Eiggs Seeking
Congress Seat;
Petitions Filed

Petitions bearing 1900 names
were filed Saturday morning
with the County Clerk to place
Charles G. Diggs' name on the
ballot for congressman in the
first congressional district. or
the Republican ticket.
The petitions had been circu-
lated by friends who had formed
a "Diggs for Congress Com
mittee," and who reported an
overwhelming response to them.
Diggs has been convicted and
the conviction upheld by the
State Supreme Court of accept
ing bribes during the l94l legis-
lative session
He has filed a motion for a
new hearing, though. on his AS
year sentence, and declared his
intentions of running for Con-
gress whether he has to serve
the term or not.
Diggs was elected as State
Senator on the Democratic tic
ket, but is seeking this nomina-
ton on the Republican ticket
because he feels that il is right
that the Republicans should win
in this election.

to darkness. He should have welcomed it for
the work he had in hand - but somehow the
night was too dark for comfort, and he had

On the other side of the line, Anna had
already reached the appointed spot. She had
allowed plenty of time, because of the heavy
burden she had had to carry. The black case.
invisible in the darkness, had been dead
weight in her hands. A dozen times her heart
had pounded in sudden terror when bushes or
branches snagged against the thing. As she
waited for Karl, she painted slightly with the
fear of what might happen.
