Radio Prize Given To Philip Clifford .

For solving a brutal New York tavern holdup-slaying . in Spring of 1935, an Indianapolis Times reporter, Philip F. CIifford Jr., has been awarded Pall Mall's $500 Big Story radio award. : The slaying, almost overlooked {by the then crime-plagued New |York City police, was a bizarre istary from beginning to end. Mr. Clifford has been notified the story will he dramatized over station WIRE on a coast-to-coast hookup on Mar, 30.

ing with his wife in Beech Grove, Mr. Clifford recalls a strange regiiest Collins made after he was sentenced. The youthful prisoner asked and was granted permission to legally marry his common-law

- wife, an expectant mother.

To the young Mirrof reporter, who later became an agent of the Army's Criminal, Investigatio Division during the late war, the case itself became.a paradox. For when Collins and his wife were wed in the musty, old, ill-

lighted Queens County jailhouse,

the onetime thug made one last strange request. He asked the Mirror reporter to attend his wedding. And when a City Court judge read the marital vows uniting the couple that bleak December day, Phil Clifford, the reporter who helped convict the bridegroom, stood up as his best man.
