3d Prison Rugitive Captured | Here in 90-MPH Police Chase CATILE MARKET
State and city police today recaptured Charles Gilchrist, 26- year-old)
reformatory escapee, after a 90-mile-of gunfire and a mass of wreckage.
an-hour chase that ended in a burst!
A fusillade of bullets sent Gilchrist's stolen car screaming into a
traffic sign post at the 2200 block on White River pkwy., but the escaped
convict crawled out with only minor “I wish it had killed me,” he told his captors. The final episode in Gilchrist's brief stretch of freedom began early this morning when Clifford Powers, farmer near Ladoga, reported to state police his car had been stolen. Trooper Bob Morgan picked up the trail on state road 34 leading to
ahead. Just outside Speedway City, state troopers Fred Lee and Ernest Har-
ris of the Indianapolis post spotted |
the fleeing convict and gave chase. As Gilchrist sent his machine hurtling up 16th st. toward White River, city squad cars 28 and 29 joired the pursuit. At Memorial bridge, a third city police car blocked the road but Gilchrist bounced over the curb, narrowly missed plunging through the bridge rail and into the river, and then sped north on White River parkway. The state troopers opened fire with a sawed-off shotgun and Dale Crittenden and James Hayes in car 38 also fired several shots. One of the shots apparently struck a rear tire of Gilchrist’s car,

BIG HOLE BLASTED IN HAIFA REFUGEE SHIP
Jewish ‘Frogmen’ Set!
Underwater Mines.
JERUSALEM, Aug. 22 (U. P.).— daring Jews, swimming | through Haifa harbor under withering gunfire, blew a hole in the refugee troopship Empire Rival last night by attaching ‘mines to its hull. The explosives planted by the swimmers blasted a hole eight by three feet in the ship's side below the waterline. The Empire Rival pulled into shallow water under her own steam. A .few minutes later she reportedly began to fill with water. A curfew was imposed in the Haifa harbor area. The swimmers used the same “frogman” tactics used by the Germans against allied ships during the war. They escaped arrest. By damaging the Empire Rival, the Jews have now knocked out both Liberty ships assigned by the British to transporting illegal Jewish immigrants from Haifa to Cyprus. ‘The Empire Heywood is being repaired in Haifa harbor after being damaged by flashlight bombs exploded inside her hold. The Empire Rival was attacked shortly after returning from her second trip to Cyprus with deported refugees. The refugees aboard the damaged Empire Heywood had been scheduled for transfer to the Rival.

WARRANT 1S. SSUED “IN NEGLECT CASE
‘Father Ordered Brought in For Sentencing.
Scott McDonald, juvenile judge pro tem, today issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Grover Fields, 31, of route 20, and ordered him returned for sentencing on a yearold conviction for child neglect. When the case was heard in July, 1945, Fields was found guilty but judgment was withheld on condition “he properly provide” for .his four children. He was charged a second time this week when deputy sheriffs found the four youngsters unattended at the Fields home. His wife, Abbey Louise, 26, who {was found not guilty in the first | trial, also was charged this week land released under $1000 bond {pending hearing. Fields was released on his own recognizance, also pending hearing, set for sometime next week. The children, LeRoy, 10; Billy, 8; Barbara, 6, and Joan, 4, have been made wards of the court pending the outcome of the case. Deputies found Joan running a hikh fever and sleeping on an uncovered mattress, and took her to City hospital | for treatment. The home, where the children were left while the parents were away, was infested with flies, and open doors permitted chickens to roost on the floors, in the beds and even on the table where the children prepared makeshift meals with food provided by the neighbors.

The two younger boys each has a police record of four arrests, including previous charges of vehicletaking. Today the 14-year-old youth was again charged with vehicle-taking. Young Dolan had never been arrested., Wearing a patch over one eye and limping with a crutch from inJuries received in the accident, the younger of the two boys who appeared in juvenile court today told Judge McDonald: “We were going to take the car back. I don't know what happens to me at times.” The - automobile, a 13-year-old model, was stolen from a downtown sales lot Sunday. It was parked on a northside street, the boys returnbr
ing two days later and embarking on their wild ride. Judge McDonald disclosed that the young intellectual’s school principal had urged him “not to make a criminal out of this boy by sending him to an institution.” The principal's comment was made at a hearing on a previous vehicle-taking charge three months ago. The reckless homicide charge was dismissed against the younger defendan®, in as much as the maximum penalty possible was given by Judge McDonald.

It was picked up from the Swiss radio and word spread rapidly through cafes, shops and the streets, with the whispered news gaining in gravity with every retelling. Belgrade streets were gaudy with posters calling up all Yugoslav military classes through the age of 26 to report for drafting within a week.
