We 'watermen" have never asked for
any help until this winter, when we
asked for the caannel through Meals
Sound. Diggiug this channel is no idle
dream but necessity-yet no attention
has been paid to our plea.
And it is my impression that unless
the "watermen" get some consideration
soon, he will wake up, and in the future
more will be heard from him.

There had been trouble over the
strike before, of course, and a
lot of us girls got punched in the
nose or hit with rocks while en-

none of us until about 3:15 p. m,

up.
Rock Crashes in window
At 3:15 o'clock yesterday, we
were all busy at our machines.
There was big crowd of strikers
in front of the plant. Deputy

Suddenly. a single big rock

learned later the dull reports
were those of tear gas guns. The
whip-cracks were pistols.
The deputy sheriffs began
firing out the windows. We were
herded to the rear of the factory.
Girls were fainting all around.
Some got hit by the rocks that
came in the window and the
sight of blood added to the gen.
eral panic.
For an hour or so we stayed
in the rear of the building on
a lower floor. We heard glass
crashing around us and strange
whistling sounds. Pretty soon a
deputy came running in and ro-
dered us all up to the top floor.
The whistling noises, he said.

ARCADIA, La, May "a 0.N.S0.
81 hated to shoot a woman
but as 1 looked down my rifle
barrel 1 remembered the way
in which Bonnie Parker had
taken part in the murder Of
nine peace officers.
II remembered how she
kicked the body Of a highway
patrolman at Grapevine, Tex,
Easter Sunday, and fired =
bullet into his body as he lay
on the ground.
Bonnie just got into the
way of bullets intended for
Clyde Barrow"
In that manner, Capt. Frank
Hamer, former Texas Ranger, ex-
planned why a woman was killed
with Barrow, the Southwest'S
most notorious present-day des-
perado.
Old Rule Broken
Captain Hamer broke a rule
of years standing-never to dis
cuss a case-to tell how he
tracked down Clyde Barrow and
Bonnie Parker.
He revealed that the trap
sprung yesterday was laid as long
ago as February 10. He dis
closed how Barrow communicated
with his few intimates by mes
sages laid beneath boards along
the highways.
In the course of his search for
Barrow, he had obtained con-
fessions of IA bank robberies in
four States.
Captain Hamer declared:
"a woman of that kind had
something like that coming to
her.
"She and Clyde had killed
two officers in Joplin, three
in Dallas, one in Arkansas, and
three in Oklahoma"
The big ex-Ranger, who seldom
smiles and talks only under the
most persistent questioning, and
who has had So personal encoun-
ters with criminals and bears, the
scars of bullets on his body, con-
fiFrned the story that Bonnie
Parker was addicted to cigars.
How Trap Was Sprung
Captain Hamer and his fellow
officers had expected the Barrow
car yesterday morning at 9:27
O'Clock. 1t appeared at 9:15. The
trap was laid Monday night.
Plans had been made beforehand.
The six officers took up. their
nocturnal vigil on the little red
dirt road about 18 miles southeast
of Arcadia. They were on the
crest of a slight incline, sheltered
by a bit of shrubbery. Said Cap
tain Hamer:
"About 1880 o'clock Monday
night, Clyde and Bonnie passed
through Arcadia, and drove
about a hundred miles. Never
mind what direction they drove.
They were looking for a board
along the highway. They found
the board, but there wasn't any
note under 1.-THE information
they were expecting hadn't
come.
"The information never did
come. Clyde and Bonnie sat
there all night, until the dawn,
waiting for the messenger, but
he didn't come. Then they re-
turned to Arcadia, and started
out on the Gibsland Road
looking for a second board.
They found us instead.
"Clyde was driving less than
30 miles an hour. raiser up
and commanded them to halt.
At the same instant, Clyde
reached for his 12-gauge sawed
off shotgun, leaning on the seat
between him and Bonnie. and
Bonnie reached for a 16-gauge
Sawed-off shotgun.

but they didn't, so We gave 'em
