Surveyor Warden Reports

Work Being Confined
Entirely to Road Repair
and Maintenance.
The total e x p e n d i t u r e by the
county road department last year
for the maintenance of county
roads and bridges and attendant
drainage structure? was S l l t J . l G u
according to a report compiled by
C o u n t y Siuveyor J. W. Warden.
This total is in {.harp contrast.
10 the e x p e n d i t u r e in 1332 of
S-507,76.". and in 1331 of $470.655. and emphasizes most emphatically the general decrease in
the county's income, the surveyor stated.
No contracts for roads, bridges
or culverts, were let last year, and
the work of the department was
confined entirely to road repair
and maintenance, the report
shows.
There are 203 miles of road in
the county road system. Of this
total, nearly 41 miles of roads
were surface treated d u r i n g the
year, which is more than the number of miles treated in 1932, the
surveyor reported. Hot and cold
011 applications were made as a
part of this surface treatment.
One of the important functions
of the surveyor's department toward the close of last year was
furnishing projects and supervision for CWA laborers.
Cleaned Ditches
The surveyor organized eight
gang? of CWA workers, furnished
supervision for each sang, which
numbered from 14 to 18 men, and
directed work which resulted in
the cleaning of 77 miles of ditches along the highways, the improvement of eight miles of
nerms. the cleaning of 11.000
feet of outlet ditches, and the laying or relaying of 2.500 feet of
tile.
The report states that there are
3227 drainage structures in the
highway system in the county and
50 steel truss bridges.
The surveyor reported that the
users of the county highway system paid more than double in gas
and auto taxes the amount spent
on the system.

silver program is not expected to
affect the average man's pocketbook, his silverware or bis economic status.
The silver program now before
congress does, however, vest important new monetary powers in
President Roosevelt which could
lead to further action toward
world business recovery.
Behind the scenes the measure
involves important changes in
the metallic backing of the
American dollar. The country's
silver money reserves, now little
more than one-tenth of the huge
$7,757.000.000 gold reserves, will
be increased gradually until they
amount to 25 per cent of the metallic monetary reserves.
This would mean secret purchase through the 2,000,000,000
stabilization fund of enough silver or 1,310,000,000 ounces on
the present basis to bring the reserves to the desired percentage.

Still Incomplete.
WASHINGTON. May 23Prof.

Raymond Molcy. the original

brain trustcr. urged today in his
long missing criem report that the
"totally inadequate" field forces
of the Department of Justice be
strengthened.
The report, -which had been in
preparation ever since Molcy resigned as under-sccretary of state
last September and which once
was reported as "vanished" by
Attorney General Homer S. Cummings. advocated passage of a
lengthy list of anti-crime bill?.
Six of the measures already
have bren made law by the signatur< of president Roosevelt.
Moley explained that because of
his heavy duties since he ha* returned to private life, preparation
of the report has been rejardcd
and that in fact it still is not
completed. There win be two
more installments later, he Mid in
a statement issued through the
Justice Department.
Urging that congress pa*s still
another measure extending federal police facilities. Moley said
that the Department of Justice
had done remarkably well recently with its limited number of operatives.
"The high ratio of result?." he
said, "have done mnch to restore tho prestige of federal Ju.t^c*. after the miserable failures
registered by the prohibition division d u r i n c the past 15 years."

Proprietors of approximately
150 small businesses in the county and another large group of
persons who have failed to make

