that Thorpe was the greatest player
the game had known, and that Oil

according to this coach, that Thorpe

DESPERADOES' CAR

Police Think Insane Asylum
Escapes May Be Hiding
in Vicinity.

An automobile believed to have
been used by some or all of the seven
criminals who escaped from the State
Hospital for the Insane at Raleigh
early Wednesday haa been located
here and is being held for Identified
ton, Chief of Police j. II. Langston
said today The car was found on
Vance street, on the eastern out
skirts of the city Thursday afternoon,
and the motor was still warm as
though it had only recently been
abandoned when found.
The police identified the car by
communicating with the automobile
license bureau in Raleigh as belong
ing to Eugene Wilson, but at that
time the theft of Mr.. Wilson's car had
not been learned at the automobile
bureau 1t later developed that Will
sons car had been stolen about the
time the desperate gang got away
from Dix Hill
When found the car was short g

en- some distance on the rim of the
wheel before being abandoned
who operates or works at a filling
station in Warren county had identi-
fled the car as the one driven by a
gang who obtained gasoline at his
place earlier in the day. and jumped
in and drove off without paying for
1t. He is said to have stated that
the men in the car were apparently
sunburned or of deep brunette COM
plexion.
The police chief believes the men
may be hiding somewhere in the vi
cinity Of Henderson, and are on the
lookout for them.
All of the escaped seven are des-
cribed as desperadoes. Two OF them
had been convicted of murder and
sent to State Prison and one of them
had been commuted for a death SEN
