All the 421 entries didn't run.
Some were scratched. And some
that we're not scratched didn't
run either.
Which is why we don't under
stand the reason for building
the machines of iron when the
strain is all on the public.
They're talking of skimming
10 per cent off the top. Next
they'll be claiming the guillotine

Ten per cent is too much

Jealousy. She was freed by Q fury.

jealousy. She was freed by 6 jury.
 John Huston, who lists 20 ver- sions of the song in his book, "Fran..le and Johnny" says Britt had the posthumous distinction of being Johnny. Some versions of the song list Britts name as Albert or simply Al and Huston says he liked to be called that In preference to Allen. Miss Baker alleges the name was changed to Johnny after Britt's parents objected. Huston, in his book, has supported this theory in describing how the song was de- veloped by the loose-fingered inusi- clans of Targee street. once the cen- ter of St. Louis night life.
 Origin Around 1850
 Dr. Gamer and Professor Williams say there is good evidence to show that the song originated as early as 1850. Williams says Frankie and Johnny" ballad was popular among Union soldiers in the Vicks- burg campaign of 1863, and that @ copy of i2 stanzas made by @ young officer has been preserved.
 Williams says 1t Is his theory there were two homicides about 50 years apart and in each case the killer was 0 girl named Frankie. He says when the second Frankie killed 6 man named Albert or Allen in 1899, the name Frankie suggested the old ballad and 1t was revived with the mans name changed to Albert.
 Williams poins out that in vir- tually all versions of the song, Frankie shot her man in e jealous rage because he was making love to another girl. In the incident of 1899, he says, Frankie shot Albert because he was drunk and violent, not because he "done her wrong," by making love to another.
 Dated by One Word
 Williams also points out what he calls internal evidence" that the ballad could not have originated in 1899. He says in many versions Johnny Is referred to as q "crib man." Q man who slept in corn cribs or shacks built like corncribs, with a door but no windows.
 The term "crib man" was an archaic expression in 1899, Wil- Hams says, but in 1850, St. Louis was Q relatively small community with Q fringe of half-rural settle. ments. Free Negroes generally lived in these settlements where the houses were primitive shacks or cribs" he says.
 pr. Qainor, the author of . col- lection of American folk songs and ballads, says 1t is not unusual for people to adapt c popular song to an incident. He cites the case Of Uncle Bill Thomas, 0 folk singer In West Virginia, who swore that he knew the young Johnny Ram dall in the ballad who was poisoned by his "true-love." Dr. Galnor points out that the original Lord Randall lived many centuries ago. He says he once talked to c man who insisted that he was the water boy on the job where the famous Negro, John Henry, did his last work.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-12-06

Miss Baker, who admits she IS 60, advanced her claim to having been the rollicking, high-brown belle of Targee street to prove that she was wronged, this time not by her man, but by Republic Pictures who filmed the movie, Frankie and Johnny" in 1886.
 pr. Patrick Ward Gamer, assist ant professor of English at St. Louis University, an authority on Amer ican folk songs and Tyrell Williams, professor of law at Washington Uni- versity, both agree that the popular bar room song is based on some St Louis incident. Both. however, tn- sist the date of the incident pre- cedes the shooting of Allen Britt by Miss Baker in 1899.
 Sues For S200,0O0
 Suit for $200,000 damages filed by Miss Baker against Republic Pic lures is pending in circuit court here. She charges the Aim, which starred Chester Morris and Helen Morgan, invaded her privacy and defamed her character.
 Tn support of her claim, Miss Baker Is prepared to submit as evi. dence @ transcript of Q coroner's in- quest into the death of Britt, an i8- year-old Negro, in which Miss Baker testified she shot Britt because he attacked her with knife in e fit of
