Cross-Country Horsemen Stop In Decatur On Leisurely Tour

Tacoma. Wash., to New York City at the rate of about four miles per hour actual traveling time—that’s the trip and speed of a pair of unusual fellows who stopped in Decatur overnight Wednesday. Traveling on horseback, the pair left Tacoma last May 19 and have been underway since that time — although one dropped out for a while before resuming his leisurely trip across the nation. Originator of the trip is Francis Edgar McMahon Kennedy—Ned, for short—an Irishman who says “fairst” instead of first. He is the owner of the Horse-And-A-Half ranch near Tacoma. Ned’s 31 and has been married 30 years. He's making the trip to New York to rejoin his wife, who lives at their home in the Catskills. “You surely must love me,” Kennedy said his wife declared when she learned of the snail's pace manner in which he planned the reunion trip. With Ned is his ranch foreman, Cecil Carey, 32, who dropped out at Lewiston, Ida., weeks ago to go back and straighten out some ranch problems and then rejoined his boss at Chicago. Kennedy rides his big gelding and Carey a spotted horse. A pack horse trails them. Two others started out with them —one Kennedy’s nephew. They dropped out, though—the nephew after he received his terminal leave pay money from'

the army, Kennedy recalled with a smirk. The pair left Fort Wayne at 10 a.m. yesterday after trading their pack horse with a horseman in that city. They arrived in Decatur about 3 p.m.—five nours later, for an average speed of about four miles per hour. They were to leave Decatur today for St. Mary's O. and points east along federal road 33. They’ll arrive in New York about the middle of January, Kennedy figures. Upon arrival here they bedded down their animals at the community sale barn and then visited most of the evening at the Elks lodge. Kennedy said he had belonged to the order for 30 years. The reason for such a screwy thing as a trip across the nation on horseback? Well, Kennedy claims it was just the desire to do “something different.” You surely get a good cross-section view of America and the American people, he declared. “We make about 20 to 25 miles ' a day,” he said, “Unless we are someplace where the fishing’s good—then our mileage is cut way down.” They swung southward out of Chicago figuring it would be a little warmer traveling this way than along the Great Lakes wind area. “Sure and it’s a lot ’o fun, be jabers,” declared Francis Edgar McMahon Kennedy.

Link Young Killer To Another Crime Sennett Linked To Girl's Disappearance Waupun, Wis., Dec. 11 —(UP) — Authorities said today that a mounting collection of circumstantial evidence pointed toward a youthful convicted murderer as the kidnaper of Georgia Jean Weckler, 8, who disappeared from her Ft. Atkinson, Wis., home last May 1. Buford Sennett, 22,. Richland Center, Wis., one of two men who murdered a University of,Wisconsin student and raped his sister-in-law last month, was "definitely linked” to the disappearance by “evidentiary material” found at his home Tuesday, authorities said. Richland county district attorney Leo Lownik questioned Sennett at the state prison here for several hours yesterday.

take a lie detector test despite pleas of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Sennett, who accompanied Lownik to Waupun. “I’m taking no test of any kind,’’ Sennett snarled. “I got no use for cops.” Lownik said that despite Sennett’s lack of cooperation, he had at least three points linking the youthful criminal with the disap- - pearance of the Weckler girl. a At the same time, Appleton, 1- Wis., law enforcement official 1 said they had received an anonys mous letter which they thought 1 might aid in solving the mystery 1 of Georgia Jean’s disappearance, t The letter, postmarked Kaukauna, Wis., was from a young 1 woman who said she had been > picked up* while hitch-hiking last - summer by a xpan who threatened - to give her “the same thing” he ' gave another girl unless she sub- ' mitted to his advances. 1 She said she had seen pictures of Sennett and his companion in ■ the murder of Carl L. Carlson, a ■ University of W’isconsin student. • She said she recognized one of them as “the one who picked me • up.” She did not say whether it was Sennett or his companion, Robert Winslow. 25. Lownik said that one of the principal clues connecting Sennett with the kidnaping of the Weckler child was the fact that Sennett last May owned a car similar to one seen near the Weckler farm the day she disappeared. He said also that Sennett’s description tallied closely with that of the young man seen in the car by several witnesses. The third clue which indicated Sennett had something to do with Georgia Jean’s disappearance was a secret hideaway discovered under a stairway in the Sennett \ome, Lownik said. Sennett allegedly built the secret closet last May and told his mother he would t hide there “if anybody ever comes looking for me.”' Elmer Honkamp, district attorney at Appleton, said he was not putting too much credence on the anonymous letter as such, but that he was appealing to the writer to contact him.

e He said that last summer, a few I. months after the Weckler girl’s d disappearance, authorities found a parcel beside a tree in an Apple- » ton cemetery. In it, he said, was e a picture of the missing girl, a newspaper article about the case, [. a road map of Wisconsin and some j articles which had been burned. e Honkamp said he did not know what a statement in the letter about “the girl in the Apple,ton cemetery” referred to. He said no 1 trace had ever been found of the .

ter and union vice-president C. W. ; Dannenberg, said the “wage ques- . tion kept negotiators in session far into the night for the last few , days.” The union's wage demand was the top issue in its 24-point con-, tract program. Center and Dannenberg said the new contract, effective Dec. 8, 1947, will run for 18 months. It will contain an option, they said, whereby the union can re-open wage talks after eight months. The officials said there would be provisions for additional pay increases for more than 30 percent of the employes—those who work on odd-hour shifts. Differential payments of 10 cents an hour for the “second shift” and 15 cents an hour for the “third shift” were agreed on. Previous pay levels of the w’orker were classed as “security information” by the atomic energy commission and were not made public. Other contract details were not disclosed officially, but it was understood that the agreement included a strong no-work-stoppage clause and stringent security regulations regarding operations at the plant.
