TO KILL OFFICIAL
Atlanta Prisoner Says c. r.
Trotter of P. 0. Department
Was Intended Victim.

From Yesterdays $50 Edition OF The Star.
BY the Associated Press
ATLANTA. Ga. July 17.-How he had
attempted to assassinate Charles P.
Trotter. Deputy First Assistant Post
master General. in washington on July
Z. 1927, was related today by Harry M.
Deerap. who shot two postal inspectors
here yesterday.
Deeran declared he encountered Trot-
ter at the intersection of Ninth and Z
streets and tried to shoot him with the
same revolver with which he wounded
the inspectors here.
THE gun snapped" he told detec-
tives. People started after me as I
ran. but 1 escaped after chase of
several blocks"
He had wanted to kill Trotter,
Deeran said, because he believed the
deputy postmaster general had been in
strumental in keeping him out of the
postal service following his discharge IN
Boston in 1925.
Two Letters Disclosed.
Police turned over to newspaper men
the text of two letters which they found
on Deeran following his arrest yester-
day. One letter was addressed to the
Associated Press and detailed the Ar
menian's reasons for his acts. The let
ter related that Deeran had been dis
charged in Boston through frame-up
after rendering II years of faithful
service
The letter spoke of struggle for
existence for a man over so, with
record of dismissal from responsible
position in an industrial age and coun-
try where one over 40 and that be-
longing to a non-Nordic race has no
chance
Part of the letter was devoted to de-
scribing how the Armenian came TO
make the attempt on Trotter's life.
Was Again Recommended.
THE conscience-stricken postmas-
ter" said the letter, finding his mis-
take. did recommend my reinstatement
to the department in Washington, but
the department or rather Charles
Trotter, deputy to the First Assistant
Postmaster General, believing in the
report of Inspector WetherelI that
was dangerous man. did not approve
my reinstatement.
ION the It'll OF July. 1927, it was an
accident that saved the life of Charles
Trotter from becoming a victim of my
bullet. and it was a miracle that
escaped.
Deeran's letter blamed his Boston
troubles on my Socialistic views"
The statement of Harry NJ. Deeran
that he attempted to kill Charles +.
Trotter. Deputy First Assistant POST
master Generel, here in July. 1927.
came as a distinct surprise to Trotter
here this afternoon.
The postal official said that Deeran
had come here to see him, asking for
reinstatement, a year after his removal
n Boston for some .irregularity." whose
nature Trotter no longer recalled. but
Trotter said that he refused to recon-
mend that Deeran be given his place
back.
If Deeran saw him on the street after
leaving the Office in the Post once De-
nartment here, Trotter said that he was
unaware Of the encounter.
He Is inclined to the belief that the
~aputed attempt at assassination Is
agment of Deerans imagination.

PRESIDENT WARNS
/. HOOVER ON HEALTH
Executive Concerned Over
Physical Fitness of Re-
publican Nominee.
BY ]. RUSSELL YOUNG.


CEDAR ISLAND LODGE. BRULE
RIVER, Wis July 10. The impression
left here by Herbert Hoover upon those
who know him we'll Is that he had
better give more attention to his phys
ical condition for the present than to
his campaign for the presidency If he
expects TO carry on.
Considerable concern is being ex-
pressed today by Mr.. Hoover's friends
for his health. His brief visit at this
serene spot no doubt benefited him. and
as ne departed yesterday afternoon his
face was somewhat relieved Of the Sc
we're strain 1t showed upon his arrival,
but it was plain to be seen that he still
is in need Of plenty Of rest and quiet.
President Shows Concern.
President Coolidge is among those
who appeared concerned about the phys
ical fitness Of the nominee. He had
not seen the latter for more than five
weeks and he was. therefore. quick TO
note how worn and fatigued he looked
when they. first met in front of the
lodge Monday morning.
So affected was the President that
he made known his feelings TO Mr..
Hoover, and warned him to give
thought to his health. The latter was
represented as replying that he was
tired but that he felt perfectly well
otherwise. He assured the President
that there was no occasion for any
alarm about his health.
President Coolidge gave the impress
sion during MFR. Hoover's visit that he
was not only happy, but tremendously
proud 10 be with him. The impression
he gave on occasions when he and Mr..
Hoover appeared In public was that he
was as proud as IL they were running
for election together.
President May Speak.
The impression here Is that the Presi-
dent was greatly pleased with his con-
ference with Mr. Hoover, After listen
Ing TO the latter'S plan of campaign and
the draft of his acceptance speech, now
known completely to no one else but
the President, there is every reason
to feel that complete accord exists be-
tween the policies of the present ad-
ministration and the policies which MIR
Hoover intends to advocate during this
campaign. One of the significant in
dications of this accord Is the fact tina,
Mr.. Hoovers resignation to take effect
at the pleasure Of the President is moi
to be accepted Immediately
Despite his apparent WEAKNESS Mr.
Hoover said farewell to this North wood:
country yesterday with an expression or
his face indicating complete confidence
and resolution. The President had not
only left 10 his own discretion the mat.
ter Of determining the most conven-
lent date for announcing his retire.
ment from the cabinet between now ane
his return from the Pacific Coast ir
September but there is every reason
TO believe the President gave him II
understand that he could be depended
upon for personal support during tn
campaign; that the President. the mos
influential figure in public life In TIN
| United States. would make a speech
or two during the heat Of battle.

OSLO, July IA report was current
here today that fishermen found traces
OF the seaplane in which Road Amund-

The original version. which was very

Talk Of wheel marks was held to be suf-
