All In a Day
BY
MARK HELlINOER

NEW YORK, May "a.
I've always liked characters And you can take my
word for the fact that Alabama fits into that category
His last name nobody knows but there those who say
he comes from fine Southern family. He's about 80 TO-
day should say and he's as thin election promise
If you met Alabama at house party you'd take him
for perfect gentleman Which, indeed he is-as far as
concerned. He has soft smile and Soter
draw He talks expery on various subjects and those
women who do mind pasy compilations for him in
a big way It's difficult make them believe that he IS
of America most notorious confidence men, and that
he has done time in plenty Of select iails.
The Washington times., 1932-05-24
Not a Mean Cuss

I met Alabama for the first
time a few weeks ago and I sat
with him for almost an hour.
The man amused me a great
deal, and his PHILOSOPHERS were
little short Of sensational. He
told me, for example, that his
brothers and sisters were all
people Of wealth and reputation.
You'll pardon my sloppy at
tempt to initiate his drawl, but
it's the best I can do under the
thu circumstances.
"Yo' see, Mr.. Hellinger," he
stated, "Ah'm not a mean cuss.
Take me apart and All don't
think you'll find a vicious bone
in nah body. Ah'm JUS like my
brothers and sisters 'cepting TO-
this one fact. Ah'm always too
damned tired to work TO- nah
money"
In one respect the man is
highly unusual. When a man
has served as many prison
term as Alabama he usually re-
sents the entire world. Not so
with this character. With him
it's a case Of lift and let lift.
He seems to bear no malice to-
ward anyone.
AS we talked, the converse
ton turned to corn liquor. How
and why, I know not. But
there it landed. And Alabama
smiled.
Brother" he chirped, "Ah
Suah do love that corn liquor.
AS long as All live Ah'm never
gonna forget the time that All
was doing a bit in a Southern
chain gang. And All hope that,
when All mention the chain
gang, All do not offend yo'
esthetic tastes"
I laughed.
mot at all, Alabama" I told
him. go ahead with your
story"
Well" he grinned, "after do
ing several odd chores around
the camp, All managed to save
enough to buy mahself a jug of
corn from one of the moon
sinners. All wasn't allowed to
leave the camp at that time, so
All had to make other arrange.

Through the usual prison

wise. there was no chance fo'

A sad look came into Ala

vent on. Although All didn't
know =, the keeper had been
wise to all the arrangements
right from the start"
Tough luck" I observed stu.
pidly. Then you didn't drink
the liquor, eh?"
He shoe. his head.
"No, suh," he returned. But
that amt the worst Of it. What
Alive never been able to un-
derstand is why the keeper
waited to shoot the jug right
out Of nah mouth"
His mention of the prison
camp intrigued me nightly. I
asked him to supply me with
some additional details on life
in Ich a camp. He told me
numerous things and finally
pulled up his right trouser leg
to reveal hideous scar.
"That came from another bit
All did with a chain gang" he
said. "The minute yo' start 2
bit in such surroundings, a leg
iron is attached to yo' leg. And
there it stays until yo' time is
up. When that lucky day ar
rives, yo' are taken in to the
local blacksmith and the iron is
removed. It's all very charm
ing, All can assure yo'."
Well, it seems that on this
particular bit. Alabama forgot
his corn whisky and behaved
himself to the limit. AS a re-
suit. he was rewarded by being
made a truSty. And among his
various duties was to drive into
town and bring back some of
the daily prison supplies.
when yo're a trusty, Mr..
Hellinger," he explains, "they
trust you-but not too far.
They take the ball from the
prisoners leg-but they make
doggone sure to attach yo' to
the wagon. And yo've then
got as much chance of run
ming away as you had before"
That infectious smile spread
across has face.
Up Against 1t
But All did have a lot of
fun as a trusty," he mused,
"in spite of being chained to
that wagon. On the very first
day All drove into town a
young gal flirted with me. And
All can tell you she was mighty
cute. So yo' can bet All flirted
back.
1.-The next day, there she was
again. All began to look fo'
her on the daily routine, and it
wasn't long fore she had grown
accustomed to coming out Of
her house and talking to me
alongside of nah wagon. That's
pretty swell when yo're nothing
but a member of chain
gang.
"One day, just as All was driv-
ing by, she hailed me from her
porch.
"'Hey, there Alabama she
cried in that lovely voice of
hers. come on inside TO- a few
minutes. All want yo' all to
see how nice nah house is in
side.'"
He stopped abruptly. I waited
but he failed to continue.
"Well," I asked impatiently,
what happened?"
He settled back in his chair
and gazed dreamily at the
ceiling.
"Mr. Hellinger," he sighed,
"if All could have dragged
that wagon through that door,
Ah'd be married right now!"
Great character, Alabama.
I've met few like him.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, May "a.
New York society has contributed
the latest aspirant to screen fame
in Hollywood.
She is Kendall Lee Glaenzer,
wife of Jules Glaenzer, of the
jewelry firm of Carriers. Besides
being a prominent figure in New
York and Continental society,
Mrs. Glaenzer is famous as
beauty.
She will make her screen debut
in the United Artists production
of Rain" Her role is that of
Mrs. McPhail, the doctors wife
in the picture. Playing opposite
her will be Matt Moore.
The decision of the society
beauty to take up film work
came through a meeting with
Lewis Milestone in New York. At
the time, the director laughingly
remarked that she was the type
Of personality he had in mind
for Mrs. McPhail.
To his surprise, she suggested
a screen and voice test.
They were successful and Mrs.
Glaenzer took the train for Holly.

