HIRED KILLER WINS CASE,
LOSES HIS FREEDOM

Blantyre, Nyasaland (ANP) -
One of the most extraordinary
court cases on record has Just
taken place in Nyasaland where a
man suing another for non-pay-
ment of a murder fee has won his
case.
A man named Ellard claimed
that he had been hired by another
man named Odrick to murder a
girl. The fee was 400 pounds
(about 10 dollars). To do the job
he wore a crocodile hide and lay
in wait for the girl in a local
river. When the girl came to draw
water, he swan to her, pulled her
in and murdered her.
Ellard told the court that Cd
rick had paid him only half of the
agreed fee and now - after three
years - he was suing for the
other half.
The court ordered Odrick to pay
up. And Immediately after the
case, both men were arrested by
the police to be charged with the
murder of the girl.

Costs Mother Of
Five Jail Term

washington CAMP - A 20
year old mother of five children
who has been living with a man
married to another woman was
sentenced last week to a years
probation for having an able bod
led man in her home while receiv-
ing $2,311 in welfare assistance.
Mrs. Emma Lee Pettaway be-
came the first welfare recipient
prosecuted by the United States
as the result Of the investigation
into welfare practices here begun
late last year by Sen. Robert c.

up to a year in Jail and a $500
fine or both.

partment officials that no wage
earning male lived in her home
and that she had no source of in

Bloody Business In
Wiehifd, TeNus Bank

Wichita Falls, Tex. (ANP) -
While you can't get blood out of
a turnip, as the saying goes, it is
available at donor stations. Terry
Turner, a telephone company en-
ploye, can verify this.
Turner was installing an extern
sion phone in the offices of the
Red Cross blood bank recently
when a nurse ordered him to re-
move his coat. He obliged, and
even followed instructions to roll
up his sleeve and lie down on a
bed. A few seconds later, Turner
was short one pint of blood.
The director Of the blood bank,
George Clevenger, later remarked:
well, we really were short Of
blood"

Honey Tune Upsets 'Beez-

did not happen in 'May-hee-ko,'
but the "beez-ness," she was all
shook up anyhow and as
Pedro might add: II think"
Fact of the matter is the bees as
well as the audience got a little
carried away" by the music at a
recent outdoor jazz music show in
Ritter Park here.
AS the Del Felice trio, Of Gin
cinnati, belted out its rendition of
"a Touch of Honey" a swarm OF
bees emerged from somewhere,
chasing about 100 Of the more
than 1000 patrons from their
seats.
Perhaps "eet" was not so
happy at the END for some pat
rons.

Just Horsing Around

Miami, Fla. CAMP - Some
people push a bottom, others do it
manually. But Clayton A. Walter
has discovered another way Of get
ting the top down on his CONVEX
tible. A horse did it for him.
Police said Walter, an insurance
collector, was parked in front Of
William T. Rosewells home on
business when Rosewelrs horse
sauntered past.
The horse punched its nose
through the soft top, liked the
taste and ripped of the canvas
strip by strip. Livestock experts
theorized the top had been treated
with a dressing that tasted like
salt or sugar-or maybe hay.

BY SAMUEL P. PERRY, JR.

Boston CAMP - Edward w.
Brooke, attorney who made Amer
lean political history by garner
ing over one million votes in 1860
when he unsuccessfully sought the
office Of Massachusetts, secretary
Of state on the Republican ticket,
secured a plurality Of $4,000 votes
as the successful COP nominee for
the office of attorney general,
after a hard campaign, in the
primaries last week.
Attorney Brooke was hampered
considerably by the decision Of the
State Republican Finance Com
mittee not to support either At
torney Elliott Richardson or
Brooke in the primaries. He had to
depend heavily upon funds from
volunteers and young rebels
against the arbitrariness Of the
COP brass, although Attorney
Brooke had the COP conventions
official nod.
An examination Of the contribu-
tors lists of both Richardson and
Brooke reveals that Richardson's
supporters were wealthy members
Of the old-lne financial families Of
Boston's State street district.
However, Brooke's personality
and his record as chairman Of the
influential Boston Finance Com
mission swayed voters in the up
state Massachusetts, areas where
Richardson's supporters thought
their man would be stronger.
AS was predicted, Brooke took
Boston by a plurality Of over 5000
votes. He swamped Richardson in
every ward Of the Hub with the
exception Of three.
In what has been termed a re-
cord turnout of the Republican
vote on a statewide basis for a
primary, Brooke received a total
Of 237,910 votes to Richardson
1882, giving Brooke a plurality
of 42,078.
However, Brooke, a rare poii-
cal realist, Is fully aware that he
must muster dissident Democratic
support, as well as that of the in
dependent voters, If he is to win
the election in November. He faces
q formidable political foe for the
office of encouragement in the
person Of former 1t. Governor
Francis e. Kelly, who gained the
Democratic nomination as a rebel
against the Democratic conven-
ton.
In a seldom seen display Of uni
ty, Negro Democrats urged their
supporters to back Brooke in the
primary. 1t remains to be seen
whether their active support will
be as strong when the Kennedy
Lodge forces come to grips in No
vember.
In contests for the COP and
Democratic nomination for the
Mass. House Of Representatives,
eight Negroes, including a woman,
secured COP and Democratic nom
