WIFE DEFIE FOR HUSBAND "K W ICE; STATION IN II Babe's First (Santa Claus), So Mother Gave “Hubby” Saws for Jail Escape. Imprisonment, freedom on bond, and the care of a tiny baby boy all failed to kep Mrs. W. E. Manley, 18 years old, from her imprisoned hus band's side, as he awaited Monday morning his hearing before Recorder Broyles on a charge of passing bad checks. Mrs. Manley arrived at the police station very early with the baby. She also is to stand trial, accused ot smuggling metal saws and a file to her husband, to enable him to escape, so he could play Santa Claus for our little son, on his first Christmas." The young wife explained this through her tears as she was arrested Sunday afternoon at their home, No. 127 Gapitol avenue. Husband Held in $1,000 Bond. Mrs. Manley was freed on a bond f $100.75, furnished by a professional bondsman. After the Jall-breaklng utensils were found on the person ot her husband, his bond was raised to 51,000. and he was held in Jail. Manley was arrested Saturday, and his wife followed him to headquar ters, and seated herself outside the cell door. ‘It seems like a shame Jack can’t be at home the first Christmas of his little son," she said, but nobody thought she intended to rescue her husband. All afternoon Mrs. Manley, holding the baby, sat in an armchair outside Manley’s cell. Shortly after midnight she left the baby with a turnkey, say ing she was going to get her husband eomethlng to eat. She returned with quite a packet, which was passed in to Manley without remark. Then the wife went away. Prisoner Sounded Alarm. There Is no telling what might have happened had not Homer Leathers, another prisoner, suddenly started an alarm that he had been robbed Ot 569. Assistant Chief Jett ordered Ward No. 2 to be cleared and the in mates searched. Inside Manley’s shirt were found two small, fine saws and I a file, with the customary cake of soap for lubricating the work in metal. Manley maintained that he had the tools when he was arrested, but his wife owned up Sunday that she had tried to help him break jail so he could be at home for Christmas. Early Monday morning the wife was back at her post, waiting to see her -usband. Owing to her former at tempt, she was not permitted to go into the cell room, but sat quietly in the turnkey’s office, holding her baby, waiting patiently for the case to be 'ailed in the Recorder’s Court. Manley and his wife w’ere both bound over to the higher courts by Judge Broyles in $500 bonds. Judge Broyles, expressing amazement at the smuggling of the saws into the police station, said that if the police didn’t v atch out somebody would be blow ing the place up.

HILLIARD Noted Actor Faces Arrest in New Orleans Because of Woman Traveling With Company. NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 22.—Robert Hilliard, the actor, who is appearing | here in "The Argyle Case,’’ w-ts brought face to face with a charge of white slavery as a result of his friendly interest in Mrs. OlgA Wil liams, a wealthy Philadelphia di vorcee. who traveled South with the company. The charge was hinted at by Judge M. L. Lazarus, counsel for William Page, formerly valet for Hilliard. Page has sued the actor for $5,000 damages, alleging that he was beaten by the latter. Mrs. Williams was wanted as a witness at Hilliard’s pre liminary hearing, but she was ab sent. Counsel f r the valet tried to bring out the fact that Mrs. Williams was in the actor’s dressing room Tuesday night when he assaulted Page, but members of the company declared Mrs. Williams was not in the room at the time. Finally Hilliard rose impa tiently to his feet. "If your honor will permit." he said. "I will clear up this matter very soon Mrs. Williams left the jurisdiction of this court when she learned that she might become involved in this trial. I advised her to do so. She is a re spectable woman. She wanted to take a trip to the South during the cold weather; my company was going the same way. "She is properly chaperoned by Miss Everett. I suppose," he added, "white slave charges will be brought against me next." "That is possible,” said Judge Laza rus, addressing the court. "Page, the valet, kept Mr. Hilliard’s accounts. He can show that Hilliard paid Mrs. Williams’ railroad fare and that she reimbursed him with checks. The fact that she paid him back with checks would be considered an eva sion before the law. I have not taken any steps toward making white slave charges against Mr. Hilliard. This matter rests with the District Attor ney."
