eng the description Of Copeland
was employed at the Frestone Tire
and Rubber Company in Akron
under the name Love Golden.
Under instructions from Wash
ington, Akron police arrested
Love Golden" July Is, 1923, and,
on July II, notified police here
that Love Golden" fitted all de-
tails of the police circulars. I'm
mediately Detective Sergea n t
Thomas F. Sweeney and the now
Inspector Edward j. Kelly were on
their way to Ohio to return to re-
turn the prisoner to the Capital.
When the party arrived at
Union Station here, q colored
woman who had been in frequent
attendance at Jail funct lions
greeted Love Golden" with:
"Glad to Sc you back, Mr..
Copeland"
Copeland's rejoinder was:
"That woman must be mis-
taken. My name is Love Golden"
Copeland insisted for months
that he was not the escaped muir
derer, even though bullet marks,
scars and physical characteristics
proved concluSively that Love Col
den and Herbert Copeland were
one and the same person.
Series Of Appeals
When news of his recapture had
been printed in other sections of
the country, what police believed
to be a well-planned attempt to
substitute Copeland'S contention
TRANSFERRED.
Late in July, 1923, letter was
received by police here from Oma.
ha, Neb., with the request that it
be forwarded to Copeland. It
stated that the writer was Mrs.
Emily Golden, Loves mother, and
gave details of family history and
relationships. Omaha police were
unable to find the writer.
While Copeland languished in
District Jail awaiting his last day
on earth, the reason for his slaugh-
ter of McParlin and Conrad be-
came apparent.
It was found that he had previ-
ouSly lived in Galveston, Tex, and
had shot and killed one Charles
Robinson, a fellow dock-worker, in
a rooming- house brawl. Copeland
had fled north and was later in
dicted for murder by a Galveston
county grand jury.
When McParlin and Officer
} Conrad had insisted that he &C.
company them on that fateful
May night in 1918, Copeland,
conscience heavy with guilt, was
under the impression that he was
being taken for the Texas muir
der.
After a series of appeals and
stays of execution, Copeland fl.
na1ly walked UP the steps to the
scaffold in the District Jail, Janu'
airy %, 1925. The trap was sprung
at 10 a. m. and after a few spas
modic jerks, the body of Herbert
Copeland swung lifeless from the
gibbett.
He was the last man to be hung
by the neck until dead by order
OF a District Of Columbia court.
The Washington times., 1936-04-29

Police officials were frankly
skeptical about Copeland's exit
from his cell by means Of the
small aperture from which the
bars had been sawed. It was nc
secret at the time Of the escape
that some police officials were
convinced that Copeland had
made his way out Of the cell
through the cell door and had
been aided by outside sources.
Inside Job?
Whether or not there was any
basis for these beliefs, change in
prison administration was put into
effect shortly after Copeland fled
to freedom.
First reports of Copeland's where
aboutS was received here in De-
cember, 1919, from the American
consul at Fort William and Port
Arthur, Ontario, Canada. Atten-
ton drawn by police posters which
broadcast Copeland's photograph,
description and fingerprintS
throughout the Continent, the con-
sui stated that a man resembling
Copeland was believed to be work
ing at a hotel in Harnpayne, On
tario, under the name of George
Williams.
On complaint of the Metropoli-
tan Police, the Royal Northwest
Mounted Police took up the hunt,
only to find that Williams" had
left Harnpayne for points west.
At Port Arthur it was found that
Williams" had entered the en-
ploy Of the Canadian government
railway at Winnipeg.
No trace of Copeland was found
on the railroad, and the mounted
police next concentrated on Ber-
thierville, Quebec, where the same
construction company for which
he had worked at Indian Head,
Md, was engaged in a building
job. Copeland was known to the
workers, but had not been en-
ployed at Berthierville, and there
the trail ended as 1920 came to q
close.
Although the search for Cope
land was continued relentlessly,
all clues proved fruitless as the
months dragged by. Tips and
identifications were received from
all sections of the country, but
Copeland was not found.
Over four years after the Jail
break, Washington police, in some
unexplained manner, received in
formation which proved authentic.
It was learned that a man answer

AS Sam was about to lock the

mackinaw, appeared. 1t was cold,

Could he buy a pair?
'Let him in, SAM" was Null

The youth entered. Something
warm, perhaps q pair Of auto
gloves was what he wanted. Null.
care selected pair and turned
to find himself staring into the
menacing barrel of an automatic
pistol.
"Never mind the gloves, I
want money" grOwled the
youth.
"I'll get some money" Null

bullet through his heart. Mul.

quick enough.
"Stay where you are" was the
order barked at Sam as the
youth rifled the cash drawer Of
its contents"
He removed a wallet from the
pocket of the lifeless form at his
feet and wrenched the pistol from
the deathly clutch Of Mulcare'S
fingers. With a final warning to
Sam, the youth rushed from the
store and disappeared down Four
teenth Street.
Sam summoned police and a
dragnet was thrown about the
Capital. Highways were guarded,

streets and alleys were combed
and detectives were stationed at
all bus, railway and street Car ter
minalS.
Detective Sergeant James E.
Armstrong, arriving at the Four
teenth Street store, had a bunch
that the killer might be headed
for the Union Station. With Sam
in tow, he haStened to the terminal
and loitered among the milling
throng Of travellers in the waiting
room.
MORALLY Wounded
Sam, teeth still chattering and
ears reverberating from the roar
of the death gun, was unable to
spot any one whom he could iden-
tify as the murderer. Convinced
that he was on the right track, De.
tective Armstrong continued the
vigil.
Spying a rather short young
man with a mackinaw, non
chalantly munching popcorn in
the center of the waiting room, De-
tectlve Armstrong asked Sam if
that could be the hold-up man.
Sam said he wasn't at all sure
since he was too scared to re-
member much about how the
killer looked.
Detective Armstrong decided to
question the youth at all events
and advanced through the crowd.
81 want to talk to you," said
Armstrong approaching.
The youth looked up. His eyes
narrowed. He stood silently and
his hand slid into his coat pocket.
Two shots echoed through the
waiting room and Detective Ser
geant Armstrong lay mortally
wounded as blood oozed from his
chest.

