SXLNVERS 10| DEFEND TWO B Tyl Saps” Have “Air Tight" Case Agint Them Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 39 UP—A cou- ple of college boys who were enjoy- ing their usual carefree week-end Saturday, were fighting for their lives from jail cells today, knowing full well the police held a confession ot two killings in a series of seven holdups that would have done credit to a first class desperado. The struggle was revealed not by thelr calm, serious, and even polite | acceptance of unusual surroundings, , but by an array of six lawyers re- tained by wealthy families to con- front what the police said was “an air tight murder case.” H George Harsh—"Junie” to his! fellow students at Oglethorpe uni- wversity here—was the author of the confession in the hands of police. The document was withheld but Chief of Detectives A. Lamar Poole, said it was clearly a case of killing for a thrill that money couldn’t buy. Won't Comment Richard Gray Gallogly was the other young fellow—but he refused to comment on his companion's story that he drove the automobile used in the holdups. The confes. sion said Harsh was the Killer, ‘Willard Smith, a druggist, and E. E. Meek, grocery clerk, were slain when they resisted two determined bandits. Both of the killings occur- red this month during a meries of daring crimes of similar nature which police had attributed to Roy Dickerson, nationally notorious bank | robber, who escaped from prison in Alabama, To pewspaper men, Wwho they greeted in their cells exactly as they would welcome guests in their luxurjous homes, the youths appar- ently recognized the serious aspect of their predicament. “I am deeply sorry,” Harsh told | a reporter in the privacy of a soli- | tary cell as a guard stood nearby. T | know that by my actions I have brought upon myself a great calami- ty, but I have no one to blame but myself. I know that a confession will not do any good to those whose homes have been darkened by our acts, but 1 have made a comiplete confession and I will stand by it, for better or for worse.” And this from Gallogly in anoth- er part of the jail: “I have not made a statement| and right now do not know if I ever will. But I do want to say and want ' it know that I'am not standing in| the way of police in the investiga- | tion of the case. I will not do any- thing to hurt their case and will do everything to help them that I can without doing anything to hurt my- selt.” Pleasing Countenance “June Harsh is a well turned out young man of medium height and ' o'clock. Only two weeks Smith boasted te a fellew employe that nobody was ever going te hold up his store “and get away with it.” F. P, KNIGHT DIES AT THE AGE OF % lwumumu P. & F.

Escape With Jewels After Druzeing Pair New York, Oct. 29 (M—Police to. | day were seeking & thief who enter. ed the apartment of Mme. Marie Rappold, operatic soprane, appar- ently drugged her and her daughter as they lay asleep and escaped with jewels valued at $75,000. A pearl necklace worth $25,000 was over- looked. The robhery was discovered by the daughter who awoke about 11 o'clock yesterday morning with a burning sensation fn her throat and her mouth unusually dry. She thought it was bad air in the apart- ment and had gone to raise the windows when she discovered the theft. Mme. Rappold complained of the same symptoms as her daugh- ter and said she believed the in- truder had sprayed her and her daughter with soporific drug before ransacking the jewel case. They had been out late the night hefore and had returned to their hotel apartment tired out and quick. ly went to sleep. The thief is be- lieved to have entered the room with a passkey. pleasing countenance, while “Dick” Gallogly is a tall youth of lowering brown and the aggressive swing of a football lineman. Both are in their late ‘teens and members of the so- cially prominent families. Gallogly, the son of Mrs. Worth E. Yankey, prominent Atlanta physician's wife, and Harsh scion of a Milwaukee family whose fortune was accumu- lated in the shoe industry. Mrs. J. 8. Disisway,sister of Harsh and wife of an Atlanta attorney, who visited her brother in jail, was griet stricken. “Whatever he 1-~ked to enjoy his youthtul pleasure. 1 would and have been giving him. If he needed money, he only had to come and ask for it and he would have received it To Aid Son James A. Gallogly, father of Dick, who was divorced from his wife several years ago, offered from his home in Miami, Fla., to do what he could for his son. Police first tralled the suspects last week-end when through a phye siclan they obtained information that Harsh had been treated at a hospital here for a bullet wound in the right hip. A cleaning establish. ment gave them clues to bloodstain- ed trousers in Harsh's home and his arrest on Oglethorpe Campus follow- ed immediately. Within two hotirs police had a full confession. Gal- logly was arrested at Athens, Ga., the same day, where he had gone to see a football game. The confession was supplemented today with a state- ment from J. D. Wright, resident manager of a national finance cor- poration, who said as a friend of the Harsh family in Milwaukee and here, he had received a confession from young Harsh and had aided the youth in obtaining hospital treatment for a wound inflicted dur- inf a holdup.
