DUNLAP AND HOWARD FIGHT REQUISITION

Men Charged With Auto Frauds Change Minds and Refused to Return With Sheriff McColly.

Sheriff McColly, who went to Chicago Monday for Dunlap and Howard, the men charged with the automobile insurance frauds committed in Rensselaer last week, returned here Monday evening without his men. They had agreed to waive extradition, so Chief of Detectives O’Brien, of Chicago, had wired, but after Sheriff McColly reached the city he found that the men had changed their minds, had consulted attorneys and were prepared to make a fight against return. Dunlap and Howard are married men and their wives had been active in their behalves. Both were under assumed names here. President J. Lester Williams, of the Motorists Security Alliance is active in bringing the men to justice and refused to permit the women -to have the cases against the men settled.

Sheriff McColly, aimed with applications for the requisition went to Indianapolis this Tuesday morriing to secure the signature of Governor Ralston to the requisition. He will then go to Springfield to get the signature of Governor Dunne, of Illinois. He will then return to Chicago and bring the men to Rensselaer. It is probable that their trials can be held during the present term of court. Gheriff McColly believps that Dunlap and Howard are bad men and that they have been connected with other skin games. His activity in 'bringing them to justice is very commendable.
