CRISFIELD, Md. —(&)— Sherift

had searched woods and swamps
since early Sunday night. |
Flemming, wanted for seriously
wounding Policeman Harry Daugh

hands of a guard of state police
and being rushed to Baltimore be
fore the sheriff let the searching
crowd know their man was gone.
The sheriff, who said he had’
been “working alone,” made the
arrest unaided when he found
Flemming at a house several miles
from the spot where the crowd)
Lelieved they had him surroundedi
in a swamp. ; |
The crowd, at times estimated at
more than 500 people, had been
looking for the Negro since about
nine o'clock Sunday night. It had‘
dwindled to around a hundred
early Monday morning when the
town fire siren shrieked out toi
summon more men to the hunt.
It was at that time that the empty 1
swamp, several miles from here,
was surrounded. |
The Negro was alleged to havel
attacked Policeman Daugherty, dis-\
tant kinsman of the sheriff, \vhenl
the officer went to arrest him Sun
day night. At first it was thought
that he had been shot in the tem

Three Convicts Flee
Prison Where Aide
10Es
Of Dillinger Are
Ll e e L
. s A e R A AR
COLUMBUS.—(#)—Three con
victs with a smuggled pistol whe
glid over the wall of Ohjo peni
tentiary after disarming a guard
were free Monday as Warden P.
. Thomas promised “an investi
gation to last indeflnitely until we
can find out, if possible, where
the gun came from.”
The three prisoners — Martin
Schmidt, a bank robber; Arthur R.
Koontz, an auto thief, and Rufus
Deeds, robber — diplomatically
worked their way through a guard
which for weeks has been watch
ing for an attempt to free three
former members so John Dillin
ger’s outfit,
Warden Thomas, who Tuesday
will celebrate his 218 t anniver
sary as head of the institution,
said the gun either had been
smuggled in by an unfaithful
guard or was the legendary Dpis
tol which prison grape vines ru
mored has been hidden in the
prison for years.
Flourishing the pistol, the men
cowed 14 fellow convicts and two
civilian officials, climbed a ladder
to the top wall on the pretext of
repairing a searchlight, disarmed
the tower guard and slid to the
ground on a cable which they
had brought along. They took a
shotgun from the guard and cut
the telephone wires leading to the
prison office.
Three more notorious jail break
ers in the prison, Harry Pierpont,
Charles Makley and Russell Clark,
apparently knew nothing of the
plot. Former members of Dillin
ger's bank raiding gang, Pierpont
and Makley are awaiting electro~
cution for the murder of Sheriff
Jess L. Sarber in a raid at Lima,
Ohid, to free Dillinger, Clark is
serving a life sentence.
The three convicts stole an au
tomobile as soon as they reached
free ground and reports to Co
lumbus police indicated they
changed automobiles twice after
that.

Former Athenian Urges
That Present Bishops
Care for Needs.
JACKSON, MISS., —W#P)—Bishop
James M. Cannon, jr., stepped mil
itantly into the general conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church
South, here Monday, ready to fight
any attempt to remove him from
the college of bishops,
The pictureque church figure,
who arrived here Sunday f{rom
Washington where he was acquit
ed of a charge of conspiracy to
violate the corrupt practices act in
connection with the expenditure of
political funds, summed up his in
tentions in a single sentence:
“I think everybody knows I have
not hauled down my Banner.”
Meanwhile, lay and clerical lead
ers refrained from commenting on
any such move, and the genera!
impression was that any such sen
timent had dissolved since the bis
‘hop’s acquittal.
| The conference, which opened
’here last week, swung into con
‘sideration of manifold problems
now faecing it.
Dr. W. P. King, of Nashville,
Tenn., formerly of Athens, | Ga,,
‘editor of the Christian Advocate.
;urged that the present bishops care
for the conference's needs. He of
fered his suggestion for the pur
lpose of economy,

copacy committee, considering
complaints filed against Bishop
}lnram'Boaz, of Houston, Tex. pre
‘pared to report to the full commit
tee on its investigation. The ques
fion, with recommendations, will
probably be placeq before the gen
|eral conference Tuesday.
| Dr. 3, W. Perry, of Chattanooga,
Ténn., chairman of the committee
’said the complaints were “Based
on error” and “are not of a ser
fious nature.” :
The question of selecting five
new bishops to replace three who
will retire with thig conference and
two who died, hag also cropped up.
Bishop Edwin D. Mouzon, of
Charlotte, N, C., expressed the re
lief the bishops should be replaced
at this time because four more will
be retired at the next general
WHEREIN CLARKE COUNTY IS FORTUNATE
The announcement of the three Clarke county com
missioners to succeed themselves brings to mind the al
most unique position which this county occupies in mat
ters of finunce. We say ‘“almost unique” because
it is possible there are a few other Georgia subdivisions
whose affairs have been so skillfully managed that they
arc able to discount their bills and avoid incurring
.debts, but they are in a very small minority.
As early as February of this year, many counties
in the state, through lack of funds, were discounting
warrants drawn on the treasurer, incurring interest
charges that will perhaps have to continue until next
December when tax payments again become due.
Clarke County has not been immune to the ravages
of the depression; there is no reason to surmise that
property owners in Clarke have been more prompt in
meeting tax payments than has been the case in other
counties of the state, yet, Clarke county has not only
managed te pursue a pay-as-you-go' program, thus
saving money incident to the discount of warrants, but
has also been able, through the discount of bills pay
able, to earn {or the tax-payers several thousand dollars
a vear.
Such an extraordinary accomplishment is due, of
course, to the splendid business direction of the coun
ty’s affairs by Commissioners Griffeth, Strahan and
Davis, and the fact that the entire board is willing to
serve for another term will undoubtedly elicit universal
approval and foster confidence in the prospect of a
cortinuation of conservative administration of ccunty
government,
Other Georgia counties would do well to emulate
Clarke’s example by electing as commissioners men
whose unquestioned integrity and demonstrated busi
ness ability assure the utmost efficiency in the manage
ment of county affairs, "

Official Washington Frantically Struggling
To Conceali Its Aim, Dr. Wirt Declares
CHICAGO.—~(#)—Dr. William A,
Wirt, Gary, Ind., educator, charged
Monday there was “frantic strug
gling to conceal the aims of offi
cial Washington.”
~When he went to .Washington
to accuse minor and major “New
Dealers” of slipping a revolution
over on the country, he met, Wirt
declared: “Not only stubborn offi
cial resistance, but actual slander,
intimidation, and other hindran
ces that do not rest well with free
citizens.” .
In a speech Monday, before an
American Legion group, his first
public statement since the con
gressional committee declared his
revolution charges were “un
founded,” Dr. Wirt singled out
former Senator Smith W, Brook
hart, Assistant Secretary of Agri
culture Rexford G. Tugwell and
Speaker Henry T. Rainey as hav
ing made disturbing statements.
~ Dr. Wirt implied that “govern
ment officials” have blocked rath
ér than aided recovery. “We actu
ally had recovery in 1933,” he de
clared, “and destroyed it.”
’ “We lost our recovery during
August, 1933, and bave not regain.
