Charlie Baker, alias Johnny
Murphy, arrested by police last
night at Shreveport, La, probably
escaped from the state peniten-
tiary here on January IA, 1912,
local officials said this afternoon,
The only John Murphy who ever
escaped from the local institution
was sentence to five years from
Multnomah county on a charge OF
assault with an dangerous weapon
No word has been received by
penitentiary officials from the
Shreveport police, but local Off
GERS believe that the assault may
have come during the highway
robbery to which Murphy is said
to have referred.
Murphy was received here on
October 20, 1920. He said his
fathers name was A. G. Murphy
of Hollywood, CaCl.
Murphy escaped while acting a:

In one year the Protestant church

total number OF members OF the
Catholic church in Berlin has re-

The Catholics are In the minority

The number Of Jews withdraw

"The most important reason for
the increasing army OF dissldents
IS the increasing church taxes.
But also the fact that the broad

as the instrument OF militaristic

plays a large role. The expert
