Former Times Man Interviews Criminal

MY LIFE IN CRIME: The Autobiography of a Profesional Criminal, > Reported by John Bartlow Martin, ¥

Recent stories of prison riots in Jackson, Mich, and Trenton, N.J.,, again focus public interest on crime and criminals, John Bartlow. Martin, formerly of The Indianapolis Times

A UTCHER'S DOZEN, now comes forth with the life-

whom he calls Gene, told the story In a long series of interviews during which Mr. Martin took dictation on the typewriter, Assured of anonymity and trustful of Mr. Martin, Gene told a good deal, barring some episodes we may assume to have involved crimes not covered by the statute of limitations. Incidentally, in this era of quizzing, probing and persecuting, it would not be surprising if some congressional Investigator tried to put the heat on Mr. Martin so as to bring Gene out of obscurity and quiz him about those mysterious episodes. Gene was a burglar, cool-head-ed, and, as he called it, “scientific,” whenever possible. He did not care for violence, though he could use it when encessary. He preferred the well-engineered job

LADYCAKE FARM, Miss Hunt's 20th book, concerns a Negro family who move from town to a farm in a district where they are completely surrounded by whites.

The move involves putting the Freeds’ little house on rollers and slowly hauling it by mule team several miles to its new location, On the way, Poppy, Mommy, Little Joe, India Rose and Pearlie May are kindly treated by some white people having a church social near where the Freed house “parks” for the night. A cake from the social, given them with a big bowl of ice cream, becomes to the children a symbol of good manners—it's “ladycake.” And thé word suggests a name for their new farm home. But one sour, mean neighbor
