HOOSIER WILL BE FREED ST PRISON CAMP Greentown Man’s Friends Charge Sentence Was Grossly Unjust. ASSERT LAW IGNORED Arson Attempt Was Basis for Imposition of Life Term. B GREENTOWN, Ind.. April 18.— Nearly ten years of virtual slavery in Georgia prison camp will end May 6 for O. C. Fairfield, former Greentown man, though the efforts of Indiana friends, including Omer Brown, former Howard county deputy sheriff. Although a ten-year period would expire ui July, it was only with difficulty that Brown, who has just returned here from Georgia, was able to induce officials to release Fairchild a scant two months in advance. The story of Fairchild’s case reveals what friends term is an amazing miscarriage of justice. Companions Set Free While working in Georgia nearly a, decade ago, Fairchild, employed by tile A. B. and A. Railroad, became an enthusiastic member of a labor union. Shortly afterward, labor trouble arose and them an attempt to bum a bridge belonging to the railroad. Fairchild and forty other men were arrested following the arson attempt. He was the only one of those arrested not a Georgia native, and was the only one convicted None of the other forty were ever brought to trial. The Hoosier was not brought before a court until he had been in jail nearly two years. Fairchild was given a life sentence. An attorney appointed to defend him carried the case to the Georgia supreme court on an appeal but the conviction was upheld, although the court's decision was by a close vote. Jurors Favor Release F’riends were informed that even : for arson the sentence under j Georgia law was ten years, despite j the life term imposed on Fairchild. They enlisted aid of Brown, who spent more than a week in Georgia. , Interviewing officials and presenting j letters for clemency signed by Governor Harry G. Leslie and United States Senator James E. Watson He traveled more than 400 miles j over the state obtaining signatures j ■ of jurors who convicted I airchild i and finally presented these to toe j Georgia Governor and Fairchilds release arranged. Since his imprisonment. Fair- , child's father. Barney Fairchild, and mother have died here. He will not return to the scenes of his youth, but will w ork at Cordele. Ga.. Brown having obtained employment for him with E. D. Fleming, formerly of Greentown. V\ ork for Contractors Brown declares that despite a federal probe of prison camp conditions in Georgia a few years ago, prisoners are still "farmed out to contractors, who employ them principally ui road, shale pit or swamp labor. Prisoners arc kept in 'bear pens": they wear striped suits, have permanent leg irons and are given only the coarsest food. Guards armed with sawed-off shotguns keep constant watch over their charges.

ANNEXATION TO SET NEW MARK Room for 2,500 Homes at Con nersville, Bu Times Special CONNER SVILLE. Ind.. April 18. —City officials here have taken steps for the largest annexation program in Connersville’s history with authorization to draft an ordinance for taking Into the city a large area of the present limits. This action at one stroke paves the way for solution of Connersville's housing problem, which has become acute due to large forces being employed in various industrial plants, notably that of the Auburn Automobile Company. The tract to be taken into the city has room for 2,500 homes. Besidese this tract, the city council has before it annexation ordinances for Hillcrest and Hiilsdak additions. Forty residences are under construction in the former, while there are sixty-two in Hillsdale and twenty more will be built as soon as the addition becomes a par’ of the city. White Water addition is to be platted north of Hillsdale as site for 110 new homes. City officials point out that taking into the limits of large areas will tend to spread assessments for public improvem- nts. which is considered more equitable than placing the burden on a few large property owners. Furthermore, all the work can be planned at one ante, eliminating the confusion of having several projects under wav at different times. In order to speed up annexation ordinances, the council in some in- | stances is suspending rules, so that no great period of time shall elapse between various readings. CHAPLAIN WILL SPEAK The Rev.

SHOOTING QUIZ HAMPERED BY VARIED!ALES Spencer County Sheriff Believes Hi-jacking Back of Case. ONE MAN IN HOSPITAL Relatives Tell of Robbery Attempt and Rum Demand. Um Times Special ROCKPORT, Ind., April 18. Confronted with conflicting statements of witnesses, Spencer county authorities are having difficulty in ascertaining the motive for wounding of two men, one of whom, Albert Werthwein. 39, is at an Evansville hospital in a serious condition with a bullet hole in the abdomen. Another man whose name has not been learned was treated for a bullet wound by a local doctor. The patient made no statement of how he received the wound. Shot Whife Guest Werthwein was shot while visiting at the home of his brother, Robert, near here. Sheriff William Morris of Spencer county says he was first told by relatives that the men were robbers, but declares it is his belief that they were liquor hijackers. The later questioning of the family, according to Morris, brought a statement that three men came to Robert Werthwein’s home and asked for liquor. When refused by Albert, they started shooting. Previously, the sheriff says, Robert had told him the three men attempted a holdup at the home and shot his brother while he stood in a doorway. Wife Gives Version According to Albert Werthwein’s wife, the men stopped their automobile in front of Robert's home and sounded the horn. Albert went to the front door, she asserts, when one of the auto’s occupants flourished a gun, demanded her husband to hold up his hands, then all left the car and came up on the porch, and one fired a shot, which struck Werthwein. According to Mrs. Werthwein, the man compelled Robert to accompany them after the shooting, but after carrying him a short distance in the automobile, set him free. All the witness told Sheriff Morris the three men were strangers to them. He expressed a belief that all involved in the case were acquainted.

Thunderbolts Hurled at Village by Radio Station Bu United Press SCHENECTADY, N. Y., April 18.—A modern Thor stood in a steel cage at Pittsfield last night and hurled thunderbolts at a miniature village, while he casually explained it all to thousands of radio listeners who were tuned in on WGY, the General Electric station here. Lightning crackled and thunder reverberated to punctuate the talk given by F. W. Peek, noted electrical engineer, who spoke from the company’s laboratory. A “mike” was set up in the cage for the first broadcast on record of a “thunderstorm." Peek revealed that through study of the effect of the man-made bolts, wh'ch have been stepped up to as high as 10.000,000 volts, by transformers operating from a light socket, some of lightning’s most dangerous weapons have been snatched away. “We make lightning for the same reason that physicians cultivate germs in test tubes.” he said. "We keep it under control and study its habits. Thus we bring it under control.” The lightning was loosed from an “artificial cloud,” a condenser w'hich emitted electrical explosions darting at church steeples and house tops in the “village ” which covered the top of an ordinary sized table.

JACKSON OUT AS HEAD OF STATESCHOOL Ex-Governor’s Brother Will Be Succeeded by Plainfield Man. LONG TIME UNDER FIRE Accused of Letting Inmates Suffer to Save Money for General Fund. Political scalp of James Jackson, brother of former Governor Ed Jackson, has been added to the list of those taken or to be taken by Governor Harry G. Leslie. Jackson, whose ouster was predicted last week when the Governor appointed John W. Kitcli, Plymouth, to the trusteeship of the Indiana State School for Feeble Minded Youth, Ft. Wayne, in place of William Ruble, Aurora, resigned from superintendency of the school Wednesday night. His successor is C. A.

Delays Taking Office Before leaving Plainfield today, McGonagle announced that he didn’t expect to be installed in the new position before May 1.

McGonagle has been superintendent of the school since 1918 and has made a good reputation as administrator. Jackson took over the Ft. Wayne institution under his brother s administration. The place was combined with the farm colony for the feeble-minded at Butlerville. Since that time Jackson has been the butt of numerous attacks in regard to his administration.
