PAGE Six a CONFESSIONS CONFIRM SUSPICIONS OF LOCAL SHERIFF'S FORCE IN CONNECTION WITH THEFT OF AUTO Attaches of the office of Sher- iff K. O. Thompson are delighted .with a letter receiyed from the rrovost marshal. of San Antonio, | Texas, who placed Thomas H. Mc- Kinney, Jr., and James D. Brown, deserters from Key West bar- racks, under arrest. For the letter shows that the suspicions of the local sheriff's ‘orce as to the theft of the Buick Roadster from Pirates Cove Fish- ng Camp, have been verified by zonfessions of Brown and McKin- 1ey, given in San Antonio. The confessions of both Brown and McKinney are esesntially the same. There are some differ- ences in the dates of their move- ments, and their various peregri- nations from the time they left Key West until they landed in San Antonio, but the salient points of the confessions are the same. They stole the car of Fred J. Dion about 1:30 o’clock in the morning and started out over the highway. At Pirates Cove they were having trouble with the mo- we ii, left that car and preempt- This was the one part -of the story which was not given to the Pislie, Deputy’ Sherfif Bernard Waite feeling ‘that it/'was imput- ingea felony, 40 parties who may be innoeent.; As it proves now, the car ‘was stolen by McKinney ; and Brown, and the sheriff's force feels satisfied that their deduc- tions covered every phase of the ideparture of the men, except one incident, which remains to be cleared up. Miss Ann Jacobiti, with a com- panion, had stopped her car on the road the same night that Brown and McKinney left. 'Jacobiti left the car for a few minutes, and when she returned | to it her purse with approximate- " ly $40 was missing. The car in which Brown and ! McKinney were riding was chas- ed and overtaken by Miss Jacobiti and companion. She quizzed the others but received the reply that they had no knowledge of the| purse or money. That’ portion of the night’s events remains un- solved. The others, through the attleship gray roadster bold URE Hdilodger at the camp,,eftorts of the sheriff's office, have C. B. Miller. OF ABSENTEE VOTES, MADE SHOWN THAT ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY-EIGHT BAL- LOTS WERE CAST FOR PRI- MARY | | Final count of the number of absentee ballots, which were cast in the office of Judge Raymond R. Lord, showed a total of 128, Judge Lord said this morning. The balloting started on the morning of April 19 and continued until-midnight last night. At no! time was a deliberate attempt at perpetrating fraud discovered, ex-| cept Wednesday, when an inebri- ated voter came into the office and requested a ballot. Judge Lord saw at a glance signs of intoxication, and likewise recognized the proposed voter as one who had been in the office the day previous and had at that time cast an absentee vote. After being quizzed by the judge he acknowledged attempt at casting a fraudulent vote, but as he; had made no attempt at registering in a different precinct, the judge gave him a reprimand, and ordered him to leave the of- fice, an@’ the incident was closed.

PETER NILSEN SAYS STATEMENT MADE AT MA- RINEMEN MEETING THAT PILOT FEE IS CHARGED Captain Peter Nilsen, captain of the 150-foot palatial yacht El- freda, owned by H. R. H. Ripley. which brings charter parties to Key West several times each win- ter, calls the attention of The Citizen to the fact that West Palm Beach is carrying on the same sort of insidious, campaign against Key West that Miami once did greatly and still The claim was made at a mass meeting of marinemen in West Palm Beach that Key West charg- es pilot fees to each yacht enter- ing its harbor. Indignant at the misstatement, Captain Nilsen ros and told the gathering that Key this, West has never done and that the fact is that not even wharfage fees, which are collect- ed at every other port in the country, are charged here. Arriving in Key West, Captain to Nilsen immediately ‘(repaired the Chamber of Commerce, where Secretary Steve Single‘ Charles Taylor prepared on and a state- ment denying the unfair charges.

Had no promises to make, but promised to do all pos- sible look after the interests of the county, and prove an ef- ficient commissioner. Rev. Gekeler Next Then was introduced Rev. J. C. Gekeler, who spoke in the inter- ests of the candidacy of Melvin E. Russell, who was unable to ap- pe While the speaker omitted references to the political angle, he paid a glowing tribute to the personality of Mr. Russell, his ability as an educator, and his ef- forts in behalf of the children. The speaker recalled the pleas- to Miss ® with Mr. Russell, as an individual | and also as a member and offi- cials of organizations, and painted sive word picture of , is activities as president of the | Key West Rotary Club. No bet- ter expression of the appreciation of the ability of a friend, his sin-! cerity of purpose and desire to accomplish good for the students of today, who will be the leaders of tomorrow, than Rev. Gekeler’s summary of the character, ability and earnestness of purpose of Mr Russell has ever been heard. Worley: Then Heard Following Rev. Gekeler, G. A Wor! candidate for state at- torney : the 11th Judicial Dis- trict, was introduced. Mr. Worley voiced his appreciation of the at- accorded the speakers, and devoted a brief space of time to his accomplishments since en- tering the political field, casually mentioning the fact that as his assistants in the office he had with him in Miami, Joseph Otto, formerly of Key West, and in this J. Lancelot Lester. Able and con: sntious attorneys, who had proven. themselves to be worthy of the greatest trust. Mr. Worley gave a resume his reer, his successful admin- istration of the office to which he aspires to, by ection, and as- sured the voters of Key West their support next Tuesday would be deeply appreciated. Judge Ward Takes Stand David Elmer Ward was next speaker. Judge Ward county judge of Lee county, and of the is also holds other offices through | election by the people. He is now seeking election to the office of state senator from the 24th-sena- torial district, and his address was devoted to matters pertain- ing to the work in connection with that office. The speaker gave a brief his- tory of his life, his struggles to attain the position in the legal world which he now holds, and stated that for many years the senator from the district had al- ways been from Monroe county. Mr. Ward gave a sincere and en- tertaining talk on his campaign and was heard with the greatest attention Filer Gives Talk Next to address the audience was Henry H. Filer, who spoke but briefly and to the point, on his candidacy for the office of representative in congress from the 4th congressional district. He called to the attention of he: the fact that he was a nati of Key West, and ever held n his heart the interest of his home city There are a number of things which Key West needs, among them being opening of the naval s of troops at the completion of the intra- ater’ from Bahia Honda to Key West, continuation f the bri 's over the structures of the railroad from Big Pine Key to the boulevard, and an adequate supply of fresh water.