Career As Convict
AS a matter of fact, the first
time I heard of Alabama was
when he was doing time on a
nearby island. 1t was shortly
before Christmas, and all OF the
inmates were busily engaged in
sending some sort of greeting
to someone for whom they
cared
Alabama watched them for a
awhile and then wandered over
to q prisoner who had several
cards in front Of him.
kin All borrow one of yo'
cards?" he asked. "Ah'd like to
send a little message to nah
folks down home"
The other prisoner said he
was sorry but that he couldn't
spare one. Alabama scratched
his head with a skinny finger.
''Tell you whut Ah'u do," he
asserted. "Ah've got one last
can Of spaghetti down in nah
cell. Ah'll trade it to yo' for
one Of those cards"
The prisoner agreed and the
swap was made. Alabama sat
himself down and addressed his
card so that no one could see
him. Still another inmate wan
dered over to him.
!! "Just saw what you did, Ala
bama," he chirped, "and think
it's pretty swell. There aren't
many mugs in here who would
swap their last can of spa
ghetti for a card to send to
home folk"
Alabama Snorted.
Home folk, hell" he NUT
tered. "Just sent that card to
mahself. All amt gonna let

FOR RELIEF LOANS
Gov. Pollard Appoints State
Treasurer and Controller
to Handle Funds.
Special Dispatch 20 The Star.


RICHMOND. Va, September 3d.
Attorney General Saunders, having held
that there were constitutional barriers
to the administration Of Federal relief
money through the State treasury, Gov
Pollard has appointed State Treasurer
John NJ Purcell and Controller E. r.
Combs agents to handle funds from the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
Applications for funds sent in by the
city of Hopewell and the counties of
Hanover Brunswick, Buchanan and
Tazewell were forwarded by the Gov
ernor to the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation. These called for S17,394,
$57,6OO. $4,000, sso,536 and s48,70O re-
spectively.
Governor Is Criticized.
Community chest leaders have criti-
ciZed the Governor on the ground that
his plan to use the Federal relief funds
in work on roads would not help the
unemployment situation in the cities.
Replying to this, the Governor said:
Critics Of the States policy appar-
emily were misinformed or poorly in
formed One hundred of the 125 cities
and towns in the State have been
visited already by engineers sent out
by this office in cooperation with the
educational institutions. The survey
of the needs Of the cities is more COM
plete than that of the counties.
I'VE held a conference of municipal
welfare officials last week and every
assistance that we can devise is being
given the cities in handling their
problems.
Will Benefit Cities.
The road work already planned will
benefit cities as well as counties, but
the cities have opportunities under
self-liquidating loan provisions of the
Federal act. which the counties do not
have, and the best technical and finan-
cial advice has been offered them so
that they may take prompt advantage
OF the relief available"
The Governor is to hold a confer
ence with representatives of the Vir-
ginia League of Municipalities october
to discuss general relief.
