ANAHEIM EST. 1870 GAZETTE ANAHEIM, ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA. FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1951 Note of As Subc Works C McCracken Trial Jury Selection Takes Recess Second-murder trial of Herbert Ford McCracken, sex devil charged with slaying Patty Hu 10, of Buena Park last May was at week-end recess today with only one member of the special jury panel left to draw upon, and a new special panel 25 summoned to report for duing Monday morning. Herbert T. Morgan of San AGO, Aug. 17—CAPTURED SLAYER IGNOKES MOTHER—Harry Williams (seated), 20-year-old killer-rapist who escaped Aug. 14 from a death cell at County Jail, ignores his mother, Mrs. A Marshall (right), who visited him at Detective Bureau last night after he was recaptured. Associated Press Wirephoto Chicago Death House Fugitive Nabbed Aboard Streetcar Meekly Reading Bible CHICAGO (AP)—Harry Williams, the husky killer who beat a guard to death and escaped from a death cell in the Cook county jail, was captured on a street car without a struggle last night. The 20-year-old negro's capture lacked the dramatic overtones of his escape over the jail wall less than 47 hours before. Williams, neatly dressed, was riding in a street car reading a Bible when four policemen in a squad car spotted him. Two of the officers, in plain clothes, quietly boarded the car, captured Williams and took him off. Other passengers apparently didn't know what was going on. Williams surrendered meekly, insisting that police had the wrong man, that his name was "Billy Lilly." He had a driver's license bearing that name. But police fingerprinted him and established his identity. Williams, sullen and smirking by turns, was questioned more than two hours and finally admitted his identity. Williams, a rapist and slayer, had removed a steel plate from his cell in the death row Tuesday night, just a month to the day before his scheduled execution for murdering a negro woman in a purse snatching attempt. The six foot, two inch slayer shinnied up to the roof of the jail through a ventilating shaft. He lowered himself to the ground with a rope he had made of bed sheets. He climbed into a nearby guard tower on the wall and beat to death guard George Turley, 43. Then he dropped to the ground outside the wall. A wholesale investigation of alleged "laxity" at the big jail is under way. A guard was fired and a jail official was demoted. Last night Wizzams rang the doorbell of Mrs. Addie Hearn, 44. Local FFA Takes Lion’s Share of Judging Prizes Dalry and hog judging contest held yesterday at Orange county fair again saw Anaheim's Future Farmer chapter walk off with lion’s share of awards. In judging of Jersey two year old cows and older class, Anaheim's Jerry Fischbeck won first and Gary Siegel of Tustin, second Jerry received Reserve Champion with his cow in Jersey competition. In Holstein yearling class Kenneth VanDyke took third, and Robert VanDyke fourth. In hog judging, Larry Fischbeck Police Pick up Man as Suspect In Burglary Anaheim police are holding Allie Frank Eason, no permanent address, today pending investigation of a recent burglary at the Agren and Larson service station, 401 W. Center st. Eason was picked up yesterday at the request of officials of the Grant Musick used car lot, who said Eason drove a car out of the lot to "try it out" and didn't return it until six hours later. Eason told police the transmission jammed on the car and he was unable to bring it back until he had "fixed" it. According to police, Eason has a record of previous convictions and prison terms. Newport Woman Shot to Death OCEANSIDE (R) — A blonde woman, identified by the coroner's office as Dariel Jean Budd, 23, of Newport Beach, was found shot to death in an automobile near here yesterday. Coroner A. E. Gallagher said evidence indicated the woman committed suicide. Her body, one hand gripping a 32 caliber pistol, was slumped in an automobile in Aliso canyon Camp Pendleton. He lowered himself to the ground with a rope he had made of bed sheets. He climbed into a nearby guard tower on the wall and beat to death guard George Turley, 43. Then he dropped to the ground outside the wall. A wholesale investigation of alleged "laxity" at the big jail is under way. A guard was fired and a jail official was demoted. Last night Williams rang the doorbell of Mrs. Addie Hearn, 44, a distant relative by marriage, at 11651 Church st., on the far south side. Mrs. Hearn saw him through a window and telephoned police. Williams continued ringing until he heard the sirens of an approaching police car. Then he fled. Police Sgt. Vincent Cunningham of the homicide detail and his squad of three officers followed up this report. They figured that the nearest spot where Williams could board a street car was 115th and Morgan sts. They rushed to 95 and State sts., where all north-bound street cars on that line must stop. They parked and waited. Williams was on the third car that passed the corner. As the car proceeded northward, officers Cunningham and Thomas Devitt boarded it. Cunningham sat alongside Williams, and Devitt just behind him. Devitt covered Williams with his pistol, keeping it covered with his arm so the other passengers wouldn't express alarm. Temperatures Temperature reading in downtown Anaheim at 2 p.m. today was 82.

