Jail
OREENVILLE April 13 iJP>—
Ninety-nine years In state prison
was assessed Clinton Palmer Sat
urday for a Texas slaying as the
middle-aged sheep herder, admit-1
ted slayer of two Utah ranchers. |
shouted his Innocence.
A district court Jury which had
deliberated overnight convicted him
of killing Dillard Garrett, whose'
•keleton was found In s Hopkins
countv ravine last December by a
boy rabbit hunter.
“An Innocent man gets 99 years
tn the penitentiary and they know
as well a* I do that Tm not guilty."
Palmer shouted as deputies led him
from the courtroom
It was his second outbreak dur- I
lng the trial He interrupted argu
ments of State Prosecutor Henry
Pharr to cry:
"Before God. my conscience Is
dear
Arrested at Sulphur Springs. Tex
as. early In March, Palmer readilv
admitted he killed Wi liam E. Oli
ver. 70. and Norris Shumway. 24
Oliver's grandson, during an argu- 1
merit over range rights, In Utah, re
cently.
Prosecutor Pharr said 8heriff W
C. Reneau of Sulphur Springs had
telegraphed Lawrence M Palmer
at Blanding. Utah, the result of the
trial here and was awaiting word
/ from Utah authorities.
Pharr said Palmer would be sur- j
rendered to Utah authorities for
trial for the two killings only on the 1
condition that he be returned to
Texas for punishment If the pen- .
alty assessed Is less than death.
Texas laws allow such pocedure.
Pharr said.
District Attorney Fred W. Keller
of 8an Juan county, Utah, said an
effort would be made to have Pal
mer extradited from Texas.
One of the chief state witnesses
In the Utah trials. If held, would
be Lucille Garrett, 14-year-old
daughter of the slain Garrett, who
was with Palmer at the time of his
arrest In Texas.
The girl had lived with Palmer in
Utah since the disappearance of her
father near Sulphur Springs early
In 1934. Palmer told Texas officers
she was his w-lfe but the girl denied
It. 8he told Texas officers she had
witnessed the slaying of Oliver in
Utah and gave a vivid picture of
the flight to Texas as posses scur
ried after them In southeastern
Utah and northern Arizona.
Luclle was an ace witness against
Palmer here, adding many links tc
the state's chain of circumstantial
evidence testimony which convicted
the former Oklahoman.

7.000 CHINESE
‘REDS’ KILLED
NANKING. China. April 13.—
—Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Chek
sira hcd a^ain at communists rav
aging Kewichow province, killing
7.000 of them in four days of heavy
fighting, report* reaching the na
tional government Saturday night
said.
The battle, fought about Kewl
yang. was described Saturday as
the bloodiest since the Chinese
military dictator opened his long,
arduous campaign against the reds.
Kai-Shek perijonally led his armies
into battle, it wa. reported.
Details were meager. It was as
sumed the generalissimo, who de
layed his scheduled return to Nan
king in hi* desire to clean up the
communist, in Kweichow, struck at
the bond that occupied and looted
Shifteng four days ago
After the Shifteng raid the red
hordes threatened Kweiyang itself
and occupied Pingyueh and Wen
gan. nearby, before turning south
ward.
A vigorous counter-offensive was
launched after the communist* ap
peared before Keweiyang, and it
was assumed the pitched battle of
the last four days was the climax
of that operation.
National government armies re
cently were reoorted in another
drive against the reds in Hunan
province, this being launched from
Changteh. A casualty list of 1,500
dead and 3.000 wounded was re
ported as a result of fighting in
northwest Hunan.
Brain ‘Writes'
Thoughts Upon
Paper In Test
DETROIT. Mleh„ April IS.—<*N—
Thought was transferred silently
and directly from the human brain
to paper by electricity here Satur
day
The substance of these thoughts
could not be reRd on the paner
But they recorded their passage
through the brain with startling
distinctness.
With a similar hook-up also the
muscles of the human body tele
graphed an electric record of their
fnt'g’-e and wrote It on paner.
Both experiments were shown by
Harvard scientists to the Federa-;
tlon of Ame-'can Societies for Ex-,
oerimental Biclovy. In both cases
the body supplied all the electrical I
current, energies of a few millionths
of a volt which naturally flow un
lntarruptedlv throughout life.
Fine needles were thrust Into the
flesh paln’essly with aid of anes
thetics Wires attached to the
needles carried the body’s electric
al messages
For thought recording one needle
was In the scalo. the other In the
’-'art of the ear used for earrings
The brain messages were amplified
enough to move a pen.
The exreriment began with a mar
sitting still, his mind and body both
rt rest The needle traced a wary
line, with about nine wave# a sec
ond.
"Close your eyes." he was told.
As he did so tnstantlv the waves
became larger, and a trifle slower
Their rhythm showed even a more
restful bra'n with eyes shut than
open, probably because the eyes
were no longer busy seeing objects
In the room.
“Now multiply in your head 21
by 32" he was commanded.
Almost instantly the waves ceas
ed. In their place the Ink line be
came smooth, as if pressure were’
pieced on It.
In a n’C’"*nt the man spoke the
answer. ’*672 "
As he did so. the waves came
bark to the tit trie current produ
ced by his bram.
Then a surprise. The waves stop
ped abruptly—the smooth line came
back. Th®n the man said:
"Yes—672—that's right."
He had been checking his result
The needle recorded this check
: thought before he could speak it.
As he finished the check, the
waves came back.
"Now.” he was told, "spell alpha
ammo-beta-hydmxybutyrlc acid.”
This is a new word coined by
chemists at this meeting for a life
giving isolated from food proteins.
As the man under the wires spell
ed the word The needle again drew
a smooth line

