Nathan Leopold, Youthful Slayer OF
Young Bobby Franks, Mentioned In
Investigation OF Prison Delivery
TWO STORIES ARE TOLD
In CONNECTION WITH
REQUEST TO JOIN
FLEEING CONVIcTS
tBy Associated Press,

JOLIET, ILL.,, May 8.-Two
stories involving Nathan Leopold,
slayer of Bobby Franks, one that
he refused an opportunity to flee
with seven convicts from State
vile prison Wednesday and an
other that he pleaded to be TAX
en- along and was refused, have
come out of the investigation Of
the escape.
Leopold. who is serving a life
sentence with Richard Loeb, af-
ter conviction in one of America't
most sensational criminal trials,
said he declined to join the seven
fleeing convicts, four Of whom
have since been captured. His
statement was made to HjaImar
Rehn. states attorney. who is di-
recting the grand jury investiga-
tion Of the prison break,
A different story is told BY
Jacob Judnieh, one Of the guards
wounded by the escaping convicts.
He related that Leopold had ask
ed to be taken along, but that his
request was refused.
Leopold was confined in the
isolated house in which Deputy
Warden Klein had his office and
whore the latter was killed by the
convicts in making their break.
AS Klein's slayers passed down
the corridor they unlocked several
cells with keys taken from a guard
and asked Leopold if he wished
to join them, he said.
Leopold denied he had any
knowledge of the escape plot.
A new lead in the prison in
vestigation was.sbelievea by off
eials to have been obtained when
States Attorney REIN took pos
session Of series of penciled
notes found in the slain deputy's
office. The prosecutor said they
were 50 important that the con

MARBLEHEAD, Mass, May 8

/ MARbLE1EAD, mass, May o.
In fascinating and authorita-
tive book, Blockade Running
During the Civil War;" just pub
lished under the auspices of the
Salem Historical society, and writ.
ten by Francis 3. C. Bradlee of
this town, interesting items con-
cern:ng Key West, Fla, appear in
several places.
Who in Key West today will re-
s.asnber the eerog steamer salyor.
formerly the M. S. Perry7 Or the
Ella Marley, formerly the Isabel?
In his entertaining book of several
hundred pages, the following ref
erencess appear.
Another early blockade runner
was thef screw steamer Salvor, at
one time named the M. S. Perry.
She vas former Great Lakes
boat, built of oak at Buffalo, N. Y,
by an insurance company in 1856;
$50 tons, 161 fit. long, 25 1-2 feet
beam. When the war broke out
the Salvor was the property of
Mr.. Mckay of Key West, Fla, and
the crew, consisted largely of
slaves belonging to himself and his
mother-in-law.
Captain Mckay was a .Confed-
crate sympathizer and in order to
get his steamer away from the
Federal authorities at Key West,
which place was controlled by the
United States during the whole
war, he sent her to Havana.
There sham sale of the Sal
vor was made to a British subject,
a cargo taken in cons sting of 200
sacks of coffee. 100000 cigars,
400 revolvers. number of rifles.
dirks, a 6-pounder fed piece,
quantity of felt caps, hats, shoes,
100000 percussion caps. and a
quantity of fruit-all articles
much needed in the Southern
;tates.
"The steamer was then cleared
nominally for Nassau, but her real
destination was Tampa, Fla, when
she was captured near the Tortu-
gas Islands by the U. S. S. Key
stone State, Commander G. II.
Scott. Soon after, the Salvor was
sent to New York, condemned by
he Admiralty Court and sold by
the u. S. Marshal. She was well
known later as a freighter running
on the Metropolitan line between
Boston and New York"
There is an interesting refer
enee to Key West again in Mr.
Bradlee's book in the following
paragraphs: THE first outward
cargo sent from Charleston
through the blockade was the
steamer Ella Warley. formerly the
Isabel, with full cargo Of cotton
10 Nassau This venture was made
by John Fraser & Co, one Of the
leading mercantile houses in
Charleston, and its success demon
strated the possibility OF sending
out cotton to pay for arms, ammu-
milton and general supplies.
For several years prior to the
war the Isabel had run between
Charleston, Key West and Ha-
vana as q mail steamer. receiving
a postal subsidy Of $500 per
annuna from the United States
Government. 7"
