Solicitor Asks Death Penalty
For Farmer Charged With
Murdering Wealthy Atlantan

FATHER ALSO”FACING
SIMILAR CHARGES
Younger Defendant as Witness
Denies That He Fold His
Father to Shoot William Baker
With Pistol.
Fayetteville, Ga., Oct. 27. (/P)—As
arguments began today in the trial
of Alvin McCullough, charged with
the murder of William B. Baker, the
state announced the defendant’s fath¬
er, Andrew McCullough, would he
placed on trial as soon as the case
against Alvin McCullough is complet
ed. The two were jointly indicted for
Baker’s slaying.
A statement by the younger Mc¬
Cullough, in which he denied parti¬
cipation in the crime, closed presenta¬
tion of evidence in the case late yes¬
terday.
McCullough said he was present
when Mr. Bakc*r, former president
of the Atlantic Ice & Coal Company,
was shot, but denied he had shouted
to his father to shoot.
“I saw he was trying to draw a re¬
volver,” Alvin said, “and I shouted to
my father to ‘Look out.’ I did not tell
him to shoot.”
Dr. W. Pape Baker, Atlanta physi¬
cian and son of the dead man, who
received a flesh wound at the time
his father was wounded fatally, had
testified earlier that Alvin McCul¬
lough shouted “Here’s Old Man Baker,
shoot him.”
Mr. Baker was killed when he and
his son went to a tenant house on the
Baker plantation to quell an argu¬
ment.
Defense counsel made two motions
for mistrials today, both of which
were denied by Judge W. E. H.
Searcy, Jr.
Two houi's for aguments were as¬
signed to both sides.
Solicitor-General tuiu-iiui-ireiieiai Emmett rnmnuu L. lj. Owen uwen

He said Alvin McCullough was with
his father at the time of the shooting
and equally guilty under the law.
Floggings Called
Deplorable Today
By Florida Judge
Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 27. (/P)—De¬
claring a situation exists “so deplor¬
able that it can no longer pass un¬
noticed,” Circuit Judge George Coup
ev Gibbs today charged the Duval
county grand jury to “go deeply” in¬
to its investigation of the recent flog¬
ging of more than a score of persons
here.
Calling the jury into open court be¬
fore it began a second day of inquiry
into the reported whippings, Judge
Gibbs told its members to go forward
“carefully and conscientiously” with
its work.
Judge Gibbs deplored the action of
“mobs of men” which endanger the
life and liberty of “men and women
and little children.” He told the jury
the courts and all branches of gov¬
ernment are open to them in follow¬
ing up their investigation.
“Deplorable and serious” was the
description the judge gave to the
whipping by terrorist bands of men
and women, the list of which already
has reached 24.
Authorities were reticent today as
to when the grand jury would con¬
clude its investigation of the whip¬
pings, which have been attributed by
them to a group of 12 or 18 men. Five
of the victims are women.
Six suspects already have been ar¬
rested and identified by some of the
victims, police said. They are at lib¬
erty under bond pending a hearing
next Wednesday.

Fifteen Arrested After Demon¬

Dismissal of Oakley Johnson,
Economist. j f
By RAYMOND CROWLEY
New York, Oct. 27. (/Pi-—A siege of
the white way’s famous night court by
750 college students ended early today
| in suspended sentences for 14 youths
and a co-ed seized by charging police
I reserves.
I Free-for-all fistcuffs featured the
! demonstrations, which swirled in
j front of the building, forcing Alagis
trate August Dreyer to adjourn
court because all his policemen were
outside helping quell the students.
The demonstration grew from a
protest meeting by students who de¬
manded “free speech” and reinstate¬
ment of Oogley Johnson, economist,
who was dropped from the faculty of
the college of the city of New York.
Student supporters said he was dis¬
missed as a communist sympathizer.
College officials, denying this, said he
was an “extra” instructor dropped
I because of a budget cut.
j One hundred and fifty members of
Ore college Liberal Club gathered to
protest last night in a college build
mg. Police, called by an assistant
librarian, charged them in a flying
wedge and ejected them. Prof. Don¬
ald Henderson, economics instructor,
and three students were arrested,
charged with disorderly conduct.
Crowds of students followed them
to night court, scene of many a mid¬
night drama. “Free our students,
free Professor Henderson!” they
clamored, marching up and down the
street.
The magistrate, unable to hear tes¬
timony, ordered all policemen pres¬
ent to quell the demonstration. Re¬
serves were called and they charged
throught the marching column, split¬
ting it into minor groups which were
dispersed amid flying fists.
“You should have more respect for
the American flag and the courts,”
j the magistrate admonished the stud
; betore setting them free. Pro
j * ess01 ' Henderson and the three youths
arres t e d earner were paroled in the
custody of Attorney Allen Taub for
a hearing later today.

