dering on August 81.
HOW HE HAS BEEN EvADING OFFICERS

James Franklin Graham, the al
legged murderer of Claude Bass, was
arrested last night shortly after dusk
by F. NJ. Matlock, formerly a regular
policeman. Graham denies that he
knew Claude Bass and that he was in
Paducah ON the night of the murder.
Graham confessed that he was guilty
Of housekeeping. but disclaimed any
knowledge ofthe Bass murder.
Last evening shortly after G
O'Clock Graham came out of Lee
Hite's grocery, Tenth and Husbands
streets. He was accosted by Matlock,
who had been clipped of" that Ora
ham was coming to Paducah.
Jim. there is a warrant for you
at the station" the extra policeman
stated
"WeH, | do not know what IT can
be for" he declared.
Matlock Informed him that he
would tell' him at the hall. and the
two started for the police station.
Graham willingly accompanying
Matlock. En- route to the station
little Was said Of the affairs OF the
prisoner and a short conference was
held at the police station
"How is your partner, Claude Bass,
getting along?" Lieut.. Tom Potter
asked.
Il do not know any Bass" Ora
has declared.
This was all that passed at the
police station. Graham was trans
feTed at once TO the county jail and
Policemen william Johnson and Lige
Cross walked to the Jail with Mat
lock and his charge. Graham was
told that he was wanted on a warrant
charging housebreaking.
"Well. do not deny breaking into
the store" was his reply. but the
murder matter at that time was not
touched on. Graham did not seem
TO be worried over his plight and
when the Jail was reached quickly
disrObed and went to sleep.

they failed to read the problem care
fully and to take it's meaning in the
plainest, simplest sense. There was no
catch" Of any kind-just a plain,
straightforward problem In arithmetic.
A comparatively large number Of cor
rect solutions were received, not only
over the northwest. So that the award
Of the prizes became a question Of
which answers were the c1everest or
most ingenious. The first prize was
awarded to Miss Nicholson, because her
solution was not only correct, but was
cast in the form Of metrical story
with good point to it. A large num-
Der Of poetical solutions, both correct
and incorrect, were received, but in
most cases they were mere jingles with
out any attempt to make good point

pictorial thriller reproduced with this
article. It would have been hardly fair
to award the first prize to Mr.. Boehm,
however, because his answer, tho cor
rect, was not "solution' of the prob
lem. By all odds the neatest answer in
execution came from W. E. Coats Of
Bismarck. His design was done in red
and purple typewriting with pen orna-
mentation. :.
