Two Men Held After 3O-Mile
Chase On Florida Keys; One
Says He Escaped Kentucky Jail

Two men, one Self-confesSed
escaped convict from Kentucky
were arrested in car stolen in
Georgia after a 30-mile chase al
Snake Creek by highway patrol
men yesterday.
They identified themselves as
Robert Thompson, 81, driver OF
the car, who said he had escaped
from the Kentucky State Pris-
on, recently, and w. r. Whitaker
80, of Homestead.
Shortly after Highway Patrol
man Warren Bateman received
a radio from Georgia that a new
1916 car had been stolen at Val
dosta, Ga, he perceived an auto
mobile on the highway which
answered the description.
Bateman gave chase to the car,
but lost it in the Poinciana Sec
ton. Later he returned up the
keys. While he was standing al
Marathon the car came through
at a high rate of speed. Bateman
notified Sheriff's Deputy D. M
Andrews and Highway Patrol
man Charles Reynolds.
Andrews saw the car racing
along the highway, but had no
chance to throw up a barricade.
Reynolds later sighted the speed
ing machine and gave chase.
Bateman came from the other di-
rection.
Near Snake Creek, the car
caught between the two patrol
men, left the highway and
swung around on the old road.
The car stopped and Thomp-
son ran into a swamp and took
refuge in a tree. Whitaker was
caught by Bateman as he was
getting out of the car.
Then Bateman and Reynolds
went into the swamp after
Thompson. He finally left the
tree and was taken into custody
without a struggle.
Thompson. held in county Jail,
told Chief Deputy Sheriff Nor
emo Wallace that he had served
a~term of Is years in Kentucky
prison for armed robbery and
was sentenced to serve five adj
ditional years for stealing cars.
He told how he used a wire to
bypass a locked car and get it
started. That is how he stole the
car IN Georgia. He said Whitaker
had hitch-hiked a ride from him
in South Miami and said that he
did not know the car had been
stolen.
Thompson will be held for the
Georgia police. He violated the
Dyer federal act by driving a
stolen car from Georgia into
Florida, and it is possible that
the FBI will investigate.
Whitaker is held on tentative
charge of aiding and abetting a
felony.

/ is dead!'
There was a thrill in her voice,
passion in it; for an instant she
lost her marvellous self control
and her face quivered in a new,
, unguarded loveliness. O'Hara, in
defatigable tracker of the bar
rens, man called efficient, deadly
and soulless, experienced the
surge of a curiously foreign i'm
pulse to spare her, to shield her
: even from herself! But the merci-
less instinct of his kind made him
thrust his hand into his pocket
and draw out blood stained pa
per.
"There's his last letter to Ninon
Creuse, the girl who lost her life
because of coming through this
frozen wilderness to nurse him in
his fever"
Laure Gharian turned deathly
pale. She scarcely seemed to
breathe, and her profile was like
white cameo against the flame
light on the hearth. For the brief
est moment she faltered and
Shrank away from the blood
stained letter. Then she seemed to
nerve herself for the ordeal, put
out an unsteady hand, took the
paper and, moving to the fire,
averted her face from O'Hara
while she read it.
O'Hara could see only the per-
feet arch of her brow and hair,
its rich tints, and the supple
grace of her slender figure-the
figure of a girl rather than a
woman. But he could see that
her emotion was shaking her now
from head to foot. Involuntarily
he turned away and glanced about
the room that he had never seen
before.
1t was a bare place, devoid of
any Womanly touch except the
curtain across the window. An
old violin lay on bench in the
corner, and the sergeant suddenly
remembered that he had once
heard the dead man play wonder
fully we'll, with touch that only
love of music gives. There were
a few worn books, we'll thumbed,
on the shelf, and a WOman's coat
and furs lay on the heavy chair
that helped barricade the door
into the only other room, the bed
room Of the cabin. 1t was closed,
and against it were piled all the
miscellaneous articles in place.
The door opened toward them and
was boItcd, the fastening boin2

