Georgia Fugitive.
By MARION F. COLLINS

NEWARK, N. j., Dec. 16. = I'M
mediate extradition of Robert Ell
lott Burns, Georgia chain gang
fugitive, was foreStalled today as
the governor ordered formal
hearing on the requisition request,
probably at Trenton tonight.
AS Governor A. Harry Moore's
attitude became known, friends Of
Burns, World war veteran and au-
thor of "I Am a Fugitive from
Chain Gang" organized to pre-
vent his return to Georgia to fin
ish a sentence for a $4.80 holdup.
The Civil Liberties Union and the
Vanguard Press, which published
Burns book, offered him free
counsel.
Burns himself led the fight
against extradition, issuing an ap-
peal to the public from his cell in
the Newark Jail.
81 am before the people of the
state of New Jersey pleading for
simple justice, he said.
81 am not criminal in any
manner or sense of the word. I
am looking for the sense of JUS
tice and mercy of New Jersey to
save me from certain death if I
return to Georgia.
Burns in his cell last night, told
of some strange events since he
came to this state in 1890.
'FWhen first came to New Jer-
sey," Burns said, certain people
went to Governor Larson (Mor-
gan L. Larson, Moore's predeces-
sor, and asked him to protect me.
AS understand it, Governor Lar
son said to them: I can't prom
iSe, but we'll crack that nut when
we come to it; We have cracked
harder nuts than that"
Governor Moore also knew Burns
was in the state as far back as
1881. The executive revealed that
the fugitive and his brother, the
Rev. Vincent Burns, pastor of the
Union Church of Palisade, N. j.,
had visited him three times.

said, "the brother explained to me
that Burns was living a good life.
told them not to worry, but ]
made no promises"
ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 16. U.P)-
Gov. Richard B. Russell, Jr., OF
Georgia, told the United Press to-
day Robert Elliott Burns, widely
publicized Fugitive From a Geor-
gia Chain Gang" will have to "take
his medicine like any other high
way robber."
"It is unthinkable," he said, that
New Jersey authorities will not
promptly honor our requisition for
the immediate extradition of this
man."

| Chesterhill Wins Deciding Game
A good crowd of rabid baseball
fans were we'll repaid for their sup
port last Sunday, when the Chester
hill and Golden Rule teams put on
a fine exhibition of the game, at
the county fair grounds. The teams
having played two games earlier in
the season, each winning a single
contest, were decidedly on edge for
the odd battle. Morgan for Ches-
terhill and Messerly for the Golden
Rules matched slant with ''firebalP'
through eight well played innings.
Opening the final chapter with Il
scant lead of to 2, the Chesterhill
batsmen greeted the southpaw artist
from the county seat with dev-
astating barrage Of base hits. Five
runs on as many hits without SIN
gle man being retired, soon found
their way into the books. Before
relief hurler could be produced,
Chesterhill had the game in pro-
verbal bag The Golden Rule men
made only half-hearted gesture
to close the fracas. All in all it
was simply matter of the better
team winning well earned de-
cision. The play was marred much
too frequently through misjudg
ment, and lack of alertness on the
part of both teams, with the more
numerous occasions credited to the
losers. AS the closing of very sue
cessful season, the play of the Ches-
terhill team served notice on the
baseball talent of the county that
they will make a strong bid for anv
mythical championship hohors avail
able. The officials, Spung of Malta
and Woodward of Chesterhill, did
fair and square job in seeing that
each team received favor. They left
no room for any justifable COM
plant. Surely next season will
find these truly capable teams offer
ing fine brand Of ball to delight
the many fans withing this and ad
joining counties.

Linda stared in amazement. After

their pique so fatty. But she

with all her native wit and charm

She succeeded in launching him

tale Of foreign adventure. 1t consist

His mind ran to efficiency, even

penance to Linda's untechnical
mind.
