Supreme Test Has Come
'1n the hope that this statement of the needs
or the nation and of the world in this hour of

solemn duties of a time such as the world has
never seen before, [ beg that all editors and
publishers everywhere will give as prominent
publication and wide circulation as possible
to this appeal
i venture to suggest also, to all advertising
agencies that they would perhaps render a very
substantial and timely service to the country if
they would give it widespread REPETITION. And

comment and homily from their pulpits.

Col. Walker stated today that the

pitiable condition he would not be
prosecuted. He is known to have been
implicated in number of robberies

stricken with paralysis six years ago

with drawing large amounts from the
government to pay for the keeping Of
members Of the gang Since the cap
ture of Webb the guards over the
three were paid a total of SIS per
day, to say nothing of the bills at the
hospital contracted by Harrison, and
it is a relief to the district attorney
to know that he has at last finished
with job, big in itself, and after
working hard and with much effort
has every member Of the gang, which
committed the boldest hold-up known
to the state of West Virginia, behind
