B-4 BAKER‘CONFESSOR’ { ENTERS STATE PENj Harry Allard, Who Said He Killed Clerk, Leaves for Dannemora Prison. feecial Dispatch to The Star. SCHENECTADY, N. Y., December 12. —Maintaining his bravado. Harry Al lard, youthful gunman who recently | confessed and then denied he had mur- i dered Mary Baker in Washington, was j removed yesterday to the State Prison ; In Dannemora. Allard had employed every conceivable I subterfuge in an effort to evade incar- , ceration in the Dannemora prison, j known in underworld circles as “the j Siberia of America.” No other peniten- ; tiary in the country requires such rigid ; discipline of inmates. Faces 12-Year Term. Although arrested on countless occa- j aions, the 26-year-old desperado never j has received a long sentence before. ! He always managed, until recently, to ! draw comparatively short workhouse i sentences. He now faces, however, a 12-year term, 7 for possessing a loaded revolver in his cell in the Schenectady ] County Jail and 5 for the theft of an : automobile. When the pistol was found on Allard’s person, he told jail attaches he had planned to shoot his way to fre.dom. , He revealed the weapon had been smug- i gled to him by a girl during a visit to j the jail. j < Credence for a time was attached to j Allard’s voluntary admission that he ■ had killed the Washington girl. He , told a detailed story of the events lead- J, ing up to the slaying. He contended I : he had shot Miss Baker because she I insisted that he become her husband. | 1 Repudiated Confession. The loquacious prisoner repudiated < his confession, when confronted with samples of his handwriting by John Flaherty, chief 'of the Washington , homicide squad. Th? lettering obviously was the same as that in a communica tion sent to Washington police In which Allard was named at the slayer. He 1 admitted he had written the letter in an effort to avoid being sent to Danne mora. He also lacked knowledge of i certain known facts of the murder. When Allard finishes his Dannemora ! sentence he may be arrested on aI ( Georgia warrant charging him with j, slaying Frank Nagall in 1928. He has 1 confessed to that crime. VAST PARK SYSTEM PLAN OF J. S. SMITH ■ i; Head of Beach Preservation Body Propoiei National Utilization of Atlantic and Pacific Shores. i! Sr the Associated Press. A vast national park system along the ] Atlantic and Pacific shores was pro- j, posed today by J. Spencer Smith, pres- i, Ident of the American Shore and Beach Preservation Association. Speaking before members of the Asso ciation and engineers of the National, Research Counsel, he proposed that the | waterfront on both coasts, wherever possible, be placed under the supervi- ! aion of the National Park Service. Beach sites, Mr. Smith said, should be purchased by the States and turned over to the Federal Government for development for the benefit of the peo ple of all States. "Whereas the mountainous national parks were visited by 3,000,000 people in 1930, the beaches w r ere visited by over 100.000.000,” he said. “I fear the American public will presently no longer have the opportunity of enjoying the beaches, which are rapidly passing into : private and restricted hands. ’We are only too familiar with in stances where access to some of the 1 beaches is either prohibited or the con- : tiitions so repeliant as to make a visit! an ordeal.” ; \ The board of the association selected! , Norfolk. Va., for its 1931 convention, i A program for preventing beach ero- ! sion along the Virginia Shore was dis- 1 1 cussed. It was decided to urge Federal j • assistance in preventing further de- 1 struction. j, 10 REQUIREMENTS LISTED FOR IDEAL HUSBANDS Dr. Cornell Soys Girls Should Wed Men Who Will Let Her Audit ;, His Finances. j!
