KOKOMO MAN'S PRISON VISITS ARE REVEALED Former G. 0. P. Leader Denies He Aid Pierpont in Break, BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Time* Stiff Writer Omer Brown, Kokomo, former Howard county sheriff and one time Republican county chairman, visited Harry Pierpont at the Indiana state prison six times before Pierpont led the escape of ten prisoners there Sept. 26, 1933, it was learned by The Times today. During the period the visits were made by Brown, he was attempting to obtain a parole for Pierpoint from the state ciemency board. Brown was named by Prosecutor Ernest Botkin, of Lima, 0., as the "finger man” in the delivery of John Dillmger from the Lima jails. The charge against Brown was brought out by the prosecutor in closing arguments at the trial of Russell Clark, one of the Dillmger gangsters, for the murder of Sheriff Jess Sarber, who was shot to death when Dillmger was delivered. Pierpont and Charley Makley already had been condemned for their part in the murder. Admits Lima Visit Three days before his name was mentioned by the Ohio prosecutor, Brown gave a lengthy interview regarding his connections with Dillinger and Pierpont to a Kokomo newspaper. He admitted visiting Dillinger in the Lima Jail a few days before the delivery, but said he went there from Kokomo to obtain an order for SSO which Dillinger had promised as aid in obtaining a parole for a fellow prisoner who still remained at the Indiana state prison. En route to Lima, he again visited the parents of Pierpont at Liepsic, 0., brown was quoted as saying. He had been there before and the prison records show that the Pierponts were with Brown when he visited Harry Pierpont at the prison Aug. 4. Other visits of Brown to see Pierpont at the prison were June 22 and 28, July 12 and 24, Aug. 4 and 25. Parole Is Denied Pierpont’s petition for parole was denied by the state clemency board Aug. 24. All dates are 1933. Governor Paul V. McNutt has charged in speeches that officials expect to prove a payoff" in connection with the prison break. Reports of various amounts have been current. State police admit that they are looking for Pearl Elliott of Kokomo as a possible key witness in connection with the case. Last trace of her was when she was reported renting apartments for the Dillinger ] gangsters during their stay in Chicago, it was said. In his statement to the Kokomo paper, Brown did not disclose the i name of the prisoner on whose be- j half he was getting SSO from Dil- I linger. He said an order was given j him on ‘‘an Indianapolis reiu„.ve” whose name he would not care to bring into the affair. Pay Tribute to Sarber His conference in Lima was the first time he had ever met Dillinger, Brown explained. Although his explanation was published on Thursday of last week and his name was not mentioned by Prosecutor Botkin until Saturday, it contained the following. “It was inevitable. I suppose, that my name would be brought into the prosecutions over there at Lima, not only because of my visit to Dillinger, but because I had represented Harry Pierpont in his attempt early last summer to obtain a parole.” High tribute was paid by Brown to Sheriff Jess Sarber and his kindly reception at the Lima jail. Brown also stated that after Pierpent escaped from prison he visited his relatives and wanted them to try to get in touch with him and urge him to return.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

FIRST SLEEPER PLANES GO IN SERVICE SOON American Airways’ Crafts to Be Put in Use Within Three Weeks. By Times Special ST. LOUIS, Mo„ March 29—The world's first sleeper planes, with berths one inch longer than those of the standard American sleeping car, will go into service within tnree weeks on routes of American Airways, it was announced today by Lester D. Seymour, airways president. The planes, manufactured by the Curtis- Wright Airplane Company here, are an improved type of the Condor biplane, have a top speed of 190 miles an hour, a cruising speed of 160 miles an hour ana carry twelve passengers, two pilots and a steward. The first of the fleet of six sleeper planes which the airline has purchased is being test flown here and will be delivered to American Airways within two weeks, factory officials said. The others will be delivered at the rate of one a week. First installation of this equipment will be made on the company’s Dallas, Ft. Worth, Los Angeles route. This route will be flown in approximately ten hours, Mi*. Seymour said, which compares with fastest rail time of forty-four hours. Berths in the new sieeper planes are convertible in flight or on the ground into wide, comiortable lounge seats so the passengers may sit up until ready to retire. Arranged like the interior of a railroad sleeping car, each section contains an upper and lower. Each berth is as iuily equipped with individual heating and cooling vents, reading lights at the head and foot of each berth, a clothes net and hanger and a wide luggage rack at the foot for the passenger's baggage. Air conditioning of the plane in flight is accomplished by two lare suction type ventilators set in the cabin ceiling which effect a complete change of air every three minutes. Whiie on the ground portable blowers will force cool or warm air into the cabin to assure an even temperature while the planes are being serviced at stops. TAX EXEMPTION FOR FIREMEN ANNOUNCED Smoke Eaters Can Deduct SSOO From Property Levy. Another reason for singing ‘‘Oh! For the Life of a Fireman’ was found by Attorney-General Philip Lutz Jr. today. He set out in an opinion to Clem Smith, head of the fire marshal’s division of the state safety department, that all active firemen are entitled to SSOO property tax exemption. Mr. Smith wants the opinion to instruct firemen how the exemption can be obtained. He is an officer of the Indiana Fire Chiefs’ Association.
