FUGITIVE AUTHOR
FACES EXTRAD|T|ON
Robert Elliott Burns Held in
Newark Under $25,000
Bail.

BY the Associated Press
NEWARK, N. j., December IS
Robert Elliott Burns, chain gang fugitive
from Georgia, was held in $25, 900 bail
today to await eXtradition to the South.
The amount. of bail was fixed after
argument between Burns counsel and
Police Judge Harold Simandl.
Charles Handley, counsel for the
fugitive, argued that bail should not
exceed $1,000. He said Burns was a
good citizen, who had made one mistake
and had suffered heavily for it. Since
his escape. he said, he has been living
a model life.
Burns was arrested last night soon
after his brother. Rev. Vincent G. Burns
of Palisades, had pleaded against the
convict-author's arrest at Newark police
headquarters.
Convicted Of Hold-Up,
A native of Brooklyn, Burns was q
World War veteran and saw service in
| France. He wandered about aimlessly
when he was discharged and in At
larta, Ga, in 1921 took part in hold
up OF a grocery with two other men.
The three were captured and Burns
was sentenced to from 6 to 10 years.
He escaped in 1922 and went first to
Chicago, where he became a successful
magazine publisher. A woman found a
letter mentioning his chain gang days.
She threatened to tell police unless he
married her. They were married.
The same woman, however, brought
about his return to Georgia when he
asked Tor separation to marry
another. Burns was arrested in 1929
and, after legal battle, was taken
back to the Southern State. Many in
f1uential people had taken an interest
in his case.
Escapes Second Time.
There was hearing in July, 1890,
before the Georgia Prison Commission,
but no word came from that body
until the news that Burns had again
escaped.
He made his way north and since
then has held various jobs in New
Jersey. He was q reporter on Newark
newspaper for a short time, but the
newspaper halted publication. Then
he was dynamiter in a copper re-
finery in Chrome, N. J. Finally he
decided to write his experiences and
sold the result. which became a best
seller.

MeritS.".

TRENTON, N. j., December Is Up.
Gov. A. Harry Moore today an
nounced he would hear ION its merits"
the case of Robert E. Burns, arrested
in Newark as a fugitive from justice
in Georgia.
Burns, author of a recent book and
photoplay depicting alleged conditions
in Georgia chain gang from which
he twice escaped, appealed to the Gov
erncr during the Summer for assist
ance, should the Georgia authorities
attempt to return him to prison.
I will hear the case on its merits, :"
said Gov. Moore Until I have had
the facts formally presented to me I
cannot say what my decision will be-
The situation Is somewhat unusual.
Georgia has not submitted requisition
for Burns return to my office"
MIR. Moore reiterated that Burns
statements that he had been guaran-
teed protection from the Georgia au-
thorities were untrue.
II have made no promise not to re-
turn Burns. However, he has probably
served enough time for his offense,
which I understand was minor
Burns called by Gov. Moore yesterday
prior to arrest. He told the Governor
he had heard Georgia, had increased
the reward for his arrest to $3.50 and
would shortly seek to have him extra
dited.

COUNCIL WILL
 LAY CONCRETE
Members of Scout Group Will Put in New Floor
 at Eagle River Cabin

To assist with laying a concrete porch under the awning of the Scout cabin at Eagle River, all able-bodied members of the Juneau Boy Scout Council are asked to be at the camp site at noon Sunday.
 G. E. Krause, local contractor and concrete man will be on hand to supervise the project.
 This is one of the most import ant Improvements to be made at the Scout camp this year, inas- much as it will aid materially in keeping the cabin and cooking quarters in a sanitary condition.
 It is hoped the Council members will turn out in full force. Some weeks ago a call for work was is- sued and a poor turnout was the only result. Officials of the Coun- cil have called attention to the fact that unless all members ap- pear it will be impossible to com plete the work.
 The cement was taken to Eagle River this week by the Jazz, Capt. Cash Cole.
