"The story is that a young

After that, however, Bruce must
have been clever, for his car was
not picked up until it reached
Ukiah, matter Of several hours.
A constable there halted it, but
Bruce was no longer driving; in
fact he and his woman compan-
ion had disappeared. Only man
and woman were left. At first,
they profeSsed ignorance Of Bruce
Lloyd. It developed that they did
not know him under his right
name. They lived in the apart
ment house where Bernice Carter
lived and had been invited to join
her and her friend for a trip.
They themselves were anxious to
go to Eureka where the woman's
folks, lived. So they accepted the
invitation.
On the way, Bernice had be-
come i'll. They stopped at an iso-
lated inn on the highway, where
she was to stay until evening.
Bruce insisted that the couple
continue on their way in his car.
Asked If they did not think this
strange, they admitted it did seem
so, but that it seemed logical
enough at the time. The police
did not entirely believe their story
and were holding them.
In the meantime, they were also
checking the inn. They found that
no one had registered there. the
night before, but that a young
couple answering the description
of the fugitives had had dinner
there and then taken a north
bound bus. AS the papers went
to press, authorities were inveSti-
eating the bus line, but as yet
had cleaned no results.
"A hardened criminal could
have done no better in making
an escape" commented Allen, who
was apparently more calm.
Dad shook his head. "You are
right. I cannot understand it. I
was certainly taken in by him.
No fool like an old fool!' but I'm
not so sure that he is guilty yet.
We do not know who this woman
is. Perhaps she is someone he
feels he must protect. Yet, as far
as I am concerned, she makes it
worse"
I was thinking. I am afraid
had I expressed my thoughts. they
would have been as bitter as
Dads. I was not convinced that
Bruce had shot Connie, but he
had certainly sold us all down the
river.
Dad went to telephone O'Brien.
When he came back, he had no
further news Of Bruce, but he did
have some on the other angles.
OBrien is pretty sure that the
murderer is travelling north with
a blonde woman: in other words,
he is almost ready to pronounce
Lloyd guilty"
"n he does, will you take the

We were all surprised; IN spite
of the events, for that meant Dad,
too, was convinced Of Loyds

He dropped the subject. 1.-THE
Inspector had some other news
that will interest the children.
Their pal Melvin, has been re-
leaSed!"
"Released!" I exclaim e d.
why, I thought the police had
as much on him as anyone" :"
Then I stopped for after all, my
family didn't know yet that I was
in Inspector O'Brien's confidence.
IT suppose they have" answer
ed Dad, "but the police cannot
get him to talk; 50 they are going
to follow him, in the hopes Of get
ting something on his companions,
or at least finding out why he had
the gun that night"
'He might get away, like
Bruce"
Dad shrugged. He looked tired.
He had taken this thing awfully
hard.

harrington went to San Diego

by his shadow, man who is more
reliable than Loyd'S was, evi-

Darlington had phoned from, and
found, like the police, that she
had flown. He was as puzzled as
they. it seemed. But not so re-

"He began phoning their &C.

found her stopping with a couple

a taxi, followed by the detective

"And did they get her?"
eyes"
what did she have to say?"
"She refused to talk without a
lawyer"
What will they do with her?"
They are returning her here to
be questioned"
"I should think" said Mother,
with one suspect escaping toward
Canada and another picked up
just this side of Mexico, that a
good detective would come to
some sound conclusion in the next
few days."
EYES," said Dad, "you would
think so. But probably by that
time something else will turn up"
The girls were quiet about Bruce
when I went to school Monday. I
suppose they thought that we
would consider his running away
sort Of family disgrace, since
Dad had assumed mere or less
responsibility for him, It made
things awkward as 7 didn't want
to bring up the subject, still feel,
ing too badly over it; and yet I
didn't enjoy their silence.
So it was a personal relief when
Melvin came back to school Tues
day. That gave up plenty to talk
about over our matted milks! He
looked rather pale and very sui
len.

