PRETTY BOY SLAIN
ON ISOLATED FARM
Floyd Is Shot Down in Ohio
While Fleeing From
Officers.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
EAST LIVERPOOL, OHIO, October
23.-Charles Arthur Pretty Boy
Floyd, the terror of the Oklahoms
badlands, lay on an undertaker's slab
here today in expiation of his 10 years
of crime
His black, patent-leather hair
slicked down meticulouSly even in
death. to accentuate the palor of his
face, the braggart sought for the in
famous Kansas City Union Station
, massacre year ago last June, bore the
marks of four bullets, fired at his
back.
For the law finally caught up with
the desperate, listed as public enemy
No. since John Dillinger fell under
rain of lead in Chicago three months
ago, on an isolated farm, seven miles
north of here, late yesterday.
For Floyd, who, like his kind
boasted he never would be taken
! alive, it was an ignominous end
Alone when Federal and city officers
poured death-dealing fire at his re-
treating figure. the bandit charged
with the deaths of at least seven
men, remained solitary figure in
death.
Mother Claims Body.
His mother, who had indicated she
would come to East Liverpool to claim
the body, advised Coroner E. R.
Sturgis to send it to her home at
Sallisaw, Okla, for burial.
Sturgis was completing piece meal
and perfunctory inquest today, gather
ing pits of evidence from Department
Of Justice agents and East Liverpool
police to complete the record. BY
afternoon he expected to turn the body
over officially to a mortician, for re-
turn to the State which witnessed sc
many of his bloody eScapades.
An autopsy revealed only four bull
lets had found their mark. Two tore
through him. back to front, sappine
the desperado's life within Is minutes
after he was struck down. A third
lodged under rib. A fourth pierced
an arm. Earlier, the coroner said a
cursory examination showed Floyd had
been struck Is times.
His nemesis was Melvin Purvis OF
the Department of Justice-the man
who got Diliinger-aided by three OF
his agents and four East Liverpool
policemen.
So lacking in drama, so quick, was
the death of the desperate that II
shocked the peaceful countryside only
after the full import of the Staying

Bullets Believed Intended for
mickey" Mcdonald, De-
SCribed as Gambler.
A. D. WILSON, NEWSPAPER
ROUTE AGENT, is VICTIM
Fatal Blast Was Fired From Am
bush at Mcdonald Home in
Takoma Park.

Nervous gunmen lying in ambush
for Mickey" Mcdonald, described by
police as a gambler, leveled fatal
blast from their guns at newspaper
route carrier early today as he halted
to make delivery before McDonald's S
home at the edge of Takoma Park, Md
1t was AIS am. when the unsus-
pecting carrier, Allen D. Wilson, 80
of Ridge road, Silver Spring, Md,
halted his sedan on the highway out
side the Mcdonald home and thrust
a newspaper into the mail box beside
the private drive.
Just as the car moved north again
it was swept by deadly hail of lead
from the bushes across the highway
not more than 2G yards distant Three
charges of buckshot from a sawed-off
shotgun were pumped into the sedan
Saw Two Men Fire Shots.
Awakened by the shots, Mrs Nc
Donald ran to an upstairs window
She told Maryland police she saw
two men run into the highway and
shoot at a car which had halted in a
ditch almost opposite her drive.
Wilson apparently escaped the first
volley. receiving only one pellet in the
right arm. AS his car swung across
the road, however, a bullet from 32-
caliber revolver hit him in the back
of the head. 1t had smashed through
the rear window.
Wilson died at Washington Sani-
tarium about $50 am. without recov-
ering sufficiently to make statement
Montgomery County police say the
gunmen had been lying in wait for
Mcdonald, as on two previous occa-
sions within the last year, and were
deceived by the similarity between
Wilson's sedan and the taxicab in
which Mcdonald often returned from
Washington during the early morning
hours.
Waited Behind Tree.
The gunmen obviously had waited
long and nervously. Police found
where they had shuffled about behind
a big oak beside the highway, smoking
cigarettes which they had ground
under heel. At least half a dozen
charred butts and a score of burned
matches were found.
At that hour full moon threw a
fitful light through the trees. Across
the highway f1oodlights arranged at
vantage points about the lawn lighted
up McDonald's yard, but the point at
which Wilson's car halted was in COM
parative darkness.
The gunmen presumably believed
their ambush was discovered when
Wilson's car halted directly in front
of them. The haSty manner in which
they shot was indicated by the fact
that one gunman missed two of five
charges of buckShot which he looSed
at the car. The empty shells were
found by police.
Flee in Second Car.
Mrs. Mcdonald told police she saw
a second car come up just after the
shooting. 1t was too far distant to be
described accurately. The two men
were believed to have escaped in this
car. No trace of it has been reported
to police.
Mcdonald is described as a 'big
shot" among operators of the num-
bers" game in Washington. He told
police today he is a broker
Police say that about year ago
Mcdonald escaped gunmen who fol-
lowed his car and shot at it during
a wild chase through Montgomery
County. Another attempt was made

What kind of people have five
talents, and two talents, and one?
Which of these three classes are
the most numerous and useful?
Why should one not be concerned
in which group he is classed?
How will one lose his talents if
he does not use them?
When is it easy to be faithful in
service?
What are the advantages in diff
ferent ones having different talents?
Glorious says: Success in any
sphere depends more on fsithfulness
and application and hard work. than
on the number of talents possess
ed. 1t is not uncommon that the
man with one talent climbs to the
top. The gift of hard work is a
talent as well as ones ability for
service

The Christian Steward Matthew
25:14-3O for Sunday, Nov. 25:
The Parable of the Talents was
given by Jesus on the last Tuesday
evening of his earthly life; he sat
on the Mount of Olives with his dis
ciplss: he was about to leave them,
and they were to carry on his work;
he had given them talents and they
were responsible for their use.
v. IA "For the kingdom of
heaven is as a man travelling into a
far country, who called his own SER
wants and delivered unto them his
goods Jesus has purchased his
servants with his own blood; he
keeps them by his power; he is en-
titled to their service; they should
never fail to respond to his call. All
the interests of his kingdom are in
the hands of his servants-his
Word, his cause, his kingdom, his
church. There is no greater trust
for man.
". Is. "And unto one he gave
five talents, to another two, and to
another one; to everyone according
to his several ability; and straight
way took his journey" People diff
fer in talent, from a low grade OF
intelligence to genius, from pauper-
ism to wealth, from narrow circum-
stances to the widest opportunities,
from native coarseness and vicious
ness of disposition to spirituality of
temperament and sanity tender
ness. Nevertheless in spite of great
INEQUALITIES, everyone can render
good service if he will.

received the five talents went and
traded with the same and made
them other five talents. And like
wise he that had received two, he

chairman for the Red Cross work in

wards advises that Marion township

cure. and that they have already
exceeded this quota, with three
more solicitors to be heard from.
The county has been divided into
districts for the roll call, and many
prominent leaders, both men and
women, are working on the solicita-
ton. The goal for Morgan county
is $50 members and approximately
one-third Of this number has been
secured, according to reports secur-
ed by Mr. Edwards
1t is very important that every
Red Cross worker be on the job be-
tween now and Thanksgiving day,
in order to see that this drive is a
complete success. Morgan county

in the time of flood and drouth, to
an extent far above any contribu-
tion which has been made toward

V. IS. "But he that received one
went and digged in the earth, and

want was steward, for the money

1t is an easy thing to pass over

v. 10. "After long time the

been faithful over a few things, l
