Sergeant C. C. Towne, who made the arrest said "the great one” was on a door bell ringing expedition and rang the bell at the side door of the Hollywood police sta-j tion. Town - said he tried to persuade! Shires to return to his taxicab, but 1 that he wouldn't go so he had to lock him up “to get rid of him.” Inasmuch as Shires announced after his recent marriage that he had “given up fighting”, Towne said he was unable to account for the pres, nee of the brass knuckles in the ball player's pocket. o KIN HUBBARD FUNERAL HELI) THIS AFTERNOON (CONTINUED FHOM PAGEJJNB' Active pallbearers are Frank McCracken.

From time to time the warfare flared anew. No one knows how many victims it claimed. It is generally believed in the hills that more than five Spurlocks and an equal number of Gibsons were killed, most of them from ambush. About twelve years ago members of one family moved here from Tennessee. Members of the other followed soon. Two weeks ago Patton Gibson, leader of ills clan, was killed. Rumors were that his slaying followed his boast that he had just come back from Tennessee and had "killed sonto more Spurlocks.” John and Cleas Spurlock were charged with the murder of Patton Gibson and were placed in the county jail. Early vesterday four of the Gibson brothers, Otis. Gilfred. Dan md Alonzo, renewed the feud in a manner that struck terror into the community and caused an uprising of outraged citizens determined Hint the laws of the hills should not supplant the laws of the common wealth in Salem. Without warning, the brothers Stormed the jail. Otis remained nutside. The other three entered. A battle ensued. Sheriff Trinkle was shot in the leg. His wife, Ida, a deputy, was shot in the thigh. The trio fled as Otis engaged outside in a battle with Town Marshal Elmer Gerald, who was attracted by the shooting. Olis shot first and Gerald tell, a bullet through his' abdomen, but as h< fi-11 the marshal fired and Otis dropped dead. He was shot (lirough the heart. Gerald's condition was critical. The entire town was thrown In--1.0 an uproar as the three remaining Gibsons fled into the country. Ranking law enforcement officials summoned volunteers. American Legion men and others joined theii f oru . s immediately. A cordon of sharpshooters was thrown about the jail. It was feared the Gib-

sons might summon other mem- i bers of their family anil make a more determined effort U> raid the jail. The Spurlocks were hurried to Jeffersonville and placed in the jail there. One of the first posses organized marched to the farm of Gifford Gibson. Gifford was there, armed. He was ordered to surrender. The feudist walked from his . house, his hands In the air. "I'll come peaceful," he said, “so long as you ain't got no Spurlocks with you.” He was brought to the jail from which the Spar- . locks had just been removed. ) Sheriff Trinkle today directed Irom his hospital cot the search I tor the two fugitive Gibsons and j ordered extraordinary precautions taken to protect the one Gibson and the two Spurlocks who were ( in jail. In the field, the forces were led by George Moore, a formI er sheriff. A fifth member of the Gibson ( family, William, was captured t Sunday, but was released when it was proved he hail not taken part in the raid on the jail., t o—.. 0 —.. , DISCOVERY MAY CREATE LIFE (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ■ light upon the study of that disf ease. ’ These facts were revealed today j when Dr. Crile for the first time - discussed the work which lias been going on in his laboratory and made known details of the ex- . periinent, news of which leaked out a few weeks ago and was published throughout the country as "Tlie Artificial Creation of Life.” “For the present,” said Dr. Crile, "let us regard the cell as somewhere in the vague ground between the lifeless and the living.” Two of Dr. Crile's assistants repeated the experiment for the writer, enabling him to see under the microscope tlie way in which the “autosynthetic cells,” as Dr. Crile calls them, are formed. A gia-s slide with a little depression ground into its center was placed under the microscope, hi the depression was placed a drop of solution containing various ■salts. To this was added a lipoid, a fat, which had been extracted from brain tissue of a freshlyslaughtered animal. At once, a reaction between the two took place, resulting in the formation of tiny fibres. The artificial or “autosynthetic” cell is completed by adding protein from brain tissue. When this is added, structures like tiny cells of living creatures, only simpler and more regular in form, come into existence. Dr. Crile calls them "autosynthetic” because they put themselves together .automatically as the various ingredients are mixed. "I do not want to say at this time what the autosynthetic cells are,” Dr. Crile said. “Our experiments are not finished. If news had not leaked out prematurely, 1 would not have discussed this mat- , ter for months yet.” • Dr. Crile revealed that the experiments leading to the creation 1 of these cells were undertaken as part of a research seeking light upon the subject of cancer. The human body, like all other s living organisms, consists of a ' great collection of microscopic 5 cells, each of which is highly complex and each of which has riwny functions to perform. Tlie cancer cell is barbaric and j f primitive. Its only function is growth at the expense of tlie other ' cells, eventually killing them off. ' “Tiie autosynthetic cell resem- ! hies the cancer cell in many ' ways,” Dr. Crile said. "It, too, is ' a primitive cell whose only func- ! tion is growth.” I Dr. Crile expressed the belief 1 that perhaps the formation of the ! autosynthetic cell could be explained upon the assumption that ! living tissue contained many com--1 plex molecules. ■ These molecules continued to exist in the proteins and lipoids - extracted from animal brain tissue, i “A salt solution is an electroi lyte,” he continued. "Ils mole-i j rules break up into electrified par- - tides known as ions. Hence | ■ there are electrical fields in the j I solution. "The complex molecules of the proteins and lipoids are able by i tlie electrical energy of tlie salt I solution to rearrange themselves . into cell structures. But apparent- > ly these are primitive simple , structures lacking the fine detail . which long heredity gives to nor- - mal living cells.” Dr. Crile indicated that the 3 Cleveland clinic would continue, its experiments upon the artificial cells. Associated with Dr. Crile t in tlie work are Dr. Marie Telkes I and Amy F. Rowland, M. A. , o Bank Robbed of $2,000 Camden. 111., Dec 29 — ( UP) .

