The FBI said its agents had been
seeking Walker for months. They
were not able to localize their search
until an unidentified Washington
businessman became suspicious of
Walkers efforts to buy s175,000
farm near Laurel, Md. The busi-
nessman checked with the FBI and
later identified a picture as being
that of Walker.
Arrested at Race Track.
Walker was arrested late Friday
by FBI special agents and Cum
berland detective at the Cumberland
race track as he stepped up to the
cashiers cage to claim a purse won
by one of his horses, Coral Water.
He waived preliminary hearing
before United States Commissioner
James Alfred Avirett, who ordered
him held in default of $1,000 bond
pendi >g his return to Kentucky for
trial.
Sent Orchids Frequently
The FBI gave this account OF
Walkers activities:
Walker met a Kentucky woman
in Lexington bar in March, 1946.
During the courtship that followed
he told her he was expecting an
$4,000 inheritance but was tenn
porarily short of funds. Never
theless he sent her an orchard every
other day.
He declared he was in the race
horse and brokerage business in
Chicago and had been divorced 10
years previously.
The woman was so impressed by
his prospects that she gave him
$4,000 in cash and securities. On
DECEMBER 27, 1916, they were mar
ried. Then Walker departed.
Claimed Marriage Annulled
Walker told FBI agents he had
the marriage annulled in Versailles,
KY. However, his wife filed suit
for divorce in Versailles on July
80, 1947.
Meanwhile, in January, 1947,
Walker married a divorce in New
Orleans.
This woman had been divorced in
1914 and had received warehouse
valued at $55 900 in property set
tlement. She sold the property,
paid off $500 in debts and gave
the remaining money to Walker
after their marriage.
Walker denies having received
this money. The FBI said, however,
that he admitted having received
about $1,000 from his Kentucky wife,
although he said she gave him the
money in 1945-a year before she
says she met him.
The FBI said Walker has been
arrested numerous times since
1926. He was sent to Illinois State
Prison in 1880 on a forgery charge
and returned to the same prison
in 1886 on a conspiracy conviction.
His arrest Friday was on COM
plant filed in Lexington, that he
obtained $4,000 by fraud and
transported the money out Of the
state

Near Plum Point, Md.

an aviation engineer with the Navy
Bureau of Aeronautics, was killed
yesterday afternoon in the flaming
crash of his Grumman twin-engine
fighter near Plum Point, Md, while
on a flight from the Patuxent
Naval Air Station.
Comdr. Seibels was cruising up the
west coast of Chesapeake Bay about
20 miles north of Patuxent when
his fast fighter appeared to de-
velop engine trouble at low alti-
tude. Witnesses said the plane went
into q spin shortly before 1t struck
in the tobacco field of Duke Bright
well, in Calvert County.
The wreckage began to burn while
residents of the area ran to the
scene to rescue the pilot. They were
prevented by the heat from ap-
preaching near enough to reach the
man in the cockpit.
Firemen Forced Back.
A resident OF nearby farm
called the Prince Frederick Fire De-
partment, which responded with
chemical extinguishers. The firemen
moved in close to the blaze, but
were forced back, along with some
100 people who had assembled in
the field, by what appeared to be
ammunition exploding in the
wreckage.
In the group seeking to reach
the pilot was Ray Henle of 3434
Oakland terrace NV, a news COM
mentator for the National Broad
casting Co., who was spending the
week end at his summer cottage in
Plum Point.
Mr.. Henle said that after the
first explosion a fuel tank blew up
and drenched the wreckage with
flaming gasoline.
Helicopter Sent To Scene.
The Patuxent station dispatched
a helicopter' to the scene with
physician.
Comdr. Seibels, whose wife and
family formerly lived in Mont
gomery, Ala. had been attached to
the Patuxent base for the last 10
days. His fellow officers described
him as one of the most promising
young aeronautical engineers in the
Navy.
Comdr. Seibels, 1898 graduate of
the Naval Academy, was assigned
to the Flight Test Division at
Patuxent.
His wife and two children were
visiting his family at Montgomery
when the tragedy occurred.

Gael Sullivan Named
Acting Treasurer Of
Democrat Committee
By Gould Lincoln

Gael Sullivan, executive director
of the Democratic National Commit
tee, has been appointed to serve
also as acting treasurer, taking over
the duties of George Killion, who
resigned recently after being elected
president of the American President
Lines.
The selection of a treasurer Is now
being given consideration by Chair
man Hannegan, President Truman
and other party leaders. Their de-
cision may not be announced until
the committee meets late in Sep
tember or early october.
Edwin w. Pauley, National COM
mitteeman from California and for
mer committee treasurer, has been
suggested for the post, but it Is
understood he does not want it.
The committee craftsmanship
question still awaits Mr.. Hanne-
gan's decision whether his health
will permit him to continue.
Speculation regarding successor
to Mr.. Hannegan has placed Sec
retary of Agriculture Anderson in
first place as Mr.. Truman's choice
for the job. But Mr.. Anderson Is
reported to have objected, also on
grounds of health. Other names
mentioned include Senator McGrath
of Rhode Island, former Represent
ative Joseph E. Casey of Massachus-
sets, and John L. Sullivan, Under
secretary of the Navy, who will be
Secretary of the Navy under the
new unified defense setup.
Friends of Gael Sullivan in and
outside the National Committee have
taken up the cudgels for him and
are urging. his election as chairman
if Mr.. Hannegan resigns. They point
out that during his tenure as execu-
tive director and acting chairman,
he has done valuable spade work
for the 1948 campaign. Further,
through the efforts of Mr.. Sullivan,
members of the National Commit
tee and State chairmen have come
to Washington in recent months for
conferences at regular intervals, and
have presented good picture of the
political situation and the issues in
all parts Of the country.
The committee is being convened
to pick city for the national con-
vention next year, apportion the
delegates among the States. ter
ritories and the District of Columbia
fix a date for the convention and to
act on other matters.
Chicago appears to be out of the
picture as the convention city, be-
cause other conventions have tied
up the hotel space through June
and July.
Philadelphia and San Francisco
are pressing for the convention, and
sentiment among Democratic organ
ization leaders repeatedly is for San
Francisco.
The Republicans already have
picked Philadelphia for their con-
vention next June.