Although claiming not to be a speaker, his talk. held the atten-' tion of the audience until the last word was spoken. The speaker gave a brief sketch outlining the | major items in his life in Key West from birth to the present, a record of which any Key West- er should be proud’ and believed that he could accomplish a great deal for the people of the city if sent as representative, and asked the consideration of the voters. Caro Gives Talk Next to be presented was At- torney T. S. Caro, another of the candidates for the Florida Legis- | lature, who occupied more than half hour in outlining his plans in the event of his election, and a summary of the assistance, with- out remuneration, he had been to’ both the fishing and sponging in- dustries of Monroe county. He recounted some of the things which had been done in the past by representatives, which were probably well meant’ when passed, but which; provetl to be disastrous when, they. were! | brought in to existence. These measures, which werg no doubt! ' passed. under a misapprehensidii !on part of the proposers, he would do his best to correct, and be- lieved he could bring about oth- er changes which would be of great benefit to the county. Papy Then Heard Bernie C. Papy was then heard. Mr. Papy is asking for re-election, and to furnish grounds which’ warrants his asking the voters to end him back for another term, gave an excellent resume of his activities and offered a number of statements in rebuttal of state- ments which have described his actions as being futile, along the lines of betterment for his consti- tuents. The speaker took a_ criticism which was recently published, in The Citizen captioned “Political Periscope”, and item by item read the full text of the critical ap- praisal of his activities and read- ily answered the charges giving full explanation of which had been made. \ Curry Last Speaker The last speaker was T. Jenk- ins Curry, who is a candidate for commissioner from the Fifth Dis- trict. In his previous talk Mr. Curry stated that the residents of the Key section of the county had selected him to represent them, and he was the first resident of the Keys who had been selected as a candidate. Last night he reiterated this statement, and briefly outlined a history of his life. His setbacks and accomplishments, as a citizen of Monroe county, were told in a straight-forward manner which was interesting in the extreme, and was heard with the greatest attention. Mr. Curry spoke hur- riedly, because of the late hour at which he started, and stated that there was a great deal more that he could say, but out of consid- eration of the public he would bring his remarks to a close and again asked remembrance at the polls on Tuesday, During the evening Mr. Trévor announced that due to the death of E. E. Larkin, who was rélated to L. E, Harris, the candidate for judge of the criminal court 6f rec; ord, he would not deliver an ad- dress, and that the incumbent, Judge Wm. V. Albury, who is a candidate for re-election, because of the non-appearance of his op ponent, had also declined to de- liver an address. ‘archestra THE KEY WEST CITIZEN BASEBALL TWIN BILL TOMORROW Teams of the Monroe County Baseball League will play a twin bill tomorrow afternoon at Navy Field.

First, the writer of the Political Periscope article, who didht-have the backbone to sign hi§ name 'to it, and is, therefore, a coward, doesn’t know what eVerybody else knows that it requires! only a majority vote in committee to bring a bill out in the house or in the senate, and not a unan- imous vote, as he said. This par- ticular bill, which was favored by the conservation department and had to do with fisheries, 1 voted against in committe, and, when it came out in the house, I took the floor and fought against it. The records will show that this is true. Buf I was outvoted in committee and I was outvoted in the house, and yet the Political Periscope writer gave the impression that, | though I did vote against the bill’ in the house, “it was too late then for his opposition to be effec- tive”. But how about when I also voted against it in commit- tee? He tried to make you be- lieve that, to ‘get the bill out of committee, 5 jmous consent was needed, whereas only a ma- jority vote was meeded. In other words, either id not know | parliamentary rf or he delib- erately lied. And so he lied about the Over- seas Road and Toll Bridge Com- mission bill, which was introduc- ed in the senate by former Sena- tor Gomez, and was passed in the house without the change of a single word; and so he lied about the Zoning Bill; and so he lied about the Water Bill, which was approved by Chester B. Treadway, who,’ with Hill, rep- resents the county in Washing- ton at a salary of $5,000 year; and so he lied about the Tax Bill, which was passed in the house on April 27, 1937, and gives tax © emption in Monroe county to de- linquent taxes prior to 1920; and so he lied about the Florida East Coast Railway in the taxes they had caticelled. es this: connection, Gacnunaaed iaaaecankanee core de sighs, Maniow—Rits Bros. a All Star cast » Also: Comedy — News let me diese OLDWYN FOLLIES Doceevcevccccscccccecces | FOR REPRESENTATIVE BERNIE, C.
