Jan. 30. —There is a , great deal back of the suspension of i Warden Preston E. Thomas of the Ohio state penitentiary at Columbus j —that is. a great deal that has been crowded out of the nation’s news papers. A sensational hearing has been go i ing on in Columbus, throwing this penitentiary' wide open—figuratively. Ever since the fire in May', 1930, when 322 convicts perished locked in their ; cell houses, there have been startling ! runxorsc dneerning the administra tion of this ancient prison. Even prior , to the fire, there were rumors. But the warden defied investigation ; He seemed to rule not only the peni tentiary', and itsh apless inmates, but the governors of Ohio —Republican and Democratic —as well. Now. Ohio has a new governor Mar tin L. Davev (a Democrat, as was his predecessor. George Wihite). i One of the first moves made by • Governor Davev - was the appointment ;of Frazier Reams, prosecutor of Lucas county (Toledo), to investigate the penitentiary regime. A few days’ testimony convinced the governor and Reams that they' | already' had enough evidence to sus ; pend the warden. And the governor issued an executiveo rder, suspending for 30 days the warden who had rul ed supreme for 22 years. Not only | was he suspended, but his wife’s job ! as matron and his daughter’s job as ! mail censor were abolished. And na ; tional guardsmen were ordered into the penitentiary' grounds to take icharger SOME REASONS Warden Thomas was forced out of j his prison office and his prison home ! when Investigator Reams told Gov PUBLISHED EVERY AFTBRNOOM EXCEPT SUNDAY, vestigators she had sat in on a con ference where collusion was termed a usual thing, and where a “fixer” in Washington was described as having power tod istribute parts of the busi ness for a “consideration.” Her testimony' was brief, She gave the committee records of what she claimed took place at a meeting in a Washington hotel on August 3, 1933 where the services of the “fixer” al legedly' were proffered to Wilder to | get h,inl some naval;’ Wtiilding. ■ wiide’r told the committee he had been disappointed at the day’s bid ding for naval ships, say'ing he was low bidder on three destroyers, but failed to get them because of previous agreements among the “big three,” by j which the 27-ship program was shar- I ed. each taking a third. LIQUOR THREAT TQ DRIVERS’ LICENSE Prove Big Factor in Consid eration of Measure Be fore Committee llaily l)is|»al<'b ltur«*aa. In the 8*- Walter Hotel. Raleigh, Jan. 30— Liquor threatened for a. time to wreck the Statewide drivers’ license bill when it was pre sented to the joint Senate and House Committees on Roads Tuesday after noon by the sub-committee that had been prepared the committee bill. Vigorous objection was raised to the section of the bill which would have made the mere finding of a bottle of liquor in an automobile grounds for the revocation of the driver’s license for a year, even if the driver had not been drinking or was not driving recklessly'. The section was finally amended to permit the transportation of an un limited amount of liquor in an auto mobile without any penalty so long as the driver could prove none of it was for re-sale and provided the driver was not drinking, drunk or driving recklessly. The other provisions of the bill were approved with almost no change , and the bill reported favor ably'. Senator U. L. Spence of Moore county, chairman of the senate roads committee, took the lead in urging the revision of the section pertaining to the transportation of liquor. “I se no harm in a man going to (Continued on Page Four) j JAPS CAPTURE TOWN | ON MONGOL BORDERS I Tokyo, Thursday, Jan. 31. i (AP) —Ren go (Japanese) News Agency reported early today in a dispatch from Hsinking, Mancliu kuo. that a Japanese-Manchukuan force last night captured KaLkha Miao, along the Mancliu-Mongol border, and that the MongeF were '..V-." in v 1. , ,<_■ • * ■ i. 8 PAGES TODAY FIVE CENTS COPY i DEFENDANT’S WIFE TRAPPED BY STATE IN HER TESTIMONY First Says She Never Used Shelf Where Money Box , Stayed, But Then Admits She Did HUSBAND WITH HER NIGHT BABY TAKEN Also Says He Was at Home Night Ransom Was Paid By Dr. Condon and On Night He Is Alleged To Have Passed Ransom Money at Theatre Fleniingtou, N.

Flemington, N. J., Jan. 30.—(AP)— Mrs. Bruno Richard Hauptmann, testifying to save her husband from the electric chair as the kidnaper and murderer of Baby Charles A. Lind berh.
