Fugitives


DEFIANCE, O., Jan. Il (INS)
Three chain-bound fugitives from
the Raleigh State prison 7 being
returned to North Carolina today
following their recapture in a SEN
sational three hour manhunt in De-
fiance County
The trio escaped Friday from
two special officers who wer re-
turning them to the prison after a
roundup in California, Arizona and
Oregon. They had fled from the
Raleigh prison some time ago.
One ofthe three leaped from the
train as it slowed for Hicksville
station near Defiance. The others
broke loose from the Hicksville
Jail where they had been lodged
while t~heofficers chased their COM
panion.
A telephone-alarm system was
set up Immediately and farmers
in the area traced the flight Of
the trio for the quickly-organized
posse of volunteers. They were re-
captured walking along a road six
miles northeast of Hicksville.
The fugitives had no outer
clothing to protect them from the
snow and freezing temperatures.
James F. Rogers, who was serv-
ing 1920 years for a crime
against nature, started the escape
by leaping from the train. His com
panions were Jesse Sneed, a Ne
gro serving 14-15 years for attack
ing a white woman, and Joseph
Kelly, who was doing three to five
years for house breaking and lar
ceny.
Special officers, who rounded
them up during the past twoweeks,
are P. T. Curren and E. J. Har-
rington of Raleigh.

NEW YORK, Jan. IA (INS)-
His excellency, the French ambas-
sador tothe United States, M. Hen
ri Bonnet, looks as if he has seen
everything once and would not be
be particularly surprised to e a
repeat performance at any time.
Indeed, M. Bonnet looks more
than somewhat like Adolph Menjou
playing aF'rench ambassador which
is par for the course.No one would
ever mistake the French ambassa-
dor for the butcher, the baker, the
candlestick-maker. He is a supurb
bit of type-casting except for one
item: He smokes a pipe.
Cigarettes and cigars are theto-
bacco of diplomacy, not the corn
cob. And | hasten to add that M.
Bonnet's pipe is not really a corn
cob. He was smoking a briar with
a small bowl the other day when
he turned up in New York to adj
dress a group of newsmen and an
swer their questions.
A few days previously, Mr.. Tru-
man and Mr.. Churchill had ex-
pressed staunch hopes for peace in
1862. Now seemed the time to ask
the representative of the other
member ofthe big three if he were
optimistic or hopeful for peace in
the current year.
"There is cause to be hopeful"

WHTH THE EDITOR

I'm glad they at least admitted
that l was sober!
Here, in part, is what the Middle
town Valley Register had to say
about an accident I was involved in
at the plant last week, when my car
drifted away from the curb:
'"The driver was perfectly sober,
but whether you could say the same
thing for the car is somewhat doubt
full.
II S. Douglas, whose paper, The
Globe-Independent, is printed at our
plant, parked his Dodge in front of
the printing plant, on West Main
street, Middletown, on Tuesday
morning. When he looked for the
car a short time later, it had disap-
peared.
ut didn't take long to find out
what had happened to the vehicle.
1t had drifted from its parking place
along the north side of the Main
street hill, meandered down the
street, gingerly passed between a
parked car and a tree in the vicinity
of the Wesleyan Apartments, bounc-
ed onto the sidewalk there, and then
sliced across to the south side of the
street, where it crashed through the
fence at the property of Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Haupt."
