Law Missed Him After Shooting
 In Chicago

But federal operatives knew more than they did. Tracing a telephone cali drew attention to No 6612. The call had brought in- formation to the golf-playing Moore while he was on the links that Frank Nash, convict, was being returned to Fort Leaven- worth from Hot Springs.
 Moore returned from the golf course to the little bungalow on Edgevale road to plan with his "out-of-town guests" the desperate crime to free Nash.
 For the golf-playing V. c. Moore was none other than Verne c. Miller, renegade sheriff from South Dakota, machine gunner and pro fessional criminal.
 Investigators pieced the story together. The innocent = looking bungalow on Edgevale road had been Miller's "hide-out" and re- spectable front" The callers were associates in the professional crim- inal world.
 Linked With Desperadoes
 Definite connections between Miller and George Machine Gun" Kelly and Harvey Bailey were un- covered, especially in connection with the Urschel Kidnapping case. Kelly and Bailey are on the inside looking out to-day, and that is the best luck Miller can look forward to.
 For beside the Union Station massacre, the Urschel case and mali robbery in Kansas City, Sep tember 22, Miller Is wanted on .sus- picion of being connected with whole series of bank robberies and the Kidnapping of Haskell Bohn Tn St Paul and Charles Boettcher in Denver.
 His sensational escape after be- ing cornered in a Chicago apart ment will help him little. Miller opened fire on the law before the planted machine guns could get in- to action, and escaped in low white roadster driven by woman.
 The car. bullet-pierced and blood shattered, was found later. aban- doned on 8 Chicago street corner.
 A New York license plate 1t bore led to the speedy arrest of two Bronx truckmen in New York who admitted having obtained it fraud ulently.
 Thus the trail grows narrower for Verne Miller, the quick-shoot- ing sheriff who couldn't keep his hands out of the till.

But somehow he couldn't get going. After a year he went to the Twin Cities, and word began to slip back that he had some pretty shady associates there. Be- cause he hadn't ben able to keep his hands out of the till, Miller had sacrificed an honorable career. Now it was too late.
 He had little to sell but his skill with weapons. He passed from the knowledge of the people here who had known him as the sheriff who liked to shoot.

 Just Retiring Folks
 Nobody paid much attention to the retiring Moores. Neighbors noticed that there usually were three or four cars parked in front, with out-of-state licenses. They sell dom were the same cars.

 Then one day neighbors noted that daily papers began to pile up on the porch. Strange! The win- dows were open, as though the family only had gone downtown for the afternoon. Gradually it became clear that the people at No 6612 had vanished.
 Even when Kansas City reeled under the shock of the news that four peace officers and convict had been moved down ruthlessly Nby machine gun fire in front of the Union Station, Edgevale road resi- dents never connected it with the golf playing Moore. Why should they?

See Increased Use
Of Medicinal Liquor

Washington, May 15.-(P)-The
pint-a-week limit on medicinal liquor
Is off.
Beginning Monday, physicians may
prescribe as much as they think their
patients need and they don't have to
tell the government what the ailments
are that require whisky treatment.
AS a result, federal officials look
for sharp rise in medicinal liquor
consumption.
The American Medical association
advocated lifting the regulations on
liquor prescriptions. Congress COM
piled this spring, this being the Sec
ond Of the prohibition laws since
March 4. Legalization of 80 beer and
wine was the first.
Under the new regulations virtual
ly all the restrictions Of physicians
are lifted. Only when q physician
prescribes for patient for an extend
ed period Of months must he notify
the government Of the amount. But
he will not be required to reveal the
ailment except on specific request of
an enforcement agent who, in turn,
must have direct authority from a
superior.

Tear Gas Is Used Against

Sheriff's Deputies Release vap.
or in Trying to Halt Two
Demonstrations

Shawano. Wis. May 15.-F-Sev-
eral hundred milk strikers Monday
resisted tear gas when they dumped
milk headed for plant at Bonduel
east of here. Deputy Sheriff Paul
Roepke was struck on the head with
a club. He retaliated by knocking
down his attacker and then stood of
the crowd with his pistol.
The milk plant was closed agains.
the strikers and the milk was dumped
at its doors in cloud Of gas released
by deputies.
It was the second time during the
strike that tear gas was used by Of
ficials seeking to halt strike activities
The first use was Sunday when
sheriff's deputies used 1t in a figh:
against 400 farmers who dumped 80
600 pounds of milk en- route to Chi
|cago. A new supply Of the gas was
rushed to that area by plane from
Chicago.
Only IS deputies were on duty at
the time and to disperse the battling
crown they said they had to resort to
tear gas. Later In the day force of
Walworth county deputies arrived
and escorted trucks over highways
deserted, by then, of pickets.
Winnebago, Sheboygan, Milwaukee,
Racine and Kenosha county deputies
also were poised for action as city
health commissioners sent trucks de-
signated with red crosses into the
country to get milk for children and
the sick.
Leaders of the Wisconsin coopera-
tive milk pool agreed to suggestions
that milk be allowed to go through
for children and the sick, but insisted
that it be handled through their or
ganization. Governor A. G. Schmede-
man refused to allow health commits
sioners to deal with the pool or any
other group of farmers.
