President Roosevelt revived last

Fugitive Slayer
Surrenders in Dallas
For Texas Justice
GoIIoeIy, Georgia
LITER, Hires Lawyer
To Fight Extrodition
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DALLAS, Oct. 11.-Bound by bars
again, Richard Gallogly, wealthy
fugitive Georgia nfe-termer, today
held faith in Texas justice" and in
sisted he would never be extradited
back to State wanting him to con-
tinue payment on sentence for
murder.
The 29-year- old member of a
prominent Georgia family surren-
dered yesterday to Sheriff Smoot
Schmid and said he deliberately
threaded his way to Dallas, where
there are real men who will under
stand my case"
The almost handsome, we'll
dressed fugitive had served 10 years
of life sentence imposed after he
pleaded guilty as an accessory to the
Staying Of an Atlanta drugstore clerk.
Escaped With Wife.
Five days ago, while being trans
ferred from an Atlanta hospital to
Reidsville State Prison. Gallogly
escaped with his beautiful, blond
wife of few months.
Two guards were in the front of
the automobile; Gallogly, his wife
and mother in the rear seat. Gal
logly said he used a piece of wood
he had found in his hospital room
closet to jab into the back Of one of
the guards.
His wife accompanied him only
because I had fever and she feared
for my health" Officers had not
located her. Gallogly last saw her
on street corner as he left Ito visit
an attorney and surrender"
The pale former Oglethorpe Uni
versity student said his mother
pleaded with him not to escape, but
he replied it was his only hope for
justice'-f1ight to another State.
The Georgian told Sheriff Schmld
he made a leisurely four-day trip of
thousand miles through five States
since he escaped.
Told Mother of Decision.
Only two hours before his sur
render, Gallogly had telephoned his
mother in Atlanta that he was
giving up.
Informed prison guard had been
charged with aiding his escape,
Gallogly heatedly insisted the guards
knew nothing of his plans and were
not responsible for his getaway.
Il deliberately came to Dallas
and Texas-because the people out
here in the Southwest are real men.
They'll understand my case"
Meanwhile, Sheriff Schmid held
him prisoner and said Georgia
officers were en- route to request
extradition.
Gallogly said he had engaged an
attorney, one that recently figured
in a sensational extradition hearing
for a Texas oil man in Federal
Court.
Il had read in the newspapers
about the Texas courts refusing to
extradite the oil man and l knew l
could get justice here
Texas Officials Silent.
Texas officials did not comment on
Gallogly's plea for Texas justice"
Gallogly debunked reports Of
''many, many years" that the Staying
of the drug clerk was the result OF
q search for thrills.
Its pure bosh-We were just
drinking
He described again details of the
Staying which led to death SEN
tence for his companion, George
Harsh, later committed to life upon
Gallogly's agreement to plead guilty
and take a life sentence. Three
efforts for a parole have failed
Gallogly said, and political persecu-
ton will keep me from getting
