By the Associated Press. Investigators of the La Follette Labor Investigating Committee pushed their search of files of the Burns and Pinkerton detective agencies in severa! cities today as preparations were com- pleted for the committee's first formal hearing here tomorrow. Officials said files of the two de- tective agencies had been opened to the committee in Cleveland, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Atlanta and New Orleans. Committee officials said the railway audit and inspection company refused this week to open its files and officials of this agency have been subgenaed to appear before the committee with the company records at 11 a.m. to- MOrTow. Convicts (Continued From First Page.) He had been shot in the mouth, chest and left shoulder, but his recovery was expected, unless complications develop. In his mouth was the wad from a shotgun shell, indicating he had been fired on at close range. Oliver wore a shirt in which was sewed a tag identifying it as the property of the Maryland Penitentiary. Unable to speak, he wrote replies to several questions, giving his name as Luther Sullivan. 36, and an address in the 200 block of First street southwest. The shirt tag precipitated immediate inquiries. Elmer C. Carl, superintendent of the prison farm, informed police here of the details of the pair’s escape. Serving 3!3-Year Term. Oliver had been serving a 3!3-year sentence on two convictions for chickea stealing and receiving stolen goods ir Capitol Heights, Md. He entered the Baltimore Penitentiary November 2, 1935, and about a month later was sent to the Spring Grove State Hos- pital for mental observation. He re- mained in the hospital until last January 11, and then was returned vo Baltimore. On July 21, he was trans- ferred to the prison farm, a 900-acre “model” institution for the most trust- ed prisoners. Gall was committed to the peniten- tiary January 3, 1933, for burglary in Baltimore. His sentence was to have expired March 9, 1937. The two men became acquainted at the prison farm, where they worked in a stone quarry. Like their 250 fel- lows, they were unguarded and al- lowed to roam the farm more or less at will. “Taps” at the prison usually is sounded at 10 p.m. and a check-up made of the inmates. Saturday night, however, the men were allowed to stay up a little later than usual be- cause they have no work on Sunday. Fled From Hall Oliver and Gall were in the recrea- tion hall about 10:15 pm. When an overseer turned his back, fhey ran out the door, customarily locked, but left open that night because of the heat. Prison officials believe the pair ran up the tracks of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad’s Washington County branch, which adjoins the farm, and hopped a freight train at Weaverton. Oliver’s identification was completed by old burn scars on his face and he was traced from Farr's house to the field where he was found by splotches of blood on the grass. His wife, Mrs. Sylvia Sullivan, lives in the 400 block of Maryland avenue sSouthwest. Reached there today, she said her husband’s full name was William Oliver Sullivan. They have been separated about three years— sinée they quarreled about his crimi- nal escapades, she said. Mrs. Sullivan said she had visited rd | her husband in the Baltimore Peni- tentiary two months ago and later had received a letter from him in- forming her that he had been trans- ferred to the prison farm. Both Oliver and Gall at first at- tempted to hide their identity from police, but Oliver subsequently ad- mitted his escape and that he had been prowling around Farr’s house. Oliver’s first story was that he had been drinking with two friends and did not know how he had been in- BT | jured. Gall told Gallinger physicians he had met Oliver in a hobo “jungle” ln West Virginia and that they had come to Farr's farm “to look for a drink of water.” — Car Smashed, Two Escape. Archibald Ma lane of Clifton, England, drove an automobile over a steep embankment at Glencoe. It over- turned and was smashed to pieces. Macfarlane and a boy who was riding with him emerged from the wreckage without so much as a scratch.

Lashed (Continued From First Page.) tell the man that, if he would tell the truth the judge at his trial would be apprised of that. Phillips then upheld defense objec- tions and, with the jury still out, So- licitor Zeb V. Nettles called A. Bridge- water, radio service man, who told the court he was present when the confession was made and heard Moore tell of slaying the girl. Before Brown took the stand, Cor- oner George F. Baier, Deputy Sheriff Frank Messer and Photographer E. M. Ball described the condition of the girl’s body and room immediately after the slaying. Examined by Solicitor Nettles, the coroner said Miss Clevenger died of gunshot wounds. He said powder burns radiated three-eighths of an inch from the wound. The coroner exhib- ited the bloodstained green-striped pajamas as spectators leaned forward. “How were they on her?” Nettles asked. “They were in order,” Baier said Examined by Solicitor Nettles, the sheriff said he questioned Moore in the court house. “What, if anything, you?” asked Nettles. Styles, of defense counsel, then leaped forward with objections and Judge Phillips excused the jury while arguments were heard. Styles, with the jury out, said the confession was forced, that leniency was offered and that the Negro was not legally under arrest. Voluntary, Says Sheriff. Sheriff Brown said from the stand the confession was made voluntarily did he tell and that no inducement was offered. | = “Didn’'t you tell me,” Solicitor Net- tles asked Moore, “that that confes- sion was freely made?” (He referred to a meeting in the solicitor's office the morning of August 9.) *“Yes, suh, but I was scared to open my mouth,” Moore replied. Martin asserted that L. D. Roddy, colored bell- hop, borrowed his pistol two days be- fore the New York University co-ed | ‘was slain. Dr. B. E. Morgan, offered by the de- fense, said he found discolorations on Moore’s left arm when he examined him in jail August 12, three days after the purported confession. He said those were three small marks on the arm and one small one on the left shoulder. C. V. Calahan, court house Jjanitor, also offered by the defense, said a rubber hose was missing Monday morning after Moore's arrest August 9. W. B. Orr, former Charlotte chief of pofice, who aided the investigation, said he stopped a fight between Roddy and Moore, while they were hand- cuffed together. Roddy is being held as a material witness. Orr said two New York detectives, Detectives Mar- tin and Quinn, were present. “Describe Quinn,” Styles said. “I guess he weighs about 200 pounds,” Orr replied. ‘The State then called the bell hop, Roddy, a slender yellow man with a small moustache. “Did you borrow a gun from Moore?” the solicitor asked. “No, sir,” Roddy answered. Roddy sald Moore told him in jail he killed Miss Clevenger accidentally. Pat Branch, 63-year-old manager of the Battery Park Hotel, in which Miss Clevenger was slain, yesterday described Moore’s character as “gen- erally good.” RIS (S, School Is Closed.