Negro Farmers
White Widow
Found Slain

Red Bank, N J.-(ANP)-Bat-
tered and unclad, the body of rs
year old Mrs. Alice Smith, white
widow of William Smith, a Negro
farmer who was known here as
"Hornhead," was discovered Thurs
day morning on her bed in the
dilapidated and lonely farmhouse
in which she lived at Headden's
Corners, Middletown township.
According to DR.. IT. W. Hartman,
Monmouth county physician who
performed an autopsy, Mrs. Smith
appeared to have been struck by an
automobile but no explanation was
offered as to how she returned to
her home after suffering a brken
neck, fractures of eight ribs, con-
cussion of the brain and contusions
and abrasions of the body.
Mrs. Smith lived a quarter-mile
from her nearest neighbor, in
house which it appeared had never
known tidying hand Outside the
place a dozen cats prowled in
search of food. Her husband died
two years ago and since then she
was understood to have shared the
house with William Corlies, white,
world war veteran. He disappear
ed around election day and police
sent out an alarm for him. Mrs.
Smiths only known means of sup
port was a few dollars she made
as a washerwoman.
Her body was discovered after
the proprietor of the store to which
she walked daily through the
woods to buy food became SUSPECT
Gus after noticing she had not ap-
peared since election day.

lis il true| screamed James
Lyons, charged with the murder OF
his wife, when the jury composed
OF ten women, and two men, march
ed solemnly into the court room
and announced the verdict. mot
guilty" The verdict was one out
Of ten thousand, in favor Of man
who killed his wife with an iron
pipe. A great deal OF credit was
due to Attorney Charles Mahoney,
the defense lawyer. From the be-
ginning to the end of the Lyons
case, he conducted a clean, soft
toned, intelligent and convincing
argument and saved James Lyons
from spending the next twenty
years OF his life in prison.
The pendulum OF time swings
towards new progress for the Ne
gro. The Negro vote played an
important part in bringing about
the reelection OF President Roose-
welt and many Democratic federal
state and county officials. Now.
the thing uppermost in the minds
OF northern Negroes is the passage
OF the Costigan-Wagner Anti Lyn-
ching Bill. Many of the newly e.
lected Democratic officials pledged
themselves to support this bill in
Congress and Senate. President
Roosevelt recently stated to Off
Gals of the n. A. A. c. p. that II
the bill reaches his desk. he will
sign 1t. Now, the big question is
will the Northern Democrats in the
House of Representatives and the
Senate permit Southern Democratic
senator's to stage filibustering
marathon, 10 prevent the passage
OF the bill? The acid text is due
soon.
Another question close to the
heart of the Northern Negro is the
passage of a bill to enforce the
right of Negroes to vote in the
South. In a recent editorial in the
New York Times, regarding the
proposed abolition of the electoral
college, the way in which this sub
Ject involves the race issue, was
aired. The editorial reads:
AT present the Presidential Ell
ection is under the control of the
states. They define the qualifica-
tons of the voters, fix the methods
and time of registration, and ac-
tually conduct the election by their
own officials.
Would they be easily induced
to surrender these important func-
tons? Would they really place
themselves under universal federal
law for Presidential Election, with
a host of federal Supervisors to
take charge of the voting?
THE Southern States would be
almost certain to set up obstacles
to the plan. This would mean in
the South drive to permit Negroes
to exercise their right of suffrage.
If they lid it in federal election,
they would be encouraged to de-
mand it in state and local cleo
tions."
Jay Hayden says;
mot so long ago, IT was the
practice of Northern Republicans
at the opening of a session of Con-
gress, to introduce a bill propos-
ing federal control of Presidential
and Congressional Elections; bat
with the Democrats standing a.
gainst it, this offering produced
nothing more than flood of bitter
oratory.
"If it is revived now, and it is
safe bet it will be there is

 The peasant fought back, 1t was said, forced the aviator to his cart, and started toward Pokrovka. Dur- ing the ride, 1t was asserted, the Japanese attacked the pet with his sword. The peasant succeeded in disarming the Japanese after wounding him, it was said.
 Then the peasant met two Russ sian border guardsmen, according to the coininunique, and informed them of the position of the airplane. As they approached, the cora- fTlunique said. the flyer who was guarding 1t fired on them. The bor- der patrolmen withheld fire. When the Japanese fired again, they fired back and wounded him.
 Other Disputes
 Soon after this coimmunique, re- porting perhaps one of the most serious of long series along the Siberian Manchukuoan frontier, there was another official statement which reported that three Japanese Manchukuoan officers and ono Chinese officer had been arrested since Dec. 90 on the charge of cross ing the border illegally. All are held for investigation.
 News of these detentions came in official dispatches from Khabarovsk, Siberia.
