London Police
Recapture Man
In Local Home

For the second time in less than
a week the London Post of the
State Highway Patrol called out
London City Police, the Madison
County Sheriff's Department and
the West Jefferson Police Depart
ment to aid in the search for an
escapee from Highway Patrol Gus
tody.
The second escapee, who had
been arrested for speeding and no
operators license, had preceded the
Patrol Car to the London corpora
ton limits when the patrolman
went around the motorcycle which
the subject was riding, to lead the
way to the city building where the
case was to be heard.
According to reports, when the
patrol car went around the motor
cycle, the rider followed to New
Hampshire Avenue and turned off.
Before the patrol car could turn
and recapture the driver, he had
abandoned the motorcycle and dis
appeared in the neighborhood east
of Elm Street. At that time the
other officers were called in to as
sist in the search. They still had
not found the man at daylight the
following morning.
Later in the day Mrs. Charles
Richmond returned to her home
and upon entering, found a man
sleeping on the sofa She quitely
left the house and called London
City Police who went to the scene
and made the arrest, turning the
man back to the highway patrol
for the second time The Patrol
men then took the man to Madison
County Jail for confinement. Later
reports said the motorcycle was
stolen from Cleveland.
According to Patrol records, the
man identified as DOYLE Wayne
Manning, between 1920 years of
age, is an escapee from Indiana
State Prison Farm where he was
serving a term for second degree
burglary. He is still being held in
custody of Sheriff Herbert c.
Markley, pending extradition by
Indiana officials. Manning has al
ready expressed his willingness to
sign a waiver of extradition, ac-
cording to Markley
London City Police who made
the arrest, reported that Manning
had forced door to gain entrance
to the Richmond residence and had
made himself a meal before going
to sleep. He was not recaptured
until about twelve hours after his
original arrest by highway patrol-
men.
In the first escape from highway
patrolmen during the week, pris-
oner who had been arrested with
out proper Identification, and with
a stolen car, left the Patrol Head
quarters here, and was finally re-
captured after an early morning
chase by all area officers. Sher-
iff and City officers captured him
along the railroad tracks.

she has also carried through in
several strictly girl projects.
1t was the overall record of her
club-records standing which placed
her in the top bracket for selection
to the national conference. The se-
lection was strictly competitive,
based entirely on the past records
as a club member, and on the con-
tinuing efforts shown in the work.

will be in the delegation will be
from the Lima area. There will al
so be two boys representing the

DREAM
Told me on the corner the
other day was this seems
a fellow dreamed that he was
standing in an orchard where
there were five apple trees
and each tree had five apples
on it. Soon five boys came in
to the orchard and devoured
the apples. Next day the
dreamer was spending a day
at the races so he bet five dol
lars on the number five horse
in the fifth race. The horse
came in fifth.
OUGHT
They tell us that a baby
can't talk but we remind you
that Job cursed the day he
was born!
LIFE
Those who think that the
world owes them a living are
absolutely right--and it will
keep on owing them all the
rest of their lives.
sUpN THoTs
If horses had more sense
there'd be a lot more horses
and fewer jackasses! And
splitting the atom is simply
case of mind over matter!
PROMPT
We know a guy who has
never missed an alimony pay
ment ever since his ex-wife
threatened to repossess him!
SUFFERING
A person who suffers in 81
lence" always makes sure that
everyone knows about it first.
FACT
A successful salesman is
Just a fellow who wears out
his shoes instead of his pants.
It is the same fellow who must
continuously make more mon
ey so that he can meet the OBJ
legations he wouldn't have had
il he weren't so successful.
????
Fellow who was eight feet
nine-and-a-half inches tall ap-
piled for a job as lifeguard.
"Can you swim?" asked the
superintendent. "Naw," was
the reply, "but I'm helluva
wader!"
LIAR
Friend of ours told us that
he knows a woman who is the
worlds champ when it comes
to stretching the truth. He
says this gal writes her diary
a week in advance!
UNHAPPY
And then there's the one
about the sad little skunk :. +.
seems his father died and cut
him off without scent.
WELL?
A lot of people gripe because
they can't have what they
want. Just think of how they'd
feel if they got what they de-
served.
oLDiE
An oldie brought to light is
this concerning a likker-lover
whose brother drove him over
to Peoria, Illinois. They arriv-
ed about nine o'clock in the
evening and the lights in the
big distilleries were all ablaZe.
The brother said, "You see,

ands of barrels of booze each
day, you can not possibly
drink it all up! Booze hound
thought this over quick min
ute and replied, "Mebbe so but
l got 'em working nights"
LIVING
Biology has been defined as
"the metabolic activity of pro-
toplasm." But to a lot of peo-
pie after big Saturday night
1t seems a great deal worse
than that.
ARMY
The difference betw cen
Army life and civilian life is
that when you're sick, you can
have the doctor come to see
you.
WISH
We wish that we could buy
something popular at popular
prices. In this same vein, we
wish unpopularity would be-
come unpopular.
OOPS!
Down in Texas a dry-hole is
known as a ne'er-do-well.

A girl with horse sense is
one who keeps on saying
neigh" until she gets the barn

her oats.
