Seven years ago a sledge swung by a fellow prisoner, a giant negro, struck off the shackles riveted around Burns' ankle and he es- caped from a road camp where he had been sent for his part in a $4 | robbery, from which his share was $1.33. He had drifted down south after discharge from the army and, | with two chance companions, rob- bed a grocery. In the pursuit that followed the breaking of the shackles he out- witted guards and bloodhounds, and reached Chicago penniless. He got a job in a packing plant at $3 a day. Then he stepped up to a $40 a week job figuring beef aver- ages and rented a room at 6444 Ingleside avenue. “That's where I met the woman who caused all the trouble,” he says.

Burns had the idea for his real estate magazine and worked nights to get money to start. Soon it was a going concern and he had won the confidence of prominent d. | business men. His income from the magazine alone was estimated at $20,000 yearly. Then he met Lillian Salo, 22, of Minneapolis, pretty violin student. They fell in love and Burns left his wife. Soon after that two deputies from Georgia walked into Burns’ office. “We want you,” they said. “I knew he was married,” said Miss Salo, “and we were waiting for him to get a divorce. I didn't know about the prison record, but it doesn't make any difference. I'll wait for him.” As for Burns, former Brooklyn newsboy, he has his own protective philosophy. A motto on his of- fice wall sums it up. “Take the bumps easy,” it reads. Burns' plea against extradition, based on his record since escape and his war service (he took part in four major battles and claims a citation), was refused by Governor Emmerson. Now he has voluntarily agreed to return to Georgia and serve out his sentence. - e UNALGA IS DUE NOON TOMORROW The Coast Guard Cutter, Unalga, Commander E. S.