Indian Mummies
Are Proven Fakes
By X-Ray Machine
Macon, Ga., Oct. 27. (/Pj- Indian
Springs’ “prehistoric mummies” -two
grotesque bodies on which thousands
of Georgians have gazed in recent
months—were exposed as fakes to¬
day.
The practiced hands of physicians
and the infallible penetration of the
X-ray revealed that the bodies are
composed of paper, tape, paste, nails,
wire, horsehair and a conglomeration
of other ingredients.
Flesh and bone and human organs
were entirely missing. The bodies
proved to be mere shells, covered by
the paper, which had beep painted a
peculiar reddish color.
Exposure of the fraud came as a
result of investigation started sev¬
eral days ago by Chief of Detectives
T. E. Garrett when L. J. Gregory and
p w q thSl Brvant of L Indian Snrinirs
brought the figures to Macon for f« ex¬
hibition purposes.
Many thousands of Georgians in
nearly a dozen cities and towns paid
the ten cents admission fee and went
away believing they had seen genu¬
ine mummies, as advertised by the
sponsors of the exhibit, Chief Garrett
said. As many as 2,000 paid to see
Ihe mummies in one day at Indian
Springs in August, soon after they
were reported to have been dug up on
Gregory’s farm, it was reported.
Gregory and Dr. Bryant are sched¬
uled for trial in recorder’s rourt Fri¬
day morning. They are at liberty
under nominal bonds. The two were
arrested by Chief Garrett Monday
when the investigation started. A
charge of loitering was docketed
against them, and this may be changed
to cheating and swindling, he said.
Since Monday afternoon, the mum¬
mies, supposed to represent an Indian
I mother to her breast, have been held
at police headquarters in the black
“coffin” in which they were exhibited.

I
NEW PLAN TOWARD
RETURN OF BEER
New York, Oct. 27. UP)-- Alfred
E. Smith has come forward with
a new plan for effecting immediate
modification of the Volstead act.
Speaking at a dinner last night,
he said:
“I have been thinking of a quick
way to get modification, and f of¬
fer this seriously.
“Don’t try to change the Vol¬
stead act. All you have to do is
add another section to it, saying:
“ ‘Nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to apply to malt ¬
ed liquors.’
“ ‘Then we’ll get beer and ale
right away. We won’t have to
pass on the intoxicating quality of
it- just say the law doesn’t apply
to it.”
The dinner was in honor of Mrs.
Charles II. Sabin, head of the
Women’s Organization for Na¬
tional Prohibition Reform.

