Georgia Acts 10 Gain
Custody Of Burns,
Chain Gang Author
Extrodition Order Signed,
Gov. ToImodee Sends
Officer to New Jersey
BY th. Associated Press.

ATLANTA, Jan. lT.-Gov. Eugene
Talmadge announced today that
New Jersey had agreed to return
Robert Elliott Burns, Georgia's best
known fugitive, and this State is
moving to gain his custody.
Burns won Nationwide attention
with book, Il Am Fugitive From
a Chang-Gang," written after his
escape from Georgia prison camp
in 1922. The book later was made
the basis for a motion picture.
Recaptured in Chicago after sew
eral years Of freedom, he was re-
turned to Georgia, escaped again and
in 1882 successfully resisted extradi-
ton from New Jersey.
Gov. Talmadge signed a new
extradition order today and directed
a Fulton County (Atlanta) officer To
go Immediately to New Jersey to re-
turn Burns.
Vivian L. Stanley, prison and
parole commissioner who has been
handling negotiations for the re-
turn of Burns, was disappointed
when he learned of the Governors
announcement, saying:
Its no use even to send for him
now. He will skip. We might as
well call it all off,
Commissioner Stanley, who still
has pending libel suits against the
producers of the Fugitive" movie,
explained that Burns is not now in
custody. He said New Jersey au-
thorities were willing to have Burns
returned to Georgia now because
he has been causing them lot of
trouble" He said he wasn't sure of
Burns present whereabouts
Latest records here indicate Burns
was operating a tax investigating
office in Newark. When retaken in
Chicago after his first escape he was
a well-paid publisher of business
magazines.

Oklahoma, Dies
9TH District Democrat
Succumbs to Influenza
In His Apartment

Representative Sam c. Massingale,
10, Democrat, OF Oklahoma. died
today of influenza in his apartment
in George Washington Inn.
He had been a member of Congress
since 1884.
Dr.. George w. Calver, House
physician, issued the following bull

Representative MaSsingale died
at 1890 pm. from heart failure p e.
cipitated by a case of grippe. His

InaSmuch as he came from an
agricultural district in Oklahoma

devoted his efforts on Capitol Hill to
aid the farmers.
At the time of his death, he was
pressing for passage of his Cost of

D. {. Committee
Reynolds Is in Line;
Van kuys Awarded
Judiciary Post
Ry T. A. O'LEARY,

Senator McCarran, Democrat, OF
Nevada, this afternoon was offered
but again declined the chairman
ship of the Senate District Commit
tee.
The Democratic Steering Commit
tee announced he had been given
the District post after it had award
ed craftsmanship of the Judiciary
Committee to Senator Van Nuys,
Democrat, of Indiana. Senators NC
Carran. and Van Nuys each had
claimed the judiciary post. They
both went on the committee the
same day in 1888.
AS soon as he learned OF the
Steering Committees action, how
ever, Senator McCarran announced
that his rejection of the District
craftsmanship was as emphatic and
final" now as on November 9, when
he wrote to Majority Leader Bark
ley. He made public this afternoon
that letter, in which he announced
he would decline the District chair
manship if it came to him and ex-
planned that he regarded himself as
in line for the judiciary chairman
ship.
The presumption at the Capitol is
that the Steering Committee will
have to reconsider the District
choice, with Senator Reynolds, Dem
ocrat, of North Carolina next in line.
Senator Reynolds made known two
weeks ago that he would accept the
District appointment if it come to
him and since then has announced
some of the plans he has in mind
for improving conditions in the Dis

Throughout the three-year period
the figures showed the United States
