RING AROUND’ A POLICEMAN-

Pocket Full of Loot; But This Time 12 and 20 Has Double Meaning.

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 4 (U. P.)— A 24-year-old suspect who reportedly escaped two weeks ago from Oklahoma State Penitentiary, was in jail here today because he tried to tell a city detective that a Scottish Rite Lodge ring was a “graduating class” ring. The suspect, who gave his name as Richard Shelton of Petersburg, Va., was trying to pawn the ring when he ran into Detective John Phillips, a Mason. “That’s my school ring,” explained Shelton, pointing to the number “32” on the ring. “Then we must have graduated the same year,” replied Phillips, showing his own Scottish Rite ring with “32” on it designating a 32d Degree Mason. Shelton was taken into custody. He said he and two other convicts had committed several robberies after their escape two weeks ago from prison at McAlester, Okla. While acting as a “lookout” during a burglary in Indianapolis, Shelton decided to slip away from his companions and take the robbery loot with him. He arrived in Columbus and attempted to pawn several articles when detectives apprehended him. Detectives said he would be turned over to Indianapolis police. “If I hadn’t run out on my buddies, I'd. probably still be free.”

Loot Stolen From North Side Homes

gLoot found in Shelton’s car-was

stolen Thursday from two North Side homes, Indianapolis police said. It consisted of about $700 worth of jewelry belonging to Herbert Swiggert, 5023 Guilford Ave. and a fur coat valued at about $100 taken from the home of J. H. Carnine, 818 E. 48th St. Shelton waived extradition. City Detective Stewart Coleman and a State policeman will go to Columbus Monday to bring Shelton here for trial.

Woodruff Place Posts Bow to Stone

Disagrees With Writer Who Thinks McNutt Can’t Muster Over 200 Delegates.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.—Mark

Sullivan, writing a political dope story regarding the Roosevelt domination of the 1940 Democratic convention, said: “Probably even the energetic Paul V. McNutt would not have over 200 delegates out of the 1100 that make

up the convention.” Frank McHale, on his trip East to confer with Mr. McNutt last week, contended, however, that the Sullivan figure was far too low “judging from present prospects.” Mr. McHale, who is Mr, McNutt’s campaign manager, also denied the substance of a New York Times story which stated that Postmaster James A. Farley actively is making countermoves against the McNutt campaign. “I have traveled around a good deal and have not crossed any trail to show that Jim Farley actively is trying to checkmate us,” Mr. McHale declared.

2 2 The Big Chief from Indianapolis put his imprimatur on the Washington eolumn by Harlan Miller which stated: “Some of the top men in the McNutt-for-President drive are saying confidently that if Roose-' velt isn’t a candidate, McNutt will be nominated by a wide margin on the third ballot.”

He summed up his attitude in the matter by saying: “A speech of mine + wouldn't change a single vote in the House and I see no reason to bore my colleagues with a lot of home-con-sumption stuff.” Those not making speeches included Reps. William H. Larrabee, John W. Boehne Jr., and William T. Schulte on the Democratic side. The latter was absent from most of the sessions, until the House got down to business this week. Asked if he had been in town, Rep. Schulte said: “Certainly. have been studying agriculture out at Laurel.” Laurel is one of the famous nearby Maryland horse tracks. Rep. Eugene B. Crowe (D.