Child Stolen From Crib in
Wealthy Los Angeles Home is
Discovered With Mother in
Suburbs
CLUE IS SUPPLIED
BY WOMAN’S FRIEND
Police Baffled For While Over
Abduction Which Stirred Offi¬
cials Into City-Wide Search
For 3-Year-Old Child.
Los Angeles, Oct. 27. UP) Mrs.
Borman, 17-year-ohl mother,
found at a residence in Newhall,
Angeles suburb, today with her
three-year-old daughter, Nancy Ruth
Buchanan, who was kidnaped yester¬
day from the home of her guardian,
Mrs. Violet C. Buchanan, wealthy Los
Angeles resident.
The mother was located with her
child after police had questioned M.
E. Warner, 24, a friend of Mrs. Bor¬
man, who told authorities he had
driven her to the home of Mrs.
Buchanan, where she entered the
nursery and took her child yesterday.
Warner supplied police with
address of a Newhall residence, where
he drove Mrs. Borman and Nancy.
The trio was taken to a San
nando police sub-station and
began faking statements.
Mrs. Buchanan was given
ship rights after having taken
child v.i.i .,1 into ,,,,,, her home shortly
birth. Mrs. Buchanan, officers
informed, . „ . attempted .. . , to , adopt . ... the ,...!
girl but Mrs. Borman opposed
proceedings, which were pending when
tbe child was carried away.
When police reached the Newhall
address, which proved to be a small
shack on the outskirts of the town,
they found the mother asleep with her
daughter.
At the police station she confront¬
ed Mrs. Buchanan and with tears
streaming down her face, told a story
of an intense longing for her daugh¬
ter, which finally drove her to carry
the child away from the home of her
guardian.
When police mentioned a “kidnap¬
ing,” she turned on them scornfully,
crying out: “She is my baby, even if
the court say she belongs to Mrs.
Buchanan.”
Acting Captain V. P. Rasmussen,
however, placed the mother and War¬
ner under technical arrest and said
he would hold them on suspicion of
kidnaping.
Several hours after the abduction of
the child, foster daughter of Mrs.
Violet C. Buchanan, whose efforts to
adopt the little girl had been opposed
by Mrs. Borman, police located the
residence in San Fernando where the
mother had been living and were told
of her disappearance.
Mrs. .Tael: McBride, with whom Mrs.
Borman had resided, said she saw her
last about noon Tuesday, when she
left the house suddenly without her
coat or hat. She was unable to of¬
fer any explanation.
The kidnaping about one and a
half months after Mrs. Buchanan had
received two notes in which exlortion
attempted to frighten her into
payment of $12,500 by threatening to
abduct the girl.
Although Mrs. Buchanan was ab¬
sent from her home at the time of
the kidnaping, four guests, three men
and a woman, were in the house. The
woman was in a room adjoining the
nursery hut neither she nor the men
heard any disturbance, they told po¬
lice.
The crime was discovered by
child's nurse when she entered the
nursery to awaken the little girl from
a na)i.
Mrs. Borman had opposed
of Mrs. Buchanan to adopt the
although she had been given
sion of Nancy under
proceedings.
The girl was taken into the
anan home shortly after her birth
Mrs. Buchanan and her husband,
thur, of Ontario, Cal., from whom
is estranged. Buchanan told police
saw the child last “some three
ago and I know nothing about
kidnaping.”
Extortion notes were delivered
gust 22 and 29. When September
was set for “the pay off ” at a
town hotel, police set a trap but
Buchanan failed to keep the
ment.
THOUSANDS DEFY
I
REVOLT IN YEARS
Thousand Enmassed Inside
Hyde Park and Others March
in Portest Against Handlin'*
of Dole
MOUNTED OFFICERS
charge; big crowds
Stones and Mud Tossed By Job*
less and Several Persons In*
jtired in Serious Street Dis¬
turbance.
London, Oct. 27. UP) Rioting un¬
employed, yelling defiance at the po¬
lice, participated today in the most
serious disturbance of the kind that
London lias seen in years.
Fifty thousand people were massed
inside Hyde Park and at the several
entrances as a column of several
thousand jobless marched in for
demonstration in protest against, ad¬
ministration of the dole system.
In great Cumberland Place, oppo¬
site the marble arch entrance on
Edgeware road, a brick was thrown
through the posloffiee window.
Mounted police charged, swinging
their clulis, and the mob fell back
cursing and booing.
The police retired and the crowd
swept, in again upon them. Time af¬
ter time the horses pressed hack the
mob, withdrew, and the mob surged
in again.
Stone and mud whizzed past the po¬
licemen’s heads. Several persons
were injured and taken away in ambu¬
lances.
This fighting took place over a 200
yard section along the bridle path
from the marble arch westward.
Meantime the throng inside which
had been listening in an orderly man¬
ner to speeches froin fifty soap box
orators, suddenly became menacing.
Attracted by the affray at the mar¬
ble arrli, mobs began to gather inside
the park railings.
The mounted police extended their
charges along Kays water road as the
crowds before and behind them grew
more hostile.
The Oxford street shopping district
became a surging mass. Women were
shrieking, and many windows were
broken. Cumberland Place finally
was cleared of the mob and 200 police
reserves were stationed there to
quell further developments.
In the park a living wail of police,
shoulder to shoulder, kept hack crowds
as the marchers entered. The famed
free speech arena, near the marble
alx ' h ; WUK !vluiK</d to cover the whole
northeast section of the park. Long
lines of limousines, smart entourages
and horseback riders bound for rot¬
ten not row delayed werj long, interrupted. however, They after were the
marchers arrived.
For every “hunger” marcher, one of
London’s poker faced, apple-cheeked
“Bobbies” acted as escort in the park,
protecting the demonstrators in their
right to protest the government’s
dole administration, but also as an
ever present reminder against accom¬
panying strong words with deeds.
Approximately 5,000 police, mount¬
ed and afoot, were assigned to spec¬
ial duty for the occasion, demon¬
strating the fact that never before
had Scotland Yard taken such elabo¬
rate precautions to deal with a dem¬
onstration by the workless.
Radio van motors and motorcycle
squads kept headquarters in touch
with the dozens or more contingents
of marchers, as if the whole business
were a battle maneuver.
A drizzle and chill wind, to which
Hie marchers have long since become
accustomed, failed to dampen the ar¬
dor of the various columns as they
moved in from the rim of London with
red flags flying.
Hyde Fark was ready for the ex¬
pected 50,000 jobless and spectators,
with 20 speaking stands set up for
the day.
Communist leaders curly this morn¬
ing paid flying visits to the concen¬
tration points in the suburbs from
which the last trek started.
The greatest precautions were tak¬
en by police to see that regulations
.were upheld and to prevent any dem¬
onstrations within a mile of parlia¬
ment buildings.
Scotland Yard ordered its men to
accompany the protestors and to
guard them in Hyde Park, but not to
interfere with peaceful demonstra¬
tions.
The vanguard of the army moved
into London yesterday with W. A. L.
Hanriington at its head. Hannington
was described by the police as a com¬
munist. He was the leader of a sim¬
ilar march on London in 1980 and
claims responsibility for the Invergor
don naval mutiny last year.
All the various “battalions” werd
housed and fed last night in suburban
