SUSPECTED PROWLER
{Continued from Pago One)
‘‘Listen Mac, if I ever catch you
around here again, I’ll kill you.”
By that time Mrs. Frederick
(Ski) Skewis, and a houseguest
appeared at a bedroom window
upstairs over the Weymouth apart
ment and called down asking if
she should call the police. Both
Kerrick and I shouted “Yes.”
By that time, my dog had en
tered the passageway and was
crouched barking furiously be
hind the pair. I though the man
might make a break for it so I
looked down Charles toward Du
val for help and spotted two men
in white uniforms just at the
corner. I shouted “Shore Patrol"

twice, waved them to come ~ on.
They did at a dead run. Right
behind them was William Bethel
of the police force.
At the same time. Jim Cobb,
Citizen reporter, dashed out of his
apartment just across the hall and
ran into the passageway. He and
Kerrick dragged the prowler out
into the street. He didn’t fight
back. I could see he was tall and
somewhat lanky, wore a white
shirt, tan or light brown trousers
and had blonde hair.
Two police cars arrived within
seconds of each other. They snap
ped handcuffs on the captured
man and he was taken to the
city jail.
By that time, Mrs. Skewis had
come to the scene and a big
crowd had gathered. Police Of
ficer Bethel took witnesses into
my apartment to question us on
what had happened. Kerrick told
him that when he first went af
ter the man he saw him stooping
down peering into the aecond
wind -./ from the front. Then,
said Kerrick, the man moved on
down to the kitchen window and
just as he stooped down to look
in, Kerrick grabbed him and
spun him around.
Kerrick said, “The guy told
me he didn't mean anything,
that he was Just going home,
and I said. Don't give ma any
of that stuff. I saw you look
into on# window and then
movo on to tha next one before
I grabbed you'."
The policeman said he had
seen the same man on four other
nights walking around in the
same area and had been keeping
an eye on him.
It was learned today that Tur
ner was badly injured during his
service as a Marine when he was
beaten by four men, one a sailor.
The fight, which happened dur
ing the late years of the war, re
sulted in hospitalization for Tur
ner for over a year. He sustained
a fractured skull, broken jaw and
other injuries at that time. His
original home is Birmingham,
Ala.
His employer said that he had
a good record and that the only
time he got into trouble was
when he drank “because his in
juries left him in a condition
which resulted in inability ‘to
hold his liquor’,” Turner told
Finch, Citizen staff photographer.
Turner said he had had three
drinks at a Duval street bar and
that after that he didn’t remem
ber anything.
Police said he did not appear
to be drunk when arrested.
Chief Joseph Kemp had him
photographed and his fingerprints
taken this morning. The case will
be on the docket at Municipal
CourtJthis afternoon at 3 o’clock.
EARLY AMMUNITION
(Continued from Page One)
Korea, said reports of shortages
sent in by Gen. James A. Van
Fleet as Eighth Army commander
never reached him.
Pace also contradicted testimony
yesterday by former Defense Sec
retary Robert A. Lovett that Lovett
snatched ammunition production
away from the Army last Novem
ber and turned control of it over
to a civilian expediter.
Pace said Lovett assigned a
civilian assistant to work with him
but that control did not pass from
the Army.
Lovett told the subcommittee
yesterday that he “lost patience”
with the Army’s handling of an
ammunition shortage and gave con
trol of the problem to a civilian
assistant.
Pace challenged this statement
by saying: “The secretary did not
at any time take the ammunition
problem out of the hands of the
Army.”
Lovett told the senators there
was an ammunition shortage and
assigned the blame to “the Army
as a whole.” He gave them a
story of long, red tape delays.
DOUBLE JET ACE

Shihtoucheng near the border.
Pilots are forbidden to fly over
Manchuria, but the Communists
frequently accuse Allied fliers of
violating the border.
COUNTY CLERK

cate has not surrendered it to
Adams, he inserts in the letter:
“The holder is now entitled to
surrender the tax certificate.”
Adams urged all property own
ers to give their correct address
to the Tax Collector at the Court
house, so that they will not lose
their property by such a simple
factor aji neglecting to pay taxes
because they haven’t received a
bill.
Other landowners who became
owners after the tax roll was
made up, November 1, should in
sure that they are bing billed, and
not the person from whom they
bought the property.
LEGISLATURE PASSES
(Continued from Page One)
consideration of any racing bills
after the 40th day of the session
except those levying racing taxes.
Bitter squabbles between race
tracks over legislation have tied
up and occupied legislators dur
ing closing hours almost every
session in recent years.
New bills ppujred into the House.
The Senate discussed rules under
which it will operate this session.
One brand new rule permits a
representative of the governor’s
office to come onto the Senate
floor. Such a rule never has been
in effect before although the gov
ernor himself long has been given
the privilege.
Among the new House measures
was one requiring children of
non-residents of Florida to pay
tuition if they attended , public
schools in the state. Similar bills
have come up before but did not
get too far.
