PENAL FARM AITHOKITIF.S BUI NT OFFICIALLY "DEAD" MAN BACK TO LIFE INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 21. -- Tho Northwest Mounted polire have n slogan of "Get your man," hut the Indiana state penal farm officials have one of "We bring them hack from the dead." It arose out of the strange case of Floyd Franks, who ran for ■ precinct committeeman at Bloomington in the lust elec tion and who a week ago was stone dead as fur as officials state records go. Today Franks is hack among the living and facing n prcseatleas Christmas at the Indiana penal farm rear PutnamviUe. Franks, according to authorities here, motored down to Bloomington some time after being defeated for precinct committeeman in the last election and married u girl. It was found that the automobile in which he rode had been stolen. Franks’ honeymoon was interrupted by police who .arrested him. He was sentenced to a term on the state penal farm. Soon after his airival he developed an emergency cose of appendicitis. He was rushed by ambulance to the Robert Long hospital which is a unit of the Indiana university medical center here. Shortly alter the operation, Night ■Captain Gilbert Hunter of the penal farm staff received a call which had all the earmarks of being official that Franks had died of the operation, The body would be reclased to

the next of kin upon request, the njessage said. Hunter notified his superiors and the machinery was set in motion to bury Franks. Officials of the penal farm messaged Mrs. Fern Franks, the "widow” who lives near Bloomington, of the “death” of her husband. But before Franks could be “buried" there was another call to the penal farm. This time the attendant of the Robert Long hospital said that Franks had i ron operated upon successfully and Mid recovered to a point where he should tie removed to the farm. The penal farm officials compared otes and Franks was brought back fiem the dead after his belongings nail been disposed of and his record

dosed.

Long hospital authorities denied ■y knowledge of the first call that '.Its was dead. A parole officer .as nished / to the hospital and Fi nks was carted back to ihe penal .inn instead of going home where i had planned to spend Christmas, id the clever ruse worked.
