Effort to Escape.
Nv tie Associated Press.


MONROE, Mich, January al
Alcide (Frenchy) Benoit, youthful
paroled convict, captured after 90
hour man hunt, told today how he
killed Michigan State Policeman
Richards F. Hammond and then
handcuffed the officers body to
rural mail box.
The prisoner was arraigned and held
for trial on a murder charge. He
pleaded innocent and waived examina-
ton.
County Prosecutor Francis Ready
announced the confession of the "a
year-old black-haired gunman shortly
after Benoit's desperate game of hide
and-seek over sleet-covered country
areas with officers of three States
and the Federal Government ended
in Monroe-a short distance from the
spot where he abducted Trooper Ham
mond at midnight Tuesday.
Officers Halt Car.
Hammond and Trooper Sam Sineni
halted a stolen car occupied by Benoit
and John H. Smith, 20, alias Delberto,
and decided to take the pair to head
quarters for questioning in connection
with the abduction of Fred Williams,
Detroit used car salesman, who
was left tied to tree at Toledo early
Tuesday night.
Il got into the patrol car with
the officer (Hammond), Benoit orally
confessed to Prosecutor Francis Ready,
State Police Capt Lawrence A. Lyon
and Sheriff Joseph j. Barley. Sineni
and Smith followed In the seized
automobile.
"As the car started jammed the
gun into the officers ribs and told
him to slow down." Benoit said.
Instead Hammond started to 60
faster, so I slugged him over the
eye with the butt Of my pistol and
told him to turn onto q side road.
Fires at Following Car.
1.-The other officer (SinenD behind
came up close. I turned around and
fred three shots. When I started
shooting, Hammond said he was go
ing to ditch the car, and I told him
II he did I'd kill him sure.
Then the other car went into the
ditch and I stopped. I was going to
take my partner (Smith) away from
the other cop. But truck blocked
the way, so I made Hammond drive
down lonely roads until We came to
where I left him"
This was 5 miles southeast Of Erie,
ha
where Benoit abandoned the blood
stained patrol car and escaped into
the woods
II made Hammond stop" Benoit
was quoted as confessing. Then I
got out and put one of the hand
cuffs on his wrists. When I tried to
get him out of the car he put up a
fight, and we rolled over on the
ground. I could see he was getting
the best of me. Then I fired during
the scuff1e, and he got limp. cuffed
his hands around the post (of the mail
box"
Benoit, bleeding profusely from cuts
on his head, insisted to officers, how
ever, that he did not realize he had
shot Trooper Hammond until the off,
ceer's body went limp and he succeed
ed in shackling him to the post.
Warming on Radio.
After leaving the body. Benoit said,
che radio in the police car brought
realization that a highway blockade

URGE SHARING
OF AAA AID BY
.TENANT,OVNER
Program to Meet South
Growing Problem Of
fered at Dallas

DALLAS, Texas, May 5. CUP.
A two-fold attack on the problem
of farm tenancy in the South is
recommended by DR.. j. 7 San
ders, assistant director Of the Re-
settlement Administration in Tex
as and Oklahoma.
To swing the trend from ten
ancy toward farm ownership, he
urged improvements in the type
of tenancy while making purchase
| of farms easier.
The Agricultural Adjustment
A administration should guarantee
tenants an equitable share in all
government payments. DR.. San
ders said, and should demand fair
treatment of tenants by landlords
before permitting rented farms to
participate in AAA programs.
"The deplorably defective, short
time credit system of the South
must be replaced by system
that furnishes credit at a reason
able interest rate" he said. "Such
credit should be safeguarded by a
more balanced type of farm or.
ganization in which cash crops are
replaced by stable livestock enter
prises. x-n
HIGH INTEREST ATTACKED
zone thing is certain: that an
nual rates of interest ranging
from 20 to so per cent for store
credit and from 10 to 20 per cent
| for other credit cannot character
izo short-term credit in the South,
ne has been the case in the past.
if we are to promote ownership.
DR.. Sanders reported IN TINS
connection that the South now
tends toward an ovcr-production
of corn, replacing the cash crop
cotton.
The South had 10 per cent
| more acres planted in corn during
! 1925 than were planted in cotton.
While he commended the practice
Of growing feed for work STOCK
Dr. Sanders said Southern farm
ers could not hope to compete
with the Middle West in growing
feed for sale. o,
"A sane promotion of owner
! ship will stabilize the supply OF
surplus crops. Owners do not
change their crop and livestock
enterprises with changes in price
so much as do the mobile cash
crop tenant farmers" said DIR.

ONE IN FOUR AS TENANTS
DR.. Sanders estimated that
about Is to 20 per cent OF all
southern farms might we'll be oc-
cupied by tenants, learning how to
manage before they attempt to
operate farms of their own. Such
experience can be obtained in five
to seven years, he said, while the
average earning life of a farmer
is about 40-45 years.
Inflated land value between
1900 and 1920 was cited as the

CHICKS WIN TO

Pebs Are Rained Out Of
Chance to Maintain
First Place Tie
(UNITED PRESS)

The Memphis Chicks moved out
of a tie for first into undisputcd
top ranking position in the South
ern Association Tuesday with a
CA victory over the Knoxville
Smokes.
Tied with Little Rock with nine
won and six lost, the Chicks made
it 10 won anu six lost for a per-
centage of .625 as they pounded
Mcclure Knoxville pitcher, for
II hits to overcome 40 lead.
The Smokes piled up their four
runs in the first inning. They
collected nine hits from Stewart
and Doyle. The Chicks scattered
their runs over six innings to
score once in the second, twice in
the fourth and three times in the
sixth.
The unpredictable Little Rock
Pebs lost their chance to remain
in a first place tie when their
game was rained out. The Chat
tanooga-Bi Birmingham game also
was rained out.

Orleans in their second night
game.
The Crackers climbed up to
within half a game of the third

pounded five Pelican hurlers for
IA hits to take tho game IL to a.
Capdeville had held the Crack
ers in check until they rolled out
their heavy artillery in the sew
enth. Coming into the seventh,
Atlanta was leading 2 to |. But
they drove in five runs in the
seventh, three in the eighth and
their final marker in the ninth.

that period, he said. the price OF
farm land rose from 1884 to
5000 an acre. an increase OF
800 per cent. The increase in rem
tails on cotton farms was so PEI
cent less rapid in the period 1900
1920. During the succeeding ID
years, DR.. Sanders said, the bal
ancc was upset even more because
rentals declined more rapidly than
land prices.
DR.. Sanders recommended sew

the number of farm owners:
