HIS OUTLOOK FOR BAIL HOT BRIGHT John Locke Says Prosecutor Will Put Him Back as Fast as He Gets Out.-

DETECTIVE GRADY HERE VISITS LOCKE AT JAIL AND WANTS HIM TO GO TO CHARLESTON, ILL., AS A WITNESS FOR BIG FOUR. John Locke, confined at the county jail awaiting trial, has not yet given up hopes of securing bail, although the outlook to him is far from being bright. It is understood that Prosecutor Jessup has made the statement that if Locke secures bail he will be at once re-arrested on another charge This procedure will be brought into operation again in case Locke secures bond a second time. One of the callers Locke had yesterday at the county jail was Detective Grady of the Big Four service. Grady assured Locke that the Big Four company had no case against him in this state and if he was acquitted of the charge he is now held for, he need have no fear that the Big Four will bring charges against him. Wanted as a Witness. Grady is extremely anxious for Locke to secure bond so that he can go with him Sunday to Charleston, 111., to appear before the grand jury in session there on Monday. The Big Four has several cases there against men charged with stealing from the company and Locke's testimony would be extremely valuable to the railroad company. Owing to Prosecutor Jessup's edict it will be impossible for Locke to make the trip. Detective Grady made the statement that the Big Four Company has made no case against Harry Harris, Locke's companion who was arrested with him in San Francisco, and he Is now a free man. The confession made by Harris at San Francisco was used as state's evidence which secured for him his freedom. Harris makes his home in Indianapolis and will probably visit Locke in a day or two.
