Theory Is Advanced That Importer
Slay Have Gone to California
to Draw Money on Deposit.
Accomplice Is Likely.
SEATTLE. Wash., April 23. The po
lice and Federal authorities have no
clew to the whereabouts of Logan Bil
lingsley, the convicted head of the
whisky-selling ring, who escaped from
the Seattle Immigration Detention
Station earfy Sunday morning by saw
ing the bars of his cell window. His
friends say he is too shrewd to at-
tmnt tn Ipars Puept Sound, and It
Is believed that he is hiding: here.
One of his brothers, Sherman Bil
lingsley. Is in town, and so is Logan's
.Mf Tt la thnuErtit Bil linersley may
present himself at McNeil Island Pen
i.n.u .-.. -arhih la situated on an
Island near Tacoma. He is under sen
tence to serve 13 months there, hav
ing pleaded guilty to a charge of con
spiracy to import liquor.
During the recent conspiracy trial
Logan Billingsley testified as to how
he eluded the state officials in Okla
homa when he was being sought to
give testimony against a Sheriff whom
Billingsley, then a liquor dealer in
Oklahoma, had bribed. The most dili
gent search failed to reveal a trace of
Billingsley. and the authorities finally
accepted as true the story given out
from sources close to Billingsley that
he had fled to Canada.
Billingsley testified that he never
left the state of Oklahoma. Billings
ley. after his arrest last December,
was permitted to leave the King County
Jail, but returned as he said he would.
Billingsley, on the witness stand, tes
tified that he was a truthful man, that
he had never committed perjury and
that his "word was good" wherever he
had lived. Men who know him well
think he will present himself at the
prison. At the same time the city and
Federal authorities are doing their ut
most to find him.
Federal officers are Inclined to at
tach importance to a theory that Lo
gan Billingsley has gone to San Fran
cisco to obtain possession of large sums
of money which he had placed in two
eafe-deposit vaults In that city.. Fed
eral officials are confident that he will
surrender as soon as his mission Is
completed, as he has always kept his
word with them.
It Is believed that an automobile was
In waiting for Billingsley when he
emerged from the detention station.
Questions raised In some quarters
that Logan Billingsley, under sentence
of 13 months' Imprisonment for con
spiracy to violate Federal laws through
imnorting llauor into Washington, was
really entitled to his freedom or a
light sentence because of the character
of his testimony, virtually turning
"state's evidence," are answered by
United States Attorney Reames, who
went from Portland to Seattle and
prosecuted the case, who says there Is
no legal provision of that kind, though
prosecutors universally ask for clem
ency when so assisted by a defendant.
"In being found guilty of the counts
against him Billingsley could have been
given a maximum sentence of six years
In prison and a fine of $30,000," said
United States Attorney Reames. "I
recommended that the court pronounce
the minimum sentence, which was fixed
at 13 months. It usually follows that
a prosecutor asks that the court take
Into consideration such aid rendered by
a. man jointly charged."

Inasmuch as the new law, which pro

probable the Board will attempt to
make no new appointment, but will
