 Trap Him

AS Q weary army of 125 state troopers and volunteers continued to trail him, it was reported that a Had ley man faced arrest for allegedly harboring the fugitive. The man is alleged to have given Bey food, money and clothing, including gray suit.
 Is Receiving Aid
 That the 37-year old parolde convict was receiving aid from some source was indicated Tuesday night when heh appeared at the Moody Corners general store in South Hadley. The clerk noted that Bey was clean-shaven and fairly well dressed. with none of the appearance of man. who supposedly had been sleeping in barns or woods. Directors of the manhunt intimated that the man believed aiding Bey might be arrested within A hours unless the fugitive were taken in the interim.
 Abandon AirpIane
 Police have abandoned an air plane used for observation pur- poBes. So thick was the autumn foliage that Pilot Charles (Chuck) O'Connor reported there was slim chance of locating Bey's hideaway from the air.

 lowing them to go to jail while
 evading the law himself. About $6O,000 in spurious bills
 was found in Watts apartmen mt,
 Murphy said.
 Watts started out, as druggist. In addition to counterfeit bills, agents confiscated a quantity of i spurious liquor labels, U. S. and
 Canadian revenue tax stamps. BOOkmakers Hit The amazing limitations Watts produced, it was revealed, almost
 broke" many bookmakers at the Saratoga race trock where large
 quantities of the bogus currency l were passed.
 1 First clue to his whereabouts came several months ago when the
 wholesale drug firm of Elmer and
 Amend reported that a man had been buying chemicals recognized
 as those used in counterfeiting. A
 federal agent picked up the trail | three weeks ago and Watts had been constantly shadowed since. They Trapped Him Last week the agent climbed the
 fire escape after Watts had left the apartment and saw lone or two things" he hecognized as part of counterfeiting equipment. He learned also that two bottles of milk were delivered to Watts every morning. Yesterday morning Captain Houghton, accompanied by five aides, knocked on the door, an-
 nouncing that he was the milk man ad wanted to know if service was
 satisfactory. Watts unsuspectingly opened the door. A loaded revolver was found on
 top of bureau.
 Turned Best Work Houghton said that Watts, a Full lerton, Neb., pharmacist until 1920, turned out the best work since the
 so-called million dollar ring" was
 broken up in Lancaster, Pa., in 1898.
 His $100 notes were copies Of
 those of the San Francisco Federal
 Reserve bank. The $2O bills coun- terfeited those of the Cleveland and
 Dallas Federal Reserve banks. In his room was a plate for a $10 note on the Republic Nationla bank of Dallas. "Our minds are greatly relieved by the arrest" said Houghton,
 "the case was baffling. We knew
 of this perfect money, believed
 that 1t was coming from plant in
 the Metropolitan area but were
 unable to narrow 1t down. When Count Lustig was caught we con-
 centrated on his source of supply.
 Apparently Watts served only LustIg. He was a close e-mouthed
 man who had no women friends and few men acquaintances. He moved after Lustig's arrest from Astoria to Union City. When we got Lustig we got Watts in a way, for he had made no new connec- tions for peddling his products"
 Robert Tyler, alias Dapper Don Dollins was questioned again by Federal court jury in New York today in connection with the Lus- tig escape. Assistant U. $. Attor- ney Seymour Klein had him taken before a federal judge and charged with giving false and evasive an. swers. Collins, who is believed by the government to have important knowledge about the escape, asked to be represented by counsel and will be given a hearing tomorrow.

Reichafeuhrer Adolf Hitler in a

military clauses of the Versailles
treaty and proclaimed TIE imme-

Germany's denunciation Of the

ed Europe, already tense with the
increasing momentum of the arms

France and Great Britain this
week have already moved toward
increased armed strength.
Neither the Hitler proclamation
nor the new law specifically said
Germany denounces the military
clauses Of the Versailles treaty
but the conscription law actually
was a denunciation and violation
of the treaty. Hitler's decision
ives disclosed after the cabinet
had approved this action. A proc
lamation voiced the nations dis
appointment in the failure of
other nations to disarm.
Germany saw herself forced to
take measures for her own protec-

measures, part of which have al

nounced, is being put on a mill
