Escaped Convict Captured In Bisbee,
Says He Went ACQUIRING From Prison
To Casa Grande And Was Locked Out

BISBEE, Jan. 2O-(P-That "stone
walls do not prison make nor iron
bars cage" may be trite, does not
detract from its accuracy in the opin-
ion of John Graft, convict, recently
escaped from the Arizona penitentiary
at Florence, who told police here to-
day that he had been "a courting" on
theA night he was missing from the
prison and did not return because he
knew he would be locked out.
While police could not verify CRAFTS
amazing recital, his escape, they said,
lent some credence to his nonchalant
assertion that he frequently left the
prison by a method of his own and
made nightly sojourns with a COM
panon to Casa Grande, where he
knew two young women. The convict
said the only difficulty was that he
had to be back inside the "stone
walls by 8 o'clock or he found him.
self locked out" Declaring that the
penitentiary is much harder to get
into than out of, Graft explained that
he had served 10 years of a life sem
tence, was trusty on duty in the
bakery, and besides, was ''well be-
haved prisoner" adding that he had
frequently purloined one of the prison
doctors cars and with his prison mate
went for nocturnal "joy rides" to see
their girls" 1t was on one such a
night that the borrow automobile
ran out of gasoline and, the convict
said, he hesitated to return late to the
prison for fear of not being able to
get inside.
After enlarging on his peregrina-
tions during several weeks past, Graft
departed with his captor a Texas of
ficer, after inviting the local chief of
police to "come and see me some time
and I'll buy you a drink-real stuff.

Chipps was killed by Norris in the

He was placed on the stand by MS
counsel to testify as to the previous
indictments in an attempt to fore
stall questions by the state as to
these charges of IA years ago.
The jury was excused while Norris
was on the stand and the lawyers

BOY MAROONED
ON ICE FLOE
IN LAKE ERIE

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 90 (P)-The
fate of boy, cast adrfit on a cake of
ice in Lake Erie by sudden thaw,
tonight remained a mystery locked in
the pounding ice field off shore
A search lasting nearly "a hours
was abandoned late in the day when
the John H. Farley, city fireboat, re-
turned to her moorings after forcing
her way through the floes along the
shore nearly 25 miles in both direc-
tions in both directions.
Earlier low visibility had defeated
the efforts of two men in an airplane
who for several hours churned the
thick pail Of fog and snow overhang-
ing the lake in futile effort to locate
the castaway.
1--WE have done everything we cam
the captain declared. "The ice ION
which the boy was seen was undoubt-
edly blown ashore last night or today.
We searched the point to which the
ice would drift, but found nothing. He
probably was drowned or crushed be-
tween the ice cakes"
The marooned person was sighted
last night from shore just as darkness
IeI over the water. Ine search was
started at once. Several attempts to
launch small boats failed, and Edwin
d. Barry, commissioner of safety, or
dered out the lifeboat. It's searchlight
played over the field of heaving ice
until nearly dawn, when it put into
shore briefly before starting the day
light search.
While the hunt was on police re-
newed their effort to find seven boys
missing in the hope that they might
fnid some clue to the identity of the
ice victim. While hope for his return
had been virtually abandoned, they
had in mind the experience less than
a week ago of George Edwards an
other Cleveland boy, who was ma
rooned by a break in the ice, but who
made his way to water intake five
miles from shore, where he remained
two days before returning to land.

The size of the majority against ad-

During the closing hours of what

OF CONFERENCE

GENEVA, Jan. 20 lP).-An inter-

to study means of combating the
growing illicit trade in habit-form-
ing drugs was unofficially suggested
here today as practical step toward
meeting an evil which is causing
growing apprehension.
Members of the league of nations
undoubtedly would prefer Geneva,
but it is believed that Premier Mus

go to Washington or anywhere else
unless the league succeeds in ach1ev-

convention.
Cavazzoni, his delegate to the
leagues advisory commission on
opium now in session, has given
warning that the time has arrived
to establish a ration system and to
limit the factory output of narcotics
in each county to medical ana
scientific purposes, thereby support-
ing the recent American note to the
powers urging stricter observance or

shows a steady increase in drug
