holding them from the authorities.
“If she or any other person has
any facts concerning the murder of
William Desmond Taylor, Idemand
that they be disclosed immediately.
“Unfortunately my daughter,
Mrs, Fullmore, is very bitter against
me because circumstances last
summer forced me to take rather
drastic steps for my daughter's
own good."”
Laf#t summer Mrs. Shelby
brought an insanity complaint
against Mrs, Fillmore, which was
later dismissed,
Titts claimed ‘anformation nev

Testimony Conflicts
In Police Affidavits
Filed in Fluker Trial
ATLANTA.— (&) ——-Cogflicfing
affidavits of two ranking police
officials were on file today with
Solicitor General John Boykin in
connection with a hearing sched
uled for late today, on the new
Itrial motion of O. V. Fluker.
| Fluker is under death sentence in
| the slaying of Eddie Guyol.
| Lieutenant C. E. McCrary made
iaf’fldavit that Mrs. Guyol identi
fied Fluker shortly after his ar
rest as the slayer of her husband
on the night of April 23, 1935.
Captain B. W. Seabrook, head
of the identificaticn bureau, in an
affidavit said “Mrs. Guyol could
Inot identify Fluker.”
| Seabrook’s affidavit, given the
solicitor general, declared that
after he read in newspapers that
McCrary said Mrs. Guyol identi
| fied Fluker he told MeCrary “. . .
this was erronebus and that they
should not have given out such
information, and 1 asked them
what they meant by doing sO.
| They told me they did it ‘for the
effect’.”
Fluker was convicted of the
slaying November 7, 19356 , and
sentenced to die the following
December 11. The motion for new
trial yet to he heard postponed
| execution.
‘ Assistant Solicitor E. A. Steph
ens said today “Mr. Seabrook was
a state’s witness in the trial, and
| did not disclose any of the con
| tent of this affidavit at that time,
not even to the: solicitor general
| in private conversations.”
'Georgia Farmers Are Confronted With
! First Labor Shortage In Many Years
;‘ Georgia farmers, with much
spring planting yet to be done,
;sought a solutionp today to the
state's first farm labor shortage in
many years.
Wwith wages for farm hands 80
per cent higher than four yvears
ago, the Georgia crop reporting
service announced, there are only
86 lahorers available for every 100
jobs on Georgia farms.
D. L. Floyd, chief siatistiszian of
the reporting service said » . crage
farm wages now are $15.20 per
month, with board, Floyd said,
compared to $6.75 per month in
1933, The wage scale without
board averageg $18.50 per month
in comparison with the 1935 fi
gure of $10.75.
J. Willlam Junning, farm man
agement economist for the Georgia
extension service, attributed the
increased farm wgaes to Dbetter
prices for- farm products, “a ten
dency for agircultural expansion,
increased acreage in cash crops
a more thorough cultivation of the
soil and an Incentive to increase
.mmw:t cagh crops by using
more labor” .

Chancellor Sanford
ATLANTA — (#) . The "“New|

about changed demands upon the
state’'s educational institutions, Dr.
8. V. BSanford, chancellor of the
University System, declared today.
“Phe state universities,” he sald,
“Wiust prepare young men and
women for making a living. ¢
“Some years ago a college edu
cation was not so essential, but
the first thing en employer wants
to know now is what college the
applicant attended.
“The next question is: ‘What
special training did you have for
the position you seek’”™”
Several recent changes in the
State University System, he ex
plained, are attributable directly
to new laws adopted in Georgial
this year,
The institutionp of graduate cour

a means of overcoming g farm la

He sugested that relief agency

money on farming jobs.
He cited the case of one Rich
mond county farmer who pays 75
cents per day, and furnishes vege
tables and a home for his hands,

one man who wants a job.
He predicted an “expensive” crop
