ture. This buggy-like vehicle had a one-cylinder engine
mounted at the front, was driven by a series of chains

about $700 and is today a rarity among" antique auto- t
mobiles. Lower: Baker electric of 1907 wal deigned for '
use by ladies who abhorred noisy gasoline contraptions

and effiminate taste.
Real Old-Timers Will Be
Seen Among Aged Cars
By BEN MAXWELL
Montgomery, Ala. () With
a mumbled prayer for forgive
ness, Mrs. Earle Dennisoa was
put to death early today for the
bizarre poison slaying of an in
fant niece whose life she had
Insured for 95.600.
The frail, trembling former
surgical nurse made uo protest
six was seated la KUby
prison's yellow electric chair,
but winced and uttered faint
cry when the straps were pulled
too tight
She was the first white
woman aver electrocuted in
Alabama. Mrs. Dennison, who
fed arsenic to 3-year-old Shir
ley Diann Weldon for the in-
y MX THOMAS
surance she hid taken out on
her, met death calmly despite
ner nervousness.
To the prison authorities and
witnesses who watched her die.
the 55-year-old widow had
only this to say:
"Please forgive me for every,
thing I did. I forgive every
body." With those final words,
the black cloth mask was hook
ed into place and 2.500 volts of
electricity were hnt h,-n...h

' Antique automobiles, one
dating to before 1900 and oth
ers distinguished as winners
in races of international re
nown, will be a concession
feature at the Oregon State
Fair opening Saturday.
Lindley BothweU, Wood
land Hills, Calif., has assured
the fair management that he
will have on display, among
others, a.' 1899 Locomobile,
1901 Crestwell, 1902 OMimn
bile, 1901 Bsker electric, 1911
Rolls Royce, 1911 . Peugeot
rscer, ' 1917 Hudson racer,
1914 Ford racer, 1912 Cadil
lac racer, 1908 Bent racer and
a 1914 N&tional sports model.
Johnny Graber, fair em
ploye for about 20 years,
looked at the exhibit Thurs
day and concluded that the
1901 Oldsmobile was, per
haps, the most interesting of
the six cars then on hand. And
Johnny Graber ought to
know. He owned a 1905 Olds
mobile that accommodated
five passengrt and was paid
$60 a round trip for taking a
car load from Salem to the
Lewis & Clark fair. One day
in 1905 he made two round
trips from Salem to Portland.
The 1901 Crestmobile is lit
tle more than a buggy with
an engine out in front No
hood covered the engine, it
was Just a one cylinder en
gine set out in front of a
buggy and started by twisting
a leather strap around a pully
and turning her over. (This
writer's modern garden trac
tor starts just that way when it
starts at all). This Crestmobile
of 52 years ago is chain driven
and steers with a tiller.
That 1899 Locomobile, old
est Item in the collection, was
not on hand Thursday but it
cannot be much different than
a 1902 model owned by Ralph
Wnrtmin. McM nnville bsn
er. A short ride this writer had
in Wortman's car demonstrat
ed that those early steam Lo
comobiles had a get-a-way that
would make some modern su-
per-dupers sputter to equal.
Bothwell's 1907 Baker ele
trie is a Victoria model and
practically identical with a
machine owned by Sally Busn
45 years ago (the one, old
timers will recall, that "Aunt"
Sally drove through the Opera
House pharmacy to create a
chaos In spilled pills). About
this time Mrs. R. P. Boise also
owned an electric a favorite
with the ladies since electrics
did not run much beyond 25
miles an hour, were practically
noiseless and denoted elegance.
Those who closely inspect the
old Baker at the fair will agree
that it is delicately modeled to
become the lady's taste for ef
feminacy and refinement
But the nearby Benz nas no
such characteristics. Barney
Oldfield It said to have burned
up the track with bis roaring
German monster in ihus.
BothweU does not say to but
this ear may well be the cele
brated Blitzen Benz in which
Barney Oldfield attained the
speed record for 1910 when he
accomplished 131.72 miles an
hour.
Another racer of distinction
in the exhibit is 1913 Peu
geot, a French car, that attain
ed international distinction in
1913 when it carried Goux
around the Indianapoli sspeed
way at a speed of 75.93 miles
an hour.
Another BothweU exhibit
yet to arrive it a 1902 Oldsmo
bile. Salem fanciers of antique
automobiles should observe
this ancient Oldsmobile close
ly. This model of the curved
dash Olds that steered with a
tiller is almost a facsimile of
the 1903 machine Otto Wilson
acquired snd, according to the
Capital Journal for April 15,
1903, was Just U""1 uncraling.
That was Salem's first home
owned automobile.

2 Small Boys
In Mail Theft
Albany Mystery that had
venea a local mail theft since
Aug. 15 has been lifted by city
police.
According to the report of an
investigation by city police two
small boys on August 15, with
a Jacknife as their only burglar
tool, unscrewed the cover plate
from a mail slot at the Cascade
Distributing Co., building at
Hill and Water Sis., and ex
tracted a handful of mail. In
the collection of envelopes was
only one that contained any
thing of value a check which
was given - by one of the boys
to his father.
Solution of the crime was
made possible by a police in
terview early in the week with
three other .boys, two aged
and the other 7, one of them
from Independence. -'
This trio was caught taking
valve caps from cars parked In
the vicinity of Hill and Muin
and they told the police they
had seen the two diminutive
mail robbers extract the mail
and hide it under a bush.
The boys pointed out- the
bush and the officers recovered
the missing mail, all of which
had come from the office of
City School Superintendent L
R. Halseth. The check, the po
lice later found, was forwarded
by the young purloiner's father
to the Bank of Lebanon, on
which it had been drawn.
Parents of the youthful rob
bers proved fully co-operative.
Disposition is being left to'
the post office department

arated. He added that 1900 of
these are getting out volun
tarily. The Air Force said, "a report
that it intended to separate an 1

the service is in error." The
Air Force itself had said an
other 4000 would be discharged.

Her head had been completely

A brother-in-law of the con
demned woman, W. p. Guin of
Winnsboro, La., was among the
witnesses, so was James Crow-
en of Wetumpka, Ala, whose
brother married one of Mrs.
Dennison's sisters.
In a final anneal to Gov. Gar-
don Persons yesterday, the
graying widow begged for
mercy and grieving members of
ner tamlly prayed. But the ov-
ernor aft-fused to be influenced
by the fact that no other white
woman had ever been electro
cuted in this state.
The bizarre details of Shlrlev
Diann'a death came to lieht on
May 8, 1952, when the aunt was
taken into custody and charged
with murder. That was just one
week after the child had died
in convulsions at the very hos
pital where the nurse worked.
In two signed statements ad
mitted as evidence later at her
trial, Mrs. Dennison told of
poisoning the child who only
m moment before had greeted
ner wun an affectionate hug.
Shirley Diann'a death was
similar to the mysterious .illness
which took the life of another
weldon child, Polly Ann. two
years before.
Polly Ann's body was due
from its grave and i showed
traces of arsenic. Mrs. Denni
son was Indicted for her death
as well as Shirley Diann'a but
tried only for the latter.
The editorial said that after
the August call was announced.
mm armea forces received "a
flood of applications for re
serve commissions and active
duty orders" from physicians
who had been temporarily de-
lerrea.
"These volunteers now ex
ceed 1,200, a number far in ex
cess of the present medical re
quirements" of aU branches of
the military, it tald.
The journal added the selec
tive service system "refused to
cancel its pending" draft call
"not withstanding this excess
of medical officers.''
