Bandit Suspect
Makes Escape
Gun Found in
Stolen Machine

"a shotgun found in a stolen
car which was wrecked in Ma
comb county last night led
peace-officers to believe that the
thieves planned e use the auto
mobile in . robbery attempt.
A suspect, arrested by Con-
stable Carr. Of Van Dyke,
escaped soon after he was appre-
hended near the scene Of the &C.
cident, and Van Dyke officers
pressed their search for "three
men" who were said to have
fed after the car crashed into a
ditch near the intersection of 10
Mile and Mound roads.
The car was stolen ., ON a De-
troit parking lot yesterday after
noon and was believed wrecked
shortly after 10 o'clock last
night.
Constable Carr was said to
have turned the suspect over to
an unidentified bystander while
he sought the other two, the
prisoner making q break while
he was gone.
The shotgun, q single-shot lie
gauge, was found in the back
seat of the car, apparently aban-
doned when the trio fed.

speaker, they didn't believe it

I helped him to his feet" the

me but I could see he'd injured
his foot some way. I helped
him into the house. BY this

out of bed and made tea. He de-
clined the tea and smiled when

4-HOUR FLIGHT
Mclean said Hess told him his
flight from Germany had taken
about four hours. He was fly
ing a fast Messerschmitt plane
in which, the Germans said, he
took off about 6 pm. Saturday
from Augsburg, Bavaria. ap-
proximately 800 miles away.
II could see from the way he
spoke that he was a man of Gull
ture," Mclean said. His Eng
lish, although it had a foreign
accent, was very clear, and he
understood every word we said
to him.
He was a very striking-look-
ing man, wearing a magnificent
flying suit. His watch and iden-
tity bracelet were of gold.
GENTLEMANLY
He wouldn't discuss his jour-
ney. He was most gentlemanly
in his attitude to my mother and
sister and thanked us for what
we had done for him. He was
most anxious about the para
chute, which he said he'd like to
keep because it saved his life.
He wouldn't tell us who he was,
and we thought he was just an
other German airman.
when the officials came he
greeted them with a smile and
assured them he was unarmed
and stood up and allowed them
to search him. Then. he was
taken away"

Authoritative quarters in Lon

These quarters said Hess

did last Saturday night - he

Hess left q wife and child in
Germany in setting off on his
fantastic venture, just six days
after he sat side by side with
Hitler at q meeting of the Ger
man Reichstag.
Berlin quarters said Hess SUI
fered "hallucinations" as q re-
suit of q long standing stomach
disorder, affliction Of the nerves
and consequent sleeplessness.
The British said he seemed
normal and the surprised Scot
fish farmer who found him an

him as polite and gentlemanly,
chatting calmly while he waited
for authorities.

and were told unfortunately" 1t
must be assumed he crashed or
met with some other accident.
Government spokesman in
Berlin shrugged aside without
comment the British reports that
Hess had been found.
The British declared he had
been identified positively.
Britons who received with
amazement the news the No. 3
Nazi had become their No. l
prisoner speculated gleefully on
possible i'll effects of the devel-
opment in Germany-and on
possible benefits to their own
war effort.
In Washington as in London,
most authorities expressed con-
viction Hess was sane and that
the German hints to the contrary
were put out to explain his ac-
ton to the German people and
discredit whatever he might tell
the British.
The British press and public
specialized that ne must have
come to break with Hitler after
constant close association since
the first dim dawn of national
socialism; that his fight indicat-
ed Hess feared he might be on
the next Nazi purge list; that he
came to Britain as the only
refuge he could reach from the
fuehrer he abandoned.
Hitler, meanwhile, stepped
back into personal leadership Of
the national socialist party,
which Hess had directed as his
deputy.
A German announcement dis
closed that the fuehrer, with
Foreign Minister Joachim Won
Ribbentrop, had held a confer
ence with Frances vice premier
Jean Darlan.
Althogh the announcement did
not disclose the place of the
meeting or the questions dis.

the talk as the forerunner Of new
French concessions to the Ger

the right of passage of troops

ranean.
