Prisoners Make Liberty Bid
as Auto Speeds
Across State.

Shackled with double handouts,
Two fugitive convicts were en- route
from indianapolis to West Virginia
today, after they attacked two West
Virginia deputy sheriffs in an auto
in western Indiana early this morn
ing.
They slugged one deputy sheriff
and slashed the throat of another in
an automobile in which they were
en- route from Texas to West Vir-
ginia, but failed to gain liberty.
Deputy Sheriffs Harry Franklin
and c. H. Payne of Welsh, w. Va,
conveying Lloyd Moon, 20, and Aus
tin Hardwick, 90, to the West Vir-
GINA penitentiary, were victims of
the attack.
Obtained RazOr-Like Knife
They had lodged their prisoners in
the Miami (Okla) jail on Monday
night, and there Moon and Hard
wick obtained, from another pris-
oner, knife with a razor edge and
an iron bar about twenty inches
long.
About six miles east of Marshall,
Ill, this morning, Hardwick, hand
cuffed to Moon, grasped Franklin
and cut his throat. The wound
however, was not serious. The car
was travelling about sixty-five miles
an hour, the deputies said.
"Give me that gum Hardwick de-
nlanded.
Payne SIugged, Unconscious
Moon slugged Payne on the head
with the iron bar and Payne fell
unconscious.
Hardwick and Franklin struggled
for possession of the gun until
Franklin fell out and the car
plunged into a ditch. He covered
the prisoners with his gun and with
the aid of two truck drivers who
stopped got Hardwick and Moon
into the car with double handouts
on them.
Payne was revived and the quar-
tet came on to Indianapolis. They
expect to reach West Virginia to-
night.

the curtain will drop on the
desperate fight of the ac-
cused man for freedom.
A crowd of unprecedented proper
tons showed and fought through
the courtroom doors.
Prosecutor Herbert Wilson began
the states closing argument when
the gavel fell, and f1fty-five minutes
later surrendered his place before
the jury to Ira Holmes, Schroeder'S
attorney.
Holmes Starts Argument
Holmes made half of his argu-
ment by the noon adjournment, and
was to finish, he said, by 3.
Floyd Mattice, chief deputy pros
ecutor, was to make the states final
plea, requiring less than an hour,
he said.
Jurors probably will receive the
case by p. m. after. Judge Frank
P. Baker reads his instructions.
Opening his plea, Wilson reviewed
the testimony Of forty states wit
nesses who appeared before the jury
in the thirteen days Of the trial.
Wilson, for the first time, limited
at an alleged plot between Schroe-
der and his wife Leah to plan the
perfect crime and go their separate
ways
Would Split Insurance
The plot, Wilson limited, was for
Schroeder to disappear and they
would split the $22,5OO insurance -
IF society ever finds itself un-
able to convict man under such
circumstantial evidence as this
then society is in drastic predica-
ment," Wilson continued.
1T is the solemn duty of you
jurors to send this man to death in
the electric chair-the only salts
faction for a crime the magnitude
of Schroeder's.
Recalling the brief and abruptly
ended defense case, in which only
three witnesses took the stand to
give testimony of comparative I'M
Importance, Wilson said.
1.-THE defense has done nothing to
give you, the jury, the facts. All
the evidence introduced in this case
was offered by the state. 1t is such
a case that the state asks the death
penalty-nothing else-we ask it
with all our heart
Sons Hear Father Branded

man heard their daddy" branded

brought to justice. One Of them

 Alaska still remains Uncle Sam's last frontier. We haven't heard SO much about it since the gold rush except through the moving pictures, but it, e is not a barren land of ice and snow as many. people seem to believe. It's farming prospects are considerable and it's natural. resources are great. Writing on modern Alaska Tn the current issue of the National Republic, Lucy Salamanca says in part:
 Ut is only within the last 30 years that the latent resources of Alaska have become suffici- ently known to be considered an c.sset. The value of furs ship red from the territory in 1928 was estimated to be $4,290,637. Exclusive of acquatic furs, the Bureau of Fisheries estimated the value of fisheries products for 1928 as $54,545,58 ap- proximately 96 per cent of which sum was derived from salmon fisheries alone. Miner als valued at approximately

S600,O00,00o have been taken out of the territory, 42 per cent of this coming from the placer nlining of alluvial deposits, B per cent from the copper mines and 20 per cent from lode gold deposits. The other five per cent includes such miscellan- eous sources as silver, tin, lead platinum, palladium, antimony, quicksilver and the non metallic minerals, coal, petroleum, mar ble, gypsum and graphite.
 "The United States paid Rus- sia $7,200,0O0 in gold for this vast country. In 100 days in 1906 the city Of Nome alone produced $7,500 900 in gold, and the total gold production for 1929 was close to- $8,000,0O0. In every five years fur-bearing an- jmals exclusive of seals, more than pay for Alaska. The Ter tory has. already::. produced more than billion and a half dollars in new wealth. And the surface, old timers tell us, has net yet been scratched!
 "One of the greatest factors

By I. s. Horne,

Wild Beast Merchant, Pasadena,
 Calif., and Kansas City, Mo.
 On many occasions have Deen asked what animals of a fur producing variety are most profitable and at the same time suitable for Alaska, and have always replied-nearly all vari- cites of fur bearers are both suitable and profitable.
 We hear of hard times, money shortages, and millions of peo- pie out of work all over he world, but do you see the ladies of the land stinting themselves on clothes, jewels and fine furs? You do not, and SO long as the human race ex- ists, fur of all kinds will be in demand, and Alaska will pro- c'ce the best in the market.
 Fur farming is but in it's in- fancy. Silver and Blue Foxes have been produced for many years, have sold for fabulous prices, far more than their value. but any fox farm in exist ence, if properly managed and in a suitable locality, will al- ways pay good, big profits.
 Alaska is an ideal country in which to breed food and fur bearing animals such as Skunk (Odorless), Raccoon, Beaver, Coypu Rats (the giant South American fur rat sold as Nutria on the market), Mink, Fitch, White Foxes, Badgers and fur bearing rabbits, and these ami mals not only produce prolifi- cally, but produce good tasty food as we'll as fine fur.
 The Raccoor, Mink, Badger, and Foxes can be fed on a fish or Reindeer meat diet with little else. These foods are cheap and easy to produce, or should one so desire, he can raise fur rabbits for their pelt
The Alaska fisherman., 1931-06-15


 The writer, as well as many of his friends, has made many thousands of dollars profit out of these little fur-bearers, and at the same time had an ex- oremely pleasant time doing so. Hence, he knows from personal experience what can be done with fur-bearing animals if any one will expend little money to start, and then give the pro- INctiOn of furs and food req sorable amount of time and at- tentiOn.
 Thousands Of you Alaskans are missing a good bet if you pass up such opportunities.