NOTE of Optimism Prevails Subcommittee Genially Works Out Buffer Question MUNSAN, Korea (UP)—A four-man subcommittee tackled the Korean buffer zone deadlock today amid official indications the communists are ready to compromise. The subcommittee declined to comment on what happened in their first session—held in an unusual air of informality for Korean truce talks. They scheduled their second session for 11 a.m. Saturday (6 p.m. Friday EST). When they adjourned at 4:22 p.m. (1:22 a.m. EST) United Nations and communist delegates posed together for the first time. While posing, Maj. Gen. Henry L.

When they adjourned at 4:22 p.m. (1:22 a.m. EST) United Nations and communist delegates posed together for the first time. While posing, Maj. Gen. Henry I. Hodes, one of the U.N. representatives, put his arm around North Korean Maj. Gen. Lee Sang Cho. The other two delegates—U. S. Rear Adm. Arleigh Burke and Chinese Maj. Gen. Hsieh Fang—also appeared to be in good spirits. While they were negotiating behind closed doors, their discussions were broken at times by outbursts of laughter. The informal attitude—a complete reversal of the cold military formality of all full delegation meetings—strengthened an air of hopefulness brought to Kaesong by a red broadcast. The Peiping radio quoted the chief communist negotiators as saying "it is possible to adjust" the red demand for a demarcation line along the $8th Parallel "on the basis of terrain and mutual defense." Terrain and defense are the reasons the Allies have insisted on a military demarcation along present battle lines. These are generally north of the $8th Parallel. Peiping radio, official voice of red China, reported North Korean Lt. Gen. Nam Il immediately qualified his statement by saying the United Nations delegation must abandon "its unfair and unreasonable demands" before agreement can be reached. The broadcast, monitored in Tokyo, said Nam made the statement at Thursday's Kaesong conference. This was the meeting which created the subcommittee. It was considered significant that Nam was reported to have shown willingness to compromise at the very moment negotiators decided to try a new way to break the three-week-old impasse. HUGE OIL ROYALTIES SAN FRANCISCO (P) — Kern County Land Company has reported that oil and gas royalties totaled $9,210,905 in the first half of this year. This compared with $8,366,112 in the similar period of 1950. Further Communist Uprising Promised At Peace Festival BERLIN (P)—Further communist uprisings in East Asia, especially in Malaya and Burma, were forecast today by young reds from these countries attending the world youth "peace" festival in East Berlin. Delegates from the so-called "colonial countries" held the spotlight for a day and used it to trumpet against "British Imperialism" and pledge solidarity with the Soviet Union. They issued a proclamation declaring that "the great freedom fight of the Chinese and Vietnamese peoples is an example for us. The road of freedom leads to Singapore and Mandalay." The young communists pledged to incite more strikes in Singapore and Rangoon, on the rubber plantations of Malaya and the tea plantations of Ceylon. Texas Heat Wave Still Unabated DALLAS (P)—Texans sweated and grumbled, crops shriveled and water got scarcer today as a violent heat wave clung tenaciously to the state's broad areas from Panhandle to Gulf. Twenty-seven persons have died in 100-degree-plus temperatures. Fires have scorched thousands of acres of powder dry timber lands. Cattle are being sold because pasture lands have dried up. There have been walk-outs because of the heat as sweltering employees of telephone companies demand air conditioning. The thermometer pushed as high as 108 at Texas points yesterday. Some cities have counted 100-plus temperatures for more than three weeks. Galveston was an envied spot. The city on an island in the Gulf of Mexico had only 92 degrees.
