The Dissenter Drive Is On

ID ICHARD WASHBURN CHILD Of the Hearst

In article yesterday he wrote:
The red may pin on any labei-Communist So

Earlier in the same article Mr.. Child condemned
with equal severity, The pinks and cerises and

that "a man had been kidnapped
on the street"
This was the first of a series of
telephone calls which the govern
ment now believes it can show
were all aimed at the release of
Nash. The first was placed, the
government believes, in the hope
that local police might hinder the
government agents in their es-
cape with Nash.
And they were stopped, about
twenty miles out, and had to iden-
tify themselves to local police.
Doubling off the Joplin road on
which they started, they made for
FIT. Smith with their prisoner.
There they got aboard a night
Missouri Pacific train, arriving in
Kansas City in the morning. They
felt that Nash was as good as
back in Leavenworth, where he
belonged.
DUT meanwhile the telephone
ID wires were busy behind them.
The government has traced all
those calls. There was one ar
ranging the charter of asspecial
plane to fly from Hot Springs
to Joplin, Mo. There was one to
Joplin asking certain people to
be ready for guests.
There were several from Chi
cago to Kansas City, establish
ing contact. with Verne Miller,
machine gunner and murderer.
And there was another from Jop-
lin later, informing Miller as to
when and how Nash would ar
rive in Kansas City.
The persons believed to have
made and received these calls are
the ones named in recent indict-
ments of the present grand jury
here. all charged with conspiracy
to obstruct justice.
But government agents knew
nothing of these calls as they
descended from the train early
the next morning, the hand
cuffed Nash in their midst.

$4,000 GOAL SET
FOR SEAL AICN
County Associations Ready
for Drive.

County tuberculosis associations
throughout Indiana today began the
annual organization for the sale of
Christmas seals and health bonds.
A goal of $150,000 for the sale of
seals has been set by Murray A.
AUerbach, Indiana tuberculosis As
ISOLATION executive secretary.
The Indiana tuberculosis death
rate has been cut approximately so
per cent since organized volunteer
work against the disease began
twenty years ago, Mr. Auerbach
said in a letter to county associa-
ton secretaries.
Only 1868 persons died in Indiana
from tuberculosis in 1888, he point
ed out, while before the sale of
Christmas seals was inaugurated
more than twice that number we're
victims of the disease each year.
The seals must be purchased in ever
increasing amounts if ti-tubercu-
losis work is to be strengthened in
the state, Mr.. Auerbach declared.

Then. on Memorial day, 1888,
eleven more convicts engineered a
desperate break from the Kansas
state penitentiary at Lansing,
kidnapping Warden Kirk Prather
and two guards.
They again were supplied plen-
tifully with smuggled arms, and
again police redoubled tn cir
search for Nash, for among the
eleven who escaped in this break
were his friends, Underhill and
Bailey.
Police strongly suspected the
hand of Nash in the smuggling OF
weapons to the plotting Under
hill and Bailey in barrels Of shoe
dressing.
But Nash continued to be elu-
sive. His associates, Francis L.
Heating and Thomas Holden, were
arrested on a Kansas City golf

Chicago with a finger in the beer

DUT the break came and the
ID relentless pursuit of Frank

bore fruit. A tip came that

the resort town in which few
crimes are committed, but many
planned.
Agent Smith took with him
Agent F. j. Lackey and Police
Chief Otto Reed of McAlester,
Okla, and went to Hot Springs.
Nash had been "big-shotting"
about the town under the name of
Doc Williams. They ''pegged"
Nash in front of the White Front
pool hall and race-betting joint,
and leaped from their car.
Before he could raise his hands,
they had him covered, whisked
him into their car and were off.
Knowing that Nash had con-
nections in Hot Springs, the Off
GERS practically kidnapped him. He
had a toupee on his bald head
and had otherwise disguised his
appearance.
The capture was at 2:24 p. m.
on June IS. At $50 there was a
telephone call to the city police

from the station; it was a scene
of peace and security.
Only a few people turned in
idle curiosity as the peace officers
ushered Nash out of the station
and toward their parked car

They had Nash in the front
seat of the little Chevrolet coach
and were climbing in after him
when there came a sharp cry of
