pared At Executive Offices And
Sent To Officials Of Talbot

Committed
CAPTURE, SENSATIONAL
MAN HUNT IN STATE

Friday, July %, has been set for

State. The death warrant was filed
out here yesterday afternoon and Sec
retary of State Perlman directed that
it be forwarded to the sehriff of Tai
bot county, to whom the instrument
was addressed.
The warrant sets forth the fact that
Isaiah Fountain was legally convicted

Governor, acting in his official ca
pacity, and carrying out the mandate
of the court that so convicted him,
directs the said Fountain in his GUS
today until Friday, July %, when he
shall be hanged by his neck until he
is dead.
Secretary of State Perlman. acting
in the absence of Governor Ritchie,
stated last night that Fountain would
be kept in the Jail at Easton until

far as he could see, why the pris-
oner should be removed from there.

YOUR BIT FOR THE MAN
WHO DID HIS

The Service Division of the Amer
lean Legion is anxious to clear up and
settle in the next few months the case
of every disabled ex-service man who
is entitled to compensation, training
or ohter assistance from the Govern
ment. To do this it asks the aid of
every Legion member in the country.
Six months ago the inefficiency of
he Government agencies charged
with the care of the wars disabled
made an adjustment of many cases
impossible. The disabled themselves,
tired by inattention and promises un-
filled, gave up their effort to get their
moral and legal due.
The situation has changed, how
ever. in the last six months. Now.
as explained in an article by the head
of the Legion's Service Division in
this issue, the Federal agencies are
functioning and, at least, are capable
of carrying out the intent of Con-
gress and of the country. 1t is the
lack of confidence and difidence of
the disabled that is retarding the
work.
If your know orslearn of dis
abled veteran who 5 not getting
what is due to him from the Gov
ernment, urge him to call upon
the nearest Post of the Legion.
If he will not call upon the
Post in person. send his name to
the Post that a representative
may call upon him.
If it is impractical to notify
Legion Post. send his name to
State headquarters of the Legion
1t is the duty of every Legionnaire
to cooperate with the service
Division during the next few
months. The cIean-up should be
real one.
