WASHINGT o — Farm Tractor Believed Torture ‘Machine Used at Mer Rouge BY the Associated Press. BASTROP, La, March 8.—Persons who have examined carefully the re- port of the pathologists on the con- dition of the mutilated bodles of Watt Danfel and T. F. Richard, found in Lake La Mourche December 22 last, and who are familiar with mechanical devices, declare they believe they have identified the so-called “torture machine” as one of the many road or farm tractors in use throughout the parish. Danlel and Richard were kid- naped August 24, and nothing was heard of them until four months later, when two bodles were found in the lake and identified as those of the missing men. The head of each was crushed, the hands and feet of each had been crushed off, and at equal distances the lower 1€gs, thighs, up- per arms and forearms were broken. The chests had been crushed in, the ribs torn from the breastplates under the pressure, and the body identified as that of Daniel bore some indica- tions of having undergone a serious surgical operation before death. Wounds Inflicted at Death. The pathologists testified at the open hearing here in January that an examination indicated the wounds had been inflicted before or just at cath.

Fractures of the forearms were on.a level with the heads and those who assert the bodies must have been broken with a tractor believe they were stretched on the ground and the machine run or pushed over them, Such a ma- chine as the one near here, it is con- tended, would infilct such injurles, the avy s on the wide wheels frac- turing the arm and leg bones, crush- | ing ads and chests and sever- | ¢ the hands and feet at NEW AR LOONS, SAYS L HAMLEW Sees Outbreak in Southeast- ern Europe in Month Un- less U.

Dougherty, member of a detective agency which specializes in furnish- ing labor to industrial conce has given up his hope of helping France exploit the coal mines of the Ruhr through the medium of American negroes. Dougherty announced upon his ar- rival on the steamship Majestic yes- terday that lie would transport from 500 to 5,000 nesro miners to the Ruhr.

Janeau was conveying about 700 woebegone Arabs from Algiers to the Ruhr coal fields. Mr. Dougherty sald. “He told me that these Arabs were no good as mine workers, that they could not stand the gaff and usually ter three hours' work were all in. He sald that this was his second trip and that the previous bunch had last- ed only a few da T told Janeau that 1 had had experience in Supply- ing large bodies of men for industrial organizations. Janeau became inter- ested at once and proposed that I see what T could do, telling me he could use all the men I obtained up to 3,000, He said he would take care of all matters affecting compensation and transportation and would also see that any international complications that might arise would be handled from Paris through the French for- eign office. “He assured me that there would be a net profit to me of half a dollar a day for each man provided, and with that financial incentive in view I immediately cabled from Marseille, asking my brother George to get busy unding up the negroes. Then I iled_for New York, only to learn when I reached here that a thorough combing of the various mine districts did not_net 100 men willing to go to the Ruhr.

It is known that the authorities have received numerous anonymous letters from plantation owners and farmers in all sections of the state suggesting that a tractor must have been used, and the arguments to sus- tain the theory are similar to those advanced here.

By the Associated Pres DEDHAM. Mass, March 8.—A bat. te of affidavits was in prospect as prosecuting oflicials and attorney for Nicola Saceo and Bartolomeo Van. zetli made preparations today for the hearing tomorrow on motions for a new trial for the two men, who were convicted of the murder of a paymaster and his guard in South Braintree. Meanwhile, Sacco, in the Jail here, began the twenty-second day of his hunger strike after a good night's sleep and with little apparent change in his condition. { The defense bases its moti another trial on® amdsvits ob> e nesses that they testified falsely at the first trial, and on_the fact that the foreman ‘of the jury, who has since died, had in_ the jury room three cartridges similar to those taken from u gun found in Sacco's! possession. 1In counter aMdavits filed | by the state yesterday two witnesses repudiated their affidavits for the de- fense and asserted that they had Raleigh, former Secretary of the Navy; Judge Frank Daniels of Golds- boro, and C. C. Daniels of New York city, who were at her bedside when she ' died, and other close relatives and numerous friends attended the simple funeral rites. Mrs. Daniels, who was born in Hyde county, N. C., was left an or: phan at an early age and in 1865 the death of her husband threw her upon her own resources during the debacle that followed the war between the states. She moved to Wilson and did dressmaking to. support her three sons. Later she established a milli- nery store and afterwards obtained an appointment as postmistress here and held that position until 1881. For the last seventeen yvears she had made her home with Judge Daniels in Goldsboro. —_— DENIES HE PROFITED BY RUSS TRADE PLAN W. L. Webster, Indicted in New York, Says He Put $50,000 Into Scheme.

BARTLESVILLE, Okla., March 8.— A new “Jesse James” has appeared in the west. Unmasked, he is leading his gang of desperadoes in a series of bank robberies that keeps the border countfes of Kansas and Oklahoma terrorized. A Jjewelry store and eight banks have been rifled by the bandits, under his direction, in the past year. Rewards totaling 330,000 have been offered for him, dead or alive. He s Al Spencer, who forsook the peaceful pursuits of farming in Nowata county to enter upon a career of banditry that promised to ap- proach, If not eclipse, the record of his notorious predecessor. Cool, clear-headed and hard as steel, Spencer is recognized as a real “bad man,” and the scores of officers who are scouring the border countles for him are convinced that the only way they can bring him in is in a coffin. Spencer has not resorted to killing yet. but officers belleve he would not hesitate should the necessity arise. Converses During Ratds. This short, stocky built man has entered banks at Talala, Dewey and Osage, Okla.; Cambridge, Elgin, Chau- tauqua, Tyroes and Dexter, Kan. command in each case has been much the same “The easlest way out,” he says, “is to glve me all you've got and do it in a hurry.” In the rald at Talala Spencer en- countered In the bank a young woman with whom he attended school. He chatted for a moment with her as his confederates made away with the bank's money. In another bank Spencer conversed with one of the officials whom he knew. Is Escaped Convict. Spencer’s connection with each of the raids has been established through pictures of him efrculated by the Oklahoma penitentiary officials. He is an escaped convict, but is said to have made the boast that he doesn't intend to serve any more time. His boon companion and confederate is said to be Dick Gregg, a twenty-two- year-old boy who is also a fugitive from justice, having jumped a $10,000 bond ‘after he was arrested in con- | nection with the Elgin Tobbery, | homa and Kansas as “the bandit of the Osage.” A half mile west of Bartlesville the Osage county linc is drawn. Five miles west of that is a labyrinth of hills, with which few white men are entirely familiar. Trails and bypaths wind about these hills.
