LETTER

to the EDITOR

Dear Editor: Since there have been a lot of rumors going around I’d like to inform everyone that I have received a telegram from Washington, D. C. which states that Sp. 4 Herbert G. Hinkle is in excellent health, has no injuries or wounds. He is being detained as a key witness for a court martial trial and as soon as the case is over he will be sent home. I don’t know why that boy gent us such disturbing news as he did, maybe he had a grudge toward my son. But I am grateful that it isn’t true. Thank You, Herbert’s Mother, Olas Hinkle

ruled that a 17-year-old boy is away from his relatives.

Nurse Charged With Kidnaping

BRECKENRIDGE, Tenn. UPI — A six-foot, 205-pound nurse, who once served a prison term for murder, goes into court today to face a charge of kidnaping the crippled, 95-year-old California philanthropist

with whom she eloped.

Mrs. Pearl Choate Birch, 59, the new bride, was free on $5,000 bond on the kidnaping charge and charge of keeping her husband, C. Otis Birch,

not “an emancipated child” even though he earns his own spending money and owns an automobile. The state court reviewed a damage suit tried in the Sullivan Circuit Court which ended with an award of $6,600 to Gerald F. Arthur for injuries suffered in a 1957 collision near Prairie Creek in Vigo County. The trial court directed the estate of the late Marcus Lee Harmon to pay $5,000 maximum damages allowable for an injured minor plus $1,600 for medical and hospitalization expenses. But the Appellate Court, in a ruling Thursday, decided that Arthur was entitled only to $5,000 because the other $1,600 were expenses for which his widowed mother was legally responsible.

County Hospital Dismissed Thursday: Sam Hadley, Cloyerdale Ada Ford, Cloverdale Bradley Cox, Fillmore Marsha Osborn, Roachdale Pearl Rowen, Bainbridge Judy Ray, Greencastle Jack Rising, Greencastle Ella Snodgrass, Greencastle Mrs. Stephen York and daughter, Greencastle Births: Mr. and Mrs. Elmo Horner, Coatesville, Route 2, twin girls, today.

Foil To Kidnap U.S. Ambassador MADRID UPI—A group of youthful armed anarchists plotted but failed to kidnap U. S. Ambassador to Spain Angler Biddle Duke, reliable government sources said today. The plot was discovered before it materialized and five members, including a woman,

were jailed.

The sources said Duke, considered one of America’s most successful diplomats in Europe, was a target of the anarchist “Juventudes Libertarias” libertarian youths who earlier this year kidnapped the Sapnis ecclesiastical envoy in Rome, Msgr. Maroc Ussia. He was later released unharmed. The sources said the anarchists planned to hold Duke “for a long time.” Police claimed only that the group intended to kidnap “a prominent member of the U. S.

Embassy.”

But the sources revealed Duke was the target. Officials said a man identified as Luis Andres Edo was the leader of the alleged “commando kidnaping” plot.

Elmore said he and another guard ordered the women to stop in front of the Paul Harris clothing store, but they continued on to their car in the shopping center parking lot. Elmore said they followed the women to the car where the shooting occurred. The women had entered the car when the guards approached it from the

driver’s side.

Elmore said Miss Nesbitt first pulled a tear gas gun and fired a pellet at his face, then bran dished the pistol. Elmore said he pulled his 38-caliber revolver and fired at Miss Nesbitt, who ducked and put her sister in the path of the bullet.
