have been worn by one of the
Hudsons as he jumped onto

the officers said, when they reach

There was a piece of heavy felt,

The sheriff’s force reported that
the Hudsons had given them con
siderable trouble in recent years.
It was the opinion of the sher

not attached to any organized
flogging band, but were operating
on their own hook.

Wheeler, according to the sher

numerous difficulties. Som^ of
them were taxicab drivers, it was
stated, and one of them killed
another taxicab driver, the sher
iff said.
' Because of the past record of
the .Hudsons, it was -learned at the
sheriff’s office an hour after the
arrests, an investigation is being
made to determine if they are paid
gangstres, receiving a certain
amount of money for each flog
