OVERTON HAD NO
 MALICE IN HEART
 TOWARD JOE TATE
B. M. Allen, His Attorney, Says Appeal Process to the Supreme Court Was
 Almost Completed

Though David Overton, after freeing himself from the clutches of the law, surrendered his life within view of the house of Solicitor Joe Tate, who urged the Huntsville jury to hang him, there was no malice in his heart toward the prosecutor. Judge B. M. Allen, who de- fended Overton, assured The Age-H Herald of this when he was asked if he had any statement to make.
 Overton met his tragical fate just be- for the supreme court was ready to hear an appeal made in an attempt to save him from the hangman's moose.
 ''The legal process that would have gwen MT, Overton an appeal before the supreme court was just about perfected said Judge Allen last night. T had filed bills of exceptions with Judge Miller; he had gone over it and was ready to sign it. The case would have been heard before the supreme court in May. and 1 was preparing to appear in his behalf.
 'Mr Overton bore no malice in his heart for Solicitor Tate. and I am sure that, although he was killed in that vii cinity, he did not intend to take vengeance for the solicitors efforts to convict him
 Judge Allen did not desire to make any comment upon the escape and the sub sequent outcome.

they beat it out of the kitchen and locked me in"
 Mir Lavender said that his gun was in the main part of the jail, which was separated from the kitchen by the court He started to get the gun and found that he was locked in he said, and re- turned and looked out of the window to see what was happening outside. He then saw Tony try several keys in the lock on the alley door. until he found one that fit Then he, followed by the other six prisoners, walked out the door,
 MT Lavender admitted that he seldom carried a gun with him at his work, and said that the prisoners knew this as they had seen him walking around ln his shirt sleeves.
 If l had had a gun I could have killed every one of them,' he said.
 According to MT. Cole, one of the trus- ties in the mems department, the door leading from the main department into the hall, was unlocked, while Warden Orr was inside eating breakfast
 LED THE ESCAPE
 Tony Malino is supposed to have taken the lead in the escape, according to the various wardens, and it was he who had the keys to the different locks. Accord ing to Warden Orr. Tony must have stepped from the cell where they were eating breakfast, have given the warn- ing to the men who were to escape with him, and as soon as they were out of their cells. have pulled the brake, which simul- taneously locks all the cells on one side of the hallway. Overton and the other men were on the other side of the hall, so in order to let them out and keep the other prisoners in. it was necessary to close the brakes on both sides of the hallway.
 According to Warden Orr, the prisoners were allowed to have visitors. and Sam Messina was visited the day before his escape by his brother and his wife and baby. Overton's daughter and his wife visited him Sunday he said.
 It is known that three of the men in the party had pistols. and one of them a razor. No theories are advanced at the courthouse or the jail as to how the prs- oners came into possession of the revol- vers or of the bunch of keys. which seemed to fit every lock around the jail
 In order to get from their cells to freedom, it was necessary to pass from the cell into the hallway, from the hall way into corridor, which was separated from the cells by door with a heavy lock, and through two doors in the yard, each of which was fastened with Yale lock.

 Soon afterwards, however, he left the establishment
 Young Overtons episode was the cli- max to the aftermath of the battle be- tween the deputy sheriffs and the escapes.
 According to the statement of the deputies who were engaged in the bat tie with Overton and the remainder of the escapes, the battle lasted for over five minutes
 Deputy White is supposed to have fired the shot which killed Overton. The ball penetrated his left shoulder and came out on the opposite side. The ball severed the main artery to the heart. It was the only shot which hit Overton.
 Malino was shot four times. One ball went through his temple, another through the right hand, another through the abdomen and the fourth through the chest.
 Jack Higgins and Walter Carey of Johns made the trip to the scene of the battle in the ambulance. 'Overton's body was lying about 30 feet away from Malino," said Carey. Both were dead when we arrived. Overton was

HARDING STATES COUNTRY SHOULD
 LOAN ID ALLIES

New York. March 20-W. P. G. Hard irg of the federal reserve board. in .an address here tonight, declared it was his personal belief that Congress should immediately enact legisation enabling the government to lend it's credit to the entente allies who are fighting for a cause in which all Americans are in terested. He said this government should not hesitate to extend credit of one billion dollars, taking as security there for the simple obligation of Great Britain and France.
 We should remember he said. that We have common cause My personal opinion is that it is clearly the duty of every man of influence to exert every honorable means in his power for the purpose of inducing Congress to do what 1t can do most quickly and effectively in the present crisis.
 Congress can speedily provide the surest means of defense by enacting a law which would enable the government to extend it's credit to those who are lighting for the same cause"

 The body of Latham was In between them. There were no signs Of where the men camped there. I understand the men were hiding near Solicitor Tate's house and that the party of five had arrived on the scene only few minutes prior to the shooting
 We picked Overton up and put him on the floor of the ambulance and placed Iathem on the cot and rushed him to the hospital We later brought Overton to our establishment. The scene of the battle was only g. short distance off the campus of Birmingham college. The body of Malino was brought to the establish ment later.''
 The bodies of Overton and Malino are being held at Johns pending funeral ar engagements. The remains of Overton will probably be sent to Huntsville for inter ment.
 Deputy Coroner Rives held a preliminary investigation at Johns last night shortly after the arrival of the bodies of Overton and Malino there. He returned the yer dict of 'justifiable homicide"
 Overton's brother will arrive from Huntsville early this morning to take charge of the remains.
