EFFICIENT THIEF CAUGHT
,.- PASADENA, Calif. (UPI)
Joseph Crescinamo, 26, may not
-. have committed a perfect crime,
" but according lo police it was an
efficient one. Police said Tues
" day that they arrested him after
he walked out of a department
store with four shirts he hadn't
paid for and discovered he had
made out a "shopping list" of
i. other clothes he planned to steal.
aid whatsoever but his leg braces.
Since that time he has progressed
enough to enter a public school
in town this fall.
The steps leading up to this
accomplishment are long and var
ied, traveling from a fear of any
situation which threatened his po
sitional security at the beginning of
his hospital stay, to the school
year of 1956 when he began to
walk with crutches. ,
In 1957 Herbie moved to canes
with small tripod bases and could
walk 115 leet in one n-jnule. By
1958 he was using them with speed
and efficiency. Then in October he
made the big step of walking un
aided.
One person who has been instru
mental in Herbie's recovery has
been Mrs. Philip Cole, 415 Hillside
Avenue. In 1958 she received a let
ter from George R. Stafford, man
aging director of the school, who
knew Mrs. Cole was interested in
the child.
He stated that Herbie was an
excellent student and had a good
chance to become a useful citizen
But that he had to return for one
year to learn how to manage him
self in preparation for attending
public school.
Mrs. Cole helped to raise mon
ey to send him back by sponsoring
a rummage sale which raised.
$1,000. The money went into e
trust fund to help pay for his expenses.
Of the $1,000 there is still $50
which will be used for his further
education and physical therapy.
Now a year later, almost to the
day of the rummage sale, Herbie
has made a definite conquest over
this crippling disease. School of ft
cials'have recommended him as a
student who should do very well
academically and that he should
make a real contribution to the
grade to which he is assigned.
His first year, they add, may be
hard for the boy because he
missed a large percentage of his
academic work while taking ther
apy. But they are confident he
can do it, as they feel that he
has "the intelligence, ambition and
character to work through these
initial difficulties. And when he
does (we), are certain the entire
community will be proiui of this
youngster."
A heartfelt letter of thanks
was recently received by Mrs.
Cole from Herbie's parents, Mr.
and Mrs. J. O. Cobb, 3704 Dia
mond Street. They thanked the
many people who helped make it
possible for the little boy to at
tend the hospital which is spon
sored by the Easter Seal Agency.
Mrs. Cole also expressed her
thanks to the many people who
aided this youngster on his way
to becoming a useful, happy mem
ber of this community.

Confederate
Near Death
HOUSTON. Tex. API-The last
veteran of the Civil War, Walter
Williams. 116, hovered near death
today. A physician said he could
live "only a matter of days."
Dr. Russell Wolfe said the old
soldier's condition had changed
little in the last 24 hours. He said.
however, that Williams had grown
continually weaker for several
days.
The Confederate veteran is
breathing fasler and shallower,
the doctor said, and his pulse is
regular but weak.
Williams was a forage master
with Hood's Brigade in the Con
federate army. His present illness
has been attributed to a recent
bout with pneumonia. He lives

Man Reveals
Life As Spy
OAKLAND (UPI) A San Jose
building contractor told the Oak
land Lions Club Wednesday he had
been a member of the Communist
party for 26 years and a paid FBI
informer for 12 years.
The double life of Karl Prus-
sion, 50, was confirmed by Rich
ard Auerbach, FBI agent in
charge in San Francisco, who said
Prussian had been in the FBI's
employ from November. 1949, to
July, M8. ,
Prussion said he furnished the
House Un American Activities
Committee with the names of
teachers and other professional
persons whom it plans to question
at public hearings here next
month.
The San Jose man said he plans
to write a book about his exper
iences as a Communist party mem
ber in the Palo Alto area and
what he learned from it.
Mahurin signed a complaint
against his stepson, James Mirl
Chancelor. 32. a Macdoel truck
driver, and Doyle H. Holly, 26, a
Chiloquin logger at the home of
Judge Chase early the morning
following the reported beating.
When a preliminary hearing was
set for July 28, Siskiyou County
District Attorney Albert H. New
Ion Jr. subpoenaed Mahurin to ap
pear. He did not show up. Newton
said he had received a a phone
call from a man, presumably Ma
hurin, who asked that the case be
dismissed. Newton asked for a
continuance until August 7.
Newton said he has since looked
hard for Mahurin but has been un
able to locate him. Judge Chase
set August 21 at 1:30 p.m. as the
date of a third hearing.
The two men, formally charged
with felony assault with a deadly
weapon, posted $2,500 bail and
were released. If convicted, they
could receive penalties of up to
10 years in prison, a $5,000 fine
or both. They are defended by
public defender Charles Hurley of
Yreka.
Mahurin told deputy sheriffs his
stepson borrowed $100 from him a
year ago. In return, Mahurin said.
he received collateral which he
failed to identify.
One evening Chancellor and Hoi
ly appeared at his trailer home at
Mt. Hebron, he said, and asked
lor the collateral. Mahurin says he
told Chancellor he could have the
collateral when the debt was paid.
The pair left, returned later and
beat him, one holding him while
the other laced him with the butt
of a pistol, he said. Deputies ar
rested the pair at Mahurin's home
July 12.
