G. Shannon for the $200,000 ransom abduction of Charles F. Urschel, oil millionaire. Sentences were pronounced by Fed- eral Judge Edgar 8. Vaught. George (Machine Gun) Kelly, who with Bates was named as being the actual kidnaper, and his wife Kath- ryn Kelly, entered pleas of not guilty to kidnaping charges. This reversed previous plans which District Attor- ney Herbert H. Hyde had announced for the couple to plead guilty. Edward Berman and Clifford Skelly, both of Minneapolis, were sentenced to five years each. They were accused of being “money chang- ers” in the disposition of $5,000 of the ransom money. Armon Shannon, 22, son of R. G. Shannon, on whose Texas farm Ur- echel was held prisoner, was given e@ 10 year suspended sentence and paroled to M. W. Burch, Decatur, ‘Tex., attorney. Found Money on Bailey Bailey, notorious outlaw who es- caped from the Kansas penitentiary Jast Memorial Day and broke out of the county jail.at Dallas Uabor Day crly to be recaptured at Ardmore, Okla., a few hours later, was captured on the Shannon farm with $700 of the ransom money in his possession. Bates was pointel out to Urschel as ene of the two men who forced him to leave a bridge game at his mansion et the point of a machine gun and took him to the Shannon farm. Urschel has identified Kelly also as one of the kidnapers, and E. E. Kirk- patrick, intermediary for the oil man, | faid it was Kelly who collected the ransom money in Kansas City. Kathryn Kelly's not guilty plea came after she had talked to Judge ‘Vaught in his office before the open- ing of court. Her plea was not s0 much a surprise as that of her hus- band, from whom s guilty plea had been expected. To Report on Shannon The court ordered Burch to report to it every six months on the conduct of Armon Shannon, who is married ‘and has one child. Armon was di- rected to hold herself in readiness to eppear as a witness in the Kelly's trial. Attorneys for Berman and Skelly gave notice of appeal.

(By the Associated Press) With coal and steel strike areas in a state of comparative calm, the eyes of industry Saturday turned to Wash- ington where new moves are under way to bring peace between workers and employers. As President Roosevelt met with leaders of the nation’s steel industry in an effort to settle finally the widespread western Pennsylvania mine strike, pickets quietly main- tained vigil under the watchful gaze of law officers. The picketing continued at steel mills in Ambridge and Clairton, Pa., and at Steubenville, O., scenes of vio- lent clashes between deputies and workers demanding union recogni- tion. Hope for solution of difficulties through application of the coal code was expressed by Donaid Richberg, NRA counsel, as he conferred with miners and owners after an outburst of inter-union warfare in southern Mlinois. At Harrisburg, Ill, National Guardsmen patrolled the scene of |rioting and shooting, with one mine |closed by order of Governor Horner. Invited _to the Washington confer- jence by President Roosevelt are My- ron Taylor of U. 8, Steel, Charles M. Schwab of Bethlehem Steel, and Na- than L. Miller of the American Iron ‘and Steel Institute. Observers hoped that from the meeting might come an arrangement by which the steel companies would agree to a modified form of union dues collection in their non-commer- cial (captive) mines. The steel men object to this check- off system, a concession demanded by some 75,000 striking miners in western Pennsylvania, ‘TWO ARE KILLED AS _ TRAIN HITS TRUCK 22 Others from lowa Farmers Club Are Injured in Chi- cago Suburb Chicago, Oct. 7.—(?)—Cal Hamack, 30, of Woodbine, Ia., owner and driver of a truck in which two Woodbine high school students were killed and 22 other injured when it was struck by a freight train in suburban Broad- view Friday night, was held by police Pending an inquest Saturday.
