a salary of $65,000 in 1927, when he
worked with Connie Mack's Athletics.

much too much for the embarrassed

off the pay roll in 1928.
Iris Speaker, the gray eagle,

and $4,000 from the Treasury

Here again the price was too steep.
iris drifted to Philadelphia the fol-
lowing year, where he drew a salary
that the boys estimated variously at
80, 40 and SO grand.
Rogers Hornsby got $4,000 a year
for two years with the Giants and
Braves-l927 and 1928.
Joe Mccarthy worked for three
years at $4,000 before he got his
boost to $35.000.
Dazzy Vance set an all-around rec
ord for National League pitchers
when, in 1925, he soaked Brooklyn for
three-year stipend totaling SAT 500.
In 1928 the dazzler got $4,000, and
the next year $25,0O0. But he never
touched 100000 Nor, as far as I
can remember, did any other pitcher.

FORD WORKER
IS JAILED FOR
DUAL Staying
Graison Thomas And
Wife, Minnie, Shot
To Death

Carlton Trammell, AZ, a former
Ford worker, Of 1929 Russell street
was arraigned in Judge Van Tiles
Court, Tuesday, May &c, and held
murder charge, for the Staying of
Graison Thomas, 81, and his &C.
year-old bride of three weeks,
Minnie Thomas, of 459 Leland
avenue. The double murder occur
red early Sunday morning, May &c,
at 1915 o'clock, in the neighbor-
hood of Leland and Brush, as the
couple were returning home from
church services, walking arm in
arm.
Trammell pleaded guilty and his
trial was set for Friday, May 20.
Up to the time of the marriage
of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas, three
weeks ago, it is alleged that Tram
nell and Mrs. Thomas had been
living together out of wedlock for
five years. Trammell, it is said,
brooded over the woman's mar
riage to another man, until he be-
came desperate and decided to kill
the couple.
Late Saturday night, Trammell
went to the Thomas home and
found the couple out. Armed with
shotgun, which he had purchas-
ed for $3.50, from a pawn shop, he
concealed himself in the darkness
until Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas return
ed home, when he opened fire up
on them.
Seeing Trammell, Mrs. Thomas
cried out, 20 God" and thinking it
was a hold-up, Mr.. Thomas threw
up his hands. The first shot killed
him almost instantly.
Mrs. Thomas rushed at the assai-
liant and grappled with him, but
hurting her back, Trammell fired
point blank into her body. Reload
ing his gun, he then shot her again
as she lay dying on the sidewalk.
After the shooting, Trammell
fled to a beer garden on Hastings
street, where he attempted to
drown from his mind the ghostly
thoughts Of the bloody double MUIR
der. Later, he fled to the vicinity
of the Smile Road, and was ar
rested by Patrolmen McDougall
and Alex Dings, who turned him
over to Sergeant George Branton
and Detective Buckholdt, of the
Homicide Squad.
Immediately after the tragedy,
Willis Walton, one of the Tribune's
young news statesmen, informed
Tribune representatives of the
double murder
