the indictment. The six others were
speeded into the city during the night
under heavy guard.

nection with the case; from the Al
bany County Jail. Frank Fischer. 53;
Thomas Burke. 29. and Harold (Rod)
Crowley, 35; from nearby Chenango
County Jail at Norwich, Percy (Angel
Face) Geary, 34, and from Massachu
setts State Prison, George Car

brought East last month from Alca

they were serving terms for their part
in a $129,000 Fall River, Mass., mail

Two others indicted for the kidnap
ing. Fraxicis Leo Oley and Christopher
Miller, have since committed suicide in
their jail cells.

president of Morris Harvey alumni,
said in Introducing the visitor:
"I prophesy that in 1940, when the
eyes of the Nation look for a new
leader, they will be looking toward
Glenn Frank.”
Hallanan spoke of Frank as one of
the Nation's progressive thinkers, but
one who opposed a socialized State.
"I believe he will be definitely in
the picture when the time comes for
discussion of leadership of the party
which upholds the principles he does,"
said Hallanan.
Frank, in speaking to the club and
its guests, asserted:
"I am one of those who believe you
cannot subject individuals and make
the state great, for the benefit of all.
More Planning Needed.
"We need more social, more indi
vidual and more political planning
than ever before, and that planning is
not possible with the sweeping de
struction of everything by the name of
self-government. * * •
