State Acts To Repay Four Men Who
Served Prison Terms When. Innocent
RALEIGH i AP) The State of
North Carolina acted Tuesday to
recompense four men who were
convicted and served long terms
in prison on death row in one
case for crimes of which they
were innocent.
The Governor and the Council of
State, acting under a law passed by
the 1947 General Assembly, ap
proved the following payments: to
Hamp Kendall of Caldwell county,
$4,912.56; to Gus Colon Langley of
Asheboro. $927.80; to Eddy Victor
Fowler of High Point, $1,008.08;
and to Sylvan Palmer of Greens
boro. $1,104.19.
The case of Hamp Kendall dates
back to 1907 when he was con
victed of second degree murder in
the slaying of Lawrence Nelson,
and he served 10 years before he
was pardoned by Governor T. W.
Bickett after another man had con
fessed committing the crime.
Langley was convicted in Bun
combe in 1932 of first degree mur
der in the robbery-slaying of a
filling statio noperator. He was
placed on death row and received
several reprieves while his claim
that he was in Wilmington at the
time the crime was committed was
being investigated. He was par
doned by Governor J. C. B. Ehrlng-
haus on October 31, 1934.
Fowler and Palmer were con
victed in Davidson county with
Joe Horn and Walter Bridgman of
robbery with firearms in connec
tion with the robbery of a bank
at Denton, however, two other men
confessed the crime. Horn died in
prison, and Bridgman has not ap
plied for restitution.
The law, which authorizes pay
ments to those who have been par
doned on proof of innocence, pro
vides for the payment of $500 a
year for each year served in prison
up to a maximum of $5,000. All
payments made today were recom
mended by paroles commissioner
Hathaway Cross who held hearings
on the cases.

Wrought last week by soot
smudged chimney sweeps that in
vaded the living room and sun par
lor of the home of Dr. and Mrs
C. C. Keiger.
The birds were ousted only after
a battle that lasted nearly three
hours, exhausted Dr. and Mrs.
Keiger and baffled the fire depart
ment. Exterminators finally won
the victory with poison gas.
Thousands of chimney sweeps'
had been cleared from the huge
chimneys of the Dilworth Metho
dist church. They were settling in
the Keiger's chimney when the
doctor's wife touched off the bat
tle by trying to light a fire In the
fireplace. The fire wouldn't draw.
But the birds did down the chim
ney they came in a swarm.
Mrs. Keiger tried to shoo them
out the window with a broom. Then
she called her husband and they
tried two brooms. The fire depart
ment arrived on request and tried
another fire to smoke them out.
The birds, added reinforcements
Via a downdraft.
The exterminators were called
after two hours of battle and after

THE WEATHER PUTS
NIGHT CLUB GAME
IN A HOT SPOT
NEW YORK It has been so hot
on Broadway, says Bert Lahr, that
even shirts in store windows are
sweating under their collars. Hotel
supper clubs are waiting for the
first cool weather to announce
openings. . . . Night club owners
are pessimistic about their imme
diate future but are going ahead
with plans just the same . . . Much
like the gambler who played in a
card game he knew, was a swindle
because it was' the "only game in
town".
Roof business is so good at the
Astor Hotel that Bob Christenberry
decided to keep it open another
month right into the early autumn
season . . . The Astor's a tradition

Paul Lavalle has started work on a
musical score for an operetta for
the return of his wife to the stage
she's Muriel Angelus, remem
bered for her musical contributions
to "Bitter Sweet".
The new b6bby-sox sensation,
Mel Torme, had to , follow Tony
Martin as the star warbler at the
Copacabana . . . now he's in the
same position, following Perry
Como at the Meadowbrook. . . And,
incidentally, coming off better than
his latter crooning, predecessor at
the suburban dinerand-dancery.
June Christy was the gal singer
with Stan Kenton's band which
won most of the year's swing band
honors . . . After Stan had a break
down and busted up the orchestra
while he got back on his feet, June
went solo, finally working up to
$650 a week at the new Club Troub
adour . . . But now Kenton's all
well again and June wants to sing
with the band which gave her such
a heady start ... So she's going
back for $250 a week unusual
loyalty in the business battles along
Broadway.
Mishel Piastro, conductor and
violinist, told uj at lunch in the
Mayflower Restaurant, the other
noon, that he once; was playing a
concert in Madrid when ne noticed
a snake moving down the center
aisle! ... His playing held the
audience's attention up toward the
stage and away from the reptile.
. . . Finally it moved into the wings
backstage, where it sent the stage
hands scrambling. It was Piastro's
toughest concert, even worse than
facing the critics, he said.
n figured out later that maybe
the snake was iust looking fnr
usher to show him to his seat," he

Announcement that Leonard B.
Sang has been appointed managing
director of the Belasco Theater
Corporation brought back a fond
memory Leonard was manager of
the old Shubert Teck in Buffalo,
where more than 20 years ago I saw
my first stage show, "Blossom
Time". Years later, when I was
Manhattan police reporter, I cov

Which Leonard foiled by. simply
chasing, after the fellow who- had
grabbed several thousand; dollars
In ticket money despite, the fact
that the masked v bandit had a
sawed-off shotgun. But Leonard
caught him and sat on him until the
cops came, Hisoiew executive posi
