WIDE SEARCH FOR ESCAPED ’SNOOD SLAYER’

7ire$4one

WASHINGTON, April 4 — (UP)—Ex-marine Earl McFarland. 25-year-old condemned “snood slayer," remained at large today as officials pressed an investigation into the latest of sensational escapes from the sieve-like Washington, jail. The jailbreak led irate congressional leaders and the Justice Department to launch an immediate investigation into the capital's prison practices. The house committee for the District of Columbia ordered acting jail superintendent Claude O. Eotkins and police supcriivtcndcnt Harvey G. Callahan to appear at a closed session for questioning of the repeated escapes from a jail that was once called escape-proof. Attorney General Tom C. Clark announced the Justice's Department's inquiry shortly after the FBI was asked to help in the search for McFarland. Clark ordered FBI Chief J. Ed gar Hoover to lend every possible aid. As the entire east coast joined in the dogged search for McFarland, his get-away companion, Joseph B. Medley, also a condemned murdered, lounged about defiantly in his death row cell from which the pair staged their escape yesterday. Medley, 44, suave and sophisticated nemesis of red-haired women, was dragged shivering aivl cold from an 18-foot length of drainage pipe on the bank of the Anacostia river seven hours after the break. Bloodhounds led) | police to his hideaway. Police worked through the ! night running down a fkard of j reports on McFarland's where- ! abouts. , But they still were unable to pick up the trail of the hand- , | some hero of Guadalcanal after he and Medley locked up their two guards and casually escaped through a skylight to the jail roof. They slid to the ground on a sheet rope. 1 Federal agents believed McFarland might be headed for New Bern, N. C., where he has a wife and child. Guards were posted on all roads, docks, airports and at railroad and bus stations. McFarland was scheduled to die in the electric chair June 14 for raping doll-like Dorothy Berrum, 19-year-old Chippewa Falls, Wis., government girl in a lonely park in October, 1944, and then strangling her with her own snood. . Medley will now die April 30 for the brutal robbery-slaying of Mrs. Nancy Boyer, 45-ycar-old rej-headed divorcee, after an all-night poker party in her swank Washington apartment on March 5, 1945. She was believed to have been his third titianhaired victim. Meanwhile, their two death row guards. Oscar L. Sanderlein, 39, and Hubert Davis, 30, were charged with negligence in tonnectlon with the escape. They pleaded innocent and were freed under $1,000 bond each after a hearing had been set for April 12. Although the guards denied the negligence charges, they told a weird story of playing cards with their condemned prisoners and then setting the stage for their escape when Sanderlein complained of feeling ill and went into Medley’s cell to lie down.

MOKE ACCURATE RICHMOND, flnd. April 3 (^NS)- The Richmond Pal-ladium-Item has come to the conclusion that the U. S. weather bureau is a more accurate forecaster of weather than the "old-fashioned way." The newspaper pointed out that the ground hog saw his shadow Feb. 2 but that the old saying that such an occurrence would result in six more weeks of winter weather had not been fulfilled. Also that old weather law if March comes in like a Hon, the month goes out like a lamb, and vice-versa. This March, as Hoosiers know, was lamb-likc throughout the entire period. In, fact, Richmond found that thla March was the wannest since records have been available in 1884.
