FREEDOM TODAY FOR J. D. DODGE, RICH SPEEDER
Will Be Released From the Detroit House of Correction to Face Two Other Serious Charges.
(By The Associated Press.)
Detroit, Mich., March 19.--John Duval Dodge, millionaire speeder, will leave the Detroit House of Correction tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock to face a fresh series of tribulations.
Tuesday Mr. Dodge will be arraigned in Kalamazoo on the charge of driving an automobile while drunk. He later will be arraigned on a charge of illegally transporting liquor.
Miss Emeline Kwackerneck, Grand Rapids normal school student, who was seriously injured when she jumped from Dodge's automobile March 11, after being offered, she alleged, a drink of whiskey, will be sufficiently recovered to appear against him.
Young Dodge was sentenced to serve five days in prison, pay a fine of $100, and his driver's license was revoked for one year after he pleaded guilty here to speeding Thursday. He earned the admiration of the other prisoners Saturday by the vigor with which he shoveled coal, his first prison task. He worked so hard he became ill and had to be transferred to clerical work.
When he leaves the prison he will be master of a fortune of $1,600,000, the circuit court Saturday having admitted to probate the amended will of his father, the late John F. Dodge, permitting the son to share in the estate. Under the original will young Dodge was cut off with a monthly allowance of $150.