ST. PAUL. May 20 Evelyn

Frechette, part Indian sweetheart of John Dillinger. was found
guilty today by a j u r y in Federal
court on chaises of harboring the
Hoosier outlaw.
Dr. Clayton E. May of Minneapolis also was found guilty of
conspiracy to harbor Dillinger.
He treated the o u t l a w for gunshot wounds a few days after Dillinger shot his way out of a Federal ambush here.
Mrs. Augusta Salt, -nurse for
Dr. May, was found not guilty.
Judge Gunnar H. Nordbye immediately sentenced Dr. May and
Miss Frechette to two-year prison
sentences and fines of ? 1,000
each.
The prison terms were the maximum allowed under the law although the two were liable to
fines of 10,000 each.
The jury received the case yesterday afternoon and was locked
up at 9:30 last night with instructions to return its verdict in
court today.
Dr. May admitted treating the
wounded Dillinger. who hid in
Mrs. Salt's homo for three day?.
Both contended, however,
that
they shielded the outlaw because
of fear for their lives.
"Mis's Frechette, 26-year-old hah"
Indian ward of the government,
found Uncle Sam could be a stern
parent as well as a protective one,
six months after her meeting with
Dillinger.
Madly in love with the outlaw,
according to her story, she was
arrested in a Chicago cafe while
trying to aid him in reassembling
his gang. Two weeks earlier, she
'had fled with Dillinger from a St.
Paul gun battle.
The Indian reservation girl met
Dillinger at Chicago in November, 1933. She abandoned her
toe dancing career to go with him
to Florida and Tucson. Ariz.
When he was arrested at Tucson, sho was with him. She saw
him in the Crown Point f i n d . )
jail a few days before he bluffed
through an escape with a wooden
gun. For two nights, the patroled a Chicago block, waiting
for him to join her in a trip to the
Twin Cities.
She was "chief cook and bottle
washer," so she said, in their
apartment while he participated
in bank raids at Mason City. la.,
and Sioux Falls. S. D.. which netted ?90.000.
He came back wounded from
the Sioux Falls raid, as did his
chief lieutenant, John Hamilton,
but was ready for a Newton. la.,
bank holdup when two Federal
agents and a policeman chanced
on his apartment hideout March
31.
Miss Frechette slammed t h e
door in the face of tho officer?
and the appearance outside of
Homer Van Meter, another DilHngerite. gave her and the o u t l a w
time to dress.
Van Meter chased a Federal
5cnt into the street while Oillinger with bursts of machine gun
fire cleared the way for his cvnpc
with Miss Frechette, who drove
him away. On of the officer's
bullets found its mark in the dc^perado's leg.
Eddie Green, s:. Paul canister,
summoned Dr. May and the fusitivc was taken to Mrs. Salt's
apartment for treatment.

WASHINGTON". May 2T The
thunderers of NRA. Clarence Darrow and General Hugh S. Johnson, were to met quietly today
and talk the whole thins over.
Amid congressional debate so
intense that regular business is
almost at a a standstill a conference was arranged tentatively between the Blue Eagle's severest
critic and its staunchcst defender.
Dai-row's office said the veteran attorney would call on Johnson today if he received "a letter
or telephone call." It was understood the meeting would have
neon held yesterday but was postponed due to Darrow's desire to
attend Review Board hearings of
complaints on the cement code.
Darrow was unperturbed by
Johnson's demand for abolition of
the Review Board. He was aroused by some remarks in Johnson's
answer to the board's report.
The senate forum on the NRA
was expected to continue today
with indications that the fight
was growing -nor" bitter.

Clyde Barrow, Southwest
Desperado, Bonnie Parker, his cigar-smoking companion, and three men riding with them in an automobile were killed today
in a gun battle with officers near here.
The other victims wereJoe Palmer, Henry Matthennan and an unidentified man.
The outlaws rode into a
trap, set by Sheriff Henderson Jordan, of Bienville Parish.
Deputy,
Prentiss Oakley, a Federal
agent named Kendall, a
Dallas, ...Texas, deputysheriff and two other
white men were in the
posse.
The officers had lain in
wait since 2 a. m., after
receiving a tip that Barrow was in this vicinity.
Arsenal in Car
The "outlaws approached the
trap, riding in a gray Ford Sedan.
Barrow was at the wheel. Bonnie
sat beside him. The other men
were in the rear seat.
The officers blocked the road
ahead of them. Barrow opened
fire with a sawed-off shot gun.
The officers loosened a barrage of
fire, riddling the- bandit's automobile, and killing every occupant.
In the car were found three remodeled army rifles, two sawedoff shotguns, and 12 pistols.
The bodies were taken to Arcadia, the Parish seat.
Sheriff Gets Tip
Sheriff Jordan, a man of S2.
borving his first term as peace officer, was credited with ending
the reign of terror of the Barrow
gang. A former grocer, known
throughout the Parish he began
working a month ago on the
theory that the gang might try to.
visit relatives of one of the Barrow gangsters, living cear here.Tipsters were employed, and a
few weeks ago it was teamed that
the gang had paid a vhit here.
Sherift Jordan expected them to
return. Last night he received a
tip that the sane was in Mount
