INDIANA PRISON
/ HOLDS man OF
/ HEALING HANDS
Friends of Jimmie Walker,
Slayer of Two, Will Ask
CIemency.

BIZ United Press
ANDERSON, Ind, Aug. 17.-An-
derson citizens who remember Jim
mic Walker, now serving a life sem
tence in the Michigan City prison
for murder, are wondering whether
a murderer can atone for his crime
by saving lives as a physician and
surgeon.
Walker, who was hardly more
than boy at the time, sixteen years
ago conspired with Rufus Warren,
another Anderson youngster, to hold
up and rob pawn shop here. They
were caught in the act. Warren es-
capped, and Walker shot his way
to temporary freedom, killing Patrol
man Virgil Kirkham
Another attempt to capture the
killer resulted in the death of
John Ellis Alexandria police chief,
but Walker was surrounded and
captured in barn near F'rankton
q few days later.
Both Walker and Warren, who
was also captured, were tried and
sentenced to life Imprisonment and
Anderson had almost forgotten the
pair until stories began coming
from the prison recently telling of
Walkers wonderful ability as q
physician and surgeon.
According to the report, Walker
made the best of things at the
prison, became a trusty and served
as assistant in the hospital. He
worked hard, and little by little be-
came so efficient that doctors at
the institution began calling on him
for emergency surgical assistance
IF Jimmie could get out of prison
and could attend a medical college
for a few years, he would become
one of Americas finest surgeons"
said one man who is familiar with
conditions at the prison. "His
nerves are of steel and his knowl-
edge of medicine and surgery is
probably equal to that OF many
successful surgeons. If Jimmy had
chance now he would live to have
the respect and honor of the world.
Whether Walker ever will have
his chance is doubtful. He killed
two men, and under the law its the
lives taken and not the lives saved
that count. Friends in Anderson,
however, are planning to present his
case to Governor Jackson in the
near future. it is said, where they
will make the plea that a mature
man with healing hands has atoned
many times over for the crimes
committed by the young tough"
who used to be Jimmie Walker.

INDIANA OIL
FIELDS BOOM
Unprecedented Activity Re-
sported by Biologists.

First six months of 1927 has been
an oil boom in Indiana that has
surpassed activities of recent years
according to a survey just COM
pleted by the geology division of
the State Conservation department.
During this period 127 wells, with
an initial production of 1,704 barrels,
were completed, while in 1926 there
we're but sixty-seven wells with 800
barrels production.
Of wells drilled in the first six
months of this year, fifty-seven
were oil, fifteen gas and fifty-five
dry. Total production was 100000
barrels of oil, as compared to 285,000
in 1926. This is an average daily
production of 2,265 barrels. It is
estimated that there are 1850 pro-
ducing wells in Indiana today, al
though some of them are not
pumped regularly.
