ATHENS Dec 28—Samuel In-
sull ate dinner with friends Tuesday
night a free man after a Greek court
had refused to sanction his extradi-

Cook county Illinois charges of
mismanagement of funds of his
utilities companies
The court after having peremp-
torily cut short the presentation of
the defense case found depositions
brought to Athens from Chicago did
not support the charges against the
former utilities operator and let him
go free
There were extraordinary scenes
among the large crowd which had

of "Long live Greek justice!" echoed

"I owe thanks to Greek justice for

The charges against Insult in Chi-

loans made for the purpose of sav-

companies were interested greatly
Insull had no fraudulent intention
the court decided and he committed
no offense The tribunal held that
none of the charges made against him
had been backed up by the deposi-
tions presented in court and that
there was no justification for extra-

Seeing what had happened all
three boys ran to Cushing and tele-
phoned for a doctor and an ambu-
lance from an urban grocery store
The accident occurred about 10:30
am and it was 1 pm before the
wounded boy reached the hospital
The Jenkins boy said that the four'
youthful nimrods separated to scare
up rabbits and that he lost sight of
Massed He said that he thought
Massed was on a hill when the shot
was fired but that instead the boy
d'ivas in a low place' ' -
Small rifles Were being carried by
both the Gardner and 'Jenkins boys
on the hunting excursion Jackson
was hunting with an air rifle but
the Massad boy had been carrying
it a short time before the Jenkins
boy discharged his gun at a rabbit

resided at Shidler before moving to
Cushing about a year ago where Mr
Massad operates a department store
