Cloud Sets On Parley For Armistice
By United Press TOKYO, Sunday, Mar. 9 — An Allled charge that the Communists have shipped at least 1000 prisoners, including Americans, across the North Korean border to Manchuria today clouded the Korea truce talks at Panmunjom, The Reds, in a bitter series of mutual accusations during Saturday's session, said the Allies were guilty of “lawless activities” in their own prison camps. They made a vague threat of retaliation if such activities were not halted. Negotiators met for three minutes today and then adjourned. Other developments: ONE—United Nations Supreme Commander Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway assured the Republic of Korea national assembly that the United Nations will insist on an accounting for some 80,000 South Korean civilians in Communist] hands. TWO—Premier Chou En-lai of Communist China charged in a broadcast from Peiping that] American fliers have dropped dis- | ease-carrying insects in Man-| churla. He warned that any] guilty pilots, if captured, will be treated as war criminals. THREE—The Communists accused the Allies of firing artillery shells loaded with propaganda leaflets into the neutral zone at Panmunjom. United Nations

A coroner's jury ruled that the deaths were double murder and suicide, : Chief of Police Ben C.

It looked as if she had tried to run away. Mrs. Hancock was in the living room, moaning and half-conscious. The boy crawled and staggered outside and a neighbor rushed him to the hospital after calling police.” .
At Marion County Hospital, an attendant said
that both Billy and Mrs. Hancock should recover. The boy was conscious but could not give a lucid account of what happened. Mrs. Hancock could not be questioned, attendants said.
Lawless was the chief clerk and cashier for |
Boyd "Construction. Co. and brother of Marion County Attorney Mike Lawless. His firm is a prosperous one. - “He was a quiet, mild-mannered, well-respect-ed citizen,” a friend said. “We're at a loss to understand why he did this terrible thing.”
