GETS SENTENCE FOR
HARBORING CONVICT
Fayetteville Man Goes to Jail and
Son on Probation; Aided Pri-
SON Fugitives

Fayetteville, Sept. 20 (AP)-Claude
Hahn, one-time road house operator,
and his son, Freddie, pleaded guilty
in Federal court here today to charges
of harboring the late Colcy Gain,
desperate, and his companion, Roy
Cobb, while they were fugitives from
justice.
The defendants entered the plea
after Cobb, now serving q 40-year sen
tence at State Prison, testified that
he and Cain on one occasion spent
four days at Hahn's road house. While
there, Cobb said, Hahn and his son
brought them food while they kept
themselves concealed from officers.
Judge l. M. Meelzins sentenced the
elder Hahn to six months and a day
in the Cumberland county jail and
fined him $500 and placed Freddie
Hahn on probation for Two years.
Federal agents said the pair were
the fifth and sixth defendants CON
victed of harboring fugitives and said
the sentences were the ightest JIM
posed.
Coley Cain was shot to death by
South Carolina Officers near Florence,
S. c., about year ago after rum

NEW BUREAU WILL
BEGIN January |
Investigation and Identified
ton Work To Be Launch
ed by State
Daily Dispatch Bureau.
- g. NVynIAn~ HnfAl

-
Raleigh, Sept. 22-The State Blu
reau of Investigation and ldentlflca-
ton, authori ed by the 1887 General
Assembly, will be set up about the
first of next year, in the opinion of
Governor Clyde r. Hoey, upon whose
discretion rests responsibility for its
establishment.
There is now available for the pur-
pose of establishing the bureau APP
proximately $500, the governor said,
this being half the money which has
been collected in all parts of the
State and turned in to the State treas
ury. Under the Bureau act, which
went into effect March %, an addi-
tional 81 in costs is collected against
every defendant convicted in criminal
courts of the State, justices of the
peace excepted.
Approximately $1,000 so collected
has been turned in to the state, but
half of it has gone into "The Law
Enforcement Officers Benefit Fund"
which under the act will be used to
aid dependents of law enforcement of
ficers killed or seriously incapacitated
while in the discharge of duty.
When the governor decides that
there is money enough to create the
bureau, he will have at his disposal
an agency completely under his con-
troll and which ne is specifically au-
thorized to use not only in preparing
and keeping all records of Identified
ton of criminals but in Cd investigat-
ing and preparing evidence in the
event of any lynching or mob VOL
ence; investigating all cases arising
from frauds in elections; (3) investi-
gazing cases arising from frauds
arising under the Social Security laws
"a investigating violations of the
gaming laws, lottery laws and matters
of a similar nature.
Heading the bureau, when set UP,
will be director whose salary is not
specified, but which is authorized to
be. set by the Budget Bureau.

PRISON INDUSTRIES
DECISION WAITING
Expected To Be Reached
Next Week by Highway
Commission, However
Daily Dispatch Bnrean.
IN The Sir WalfQr HIT,

Raleigh, Sept. 22.-Definite decision
regarding industrial activities. at
States Prison here will be made by
the full Highway Commission next
week, r. Grady Johnson, director of
the penal division, predicted today.
The entire question was discussed
at some length at commission meet
ing last week, but nothing was done
at the specific request of Governor
Clyde r. Hoey, who expressed him
self as feeling that the information
gathered and submitted by suSecom
n1ittee was not then complete enough
on which to act.
Members of the highway commits
sion and of the subcommittee have
put forward a number of suggestions
regarding the industries which might
be set up; but all indications are that
North Carolina will not enter the pri-
son industries field in any any major
way.
In addition to the disinclination of
many to establish any industry which
might compete with private enter
prise, there is the lack of funds to
be considered in any analysis of the
problem. Director Johnson recently
made a tour of several penitentiaries
in other states and upon his return
he said that establishment of any in
dustry would cost approximately ST.
600 per prisoner to be put to work.
In connection with the industry pro-
blem, the highway commission will
also consider the construction of a
new prison for women. Any decision
on it, however, will depend largely
upon disposition of the industries
matter, as the nature of the prison
. will, of course, depend largely upon
the purposes for which it is to be
built. If it is only to house the women
inmates it would se of one type con
struction, if to eb erected as an in
dustrial plant beside, then it would be
of another. Site of the proposed new
prison will also largely depend on the
industry question. r.

