Thriller'Novel Betrays Murderer Of English Vompn Author, Who Wrote Story While in Prison, Given .?/ Death Sentence. > V1 .LONDON.--In a "thriller" novel he wrote in prison while awaiting trial, the accused man, Reginald Buckfield, a royal artillery gunner, known to his comrades as "Smiler" Buckfield, betrayed his guilt by a complete reconstruction of the crime. That was the contention of the prosecution at the man's trial at the Old Bailey recently. The title Buckfield gave the "thriller" was "The Mystery of Brompton Road." The real victim of the slayer was Mrs. Ellen Ann Symes, who was stabbed while walking in Brompton Road, a lane not far from her home at Strood, Kent. r Child Gives Hint. ' -First hint that Mrs-. Symes had been murdered by a soldier was given by her three-year-old son, Robin, who told the police: "A soldier came up and said to Mummy, I am going to kill you." This led to a search By police and military throughout southeast England, and one of the first of 6*000 soli diers questioned was Buckfield, who had been arrested as an absentee the day following the murder. More than 2,(TOO civilians were also interrogated. Counsel for the defense argued thai it was absurd to assert because there were in the novel some facts and a great deal of fiction that the author was the murderer. Said one prosecutor: "Could any person other than the one who murdered the woman conceivably have compiled the docitment? If Buckfield were completely innocent, could he have perpetrated all the coincidences of detail you find in this story?" The jury did not think so and the soldier was sentenced to death. Grins Cynically. Buckfield lived up to his nickname throughout the trial, the newspapers said. Even when the judge was passing sentence "he grinned cynically around the court and laughed as he was escorted by warders to the cells." In his "novel," which was written on scraps of paper and on margins of pages torn from Punch, Buckfield wrote of the murder of a woman ^hose husband was a night worker --'Mrs. Symes' husband was on night work. He spoke of the woman's "baby"--Mrs. Symes was wheeling her son in his push-chair when murdered. Finally, the time of the mur-" der in the thriller was, as nearly as could be proved, the time of the murder of Mrs. Symes. The story concluded: "That, my dear friends, brings it to 'Girl Murdered by Person Unknown.' We hope the police will succeed in their duty to find the murderer, so as to clear myself, Gunner Buck$eld. This is a partly true story and partly fiction, showing you how easy i) is for an innocent man to be convicted of crime, and what could really happen." • Temptation for Boys Is Removed at Last , OGDEN, UTAH.--It isn't that he has no faith in boys but-- William C.

The Norwegians took no notice of them with the exception of one sweet old lady. She stood near the curb and nodded to them all as they marched by. "Why in the world are you standing there greeting all those scoundrels?" an irritated patriot finally asked her. • < "Surely," she replied^ "I may pay rny respects to my dear boys." f "But you Can't possibly know them all." ^ .

This event, unique in the annals of American hunting, is fast becoming an institution. The boars are descendants of genuine European wild tuskers which escaped from a private preserve many years ago, and which have multiplied and thrived. The hunt, or rather series of hunts, were open to both resident and non-resident sportsmen, supervised jointly by the department of conservation and the United States forest service. There were nine bear hunts, with ors from their country. TiJkai tyou Buy With WAR BONDS Wagsi 4 to 10 hunters in each party. Fees for each party ranged from $20 to $40, plus an additional $35 to $40 for dogs and guides. Hunters were Chosen by lot at Nashville, Man Goes an Rampage With Ax; Policemen Duck LAKEVIEW, N. Y.-Mrs. Anthony Mudano telephoned the police and begged them to hurry. Her husband, 55, had locked himself in the kitchen, pulled down and bolted the windows and turned on all the gas jets. A policeman ran up to a window and peeped in. He docked just in time as Mudano swung at his head with an ax and broke the window. Since he showed no disposition to be rescued, police went from window to window, Mudano broke every one* trying to hit the police with his ax. When all the windows were broken, the police tossed in some tear gas bombs and Mudano came out. Pays Bill He Didn't Owe With Francs From Algeria PORTLAND, ORE.--Warrant Officer Henry D. Ivey of Montgomery, Ala., trained at a nearby base and then was sent to Africa. That's where he got his final statement for a gas bill which he promptly paid by mail with 330 Algerian francs. George MacKenzie, assistant treasurer of the Portland Gas and Coke company, auctioned the French notes to employees for $10--which he mailed to Ivey. Ivey had paid the bill once and forgot it.

She would have been glad, she said in an unsigneU note to Mrs. Bearison, if only the handbag, not to mention the $8 it contained had been returned.

