JOLIET, 1., June 9.— The State’s “freak convict"—one who invades homes and chloroforms his victims, and who once was caught reading a volume of Balzac in a kitchen of a Chicago residence— has escaped for the third time, and by a queer trick. Fn route to the honor farm with other convicts he crawled into a hedge fence and remained hidden until a freizht train passed, which he hoarded for Chicago. Clarence Brown, 45, the convict, once told police that robbery was a pleasure. “It's in my brain. T can’t get it out any more than an honest man can become a burglar.” he said. Brown has spent more than half of his life in jalls or prisons. problem. He recommended that all congregations, particularly those in rural districts, should provide their astors with automobiles in order to work. As an indication of the rapidity with which English is displacing Swedish in all the congregations of the synod, the speaker said the synod’s publication house was finding it increasingly difficult to dispose of Swedish literature. The synod is com- posed of Lutherans of Scandinavian origin. Gen. Slavens Transferred. Brig. Gen. Thomas H.

By the Assoclated Press. BRIDGEWATER, Mass., June 9.— Police today were guarding the home of Alfred E. Cox, following his re- ceipt of a threatening letter, which authorities believe was written by sympathizers of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzettl, convicted mur- derers, Apparently referring to the recent bombing of the home of Sammuel John- son, whose sister-in-law was a materi- al State witness at the Sacco-Vanzetti trial, the letter told Cox “vour home is next unless you do vour best for our cause.” There was no signature Cox, formerly an assistant pa) master for a shoe company here, was ng a $60.000 pay roll on Decem- . 1919, when -four men opened fire on him and his guards.

Vanzetti was not appre- hended until after the payroll robbery at Braintree in April the following year, in which a paymaster and guard were shot dead, and for which he and Sacco were subsequent- 1y convicted. % o Duty With National Guard.
