|Missing-Fingers Men on Bus
Give Police Rare Coincidence

This Is the case Of the impossible
coincidence, which substantiates q
theory that number Of people have
long overwhelmingly, that men
with two fingers missing OH their
left hands are not necessarily fugi-
tives from q chain gang.
Shortly after midnight, police re-
ceived call from North Carolina,
from policeman who asked II the
local ofncers would be obliging
enough to step down to bus station
and arrest q colored convict who
had escaped from q chain gang.
The convict was known to be on
the bus and he wouldn't be hard
to spot, the North Carolina officer
said. For the third finger and the
little finger on his left hand were
missing.
Detective Sergt. Thomas Nalley
and Policeman c. o. Rouse were
given complete description of the
fugitive and sent down to appre-
hend him. There was no sign Of the
suspect on the bus, so the police
men went to another station.
There they found another bus
pulling in. They boarded it, looked
over the passengers and within a
few seconds spotted a colored man
who fitted the description exactly.
They looked at his left hand and
found that the two fingers were
missing.
So they detained him. He pro-
tested loud and long that he was no
chain gang fugitive, but that is an
old story. Sergt. Nalley was leading
his prisoner away when his eyes fell

with chain gangs, North Carolina or
police.
For long time Mr.. Nalley talked
to the two. Then he thought Of
something. He made them pull up
the legs Of their trousers. The first
mans legs were unmarked-but near
the second mans ankles were the
marks left by shackles.
He took the second man to the
1st precinct after releasing the
first suspect. A few hours later
police found the prisoner SEM
