Death May Cheat the Prison Bars
Chicago Oct. Death may cheat the prison bars from which John W. Worthington the Wall of LaSalle street has been fleeing for two years. Broken in health Worthington is back in Chicago where his frenzied financial operations brought him millions and a two year sentence in Atlanta to make his will and to obtain a stay of execution of the sentence that he may die here. He says results of his life labor as a crumbler broker and fugitive from justice are about 2 000 000 and he wants to keep this for his daughters. One Alice appears in motion pictures as Jane Allen. He came from Mexico on a stretcher partly paralyzed last act of his colorful career. He tells a story in Mexico with federal agents on his trail. He paid a police chief 25 for a guard of five men. A 5 bet at a race track started him amassing money from gambling. He used funds to open a brokerage office in Chicago and though often in trouble was never convicted. The climax came in 1923 when the government began an investigation and convicted him on a mail fraud charge. He was sentenced to two years but in January this year received a stay because of ill health and fled.
