Mulliken was arrested at bis home
In this city Tuesday forenoon, the
action on the part of the authori-
ties being the result of Mulliken's
breatting a parole granted him two
years ago, when he was convicted
on a charge of bootlegging and sen-
tenced to serve a term in the county
jail and filed $500. After being
in jail two days the governor in-
tervened and Mulliken was releas-
ed . ■
1-ast April the executive got word
that the man he had befriended had
broken h ispromise to cut the booze
business, and right then Governor
Haskell ervoked the parole. The
authorities at once began a search
f r Mulliken. but it was not till thi3
week, when he tame to see his sick
i wife,' that the officers got hold
of him.
Following are the conditions on j
which Mulliken was released, and I
whicn show that there was more |
than one way for Mulliken to get
bark into the toils after being par-
led by the governor:
(1) That J. M. D. Mulliken
shall pay to the county court $10
upon release and $10 a month there
after until the entire fine assessed
against him shall have been paid in
full.
! (2) That he shall abstain from
, the use, sale or in any way dispos-
ing of intoxicating liquor, that he
shall avoid all evil associations or
the association of any person selling
liquor, that he shall avoid all im-
proper places of amusement, obey
the laws and conduct himself in all
respects as an upright citizen.
I (3) That J. M. D. Mulliken
shall make a report to the governor

ing the whereabouts and conduct of
the said J. M. D. Mulliken for
the thirty days next preceding date
of said report.
(4) A violation of any of the
above conditions set forth forfeits
this par le on the part of the said
J. M. D. Mulliken and renders him
liable to be returned at once to the
ounty jail to serve out the maxi-
mum of said sentence.
