OF AUTO-DA-FE

P.) The fastness ot the Texas
swamp today held the secret ol
what may have been o modern
auto-da-fe with a young white
woman as the victim, while armed
men combed Ha recesses (or a clue
to explain the finding of the
charred body on a pine log pyre.
Identification of the body,
found Saturday night by a negro
who t eared to notify the parish
authorities lent he be implicated,
was practically impossible. H
had been divested of clothing and
was so badly burned that the
coroner could not say whether it
had been cremated before or after
the woman a death.
Unmarked feminine apparel of
food quality, found In a suit carte
ear the pyre, and a white gold
ring on the finger of the corpse
were the threads by which Identi
fication was hoped to be made.
A bucket which apparently had
contained gasoline Indicated that
very effort had been made to
make cremation complete.

tally Unsound.
Washington, Oct. 1.3 (AP)
The army general staff presented
to the president's air board today
a statement in rebuttal to witnesses
who have urged sweeping charges
in the national defense organiza
tion. It denounced ns "unsound" tiie
proposed depart me - L of national
defence, asserted that "direct ad
ministration and control" of the
army air service actually does rest
"in the hands of the chief of the
air service," and presented a gen
eral denial of charges of misman
agement In the administration of
the air service itself.
Army's Side Presented
Presented by Brigadier General
Hush A. Drum, assistant chief of
staff, the statement covering CI
typewritten pages, was prefaced
with the remark that "the war de
partment has considered with pain
taking thoroughness and care the
various propositions and views pre
sented to the board."
"Tho main proposals," It added,
"have been studied In one form or
another before, during, and since
the world war. Consequently the
war department has c rystnllized It
views on air service organisation
Into sane, definite and well thought

concurred in by the chief of air

SPECIAL TAX
7
Annual road meetings for the
purpose of voting on the question
of levying special taxes In road
districts of the county will be held
this year principally on November
7, although more may be held lat
er. The meetings may be held any
time during November.
Up to the present time 29 meet
ings have been called, three or four
petitions In addition are In, and
officials state they know of two or
three more districts which are con
sidering holding such meetings this
year.
Last year 32 road districts In the
county held special meetings but
all of them did not vote a speclnl
tax. There will be no bonus from
county road funds this year as
there was Inst, when the court vot
ed to match funds up to two mills
in special road taxes. Tho court
now needs all the money for Its
market road program and probably
thero will be no more bonuses of
this nature for five years, at leant.
Road districts are permitted un
der the law to vote special tnxes
up to and Including 10 mills. As a
general thing Marion county road
districts are the mojt consistent
special road tax voters of any coun
ty in the stnte, which accounts to
a large degree for the splendid con
dltlon which Is found on the small
er, un paved side roads of the coun
ty.

"The formula for the latter pro

articles we will cite Instead of
brutally talking of direct guaran

that there Is no present Intention

The trial of Tom Murray for the
murder of Guard John Sweeney in
the prison break of August 12 will
not go to the jury before tomorrow
it was evident at the close of this
morning's session qC the court. The
opposing attorneys were agreed
that they would probably not get
to thclR final arguments before
morning.
Defen.se witnesses took up the
entire morning session of the court,
with three convict companions of
Murray at the prison as the princi
pal witnesses. Dale Arthur, tho
first of the three, said that he was
standing in the west corridor of the
north wing of the prison nnd saw
tho break of Murray and his com
' pan Ions across tho yard, and wit
nessed the shooting from a win
dow. He said that the first shots
In the break wero fired by the
guards on tower No. 1 at the con
victs when they wero in the turn
key's office. He said ho saw Ore
gon Jones run out on the steps and
fire at tower one with a rifle, but
that tho only shot he saw Murray
fire was one from behind an oak
tree In the prison yard at the
guard In tho tower. This Is tho
Mhot (hat the state contends killed
Sweeney.
All Tell Stum Story
As to this part of the escape all
thms of the convict witnesses tes

saw the break from the windows
overlooking the front yard.