Flying Fortress Saved by 'Signs' RAF Pilot Waggles Wings, Leads Plane to Safety. 2u \ LONDON.--Nine American Flying Fortress crewmen are alive and *heir $250,000 plane will fly against Hitler "again because, in one split second, an alert British Spitfire pilot improvised an air sign language. Had it not been for Flight Lieut. A. J. Andrews. Royal Air force fighter pilot, the Flying Fortress would have crashed in the English channel and its crew might not have beers here now to tell their story. Lieut; James M. Stewart, 22 years old, a clergyman's son from Marrowbone, Ky;, was, piloting the Fortress in the big raid against Lille* France, when he was attacked by a swarm of German fighters. The Nazis knocked out two of the plane's four motors, smashed the radio apparatus, riddled the life raft, and drilled shell holes in the rudder. The Fortress finally shook them off, but it lost height rapidly over the channel until it had dropped to about 1,500 feet. The third motor be£an to cough. Stewart added: "I knew it was only a question of several hundred yards before I would have to make a crash landing. With p the hills in front of me, it looked like the best chance was to land in the channel. ' "I was picking out a soft spot in the water, which was very rough." At this critical moment, Lieutenant Andrews appeared and instantly sized up the situation. He could not communicate by radio, so he flew in front of the Fortress, waggled his wings violently, and headed directly for shore. "I knew he wanted me to follow him, so I took a chance," Stewart continued. The Spitfire sped straight over a low hill, he said, and "just as Andrews reached the crest of the hill he waggled his wings again and dropped his landing gear to show me there was a field below." The struggling bomber just cleared the hill and rolled onto a runway safely. Live Plane Cannon She| Taken From Briton's Leg BRIGHTON, ENGLAND.--Henry Coates of London is alive today, thanks to a surgeon who removed a live German Messerschmitt cannon shell from his thigh. Coates was wounded recently when a German plane bombed and machine-gunned the building in which he was working. Surgeons, knowing that shells of the type which penetrated Coates' leg frequently explode at the slightest touch, were faced with a rare dilemma. Finally they called in a bomb disposal squad, which suggested that with extreme care the shell might be removed. Disregarding the danger to himself, Dr. Donald Hall undertook to perform the operation and finished it without mishap. Notice of Vet's Death Fails to Worry Woman EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL.--When Mrs. Margaret Ruthledge received a letter from the veterans' aid administration containing information that her husband, Robert B. Ruthledge, was dead she didn't let it bother her. She knew that her husband, following the routine he had for many years, would be home for dinner as usual after hit daily duties as a salesman. The Washington bureau was notified that Ruthledge, a 69-year-old veteran of the Spanish-American war was very much alive. Handcuffs Used by Nazis May Be of British Make LONDON.--Handcuffs used by the Germans to manacle Dieppe prisoners may well have been made in •Birmingham. Before the war Germany ordered thousands of handcuffs from an old-established firm in that city. The Germans, however, also have large steel anklets joined by chains that give the wearer freedom to take a step of about one foot. In some cases another chain is used joining the anklets and handcuffs, thus preventing a prisoner from lifting his hands above face level.

Apparently, reacting to public sentiment about bickerings and arbitrary action by Federal agenoies, Congress stripped many bureaucrats of their discretionary powers by refusing to provide money for their operations. As a result of this action, many ' major war groups have been re-o/gan- 1 ized overnight and hundreds separated from Uncle Sam's payroll.

The Congress has made known its antagonism to food price subsidies despite needling from' the White House and trade unions. Department of Agrficulture prediction: "The trend of comomdity prices and living costs during the nex/t few months will continue to depend in large measure upon the effectiveness of governmental price controls, wage controls, and fiscal policies in creating a better balance between consumer purchasing power and available supplies of goods and services. There are at least 25 members of the House having membership on the powerful House Committee on Ways and Means who will scout around their home districts this summer seeking the reaction of their constitutents on many problems. These members have a double duty in that they must formulate a new tax program which will reach deeply into the pocketbooks of all citizWhs. The treasury is asking j for an additional twelve billion dollars ! in taxes. The Ways and Means Com- j mittee will begin hearings late in ' August, probably prior to the expira- I tion of the, recess, in order to make some progress before Congress itself reassembles. Considerable sentiment j has resulted for a sales tax on com- | modities as high as 10 per" c€nt per i transaction with no exceptions. It is calculated that this will yield six billions annually. Current suggestions j emanating from the Administration for a heavy tax on savings as an antiinflationary and revenue device have met with little encouragement on Capitol Hill. During the summer months advocates of various tax plans i will carry on their propaganda in j every section of the country in an ! effort to influence the lawmakers. !