S. Business He Says at Hagerstown. By the Associated Press, HAGERSTOWN, Md., August 20.— Col. Frank Knox, delivering his third campaign address as Republican vice presidential candidate in a pelting shower, told an audience of merchants last night that “the business of this country cannot be run from Washing- ton.” Knox addressed business men of the United Retail Merchants’ Association composed of retailers from Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Vir- ginia, while rain drenched hundreds of his audience in the Hagerstown Fair Grounds. Before the rain broke, John R. Fisher, president of the “URMA,” es- timated the crowd at 60,000, Those in the covered grand stand laughed while others scurried for cover. Takes Refuge With Nice. Other estimates of the crowd ranged from 10,000 to 15,000. Knox, grinning as the rain soaked his white linen suit, took refuge under a tarpaulin with Gov. Harry W. Nice, Republican chief executive of Mary- land, and others on the open speak- er’s platform. ‘The rain began only 10 minutes be- fore Knox was slated to talk. Imme- diately the public address system was connected with a small judging stand to the right of the speaker’s platform and Knox opened his speech on sched- ule, hidden from sight of the south sections of the grand stand. Knox drew applause when he de- manded “fewer laws and better laws,” and when he denounced “regimenta- tion” and “cracking down.” His declaration that the Federal Government “cannot run business” also was saluted with whistles and ap- plause. After the first downpour, the rain continued to drizzle. A crowd police estimated at 1,500 stood in the rain as Knox spoke from the small judges’ stand on the race track. Pays Tribute to Ritchie. Knox paid tribute at the outset of his speech to a Democrat, the late Gov. Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland, as a ‘“great American,” and declared: “While he was my political opponent, in the fundamental issues now before the Nation he would be speaking the same ideas in the same language.” The reference to Ritchie was cheered loudly. Knox called for a Government of “simplicity, economy, and certainty,” asserting: “It is high time we abandon this foolish notion that Government can direct industry and control pro- duction and guarantee profits and in- town shortly before 6 o'clock last night —_— - Carefully by nol, expert n.n- e nieed.

Guaranteed NOT to Shrink ROOF REPAIRS | -~ THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, -1936.° All’s Well That Ends Well Ten minutes before Col. Frank Knoz, Republican candidate for Vice President, was to speak at Haaerstown, Md., a pelting shower sent many scurrying to shelter. The speaker’s rostrum had to be hastily changed, too. But the address went on as scheduled. Here are Col, Knozx (left) and Maryland’s Gov. Nice getting a laugh from the weather man’s joke. after a 240-mile automobile drive from ‘White Sulphur Spring, W. Va., where he had been at work on speeches for his later campaign tours. On the way he paused at moon to urn sightseer, inspecting one of the Virginia caverns. In an interview he spoke of Virginia as a “debatable State,” saying many Democrats had assured him, during his stay in West Virginia, that men of their party in both States would bolt the Democratic ranks in November. He stopped later near Willlamsport, Md.,, for a short vistt with Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Mish, jr. Mrs. Mish is the daughter of Leroy T. Vernon of Chi- cago, the candidate’s press secretary. Gov. Nice and William P. Lawson of Baltimore, chairman of the Maryland Republican State Central Committee, with other party leaders of the State, met Knox at this stop, and he was escorted to Hagerstown by Maryland State police. After criticizing some of the Roose- velt administration's activities, partic- ularly the now dead N. R. A. and some W. P. A. projects, Knox asserted that “free enterprise” was the “only sys- tem that will work.” He added: “We have been giving the other sys- tems a trial. We tried Government regimentation, and we shall be years recovering from the experiment. We tried cracking down on business, and it paralyzed investment. The lesson * * ¢ is that the business of this coun- —A. P. Photo. try cannot be run from Washington.” With both Democrats and Republi- cans in his audience, Knox said it would be poor taste to convert the occasion to partisan political purposes. He said he would talk about “some of the problems of * * * men who earn their livings.” It was the third major address of his 35-State campaign tour. “We cannot go back to those simple times when Thomas Jefferson ate his breakfast, got on his horse and rode to the White House to be inaugurated,” he said. “There seems to be some question whether even horse-and-buggy meth- ods can be retained. “But_we should not have the end- CONSTIPATED?

By the Assoclated Press. MEMPHIS, Tenn., August 20.—Col. Frank Knox's reference to the new Memphis' dog pound in a speech at Hagerstown last night aroused the ire of Acting Mayor Clifford Davis today. The Republican vice presidential nominee, referring to the pound erected with city W. P. A. funds, said “the American people ® * * have de- cided that the Nationdl Government does not have to build a dog pound in Memphis, Tenn, with marble baths.” “The Republicans have been fussing about this dog pound for six months.” Davis sald. “The dog pound has no showers of any kind, much less marble showers.
