REWARD MAY BE
 OFFERED TO NIP
 FUGITIVE CROW
Lieut Schatzrllan of State Police Consulted With.
 States Attorney

Lieutenant William schatzman in charge of the state police man. hunt for the slayer John Crow in woicott, yesterday confefred with States Attorney Lawrence l.. Lewis on the advisability of contracting Governor Wilbur L. Cross on the posting. of a reward for the capture of the hunted man it was learned today. States Attorney Lewis who admitted the visit of the state po- lice officer is understood to have said he wanted to give a more complete study to the situation be- fore taking up the matter with the governor.
 1t is possible that if the state posted a reward for the capture of Crow who murdered Clarence Yus- kis and Julius, ,Karvauskas at Vol icott, June 24, the state police sta- toned in the vicinity of the Yus- kis home would be joined by num- Der of hunters. It is also possible that Q more rigid combing of the vicinity would ehsue.
 Numbers reports have been for warded to the state police by resi- dents of the wooded section sur- rounding Wolcott that the slayer has been seen. These reports have been run down and even with the aid of blood hounds brought here especially to assist in the search, the man is still at large. Residents of that section are still on edge as 8 result of the failure to capture Crow. It is hardly necessary to state that a number of them, the. males, would be pleased to join in concerted search for the wanted man, es- pecially if a reward should be the prize.
 It is expected that States Attor- new Lewis will make his decision on asking the Governor to post a reward, within the next day or so. Since the staying took place in Wolcott it comes under the juris- diction of the local superior court where States Attorney Lewis off, ciates.
 County Detective Roland c. All ing, whose duties entail his iryes- tigating cases that comes to the local courts attention is under- stood to have given the Wolcott shooting some consideration. Whether he is actively engaged in assisting the state police could not be ascertained.

 He sat down at his home and dialed Delaware 121S.
 After a few moments delay an operator sing-songed: Did you call Delaware wan two-wan-a-ut?'
 "Yes," answered MT Johnson pa tiently. What number do you call to get Delaware 121S?" z
 The number, he was told, had been changed to Lackawanna 6911.
 First the county infirmary ans- wered. He got an orphanage, a butcher shop and the telephone number of a strange blond.
 In desperation he started for the Lincoln Telephone Exchange on Larrabee street with a distinctly homicidal look in his eye. He seized E. J. Meyer, the traffic manager, by the neck. "Ive had enough of your wrong numbers" he shouted. He punched Meyer in the nose and two or three times on the jaw. The traffic managers secretary got the police on the line without any wrong-number delay and MT Johnson was hauled away to court.

Quassapaug Workers
 Save Drowning Boy
Martin Brennan and Francis Fruin Rescue Albert
 Vateilitis, Is, in Deep Lake Waters

today is enjoying the benefits of life, for during the terrific rain and electrical storm Sat. urday afternoon at the Middle. bury amusement center, the Bank street lad was fin swim- ming when suddenly he lost his reasoning senses, went un- derwater screaming frantically for assistance.
 Brennan, who is supervisor at the bathing house, was seated on cottage veranda at the time. Through the dense fog he thought he saw a form in the water, going down and without hesitating started for the shore, calling Francis Fruin, another employe, who joined him. The pair jumped into Mir O'Conncll's speedbOat and speedily motored out to where the lad was frantically endeavoring to save himself.
 The pair, half undressed by this time, dove simultaneously into the water and rescued the youth who went under for the second time. Both Brcn- nan and E'ruin carried him to the boat, drove him to land and then administered first aid quite notably.
 Believe it or not and it may be the only case on record, but when the lad regained con- seriousness his flrst words were thanks to his rescuers.

ANOTHER NEGRO
 WAS THE VICTIM
 OF LYNCH CROWD
Telephone Pole Battered Down Jail Doors to Get
 the Prisoner

Bastrop, La, July 10 = (UP) = The body of lynched negro was cut down from an oak tree in the public square today. Sheriff J. F. Carpenter said he recognized no member of the mob which stormeG Parish prison last night. District Attorney F. W. Hawthorne, who told the mob he sympathized with its attitude, would not say what action he planned. The negro. Andrew McCloud, 26, was suspect ed of an attempt to attack a white girl Saturday. The mob began forming at night fall last night and within a few hours numbered 5000. It tore down telephone pole and used it to batter locks from four doors. Limp from a beating and blood gushing from a knife wound in his neck, McCloud was dragged out with a moose already around his neck. he was lifted to the top of an automobile, the free end of the rope tied to a limb, and the car driven from un- der him.
 The jail was not guarded as the Parish does not maintain a night attendant. Three other negroes imprisoned with McCloud were so badly frightened that on shouted: Batter down the side of the build- ing and we'll throw Rim out to you." The mob immediately went into action. While it was using the telephone pole as ram, District Attorney Hawthorne arrived and made @ speech.
 "I sympathize with your atti- tude, but I'm afraid you'll get into trouble" he said. "If you sympa- thize with us," one of the leaders shouted. "why don't you take off that straw hat and take a-hold of this telephone pole?" Sheriff Carpenter and two deputies ar rived and tried to dissuade the mob with no success.
 McCloud was arrested Sunday, some hours after a white girl re- ported an attempted attack 25 miles away Saturday night. She and her escort were returning to Bastrop from dance when their car ran into a ditch. She started afoot to a filling station. A negro stepped out of the night and start ed to drag her into a woods. Before he could get her off the road a car approached, frightening him away.
