Clark of 81 Wells avenue, Jamaica, N. Y., turret cap- tain of the dreadnaught Arizona, was in command of the armed guard on the American oil steamship Silver Shell, which sank a German subma- rine. He may be promoted, Secretary Danlels said. Clark and his crew sank the sub- marine after a running fight in which more than sixty shots were fired. “I only wish ‘I could go and fight by Will's side,” sald Mrs, Clark when told of her husband's feat. “Both of us come of fighting stock, and I guess they can’t say we are not doing our bit for our country. “Will has been in the navy since he was seventeen, and he is thirty now. Two of my brothers, Charles and John True, joined the navy two months ago. Walter, Will’s brother, is in the United States marine corps, and Frank, another brother, is a member of the Massachusetts Na- tional Guard. My father was in the navy twelve vears, “When WIill comes home we'll try to get up a family reunion and have afll our soldiers and sailors who are not on duty My husband's term of enlistment expires next November, but do you suppose he would retire now? Well I guess not! And if he tried it I wouldn’t let him.” 3 the Young People’s society submits the following list of topicss@nd leaders for the month of June: June 10—Vacation reading.

J.. Piersol confessing a part in. the crime. He and- his five fellow prisoners were taken from the custody of Sher- iff Will Webb at Stockton, 40 miles northwest of here, yesterday, by . 45 Springfield citizens, who had for more: than 20 hours raced in autoinobiles to overtake the sheriff, while the lat- ter was speeding his prisoners to safety in the State prison at Jeffer- son City, Suhg When the mob reached- Stockton the sheriff sternly pleaded with the crowd that justice be allowed to take ; its course, but the ‘leaders insisfed -upon sefzing Piersol,' from whom they believed ‘they might extort' a confes- sion. With a rope around his neck, ac- cording to reports reaching the sher- iff's office here, Piersol was led to a tree and an opportunity was given to him to confess. Stoutly denying hia guilt the prisoner was swung up from the ground and hanged until he’ was black in the face. .Then :his captors lowered him and offered him - one more chance for life. Piersol insist- ed not only upon his innocence but that of the four men and one woman who also were prisoners. The crow:d pulled the rope again, declaring that he would be put to death anyhow and Piersol remained silent. Sheriff Webb again- pleaded with the mob and the swinging man was released. The mob leaders said they did not want to kill an innocent man, but that they did not intend to let Piersol go until they were satisfied and had a reasonable doubt of his guilt. Piersol was handed back into the sheriff’s custody and the moh then scattered. 4 It is believed that Sheriff Webb has placed four of hie prisoners, includ- Ing Mrs. Taylor Adams, the woman member of the alleged band, in jail at Stockton. The two other. prison- ers, Plersol and Taylor Adams, the woman’s husband, it is also believed, are on the road northward -under guard of the sheriff toward a 1ailread line that would provide transporta- tion to Jefferson City. N Prosecutor Denles Hanging Story. Paul O’Day, county prosecutor ot: Green county after returning Springfield from Stockton said there . was no truth to the statements that ropes had been used or that any one was hanged to a tree by the mob. However, residents of Humansville, eighten miles east of Stockton, and at Nevada, west of the little town, con- firmed the reports that reached the sheriff’s office. i Sheriff Webb returned to Springfield last night and gave out. a statement confirming earlier reports that mem- bers of the mob had overtdken him at Stockton and had threatened one of the prisoners with death. He said that four of prisoners were in jail at Stockton, while the two others were being taken northward in a motor car by a deputy sheriff of Greene county and the sheriff of Cedar coun- ty. The story of the events at Stockton as related by Webb were that “prom- | inent young men of Springfleld,” un-; masked, had met him at Stockton | and demanded that they be -allowed to talk to the prisoners. They gave their “word of honor’’ that no harm would come to the prisoners unless they confessed to the death of little Lloyd. Adams and Plersol then were turned over to them. Adams was taken to the Lodge hall at Stockton and severely questioned, but refused to confess, the sheriff said. Piersol then was escorted to the edge of town, a rope placed around his neck and one end of it thrown over a tree. ‘“Plersol thought his last day had come,” Webb said, “and was facing death. But he maintained . ..

Authorities said that additional rev- elations would be made then and that undoubtedly a recommendation wojjid be made for the arrest of sev- eral persons. g County and federal authorities have given ‘no indication of intending t6 alter the warrants under which the six -prisoners were being held.
