OFFENDERS GET
>SWIFT JUSTICE
Petty Theft Draws Six
Months* Sentence In
Two Minutes
Justice, swift and sure, as in the
old days, descended on two offend
ers in Judge J. I. Kleiber's county
court-at-law Wednesday morning,
"Whaf sentence do you recom
mend?" the Judge asked Bascom
| Cox. assistant county attorney.
1 "Your honor, I see no reason why
Cameron county should be lenient
in petty thievery cases. I recom
mend three months.**
"I feel the same way about it.**
said the Judge. "Why did you take
that watch?” This to Robert Wil
son, negro defendant.
"Well, suh. It was just layin’ there
In the car. and I thought It vas
lost ” said Robert, meekly.
"Well, you had another think
coming.” the court replied. "I*ve a
mind to double the recommendation
of Mr. Cox. What do you think
about it. Mr Cox?”
It suited the proeerutor. and the
i case was closed in less than two
1 minutes as the sentence was dec
reed. “six months in the county
Jail.”
i Gets 30 Days
Neither was the court disposed
toward leniency in an aggrevate as
sault case. Cox said he had studied
the case throughly and recom
mended that Rafael Ruiz be as
sessed $50 fine end costs or 30
toys
udge Kleiber believed the latter
more impressive and turned him
over to the sheriff.
No more cases were tried and the
Jurv for the term was dismissed.
H. Calderon, charged with aggra
avted assault and scheduled to go
tir trial, was hauled out with the
lin gang early in the morning
but his case was to come up Wed
nesday afternoon.
Bond in the sum of $250 in the
case of Frederico Zamorano. charged
with receiving stolen property, was
forfeited when the defendant failed
to appear in answer to the charge
The same was true In the case of
Daniel Affolter. who had appealed
his case from the Rio Hondo cor
poration court. He was charged
with disturbing the peace.

PRISON BREAK
Convicts Shot Attempting
Escape From Kansas
State Institution
LANSING. Kans., Aug. 7.—(A*)—A
daring break for liberty at the state
penitentiary here 1st© yesterday
cost two long term prisoners their
lives and sent a third to the prison
hospital with a fractured skull. One
guard was wounded.
The dead were William Webb. 39.
and Robert Collins, 30. J. B. Knight
received a fractured skull in a hand
to-hand encounter with R. H. Huds
rrfh. deputy warden. W. L. Hes
lop. the guard, was shot in the left
leg in an exchange of shots with
the convicts.
Three other prisoners who made
the break for freedom were cap
tured two hours later in the Lan
sing stockyards less than half a
mile from the prison.
The break occurred at 4 p. m .
when the men were brought out of
the prison coal mine. The first of
approximately 400 convicts to reach
the surface, they produced pistols
that presumably had been smug
gled in to them and captured four
other prisoners whom they used as
a shield against bullets to gain n
gate in the prison wall. The con
victs forced the gate and emerged
in the open to be met with a fusi
lade of shots from a sentry on the
outside guard line.
Using the guards and prisoners
as a shield they passed the sentry
and after gaining the shelter of a
small ravine a quarter of a mile
frem the prison, released their pris
oners. Meantime an alarm had
been sounded at the prison and
Deputy Warden Hudspeth and A
..istant Day Captain Arthur Gra
ham organized the prison guards
for pursuit.

Lansing merchants armed with
shotguns came upon the convict

American Legion Memorial
In Paris Also Includes
‘Herrick Hair
PARIS. Aug. 7.—UP)—The Ameri

Paris was dedicated as "Pershing
Hall” today by National Command
er Paul V. McNutt of the Ameri
can Legion and the colors he
brought with him were formally
taken into the building. One of the
large rooms was named "Herrick
Hall” in honor of the late Ameri
can ambassador to France
General John J. Pershing and
Paul Palnleve, who was minister of
war then as now. recalled the days
of the World war. while M. Pair.
leve told how he had read In every'
school in France a letter which
General Pershing wrote Marshal
Foch in the dark days of March,
1918. asking that all American
trops, trained or not. be thrown into
the battle in that critical hour.
General Pershing, thanking the
Legion for the honor of dedicating
the building to him, said:
"If the Legion may be regarded
as the powerhouse of Franco-Amer
ican friendship, this building will
be a most important sub-station.”
The building, which cost $450,
000, is now half paid for. It has
as its cornerstone the keystone
from the arch of a bridge at Chat

Legion Withdraw#
Contest Nominee
The American Legion post will
not submit a nominee in the 'most
distinguished citizen contest” now
being conducted by the organiza
tion here, according to an an
nouncement by W. R. Klekel, post
commander. Wednesday. In line
with this decision, it has been
deemed advisable to withdraw the
name of W. O. Washington, prev
iously announced as the legion's!
selection for this distinction.
This step is taken, Mr. Kiekel de
clared, because Mr. Washington is
a member of the legion, but more
especially because the final selec
tion of the most distinguished citi
zen is to be decided by the vote
of the legionnaires, it is felt that
in fairness the legion should not
nominate a candidate.
Nominations are being received
from the service clubs, churches
I and other civic organizations. As
j the final selection of names must
be made before Aug. 16. legion offi
cials hope that all organizations will