His long bedside vigils bored him.

slzirmishing, darted at it from be-
hind, whisking it away toward the
trees to evade the pursuit of its
companions.
Presently the bread was finished.
The smell of fried bacon from the
dining room came to Kennedy's
nostrils. He returned to the house,
feeling on better terms with him
self than he had for many a month.
Esther and the nurse were already
at the table. The nurse was a big,
f1abby young. woman with a bad
red complexion and a professional
manner that became ever more
cheerful as her patient got worse.
She attempted to pet Kennedy,
treating him with an arch bossi-
ness which she thought proper to
great laundering babies Of males.
He hated her, but gave her a
warming good-naorning smile. He
perceived at once that Esther had
had a bad night, and held back the
affectionate inquiry he was in the
habit of making when he foresaw a
satisfactory answer. He went over
to kiss her lightly on the cheek,
and then sat down at his end Of the
table.
Don't you think we might have
our tennis party on Saturday." he
asked, as he unrolled his napkin.
It had been the custom for many
years for the Kennedys to inaugu-
rate the summer season" at West
Shilston by inviting half a dozen
friends to tennis. They would
usually discuss the party for days
in advance, fixing the date when
ever the weather showed signs of
warming up. This year nothing
had been said, and Kennedy was
fully aware that he was breaking
difficult ground.
Esther looked up quickly.
Surely not this year, Tim ?"
He met her strained look with
one Of mild surprise. "Not at all
this year, do you mean, dear?"
II don't know. don't feel I can
face it-not yet, anyway"
II see." Kennedy nodded, and
turned his attention to his egg and
bacon. He ate slowly and deli
cately, in small rnorseis, chewing
his food with extreme thorough
ness. When he haa eaten enough
he took up his newspaper. and

CHAPTER z

KENNEDY did indeed suffer
badly because of his Wife's misfOr-
tune. but for reasons different from
those commonly supposed. He
was incapable of any real feeling
for others. What he felt through
the medium Of his own nerves was
one thing: the sufferings Of others
were not comparable. He could
apprehend their reality, sympathize
with them, strive to pallate them,
but not in the last issue participate
in them to the extent of personal
distress. He was sorry for his wife,
but he was great deal sorrier for
himself because he was lonely
without her.
3 When he had first been told that
Esther was not going to die, he
had jumped to an altogether too
optimistic view of her case. He
had concluded that she would be
ultimately restored to something
like her full health and her former
beauty. So long as he believed
this he was prepared to be patient,
and do everything within his power
to accelerate her recovery. His
long vigils at his wife's beside were
a sacrifice he made in this hope.
They bored him almost as much as
they exhausted him, but Esther
had developed neurotic depen-
dence upon him.. and while he
thought he was helping her to get
back to normal, he was content.
But when he realized that she
would never be more than
shadow of her old self, his inner
attitude underwent a violent
change. The ineffaceable traces of
her agony came home to him with
the force Of blow. She was not
the woman he had known; she was
a ehangeling. He had a horror Of
deforpnity. What made it more
dreadful was that he sensed, in her
eyes, in her pitiful attempts to
make the best of herself when he
visited her, to conceal her manned
limbs from his view when she re-
turned home, that she hoped des-
perately that they soon would take
up their life where they had left
off-when he had been given lit
tie time to adjust himself.
To Esther, in public and private,
he behaved with as much gentle
ness and sympathy as ever. But
his inward reserves grew deeper.
If he was ever again to know peace
Of mind the course Of his life
would have to show change.
One morning in early May Tim
Kennedy got up early, awakened
by the morning sunshine blazing
into his room. He bathed ard
shaved with his usual ulhurried
expedition, slipped into his clothes
end stfolled into the garden. The
grass was drenched with dew, the
air fresh and healing. He had
brought with him large crust
from the dining room, and he pro-
ceeded to break up the bread into
small crumbs, throwing them
around him on the lawn. The birds
seemed to feel something of the
morning, hoped down from the
awakening urgency of the spring
budding trees, and snatched eager
ly at the crumbs.
With discreet gradualness, Ken
nedy shortened his casts, tempting
them within yard of his legs.
His slow, gentle movements did not
alarm the birds. He held one large
piece in his open palm, with arms
outstretched, waiting patient and
still, until before long a holder
sparrow, after some experimental
Henderson daily dispatch., 1937-09-22

there was silence until the meal
was finished. He had not, how.
ever, abandoned the subject. He
waited until the nurse had made
her excuses and left the room, then
put down the paper.
IT really think we ought to have
that party, you know, DEAR"
She hesitated for a moment, fid.
ding with her napkin ring, and
looking down.
"You must understand what I
feel about it," she said at last.
He filed his pipe slowly.
'"That's not very kind of you,
Esther" he said gently. Have |
ever failed you in sympathy"
"Of course not, Tim. It's not
that"
ct do understand. But, my
dear, it's time we had a talk about
all this. You've got to make up
your mind to one of two things
Either you shut yourself up here,
see next to nobody, brood yourself
into a wretched state-or you must
go about, see people, pick up life
where you left off. There's no
other alternative. I know you
don't want to make us both un-
happy"
She avoided his eye.
II used to be enough for you,
Tim. Other people were just
extra"
you're still enough for me-"
He brushed aside her protest
lightly. "But for all that, you're
going to make me unhappy if you
don't make the best of things You
mustn't give in, Esther. :. Harold
will tell you the same"
IT do see people, darling. You
can't say I'm shutting myself up.
But tennis. ."
II know how you feel" He got
up and went to her, placing his
arm round her shoulder. Perhaps
you'll have to sit out this year.
But next season you'll be knocking
'em all over the court, just as in
the old days."
She shook herself angrily.
"Don't talk like that, Tim. You
know I'll never play again"
Nonsense, child, you will, be-
cause you have the will to. You're
too brave to give in"
