FRESNO YOUTH TO BE HANGED DUE TO HUNCH But Policeman Who Had Hunch Finds He Can't Be Promoted Fresno. Cal., May 3—(UP) When Allen Ellis, Fiesno minor, is hanged in San Quentin prison Friday, Ma. 17, it will be testimony to the worth of a “hunch." The hunch was that of Policeman Dana H. Tullis Ellis shot and killed Charles O. Weise it, Fiesno automobile firm accountant, when the latter scornfully refused to raise his hands at the bandit's command. William Kreiger, 19. drove the light roadster used by Ellis and Lowell Davis, 18, in the holdup job. The murder took place about 10 o'clock at night in one of the best resi-’ dential of Fresno last June 5And within two hours the city of 75,000 persons was fairly aflame with indignation. Wiesert was widely and well-known The city had suffered a recent plagiit of boyish bandits—later established as the Weisert murder trio preying upon gasoline sertice station operaiors, small store owners and occasional residential pedestrians. All of the city’s 175 policemen were turned out for the-midnight man-hunt And not a single clue was developed! Tullis Brought ’Em In Then came Dana H. Tullis, typical heavy-bodied "flatlooC’ beat man, with a hunch! "Give me a car and another man." he told Police Chief J. W. Walker, "and I'll bring those boys in." Walker did. And Tullis brought them in! The boys were still drowsy with sleep when they were hauled into' police headquarters in the early morning hours. They had but fallen asleep in their beds at Sanger. 13 miles east, when Tullis, a second Fresno oftiter and a Sanger constable roused them. Tullis had seen the youths riding aimlessly about the city's streets earlier in the evening. He had known of them as irresponsible characters. And, as he explained it, he had the hunch! A luiii.us sequel followed Tullis' feat. Officials thought to reward Tullis by a promotion to detective sergeant. Tullis failed to pass the civil service examination! He couldn't read and write well enough! One Pleaded Guilty Kreiger pleaded guilty, and received a life sentence. Ellis and Davis stood tiial. Ellis, as the “triggernian,” was sentenced to the gallows. Davis got life. Kreiger and Davis both are in San Quentin prison. Ellis' attorney, W. A. White, used every resource in attempting to free the youth from the gallows’ threat. He appealed to California Appellate and Supreme curls, and all without avail. He rested his case ou the assertion that Ellis lacked four days of being 18 years of age—the minimum age subject to captial punishment in Cali tomia at the time of the murder. All appeals failed. White since has carried his fight to Governor C. C. Young, in an effort to obtain executive clemency. No apparent softening in the gubernatorial breast has been made apparent, though, and the hanging is expected to be catried out as scheduled. White has reiieatedly asserted he could prove Ellis to be four days younger than 18 years al the time of the clime. He has shown affidavits of witnesses in Texas, where the youth was born, and of the youth’s parents, but to no avail. All California school, court ( and community records show the boy to have been but four days lacking of 19 years at the time of the Wiesert slaying. 0 COLD WAVE ADDS TO SUFFERING IN TORNADO DISTRICT (CONTINUED FROM PARK ONE) ing three others al the city jail Several nearby buildings were de molished. In Missouri. Illinois and Indiana rail'’traffic and communications were crippled.

Artist Knows Art, But Is Ignorant Os Nature Sious City, la. May 3 (UP)—The artist..-who painted the murals which adorn the rotunda of the Woodbury County courthouse may have known art but didn’t known nature farmers have discovered, eleven years after the murals were hung. The flaw in the pastoral scene, pointed out by the farmers, is in the tip of the tail of a Holstein cow. In nature the tip is white. Critics assert the artist concealed the tip behind -the head of a dog to avoid embarrassment,