ricade.
O'Hara stared at it in amaze
ment. That a woman might shrink
from the cabin where her muir
dered husband had spent his
hours was not unnatural, but that
she should come there alone, in
this terrible weather, face the
hardships and the horror of it, to
barricade one room against her
self, was a new and strange de-
velopment. He still was staring
at it when he heard her voice
again, tremulous and sweet.
'This letter is a little pitiful-
but it's not like him."
'You claim then, that your hus-
band never wrote it,"
She turned and faced him, her
eyes dark with feeling. "He wrote
it, but he never meant it! He
ah, how he could write, m'sieur!
But this girl"
AS she spoke she turned to
fling the letter into the fire but
O'Hara caught her hand and re-
covered it. Brought into contact
thus, her face flashing with sud-
den anger against the man who
had Wronged her, and her warm
wrist quivering in the sergeant's
grip, he all but lost his head
Words rushed to his lips, foolish
words of sympathy, which would
have left him disarmed against
this woman. Then he snatched
the paper from her and retreated
across the room, furious. Was he
The Skyland post., 1947-01-02
going to let this Circe be his

going to let this Circe be his
ruin?
He turned on her cruelty.
"You've no need to blame the
girl, the fault was Gharian's. He'd
made love to her; he admits it. :"
She faced him defiantly, her
face still flushed and that won
derful light in her eyes. ooh, the
fault never is altogether the
mans m'sieur! You see, even
in the grip Of fever, he remem-
bered how he had treated his
wife"
"The cry of a guilty conscience,
madame" O'Hara flashed back at
her. He had pursued this girl
so openly that her brother shot
him. She was a trained nurse,
doing her best to help the sick,
and didn't know he was married
until she heard it from him. He
never spoke or a VIE!
She faced him, proudly still,
but the color ran out of her face
again and left it white. "He for
got me, m'sieur; that was easy!
But" she turned with that
poignant gesture and pointed
ain toward the window
''There's a little black cross out
there alone and desolate. How
could he forget that? Oh, mon
Dieu, that l can't forgive" Her
voice broke. She hid her face
in her hands.
O'Hara felt again that inexplic-
able dangerous rush of sympathy,

OHara nodded. He felt a

She started at that, but met

"You were aware your husband
loved the nurse, and yet you came
"a long way just to attend his
funeral, Mrs. Gharian?" His tone
was grave now, though it held
an edge of disbelief.
She raised her head proudly,
'You're wrong, Msieur Police. l

grave" AS she spoke she lifted
one hand with poignant gesture
toward the window. Even in the
whirl of snow it seemed to OHara
that he saw that little black cross
which he knew was there. But
the woman's eyes were clear now
as she added, coldly, "Of my hus-

SUIT OR SUITE?

The word suit is another SPELL
ing of the French word 'suite" 'pro-
nounced: sweet. and both words
are present in modern English with
more or less identical meanings For
example, Merriam Webster's gives
as one definition of suit: "A series
or group of things forming unit or
constituting collection; set y
And one of the definitions of suite
is: "A number of things constitut.
ing a set, series collection or
the like"
In this sense. then, suit and suite
are as nearly synonymous as two
words can be. But, oddly enough.
the words are not interchangeable
For example. suit is always used
of clothes, armor, cards; suite is
always used of rooms. music, reti-
nueS.
Now that brings us to the gist Of
the problem: How should one speak
of a - of furniture?
The correct answer reveals one Of
the strangest contradictions in our
language:
Arizona sun., 1947-03-07
TAKE MY WORD FOR TT!
BY FRANK COLBY
Bell Syndcate.-WNU Features

Cd In dictionary consensus the
)rrect form is: a suit of furniture,
pronounced: sweet.
~ All furniture manufacturers.
wholesalers, retailers, and all inte-
rior decorators write "a suite of
furniture" but they invariably say
"a suit of furniture: bedroom suit,
living room suit" etc.!
For example, furniture dealer
or a decorator will say in CONVEX
sation: This bedroom suit and this
living room suit are for a suite
tsweet of rooms at the Blank no.
tel" But this is how it would be
written in a letter or in an advertise
ment: This bedroom suite and this
living room suite are for suite
of rooms :"
| have very simple and sensible
suggestion as to how this confusion
may be done away with. This is
my recommendation to the furniture
industry and to all decorators: Since
you always speak of "suit'' of fur
niture. simply drop the re" from
suite" in writing, thus making the
spelling "suit" correspond to your
pronunciation suit"
It makes sense to me.
