A Duty; Do It!
(EDITORIAL)

THE STAR views with qualification the announce
i ment by one member of the board of county COM
missioners that he will seek to have the board sit
ting investigating committee, probe the charges
that have been made against County Auditor d. E.
Ferguson
Ordinarily The Star doesn't believe in giving heed
to anonymous charges. But the complaints, made
in the letter received by Judge Everett Smith, and
purporting to be from Ferguson's employees, are
similar to rumors that have been floating about for
months. They charged that employees in the auditors
office have been compelled to contribute out of their
salaries and that this money was used in paying
personal expenses of the auditor. Ferguson says
there is no truth in the charges
It's the duty of the county commissioners to nves
tigate promptly. Truth falsty of the statements
must be determined at If they are false Fergu
son must be given clean slate publicly If they
are true, he must be rebuked in the way that is
most fitting.
It's the duty of all other county officers to get
soldly back of the commissioners in this investiga
lion for their own good well as the good of the
public For such stigma, if proved true attaches
itself not only to office but to the entire county
administration.

Fugitive Caught in Baltimore
Tells How He Played Ped
dIer Here for Week After
Escape

BALTIMORE, Md, Feb, 1.-THE
first story of how he and three con-
federates dug the 40-foot tunnel by
which they escaped from the Atlanta
federal penitentiary on December
so was related here today by Hiram
Lepper, the fifty-seven-year old
convict, who is held by local police
charged with passing counterfeit $40
bills.
Lepper escaped with Ludwig
Schmidt and George Anderson,
serving long terms for completely
in the million-dollar mail robbery al
Toledo, Ohio, and Frank Haynes, al
legged counterfeiter, none Of whom
have been recaptured. He declared
that he originated the idea of es-
Gaping and did most Of the work in
digging the tunnel.
Lepper told the police that he be-
gan work in September, 1928, and
dug every night until the escape
was accomplished. The dirt, ex-
cavated a bucketful at a time, was
taken from the tunnel and placed
around flower beds while the guards
watched, he said The break for
liberty was made at noon on Deem
Der 80, while the other prisoners
were at lunch.
Lepper said that he and Haynes,
who is described as a dope addict,
hung around Atlanta for more than
week after the escape, begging
money on the streets and selling
cheap rings to negroes. He said that
the rings were purchased in Atlanta
five and ten-cent stores and resolG
to negroes for 81 each.
The position from which Lepper
began to dig the tunnel was fourteen
feet from the prison wall, he said,
and was located under the tent in
which he was CHARTERED because he
had developed tuberculosis. He first
dug a pit ten feet deep, and then be-
gan to tunnel towards the wall, Gov
ering the opening when prison
guards made their inspections.
Haynes, he said, helped him in the
work, but gave constant trouble, and
he had to feed him dope. He said

that dope was easier to get in the
Atlanta penitentiary than in Balti-
more. His tools-a pick and shovel
were kept sharp by Schmidt and An
derson, who worked in the prison
machine shop.
Lepper said he decided to escape
after he had been refused five years
deduction for good behavior because
of alleged violation of prison rules.
He said he came to Baltimore Wed
nesday. Police picked him up after
they had been notified to watch out
for a man who was depositing 81
with rooming house proprietors and
getting change for bill, apparent
ly of a $40 denomination, but which
police say was a 81 bill, crudely
raised to the higher denomination.
He has confessed, according 20 the
police, and says he has worked the
same game in Norfolk, Richmond
and Washington.

Mr.. Hendricks declared that the

farmer in the killing of his son-in'

mer secretary asked.
IF you please"
I'm any particular placer"
mo, so that you may be within
call"
While the crowd was making its
slow egress through the main doors.
Mr.. Fall returned to the ante-room.
1t was five minutes before the room
could be cleared and the committee
take under consideration behind
closed doors the unexpected develop
ment in the proceedings.
The disappointed spectators took
up places outside, crowding the cor
ridors in three directions. Suddenly
the door to the ante-room was open
ed and Mr.. Fall appeared, assisted
by friends. He made his way rather
labor;ously down a corridor to the
office OF Senator Elkins. of West
Virginia, where he reclined on a
couch to await further word from
the committee.
Crowd Is Disappointed
Although the executive session
dragged on for an hour. those who
had come in search of further SEN
sationS stuck to their posts, only to
be disappointed again by an an
nouncement that the committee had
adjourned until next Tuesday at 10
a. m. Mr.. Fall was appraised OF
the decision Of the committee to re.
call him at that hour and he left
| the building, returning to the Zevely
home.
Later in the day his counsel called
on Chairman Lenroot with a re-
quest that the former secretary be
| permitted to go to some nearby
place over the weekend to rest and
recuperate. Mr.. Cooke was inform
ed that Mr.. Fall would be required
to be present next Tuesday and on
! the basis of this information plans
were made for the former secretary
| to spend the intervening two days
| in a nearby suburb.
In its executive investigations OF
Mr.. Falls statement there was some
talk of contempt proceedings, but
in the main the committee addressed
itself to the rather unexpected chal-
lenge of its authority to so forward
on the ground that the original au-
thority called for hearings only IN.
til the new congress assembled.
Finally Senator Walsh made a
motion, which prevailed, that the
committee ask the senate to readopt
the original resolutions providing
for the investigation, thus with its
authority reaffirmed after the adop-
ton of the Walsh annulment reso-
luton. the committee will again give
Mr.. Fall opportunity to make any
statement he may desire and to sub,
NIT himself for examination. Should
