...jailing followed a frantic day. At 3:30 a. m. a Chicago Assistant State's Attorney had awakened him at his $20-a-week boarding house in Orillia, Ont. and demanded his voluntary return to Chicago. He flatly refused. Next morning he and his loyal friends Mr. & Mrs. William Barker of Highland Park, Ill. who had arrived in their car during the night to be with him, motored to Toronto to see lawyers. A Canadian warrant for his arrest had been issued, he was advised to surrender. At 9:30 p. m. he gave himself up to the Canadian...

S. amateur trophy, ignored five telegrams from the homefolks asking when he would arrive for a public reception. He slipped home quietly to his mother's apartment, went to bed right after dinner.

When asked where his brother was. Samuel Insull, who lives in an expensive ($10 a day) hotel on his $1,500 monthly pension, said he did not know. But the Press located Brother Martin in Anne McLean's Boarding House ($20 a week) in Orillia, Ont., a small town 86 mi. north of Toronto. No sadder birthday has long-nosed Martin Insull had than the one which came last week, his 63rd. He described himself as a "man without a job, without plans, without a future.'' Asked what he did all the time, he replied, "Oh, I take long walks...
