MAGNESS' RELEASE
RUMORS NOT TRUE
Prison Ship Commander Says For
mer Miss Germans Husband
Is on Board.
PORTSMOTTH. 81.

PORTSMOUTH, y. II, March IA
Although rumors Of the release OF
Charles ]. Magness. alias Harflove,
continue 70 reach here. there is
no reason TO place any credence in
them AS announced in The Washing
ton Times Of LIST Friday, Magness IS
still a work on the prison ship Topeka.
and there is no foundation for the re-
port that he and his wife. the daughter
Of the late Senator German OF Mary
land. were travelling in Cfalada-
This was proved cOncIusively today
by a Munsey News Service representa-
tive who called upon Commander vii
liam L Hill Of the prison ship Topeka.
on which Magness is confined, az the
Portsmouth navy yard. Complying
with the reporters request for a state
ment setting the rumors at rest, Com
mander Hill said:
Il cannot understand how such NJ
mors OF the release and escape Of this
man Magness gained such circulation.
There is absolutely no truth in the
story. He is still here on the ship and
will stay here until his sentence expires
in May as FAR as / can understand I
am tired of denying the reports that
he has been pardoned or has escaped.
Rear Admiral Edwin K Moore com
mandant of the navy yard says he has
not been notified of any pardon OF Sc
half OF Magness and he expects none.