STEEL MERGER HELD INVALID IN COURT TODAY (CONTINUED FROM PAOhl ONE) would be carried to the U, S. Supreme court If neewsary. The court's decision was wholly unexpected. There was no fanfare or preliminaries. Judge Jenkimi walked into the court room at 8:25 am. He had prepared but three copies of his decision —a decision that holds in abeyance a consolidation that would have created a steel giant second only to the U. S. Steel Corporation. o Appropriation Approved Washington. Dec. 29.—<U.R>—Appropriation of $45,000,000 for drought relief was approved by a house appropriations subcommittee today after it received from Secretary of Agriculture Hyde a recommendation for the entire amount authorized by congress in the measure passed before Christmas. Chairman Wood of the appropriations committee said tlie full committee would r port a $45,000,000 appropriation bill to the house next Monday, with exception ot house passage on that day. o — 12 CONVICTS MAKE ATTEMPT; ARE CAPTURED (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) over Hie cater wall to complete their escape. Th? other 11 men were: Harry Pierpont, Kokomo, serving 10 to 21 years for bank robbery; Albert Rosenbt rg, St. Joseph county, 25 years for robbery; Janies Jenkins, Greene county, life for murder; Dick Day, Terre Haute, 10 to 21 years for bank robbery; Edward Ware, Vigo county, 25 years for auto banditry; Maurice Delator?, Marion county, life as h.ibitual criminal; Frank Badgley, Miami county, life as habitual criminal; Louis West. Marion county, 10 to 21 years for bank robbery; Wayne Williams, Allen county, life for murder; Willard Tex, St. Joseph county. 10 to 21 years for robbery; Russell Clark. Marion county, 20 years for bank robbery. All had made individual attempts to escape during the past year, and would have been in solitary confinement, but conditions were too crowded, and they were segregated in D cell house. After the attempted break the prisoners were thrown into solitary confinement, where tlic-y were ' pack'd in lik ■ sardines,” as Daly described it. Conditions in the prison appeared normal an hour after the break, but extra precautions were taken to prevent spread of the disturbance. Michigan City, Ind., D c. 29.—(U.R) —Tlie courage of a single guard put down a rebellion in the Indiana state penitentiary today and prevented the 12 most desperate convicts in the prison from completing a sch ni ■ to escape. Th,? guard, Guy Burklow, barring the nien's path to the door of tlie cell block, beyond which lay freedom, kept the convicts from advancing by drawing his revolver.
