Harry Pierpont, With Bullet in
Back, Examined in Jail

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. "a
G.N.SO.-Harry Pierpont was the
first witness questioned today at
the inquest into the Staying OF
Pierpont's pal, Charles Makley, by
prison guards during a brazen at
tempt Of the two Dillinger gang
sters to escape from Death Row.
at the Ohio penitentiary.
Pierpont lay on his cot in
Death Row" cell as Coroner E. E
Smith and Prosecutor Don Hos
kins opened the inquest in the
corridor Of the cell block that was
the scene of Saturdays attempted
prison break.
In Pierpont's body, near the
base of his spine, was the bullet
that brought him down while he
and Makley battled vainly to
escape, but his condition phys.
icians do not consider as serious.
NewSpapermen Barred
Only the coroner, prosecutor
and minor officials were present
at the questioning Of Pierpont,
NeWSpapermen were excluded be-
cause the coroner thought the
men in death row. might talk
more freely with no reporters
present.
One important question the
Investigators hoped to have Pier
pont answer concerned the fake
guns used by the condemned men
in trying to bluff their way past
the death row guards.
Remarkably realistic, the gums"
made largely of soap and such
odds and ends as toothpaste tubs
and paper clips, must have re-
quired weeks of careful prepara-
ton, yet they were not uncovered
by prison guards who are sup
posed to search each death cell
daily.
When the coroner and prosecu-
tor finish with Pierpont they in
tend to question Russell Clark,
third Dillinger gangster serving a
life sentence in the same cell
block with Pierpont and the late
Makley.
Governor Interested
With the Makley inquest under
way, Gov. George White expressed
interest in the statement Of Pier.
points mother, Mrs. John Pier
pont, who is said OF have been

dence that the real aSaSSins OF
Sheriff Jess Sarber were Homer

Russ Envoy Agrees to Sell
Soviet Interest in C. E. R.
For $51, 100000

TOKYO, Sept. "a G.N.S).
War danger in the Far East
stood greatly diminished today
with the practical elimination OF
the chief source of Russo-Japanese
friction by the settlement of the
Chinese Eastern Railway problem
Meeting Manchukuo half way
on compromise agreement after
long parleying and bitter words
on both sides. the Soviets have
agreed to sell their half interest
in the C. E. r.. giving the new
empire full control of the i'm
portant 1,000-mile trans,Manchu
rian railway.
Price Reduced
The price is understood to be
170,000,000 japanese yen ($51.
000,00O). The U. S. S. R. cut
it's price by 2O,OOO,OOO yen while
Manchukuo boosted her offer by
a like amount. The agreement
was reached by Foreign Minister
Koki Hirota of Japan. acting as
mediator. and Ambassador Con
stantine Youreneff, of Russia.
Goods from Manchukuo will
make up two-thirds of the pur
chase price. it is understood. The
remainder will be in cash, one
half of which will be paid az
soon as the agreement is con
firmed by the governments con
cerned. and the rest of which will
be spread over three years.
All Soviet employees of the
C. E. R. will be replaced within
six months after the transfer OF
the documents. according to the
present agreement.
Bone of Contention
Ever since Japan invaded Man.
churia three years ago, and the
independent state of Manchukuo
was set up, joint control Of the
railway has been a source OF
trouble between Japan and the
Soviets, and at times war ap
peared inevitable. Several score of
Soviet citizens are under arrest
in Manchuria for allegedly incit
ing bandits to wreck c. e. r.
trains.
