A LETTER AND
A STATEMENT

The Times-Recorder has received
the following letter from Capt. Law
renee S. Churchill. commanding Off
Ger at Souther Field, publication of
which ne requests:
editor Times-Recorder. Sir: The
article which appeared in your issue
of the Times-Recorder, July 9th, con-
corning the Souther Field circus on
July 9Th, seems not to be only mis-
leading and unfair, but untrue in that
it did not state actual facts. The
general tone of the article would in
dictate that the circus was more or
less of failure. A number of prom
inent people from Americas and near
by towns who attended the circus
made very complimentary remarks
concerning it and their remarks were
unsolicited. No one was heard to
make a complaint of any nature what
soever. The failure of Mr.. Williams
to make his change-of-planes in mid
air was the only disappointment of
the day, and this failure was due to
no fault of Mr.. Williams or his pilots,
Its. Warde and Wolfe. The clouds
were very low late in the afternoon,
and it is fact well known to avia-
ton that the air is exceedingly chop
py and rough near the clouds i'm
mediately before storm. This be-
ing the case, it was impossible to
maneuver the planes into the neces-
sary position for the change without
putting the lives of three men in
great danger.
with reference to the crowd, it
was noted that not more than rs per
cent of the representative Americas
people attended the circus, and it was
estimated that at least Is per cent of
the people were from places other
than Americas. 1t was thought that
as 25 per cent of the profits of the
circus would be turned over to the
Americas Playground fund, the peo-
pie of Americas would support the
circus at least to the extent of at
tending. 1t seems that such was not
the case.
miss Chapman prepared beauti-
full spectacle, and great deal of
credit is due her and her dancing class
for the part which they took in help
ing make the day a success.
"The parachute leap was spec
tacle rarely seen in this part of the
country, and a feat which was we'll
worth the price of admission to the
circus.
"The motorcycle race, although not
DIS fast as it could have been, was as
Fl Il of thrills and interest as could
be expected, considering the short
length of time in which the track was
prepared. 1t will be noted that Mr..
York won the race with Henderson
5 miles in 6 minutes and 20 Sec
onds.
another feature was put on by
Mr.. McMullen and his wife Mrs
Oscar Sommerfoot. Mr.. McMullen

drove an old model Maxwell about
the field, and casually got into IN

he first run with a long hit to left
field.
J. D. Hooks was at second, recall
ing the days when the old team was
first organized and before the pace
with DOC" Fisher and the others
became too fast for him to travel,
and he, too, did good work.
Jeff McCleskey, who went from
Americas to the South Atlantic
League along with John Wagnon, but
who is now a sedate bookkeeper for
Edgar Ship, played a good game at
short, though one error was charged
to him by the official scorer.
Walter Rylander started at third
and exchanged the hot corner for an
easier place in left garden. Jim By
mum, who supplanted him, played the
old position with an ease that sug-
gested him as a youth again.
Lucius McCleskey started in right
and after five innings decided to let
some of the younger fellows share
the glory of the afternoon. Bob
Monohan was sent to that garden in
the sixth, and in the same inning his
brother John supplanted Tommy
behind the bat. Pantone, another

GIVEN LIFE FOR
MURDER In TAXI
Larmon, Who Sold Auto
Here, Convicted at
Tallahassee

TOWNSVILLE, July lob. H.
Larmon of Bowling Green, KY, who
was recently convicted of murder in
the second degree in his trial at Tai
lahassee for the death of Ralph Rush.
ing of that city, whose dead body was
found in a culvert on the Thomas
ville-Tallahassee branch of the Dixie
Highway, has been given life SEN
tence by Judge Love. Larmon and his
bride figured in the news at Ameri-
Gus recently in connection with the
finding there of the murder car. No
tice of an appeal to the Supreme
court has been given by Lannon's at
tOrneys and another effort will be at
tempted at once to make his bond,
which has been fixed at $4,000. The
attorneys have been given sixty days
in which to prepare their bill of ex-
ceptions to the Supreme court.
Sentence in the case was given at
ter the hearing of motion by the
attorneys for new trial for Larmon,
the trial being asked for on the
ground of errors of the court in
giving charges and the admission OF
the automobile in which the parties
were riding when the alleged murder
was committed, and the skull of Rush
ing as evidence at the trial. After
hearing the arguments of the attor-
neys for Larmon, Judge Love retus-
ed to grant a new trial.
Larmon hired Rushing to bring him
and his wife to Thomasville from Tai
lahassee, where they had been stop
ping, to take the train to Montgom-
cry. Some day after the dead body
of Rushing was found by negro llv-
ing near, in a culvert near the road
with a pistol wound through the back
of the head.
Later Harmon and his wife were
traced to Americas, where they had
sold the car, and then to Detroit.
where they were arrested and brought
back to Tallahassee for trial. They
claimed that Rushing was killed &C
cidentally by the discharge of pis-
tol in the hands of Mrs. Larmon, and
which he had just handed back to her
after examining it, the sudden start
ing of the car causing it to go off.
The couple claimed to be afraid to
return to Tallahassee for fear their
story might not be believed. The case
against Mrs. Larmon was dismissed
and she returned to Kentucky with
her parents.
Both Larmon and his wife are said
to be quite young, neither of them
yet of age, and they had come to
Florida after a runaway match. All
of the evidence is entirely circum-
stantial but the general sentiment
seems to be that the verdict was in
keeping with the evidence.

surprise of the spectators and the
officers of Souther Field, they not

were. flying the ship. All were great
| relieved to know that the pilot was
one of the best pilots Souther Field
ever had.
LAWRENCE S. CHURCHILL,
"Capt. U. S. A,
Commanding.
Aviation General Supply Depot,
Americas, Ca"
In defense of the Times-Recorder's
report of the Souther Field affair, it
desires to say that it believes Capt.
Churchill has drawn a wrong i'm
preston from it. He points out no
particular in which the report was
untrue" The estimate of the
crowd as published was obtained from
personal observation and soliciting
the judgment of other persons on
the ground. The estimate may have
been too low, but the official figures
are not given to show that it was in
correct. No criticism was offered in
the article regarding the failure Of
the plane-changing stunt; in fact, it
w. specifically stated that Mr.. Will
liams made the fight with Lieuts
Wolfe and Warde and explained on
coming down that the condition OF
the air was too bad for it, because of
the approaching storm.
The Times-Recorder gladly lent
every effort to make the occasion a
success, opening its columns without
cost to Souther Field.
We believe Capt. Churchill's crit
icism, stating that the news report
of the affair was misleading, unfair
and untrue" to be in itself unfair,
but in Difference to his wishes we are
pleased to publish his letter.

New life was infused into Ameri-

these old veterans cavorted around

warehouse now stands, Americas
stood at the head of Georgia towns
maintaining amateur ball teams, and
yesterday local fans evidenced their
intention of again resuming that po-
sition.

cheer on to victory.
