They Failed But Ran Off With the Marshal of
 Town

Crescent, okla, June 20.--(UP) A gang of robbers, who may have been plano movers by trade. took charge of this town to-day, tried to rob the bank by loading a five. ton safo on Il truck, and finally de- parted empty handed but accom. panied by four hostages and the night marshal, Joe Stanfeld. All were released later.
 There were seven in the gang. They rode into town about 8 q. m., took over the telephone office and cut long distance wires Then they went to the bank. taking the telc- phone operator with them.
 Apparently unconcerned about the clamor and noise they made, the men crashed in the bank win dows, backed up ar truck and put q cable on the safe.
 Aroused citizens moved to van- tage points and took few shots at the invaders. The bullets missed their mark, as did the return fire from the hard working robbers.
 The bullets didn't discourage the gang, but when the winch broke and the safe fell to the pavement just as 1t was being hoisted aboard the trusk the men gave up, round- cd up the hostages and drove away.

ScOttsbOrO Case To
u. S. Supreme Court
CASE REACHES COURT FOR
SECOND TIME

Washington, d. c., October H.
The so-called Scottsboro case, in
volving seven youths charged with
the rape of two white girls, reached
the Supreme Court of the United
States last Friday.
When the case was before the
Supreme Court in 1892, the court
reversed the conviction of the men
in the courts of Alabama on the
grounds that they were denied the
right of counsel, with the aecus-
toned incidents of consultation and
opportunity of preparation for
trial.
At the second trial one of the
girls recalled her testimony of the
first trial, asserting stoutly under
grueling cross examination, that
none of the seven youths attacked
either her or her companion.
