up to the dan gerous name of the "king of beasts." One caught up with Mark McDermott while he was hurrying down ap aisle, so he lay down. The animal clawed him on the head and his wouu?' ap peared to be the most dangerous that my ot the beasts Inflicted He. was taken to a hospital. The last of the audience to leave the theatre were several women who, cooped up in a second floor dressing . room, signalled firemen from a nearby engine house and were carried down ladders. A throng had gathered outside the , theatre when Alice emerged, trotted to % street corner and calmly sat down. T*he crowd began to shout and ten po- ? licemen with revolvere drawn came rushing across the street toward her. , She turned and fled Into an apartment house. Abraham Glaser, a photographer, waa working on the Asst floor of the building. He opened the door to In vestigate the noise outside and stared Into the face of the lioness. Slamming the door he shouted for help. The beast turned to a stairway and bounded up a flight. There two wo men peered from a doorway, aaw the animal, shrieked and slammed the door. Alice fled to the third floor, where the police found her seeking egress to the roof. For moro than ten minutes there waged in the narrow hallway a fierce battle between man abd beast. Thirty shots were 'fired into the now enraged lioness. Up and down tho stairway abo raced, snarling and striking at her as sailants. Finally the leaden hall from the policemen's pistols ended the bat tle. It wa? while the firing was nt its height that Glenn waa shot through the back. It was thought tonight he j would die. , Edward K. Keaveoy and J James M. Craig, patrolmen, were J clawed hy the lion. Koareny was takon to a hospital. idience Creates Panic NOT FATHERED BY ADMINISTRATION Bu? lo Piohibit Export of Muni tions of War and War Supplies to Belligerent Cou???r?e?. (By Auoriate<l IVess.)
