Williams, once described as one of Chica go's most vicious criminals, was baptized a Catholic recently. Earlier in the day he had been visited by his mother, Mrs. Edna Williams of Cleveland, and his girl friend, Miss Barbara Swa der, 20. Miss Swader, also a county jail prisoner awaiting trial for burglary, was permitted to leave her cell to pay a last visit to the condemned purse-snatching murderer. Her last wards with him were, "Goodbye, and God he" with you," jailers "said. Guards said his composure when he entered the death chamber was outstanding. - ' A black hood covered his en tire head. He wore a white, sleeveless undershirt,, trousers cut off at the knee and over sized laceless shoes. As he was strapped in the chair, he murmured "goodbye" to a guard. He accomplished ' what was considered the impossible when he tricked guards into permit ting him to leave his cell shortly before midnight last Aug. 15.

He crept along the catwalk atop the wall and came up be hind George Turley, a guard on duty in a watchtower. He grab bed Turley, wrested his shotgun away and clubbed him to death with it. Then Williams, a well-built man, slipped down a handmade rope and fled into the rainy summer's night. But exactly 47 hours after his escape, a detective spotted him on a street car.

Friday. March 14. 1952 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE SEVEN Pirating of Labor Being Investigated Wenatchee U.R) Regional Wage Stabilization Board Chair man Leo Kotin said Friday the WSB is investigating reports that some fruit growers are "pirat ing" pruning labor by paying il legally high wages. Kotin said the preliminary in vestigation in this area will be made by the wages and hour di vision of the U.S. Department of Labor. The official said reports reach ing the board indicated some growers were paying $1.25 per hour for pruning labor. Accord ing to these reports, the prevail ing rate in 1950 was $1 per hour or less. Kotin said it appeared on first glance that few farmers in the area can legally pay a rate in excess of $1.10 without prior authorization of the WSB.
