Dutch Anderson Escaped
 From Atlanta by Tunnel

Atlanta. Ga, Aug. Is IP-George CDutch") Anderson, charged with complicity in a double killing at Munice, Ind, escaped from the fed eral penitentiary here a year and a half ago, tunneling his way under the prison walls with two compan- ions.
 Anderson's getaway followed the sensational escape of his confederate, Gerald Chapman. by several months. Chapman's daring departure was under the eyes of guards and accom- panied by hail of bullets, which resulted in the wounding of the mo- torious robber.
 The escape Of Anderson was un- discovered by prison officers until the prisoner had successfully left the penitentiary and gained some distance on pursuers, Authorities believed that the tunnel under the walls must have required from one to six months to dig.
 Whereabouts of Anderson since his escape have been a mystery to prison authorities here. At sundry times reports of his alleged activities would reach federal officers. but every effort to effect his recapture proved vain.

Judge Groehl Doesn't
 Think Anderson Slayer

Monterey, Vt. Aug. 15--Judge Frederick J. Groehl, Chapman's senior counsel, when notified of the murder of Hance and his wife, said:
 "Offhand, I would say that l don't think Anderson had anything to do with 1t, They cant help Chapman by reprisals, That's self evident. Of course, that is only my opinion but there could be no incen- tive. Hance's testimony didn't hurt Chapman seriously. Chapman did not deny that he had stayed with Hance and Hance was unable to swear that he saw Chapman hand ling those guns and other articles. He wasn't sure when I asked him whether they were Chapnan's or the other mems belongings. It's a ter rihls thing, but I don't think An derson would be foolish enough to think he could help Chapman that way"

Of feeling. I started running and

They walked on a few PAGES. Then
Ember said:
Captain March will probably come
down here again. I managed 10 save
you from an interview with him this
time, but if he comes again, and if
he sees YOU, remember there is only
one safe way for you-you know
nothing, you never have known any
thing, as far as you are concerned
there is nothing to know. You
shouldn't find that difficult You
have quite talent for not knowing
things. Improve it" He paused,
smiled slightly, and went on, You
said just now that it was frightfully
stupid of you to be frightened Some
times, Miss Renata. it is a great deal
more stupid not TO be frightened
Believe me, this is one of those
times"
They walked home in silence.
