Negro Who Buncoed
Way From Prison Is
Found in Penitentiary

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, May u.
By the Associated Press.O-D. H.
Hays. alias James Manuel, the mil
lion-dollar negro who in May, 1922,
buncoed his way out of the Missouri
state penitertiary where he was held
under a charge of possessing fraudu-
lent papers with fraudulent inten-
tions, has been found, according to
announcement by prison officials
here today.
Hays or Manuel as he calls him
self. is serving nine years for forgery
in the Arkansas state prison at Lit
tie Rock, the penitentiary officers
said they had learned.
HAYS was convicted in Buchanan
county, Missouri, and sentenced 10
serve three years from December D.
1921. Shortly after his induction
into the prison he was notified by
persons on the outside that Oil had
been discovered on some land he IS
alleged to have owned in Mexico, ana
reports were that he was fabulously
rich. Letters continued to arrive at
the penitentiary. some offering nm
amounts. running into millions OIL
dollars for his land.
He played his part well, penlten-
tiary authorities said. He appeared
to be an ignorant negro and seemed
as surprised as anyone at his good
fortune"
Persons over the state became in
terested and efforts to obtain his re"
lease were made. 1t became known
that he had appealed his case IN
Buchanan county, but that he had
been unable to put up sufficient
bond. A petition for a writ OF habeas
corpus was submitted to the supreme
court which the court granted and
fixed bond at $4,000.

Sun spots, blamed for everything
in history, have been returning to
blot the suns escutcheon on an
average of once every eleven years

It denotes great activity in the sun,
and causes an increase in radiation.
However, it is usually cooler on
earth, probably because the spots
cause a cloudiness which reflects
the radiation"
1t is an interesting, yet not alarm

has been proven: that the suns heat
varies from day to day. So how can
one foresee disaster because today's
radiation is unusually low?
