FOUR MANIACS STAGE BREAK; ONE IS KILLED Madmen Attempt to Flee Asylum: Flourish Gun Loaded With Blanks. By f 'nilrrt Prrgg MATTEWAN, N. Y„ Sept. 6 Four criminal madmen, who "wanted to go home." attempted to shoot their way out of the Mattewan hospital for the insane today with a 32-caliber pistol, loaded with blank cartridges. One was killed, another was wounded, and the others were subdued after a tear gas bombardment that lasted four hours. The entire institution was in shrinking uproar during thfe dark hours of early morning, while the four maniacs, barricaded in a small room, stood off a heavy force of police and state troopers. At daybreak, in reply to a final demand for surrender. Ray Fisher, committed from Buffalo in 1932, opened the door and advanced with what appeared to be a revolver in his hand A guard shot him, killing him instantly. The bullet, passing through Fisher, lodged in the leg of Shelly Marshall of New York, one of the desperado group. The other two, Reinhart Volz of New York and James Ellis of Brooklyn, meekly surrendered and the riot was quelled. The dormitory, in which sixty-five inmates were sleeping peacefully at 1:15 a. m.. under the eye of guard Michael Centofant, was aroused when Volz leaped from his bed and shouted, “I’ve been here long enough. I want to go home." A number of the other insane tumbled from their beds. Volz picked up a wooden chair and tried to crash it down on Centofant's head. Fisher, Marshall and Ellis joined him, and were beating the guard when a second guard, Thomas Diamond, appeared. Joseph Brown, a third guard, joined the defense forces. The four madmen then forced their way into the corridor, ran to the recreation hall, one floor below, then into a smaller room and barricaded themselves. Dr. Raymond Kicd. superintendent, telephoned for state troopers and the police of Beacon, the nearest town. They decided to smoke out the maniacs with bomhs. When the tear gas began to take effect, the maniacs fled to another room, and the process was repeated until they made their fatal sortie. PIQUA. 0..

‘Political,’ Is Brand Put On McNutt Commission

Utility Board Setup Flayed in Magazine Article by Ex-Professor. Charge that “political preference” rather than qualifications dictated appointments to the Indiana public service commission, is made in the current issue of the Public Utilities Fortnightly. The magazine contains the official reports of activities of commissions throughout the country. Criticism of the present Indiana setup is contained in an article written by Hubert R. Gallagher, former assistant professor of political science at Stanford university, and now research consultant for the American Legislators Association, Chicago. In a survey of recent commission changes, he says. Number Is Reduced “A public utility measure that received the full approval of Governor Paul McNutt of Indiana was the recently enacted Chapter 93 of the public service commission acts of 1933. “Chapter 93 does away with the five-member commission and creates in its stead a three-member commission. “The members of this commission will serve four years rather than six, and will receive a yearly compensation of $6,000. “Indiana, at the same time, joins the ranks of those states which have a public counselor. Under the terms of the act the public counselor will be appointed by the Governor and hold office at his pleasure. Heed Political Cry “This measure was favored by the Indiana League of Municipalities and others who desired anew deal in utility regulation. “However, McNutt, heeding the cries of deserving party workers, has appointed a commission experienced in politics, but lacking in other qualifications.” McNutt appointees are Chairman Perry McCart, Paoli, one-time counsel for the Monon railroad and longtime Democratic cohort of the late Senator Thomas Taggart; Samuel Trabue, mayor of Rushville and head of the Municipal League, both Democrats, and Moie Cook, Logansport, Republican.
