Portugal Turns Friendly
 Eyes Now Toward Brazil

LISBON, July 21.-The daring act of Portuguese aviators in flying from Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro, says the Seculo in an editorial article, has created a bond of union and amity between Portugal and Brazil and has ushered in the psychological mo- ment to improve existing political re- lations.
 Under the monarchy this seemed on the eve of accomplishment, the paper continues The King was about to visit Brazil, but his assassination prevented. The circumstances at that time were most opportune.
 The old question between England and Brazil of the Island of Trinidad had been settled by arbitration, and Portugal's course had won the sym pathy of Brazil Today the two coun- tries are uniting in their acclaim of the Portuguese flyers, and the mo- ment should be seized to reach mu- tually agreeable settlements of out standing problems.
 These the SeculO summarizes as follows: Nationalized and direct navi- gation; the establishment of radio communication; the making of Lisbon the port of distribution to Europe for Brazilian products, and treaty of emigration.
 h conclusion the paper points out tha1 Brazil has greater population than any Portuguese colony. and ex horts both Portuguese and Brazil ians to grasp this opportunity, and. as brothers of the same race to act together in full understanding and to their mutual advantage.

Shooting Is Completed.
Third Convict May Die
of Wounds

Verdict Of justifiable homicide
was rendered by Coroner j. D. Rus
sum Saturday afternoon following
his investigation into the death of
H. A. Johnson and George Matthews,
convicts at Flat Top mine, who
we're killed by mine guards as they
made an attempt, with four other
convicts, to gain their freedom early
Friday night.
The other convicts who attempted
to escape were.
Clarence Reeves, who Is thought to
have been fatally injured. He was
reported still living at the prison hos
pital late last night. but small hope
for his recovery is being entertained.
Frank Cook of Jefferson county and
Lenny Riley of Dale county were
slightly injured, were both resting
easily yesterday. Lorene jenkins.
Jefferson county. was uninjured.
Plan of Escape
In his investigation Coroner Rus
sum learned that the information
concerning the attempt to escape by
the prisoners had reached the prison
guards only a few minutes prior to
the scheduled time it was to take
place instead of five days, as was
first reported.
Warden Charles r. Davis testified
before Coroner Russum that they
received tip that the men were to
make their escape through the VEN
tilating fan located at shaft en-
trance, about $50 yards from the
prison yard. Davis stated that, ae-
companied by Deputy Warden w. A,
Bates and Yard Sergeant G, T. Ar
mour, he rushed to the fan door, ar
irving in time to find four Of the con-
victs, Johnson. Matthews, Reeves and
Jenkins on the outside of the en-
closure. Jenkins had seized Watch
man Smith from behind, Davis de-
clared.
Davis stated that they called to the
four prisoners to halt, and that when
they failed to obey the command he,
Armour and Bates all fired about
the same time. Johnson was killed
instantly. Matthews sustained
wounds from which he died few
minutes later and Reeves being shot
in the left arm. Jenkins was not
shot. due to the fact that he was
using the body of the night watch
man as a protector.
freed by Dogs
Davis said that Watchman Smith
shook himself loose from the grasp
of Jenkins, following which the lat
ter bolted through the fan enclosure.
but was recaptured seven miles from
the mine by bloodhounds. Davis
stated that at the foot of the tree
in which Jenkins was freed by the
dogs was found a 10-inch dirk knife.
manufactured from a file.
In accounting for the manner in
which Riley and Frank Cook were
shot, Warden Davis testified that
noises continued to be heard In the
fan room. following which several
shots were fired, some of them strik-
ing Riley and Cook, although they
were not seriously injured
Davis stated that between the re-
mains of johnson and Reeves, two
sticks Of dynamite were found laced
together with a three-inch fuse. The
dynamite had evidently been stolen
from the store house OF the mine and
was intended for use by the convicts
for their escape.
The statement of Davis was cor
/ roborated by Bates and Armour.