Cardinals Start
Second Dav
OF Drills

The Catholic University foot
ball team started the second day
practice drills this morning little
1atlgued from the Snappy work
out that greeted the team yeSter-
day on Killion field.
All candidates reported in ex-
cellent condition with the excep-
ton Of Joe Anthonavage, stellar
left guard, who reported a bit
below par. While painting his
fathers house Labor Day, the
scaffolding collapsed and tie Card
mai ineman was Sprawled to the
hard earth below. Anthonavage'S
body is severely bruised, but for
tunately no bones were broken.
1t IS expected he will be in shape
again by the middle of next week.
Coach Dutch Bergman, pleased
with his candidates, divided the
squad into three teams, running
plays before yesterdays sessions
were completed. In fact it would
not be surprising if the Cardinal
mentor would give the outfit a
lew new plays as a starter to-
morrow.
Two members of the team are
still absent. These lads are Joe
BunSa, the welterweight boxer
and end candidate, and Charley
Quinn, quarterback. Both are
SophomoreS and it is believed that
these lads will report no later than
tomorrow, thus bringing up the
roster to 80.
In the firSt-string lineup this
morning, Bergman had Leo Kat
alinas at Capt. Ed Karpowich'S
vacant post at left tackle; Ferd
Rogers, formerly known as Rydzew-
ski, at George Mulligan's right
end berth; Dick Arnold in Bill
LajouSky'S right guard spot, and
Speck Foley and Dixie Walker
alternating at Pete Dranginis'
quarterback position.

Kirk Miller Says:

(COnt. from First Sports Page)
Oddly enough, McCarthy'S sec
ond pennant in 1882 meant that
the Yankees were to oppose Joe's
former Chicago Cubs, which they
did to the tune of four straight
victories.
Never Played as Major
Mccarthy missed by only half
a game grabbing a flag in the
New York and Pennsylvania
League, a ClaSS-A loop in his
early days in the game. He never
played in the majors, but was a
crack college shortStop.
Of the players who won pen
nants for New York in 1921, 1922
and 1928, none remain with the
Yankees.
Lou Gehrig and Tony I,azzeri
are the only active survivors of
the flag-winners of 1926, '27 and
90 although Earle Combs who
took part in those three series,
still is with New York as a coach.
Marx Koenig, of the Giants,
was the Yankee shortstop in '26,
'27 and '28 and also played
against the Yankees as a mem
Der of the Cubs in '32.
In addition to Gehrig and Lag
zeri, the Yankees have five
others who have had World
Series experience. Ruffing and
Gomez each pitched and won a
game from the Cubs in 1882
while Crosetti and Dickey played
throughout that series.
The fifth is Pat Malone who
lost two games for the Cubs
in 1929.

Les Tietje looked like a real
conner when he came up to the
Chicago White Sox in 1888. He
won his first game, beating the
New York Yankees, 4 to 3.
In 1882 Tietje made a name for
himself by pitching a 16-inning
contest against Keokuk in the Mis-
Sissippi Valley League. His team
was the Waterloo Club.
In the early months of 1888 he
hurled for Dallas, of the Texas
League, winning Is and losing 10,
eight of these reverseS by the one
run margin.
He had a poor season with the
White Sox in 1885 and was traded
to the st. Louis Browns. Tietje
was born in Sumner, Iowa, Sep

'PANICS' SHOW
INTO WILD
PARADE
BY JAMES L. KMGALLEN

CLEVELAND, June II U.N.S0,
Mrs. Queenie Ethel Clair. the
dazzling blonde in white, had
quite q night Of 1t, waving the
flag for Hoover.
She just about started the 81
minute Hoover demonstration
and she certainly ended it. She
was the last one parading the
convention floor, informing:
1--WE want HOOver!"
It was all right for q while. Mrs.
Clair was an eyeful, with her
blonde tresses glinting under the
glare Of the lights. But after q
bit her show palled.
Former United States Senator
Jim" watson Of Indiana began
to cast baleful eye at her. So
did others, including members Of
the Kansas delegation, who, Of
course, are all for Landon.
You couldn't talk to the lady
for quite a while. But. as the
demonstration died down and
people were leaving the hall, this
reporter assisted Mrs. Clair from
atop a chair in the Kansas dele
cation and asked:
'WeI, why do you want
HOOver?"
She replied:
Because I'm tired Of paying
taxes"
Was she a delegate? No. She
was wearing her husbands badge,
reading "Dr. Francis Clair. !"
Where was her husband? Oh,
back at the hotel. "I just walked
in from the hotel, and here I
am" she said. Where was she
from? New York. She added:
~ have property in New York
and in EnglewOOd, N. J. I live
at the Kennedy Warren, Wash
ingtOn, d. c. My husband is =
physician, and he's the author
of the Clair plan for farm and
national prosperity"
Camera men rushed over and
posed her for pictures. She didn't
mind that at all. Suddenly she
leaped up on chair again and,
waving the red, white and blue,
cried hoarSely:
"We've got to have someone
who'll save the Constitution.
We want HOOver!"
The band had long since quit
musical accompaniment to the
phrase, I'VE want Hoover" and
the slogan was now flatter than q
pancake. Queenie looked around.
