MANSFIELD WINS KANKAKEE CASE

Hon. Charles F. Mansfield, principal attorney for the state in the trial of Joseph Clarke, of Chicago, for conspiring to burn the Model store on East avenue, Nov. 21, 1917, with David I. Bauer and Arthur Bauer as confederates at Kankakee, 111., succeeded in so handling his case that the defense blew up and all three of the defendants confessed. The prisoners admitted that they had framed up an alibi and that they had lied to their attorneys, Darrow and Smith.
