'FREES PERFECT FROM PRISON WITH PAROLE Jackson Follows Advice of Trustees Who Reverse Own Ruling. Reversing the decision of the pardon board, abolished by the 1927 Legislature, and their own ruling of last month the board of trustees of the Indiana State Penitentiary recommended parole for T. Guy Perfect, Huntington business man, serving two to twenty-two years for criminal assault upon a young woman. Perfect was sentenced April 12, 1926, by former Judge W. H. Eichom, Bluffton, now a member of the State Charities Board. Governor Jackson approved the parole after a conference with trustees in his office Tuesday afternoon. It was announced that only binder twine had been discussed at the conference and decision reached not to manufacture more at the prison until surplus stocks were dis- . posed of. f Recommendation for the parole came from Eichorn, Otto H. Krieg, Knowlton H. Kelsey, special prosecutors in the case. Eichorn defended a business partner of Perfect for the same offense and secured his freedom. In his recommendation to the trustees he contended that Perfect had suffered enough for the crime, sentence for which has been reduced to from one to five years by the 1927 Legislature. Parole to Bell Boy Eichorn recently took a prominent part in the charities board investigation of the D. C. Stephenson charges of ill-treatment and plotting against him at the prison. Eichorn and the other board members gave the warden and trustees a clean bill of health. Among other paroles granted by the Governor upon trustees’ recommendation was Cleve Moore, sentenced Jan. 5, 1927, in Gibson

County, to from one to five years, for violation of the liquor laws. Moore was chief bell boy at the McCurdy Hotel, Evansville, Ind., operated by Lieutenant Governor Harold F. Van Orman, who made a stiff fight to prevent his incarceration. Parole was granted to five others, including Charles Pittser, sentenced in Delaware County, April 12, 1902, to life ter mfor murder. Clemency was denied thirty-two prisoners, including Dr. Nelson B. Ross, serving life sentence for murder in Delaware County since 1909. While on temporary parole a few months ago Ross attempted to escape and was arrested at New Orleans, La. Paroles were approved for the N following: George Argton, Vigo County, Oct. 1, 1924, five to twenty-one years for assault and battery, with intent to rape. Albert lonna, Putnam, Oct. 31, 1925, two to five for escaping farm. Free for 90 Days Elijah Mulkey, Delaware, Nov. 29, 1926, one to three for wife desertion. Sherwood Parrish, Vanderburg, March 8, 1922, ten to twenty, first degree burglary. This is subject to approval of the reformatory superintendent, where prisoner was transferred. Additional ninety days’ parole was granted Howard Gregory, Knox, Oct. 31, 1925, ten to twenty-five for auto banditry. Charles Van Blaircon, Hancock, Dec. 28, 1904, murder, second degree, was given final discharge. He was paroled by Governor Marshall April 12, 1911.

Family Broken Up at Orphans’ Home 32 Years Ago Is Reunited. By ELIIORA FIELD When Walter Atwell Miller, 1206 Olive St., received a letter some months ago and amazedly perused it, his eyes fell on the words, “Your brother.” Monday, he and Charles Lewis of Kansas City, Mo., clasped hands and for the first time as grown up men, looked into each others’ faces. It had been almost thirty-two, years ago that two little boys, stood with tear-stained faces in an anteroom of an orphans’ home in Washington Court House, Ohio. They had been left there by their griefstricken mother. Their father was dying of cancer. Mother Lost Them When the mother, long after, found opportunity to return, her boys were gone. Their addresses were not given her. One of them, adopted by a German family who had been living in Ohio, was taken back to the fatherland when the family returned to that country.

VANZETTI CASE VERDICT NEAR Fuller to Make Decision Public Tonight. Bu United Press BOSTON, Aug. 3.—Tonight the world will learn whether Nicola Sacco, the shoemaker, and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, the fish peddler, must die for a seven-year-old crime, which, they claim, they did not commit.

Sacco and Vanzetti, the former new on the eighteenth day Os a hunger strike, will go to the electric chair Aug. 10 unless the gubernatorial verdict is in their favor.

Sacco and Vanzetti were in the death house of Charlestown State prison this morning, half a dozen paces from the electric chair.

Mad Bull Tears Trail of Ruin Across County Bu United Press SALIDA, Colo., Aug. 3.—Chaffe County’s mad bull, after visiting various parts of the county and leaving devastation and threatened lawsuits in his wake, today was taking on all the aspects of a major catastrophe. County officers, county commissioners and the district attorney, meeting in special session to consider the bull, decided to adopt a “watchful waiting” policy, the only kind of a policy they could adopt. The animal appeared last week and immediately started a series of rampages. He tore down fences, trampled fields and gardens, and generally disturbed the calm of Chaffee County. But all that wasn’t so serious. It was not until Mrs. Lewis Menz, Kansas City, appeared yesterday before the commissioners and demanded compensation for damages inflicted on her automobile by the bull, that the officials met to consider ways and means of disposing of the animal.

Halitosis easy to prevent

Nothing retards you in business, courtship and society like a real case of halitosis (unpleasant breath). It is a continual offense—and needless, too. Since you, yourself, can never tell when you have halitosis, the

only way to be sure of not offending is to rinse the mouth with Listerine every day especially before any close personal contact.

Search Whole Country in Effort to Beat Record of Danville Man. Bn United Press CARDIFF, England, Aug. 3.—The little country of Wales is waxing highly indignant and all over an ordinary American patrolman. It happened this way. Up to quite recently, Wales held the record for the longest, jaw-cracking, tongue-twisting names in existence, but imagine the dismay of the Welshmen when they heard that in Danville, 111., there was a policeman with the name: Ducorapanagiotokiriakoploliffitgpolos. Thirty-seven letters and all in one name! Phew! said the Welshmen and set forth to go one better. On a tombstone in a little village cemetery they found one with thir-ty-eight letters, but. alas, there was a hyphen in the middle, so it could not fairly be recognized. A rumor then got around that a certain Welsh miner was well in the running for the longest name on record and off dashed the Investigating committee to his house. There, round two sides of the house they saw his name chalked up thus: Lleweliynchyddollandychndwllcyffaidd. But, there were only thirty-six letters. The committee is still searching.
