(By Associated Press) NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 17.— “Jeff Davis,” the wonder bloodhound of Davidson county, wags his tail in justifiable pride at his achievement in tracking one of five men to his “home at Pulaski, Tenn., and causing the arrest of him and four alleged accomplices in the shooting to death of two Pulaski policemen yesterday morning. Jeff seems to understand in the pettings he has received from the of- ficers, that he has done a piece of good work. Without him and his keen nose, human avengers might have struggled in vain for a clue to the identity of the alleged s‘ayers. When Nashville authorities learn- ed at two o’clock yesterday morning that two policemen had been shot to death on a street in Pulaski, two deputies seized Jeff by the collar and bundied him speeding to the scene of the crime. Not until he had scented the ground did he appreciate fully what was asked of him. Then Jeff, way down inside of him, felt the primeval urge, the thing that makes blood- hounds famous. It we'led up strong and, inter- preted, meant “go ‘get him.” Jeff did. With his nose to the ground, he started off at a trot, and led the way down a little alley. As he scented, he moved faster and faster, showing a trait that is common only to good blooded hounds—that of never bark- ing and trotting almost on tiptoe. Down ‘one street, to the edge of the town, and then to a little creek, he led. At first the waters seemed to baffle him, for it seemed that the water had washed the scent away. But he crossed the stream, and very soon picked up the trail. He gather- ed speed across a little park and came to Blood; fe of it greeted The eyes™ of the officers foliowing Jeff. The blood went no farther. It was ap- parent to the authorities that here the wounded man, with others, en- tered an automobile. But Jeff was not puzzled. Away he went, follow- ing a definite trail. i Though Jeff’s destination was only, a half mile from the spot where the! pools of blood were found, the dog led’ officers over a three-mile trail, following’ the course taken by Manuel West, confessed member of_the gang and the first to be arrested. He came to a little frame cottage.' He stopped before the door, and the’ officers gathered around him. West's! wife came to the door and, when she’ - saw the officers, tried to close it. It} FOUR MISSING FROM (By Associated Press) NEW YORK, Feb. 17.—Four men “were missing after a collision today _ between a New York marine com- pany’s tug and the Fall River line ‘steamer New Hampshire in the East: River near the Brooklyn Bridge. Six others, three of whom were in a serious condition were taken to Beekman Street Hospital suffering from submersion and exposure. All of the crew of the tug boat. were thrown into the waters by the force of the collision. Nine men managed to cling to floating ice cakes until rescued by the New Hampshire and several tugs which rushed to the scene. A three hour search failed to locate the four re- maining men known to have been on ‘the tug. The tug sank immediately after the ¢rash, only the top of its smoke- stack remaining above the surface.

Feb. 17.—A general investigation into recent deaths, of convicts at Alabama mines operated by convict labor is being conducted by Attorney General Har- | well Davis, following the filing complaints. J. W. Taylor yesterday asked that an investigation be conducted into the death of his son “Pute,” who died at a convict camp after serving eight days of a ten year sentence. of Announcements by the attorney gen-j eral also indicated a grand jury in- vestigation will be asked into ‘the death of James Knox, West Vir- ginia, who died in a convict camp in August, 1924. He said efforts had been made to frustrate his inquiry into the case. Mr. Taylor; in his complaint filed with Sheriff Henry Cobb, of Col- bert County, charged that his son was beaten to death by two negro trusties, who had been ordered to punish him. Prison-records show- ed Taylor died of heart trouble, but Mr. Taylor said his son had been troubled with his heart. He requested an exhumation of the boy’s what caused his death. The Taydor case is similar fo that of Knox who reports said was scalded to death when he failed to} dig his share of coal. general has been death but has not given his report which he said would be voluminous.

With a plunge on oe of the bed » where West at that moment* was sleeping, Jeff Davis, the keen witted bloodhound, found his man. West did not move and Jeff lay quietly beside him, his big black eyes eager, intent. West, awakened, knew what it was” Under his pillow lay a .38 calibre pistol. On a dresser near the bed lay one of .45 calibre. But he made no attempt at any of them. He looked into the dog’s eyes, not a foot from his own. Then the officers entered the bed- room, took Jeff by the col‘ar and led him away. West was placed under about. arrest, and will be charged with com-} plicity in the murder of the two of-| ficers.