and have not even turned a hand

will have a nod but a gayly naughty
wink for the goddess of fortune.
The Union Sulphur company had
to spend nearly half a million dol
lars Including an extensive seismo
graph survey before they found
Tteen gold liquid wealth flowing
through a quarter inch choke last
Monday night. The American Rio
Orande Land and Irrigation com
pany. on whose land the discovery
well Is situated, however, was In
quite a different position as was the
Southland Life — the second larg
est fee holder in the survey.
When the late and not lamented
depression started to slink away
not so manv months ago. both the
Southland Life Insurance company
and the American company found
themselves possessed of considerable
acreage they didn't exactly care
about having in the VnVny. The
American company had that feel
ing because it had spent, conslder
j able time and effort selling those
' lands and. In addition, had thous
ands of other acres that they could
| sell provided buyers were found,
i The Southland Life Insurance com
pany felt that way because every
life Insurance company In America
was in the same position of even
having to operate farm property be
cause those who had secured mort
gages from them could not pay
them out
Then — however — the picture
began to be different because be
fore the Union SulDhur company
even started operations on Its first
well they leaded more than 10 000
acres from these two companies
In adlition half a dozen other ma
' Jor companies decided that they
wanted some of the play just In
case. The lease moneys, of course,
did not repay the companies for
, their lands, but the unexpected
source of revenue helped consider
ably- There was the first well
lost because of a drill stem which
stuck. The second well also made
it appear es though Ladv Luck was
looking out of the window because
of a lost tool which could not be
fished out. But the third, as is now
known did what drillers call “lay
ing the oil on the ground” and the
American company and the South
land Life suddenly found themselves
In a position to be p’-obable owners
of lands worth millions If. as
there is every reason to believe, the
' field is everything Union Sulohur
comoany officials have absolute
confidence in It being, the South
land Life Insurance company is
likely to have more money in Its
coffers than any company of sim
ilar size In America.
There are. of course, many other
hanpy sides to the case as well as
some not so gladdening. One of
the most prominent public officials
In America whose name is in the
newspapers every day. for instance,
•vobeblv has indigo blues today.
About three years ago he became
disinterested in hi* piece of land
which lies almost directly across
the road from the discovery well
and allowed it to return to Its for- '
rr.er owners. As a matter of fact
the land on which the well itself Is
situated has had four owners in 10
years. All excent the one who Is
dead and the American company
are not feeling so well today.
Four life Insurance companies
own some land in the survey likely
to be included In the field. One
owner hrd forgotten that he owned
the land and wasn't reminded of
It because a squatter tenant learn
ed about the situation, farmed the
land, took all the crops and paid the
taxes Burton McCollum, who
made the survey and Insisted all of
the time that he was absolutely cer
tain there was an oil field even
nhen others wouldn’t believe him at
all. of course, Is one of the happiest
and a Latin American who took It
on the chin because of Lady Luck’s
apparent disapproval of him In the
matter of successful fanning and
"ave up his scrubby land mi^ht be a
prospective millionaire had he held
on
When all Is said and done, it win
be the Union SulDhur company, the
American Rio Grande Land and
Irrigation company, and the South
land Life Insurance companv that
can rea’ly laugh out loud because
to all intents and purposes they had
some pigs In a poke that turned out
to be Juicy bacon.

The proopsed bill would create

"The current resistance to the

an attack cn the entire program The

"My own felling Is that the very

"Far the sake of temporary gain,
