the permission of relatives of Har-

in the county Jail, for an autopsy
to determine if drugs had been ad-
ministered the prisoner during the
weeks that he passed in a coma
prior to being hanged on the gal

Church's mother and father re-
fused to allow further investiga-

the expressed conviction of the
coroner that other influences than
the mental breakdown of the man
had caused his abnormal state.
The body will be cremated and
the ashes carried back to Adams,

the boy drove triumphantly a few
months ago in the automobile

GUARD ACCUSED
OF PLOT TO AID
PRISON ESCAPE

Fort Madison, Iowa, March "A
plot to provide means for the escape
from the state prison here of Will
liam Olander, convicted murderer
from Fort Dodge, Iowa, was re-
yealed here today with the arrest
of J. w. Davis, a guard rat the penl-
tentiary.
Davis was arrested at the post
Office when he called for a package
in the name of George Hall. This
package, it is said by the police,
was said to contain 5000 in cash
and was to have been sent by
sister of Olander. He was given
preliminary hearing on a charge
of attempting to aid prisoner to
escape, entered a plea of not
guilty, and was released on bonds
of $500.
Davis, who has been a guard at
the prison for 20 years, denies that
he intended to assist Olander in an
attempt to escape. He is said to
have admitted, however, his inten-
tions of delivering the package, ad-
dressed to George Hall, secretly, to
Olander.
Late developments this afternoon
indicate that Ira Pavey, sentenced
to be hanged May II, was involved
in the plot to escape from the pris-
on. He Is from Sioux City.

LIFE OF CHILD
SAVED RESULT

Dorothy Cannon, Pick
ed Up for Dead Aft
er Texas Accident.

Dallas, Texas, March dorothy
Cannon, 6 years old, who has un-
dergone Ia serious operations and
As skin grating applications, will
be discharged from a hospital here
within another month"; well child
doctors declared today.
Dorothy was given up as dead
when she was found lying on a live
wire in a puddle of water last June
and then looked upon as hopeless
case for two months after she was
brought to the hospital.
How long she lay on the wire be
fore she was discovered is not
known. When her mother found
her the clothing had been burned
away and her body was black
from the effects. ------
Members of the family and many
people who became acQuainted
with the little girl through her i'll
ness insisted on giving skin.
"The only trouble we have had,
the surgeon in charge said, "is Sc
lecting dates for the skin appli
cants. There were always toe
many present trying to give theil
skin"
Dorothy will be dismissed from
the hospital with few visible signs
of the agoniZing condition which
kept her on her back for nin'
months, doctors said.
