In January, 1936, Davis and another prisoner walked from the Benton Honor Farm, but returned voluntarily to the prison a short time later. Davis recently came before the Parole Board upon an application for release. The Board ruled that because of his escape he should lose all of the | reduction of his sentence he had | earned for previous good behavior. The Board fixed this time lost at three years and one month. Warden Kunkel, however, asserted that according to the prison records and his judgment, Davis had earned only five months’ reduction and asked the Attorney General to rule on the question.

America’s trade and possessions in other parts of the world will not permit her to remain aloof in the next foreign conflict, George Slocombe, former British newspaperman, author and world traveler told members of the Rotary Club in the Claypool Hotel yesterday. “The perpetual thought in the minds of the dictators of Germany and Italy and those in Japanese power is expansion,” he said. “With the United States having possessions far removed from its own continent, this country constantly is in danger of being drawn into a war.”

NEW JURY TO PROBE COLUMBUS SLAYING

Selection of Panel Attacked By Defense Counsel.

COLUMBUS, Ind., Nov. 24 (U. P)). Judge George W. Long today ordered selection of a new Grand Jury to investigate the case of Stanley Howard, charged with the murder of his wife, after defense attorneys attacked validity of the method used in selecting the jury last week. Howard was indicted for firstdegree murder in connection with the slaying early this month after investigation by the Grand Jury. Since the prosecution registered no objection to selecting a new Grand Jury, Judge Long ordered Jury Commissioners to meet and follow instructions of the law in placing new names in the jury box. Mrs. Howard was found dead in her home here Nov. 1 by local authorities who answered a call from Howard asking them to come. They found that Mrs. Howard had been beaten on the head and then strangled to death.

SECURITY PLAN

Out-of-State Firms Protect Employees in Indiana, Bureau Says.

Approximately 500 employers who do not come under terms of the Indiana Unemployment Compensation law have elected to provide unemployment insurance for their workers by making voluntary contributions, it was learned today.

In general, the Indiana law requires contributions based on payrolls, from employers of eight or more persons, Clarence A. Jackson, State Unemployment Compensation Division director, said. “Many of the voluntary contributors,” he reported, “are out-of-state firms employing less than eight people in branch Indiana offices. Normally these companies would not be subject to the Indiana law. Federal Law Aids

“Usually, however, these firms have eight or more employees in the United States and aré subject to the payroll tax levied by the Federal Social Security Act.” Mr. Jackson said these employers, by electing to become subject to the Indiana law, are building up benefit rights for their Indiana employees without additional expense to themselves. : “Instead of paying the entire amount of their tax to the Federal Government, they make contributions to the State Unemployment Compensation Division, and receive credits for such amounts up to 90 per cent of the Federal tax.” Benefits in this state are to be

paid to unemployed workers after April 1.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2¢ (U. P)— Francis A. O'Neill, attorney for former President Gerardo Machado of Cuba, notified U. S. Commissioner Garrett W. Cotter today that Senor Machado would surrender in Federal Court next Monday on a warrant seeking his extradition to Cuba. The warrant was issued in 1034 charging Senor Machado with embezzlement and murder before he fled from Cuba upon the overthrow of his Government. Mr. O'Neill, a former U. S. com=missioner, said Senor Machado would appear for the purpose of having the extradition proceedings dismissed on the grounds that feeling against the former Cuban dictator has now subsided. Senor Machado was said to be ill and in a greatly weakened condition. Mr. O'Neill also represented Gen. Alberto Herrera, a member of Senor Machado’s Cabinet, who was similarly charged. Gen. Herrera appeared in court in 1934 and successfuily fought extradition on the grounds that the charges against him were political.

FLEES POLICE, GIVES UP AND BEGS PARDON

Driver Gets New Experience, But It’s All a Mistake.

William T. Bohne, 43, R. R. 3, Box 516, today knew how it feels to be chased by police, sirens screamiig and bullets whistling. But it turned out to be a mistake, A police squad in charge of Sergt. Carl Baase spotted a sedan which answered the description of a holdup car. They chased it out W. Morris St. to Mars Hill and three miles beyond, where they lost the trail. Returning, they saw through the smoke and gloom of early morning a car which looked like the one they had been following. When the driver failed to stop at Sergt. Baase's command, police fired warning shots and then three at the rear tires. Att Morris and Chadwick Sts. the driver halted, jumped out and shouted, “Don’t shoot! I thought it was stickup men.” Police were satisfied they had been on a wild goose chase.

IN FATAL SHOOTING

Supreme Court Holds Judge Erred in Jury Charge.

The Indiana Supreme Court today had reversed the conviction of Mrs. Peacie Hill, sentenced in Howard County to serve one to 10 years for fatally shooting her husband. Mrs. Hill shot her husband during a quarrel, the trial record showed, and she claimed she acted in selfdefense. : In the Supreme Court opinion written by Judge James P. Hughes, it was held that the Howard County trial judge was in error when he told the jury it could return one of three verdicts: Not guilty, voluntary manslaughter or involuntary manslaughter. “The appellant (Mrs. Hill) was charged in the affidavit with voluntary manslaughter, and one so charged cannot be found guilty of involuntary manslaughter,” the Supreme Court said. “The two degrees of manslaughter are distinct and different crimes.”
