CRIME KEY HELD
 BY ROBIN HOOD
Story of 'Hired' Murder of Farmer-Minister Expect
 ed to Be Uncovered

Poplar Bluff, Mo.-(UP)-The dramatic story of the hired" mur- der of the Rev. James A. Radford, Ozarks minister-farmer, is expected to be unfolded at the trial of five men at the November term of Rey- holds county circuit court.
 An alleged confession by Robert Camden, self-Styled Robin Hood of the Ozarks," resulted in the arrest of the five. Sheriff M. M. Jamison of Reynolds county said Camden confessed that he shot and killed the minister because he was hired to do so.
 Those held are James Wofford, 73, and his son, Bud, 49, who live in the hills near here; Vernie Smith, 25, and Will Camden, 48, uncle of Rob- ert. Emmet Smith. 28, brother of Vernie, was arrested in Denver.
 The fiction-like story of the mur- der as Camden told it is his confess sion, was revealed by Sheriff Jam. ison. Camden, now serving a 30- year team in the peitentiary for robberies, admitted killing the min. ister, and said he had been hired to commit the crime.
 ''The Ozarks Robin Hood has been roaming about in Missouri and Arkansas for several years," Jami- son said. "He served one term and we trailed him for months before trapping him in cave near here. He committed petty crimes, forcing natives to cook for him, give him shelter and taking small items from them. He threatened to kill them if they reported him."
 Camden did not reveal how much near Ellington in August, 1883. The who was shot to death at his home he received for killing the minister, Rev. Radford,s daughter saw the assassin fleeing through the woods. but could not identify him.
 The motive given for the crime was that Vernie and Emmet Smith. stepsons of the minister, suspected him of having intentionally brought about their mothers death. She was killed in 1888 in an automobile acc cident. The minister was driving the car ct the time.

"The new metal radio tubes are

greater freedom from trouble than
has been possible before, and per-
