“There wero screams and the air
was filled with dust and an acrid
smell. Bodies lay under the debris
and there was a great struggle as
the injuried tried to struggle free
and the uninjured tried to find a way
out”
A great force of police immediat-
ely closed in and the area was block-
ed to traffic.
For several hours Munich was shut
off from telephone communication
with the'rest of the country.
Only when the situation was fairly
well in hand were communications
restored.
The Munich; which since the war
has had blackouts nightly, suddenly
was brightly illuminated. The street
lights were turned on apparently to
aid the police. Ambulances con-
verged on the scene and departed
with screaming sirens.
Meanwhile Hitler was securely on
his special train bound for Berlin.

Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Biddy and their
two children, Charles and June Ma-
rie, of Paducah, spent Wednesday
with the J. C. Griffins. The Biddys
were on theri way to the coast to
Chicago, Nov. 8.—Assassins armed
with shotguns killed Edward J. O’-
Hare, nationally known horse and
dog track operator, today as ha trier
to eludj them in an automobile race
down a southwest boulevard.
Three gun charges struck him in Methodist Church'
the head, killing him instantly. His
.46 calibre pistol, unfired, lay beside
him in the seat of his car.
O’Hare, 45, had been president of
the National Jockey club, operators
of Sportsman Horse Racing park in
suburban Cicero since its inception in
1934, and was formerly publisher of
the Cicero Tribune. He took over
the newspaper after the slaying of
Louis “Diamond Louis” Cowan in
1933.
He first came into prominence here
as the promoter of the Hawthorne
dog track which was operated on
the site of the present Sportsman
park. Police recalled that Al Capone
interests were connected with the
early history of the park.
Police said O’Hare evidently re-
alized too late that he was being
trailed by three carloads of gunmen.
But, trying desperately to evade
them, he stepped on the accelerator
of his high-powered automobile and
sped northeast toward the loop.
When he saw he was going to be
overtaken, he attempted to turn
sharply into a side street. His car
careened and struck a lamp post.
One of the threescore, witnesses
said, slowed nearly to\i stop as one
of the twj, occupants leveled a gun,
took dead aim and fired at O’Hare,
who apparently was slumped over
his steering wheel, unconscious from
injuries suffered in the colision with
the post.

rity measures were ordered through-
out the reich.
No reason for the possibility that
foreign agents were responsible was
given, but the government at once
offered a 600,000 mark (about |240,-
000) reward for the persons respon-
sible, —one of the largest rewards in
European history.

The Associated Press reached one
of the hall administrators by tele-
phone and was told that a “terrific
charge” of some explosive had been
set off either in an upper room or
under the floor of the upper room.
Hitler had been out of the room
for some minutes but old followers
had lingered to discuss enthusiasti-
cally his address in which he had
defied England and boaster that the
German people was united as never
before.

HITLER ESCAPES DEATH
BY MINUTES
—
Berlin, Nov. 8.—Adolf Hitler es-
eaped death by a few minutes today
in an explosion which wrecked the
famous Buergerbrau beer cellar in
Munich after he had completed a
fighting war speech.
The terrific blast brought down the
ceiling of the spacious room, killing
six and injuring more than 60 among
the old nazi leaden who had come
together to celebrate the famous 1923
putsch that failed.
Hitler himself, the cheen of his
trusted comrades still ringing in his
ears, was safe on an armoured train
speeding toward Berlin when the
blast let go.
The men killed were veterans of
Hitler’s party who are now the aris-
tocracy of the nazi movement.
But it was stated by authorities
that none of the leaders of nazidom
was among the dead or injured.
Propaganda Minister Goebbels, De-
puty Party Leader Rudolf Hess, Min-
ister of the Interior Wilhelm Frick,
Julius Streicher, Roberty Ley and
Sister Pia—the only woman who was
among Hitler’s old battlers—had at-
tended the party’s anniversary cele-
bration.
But as far as could be learned sev-
eral hours after the blast, all either
had left with Hitler or departed
shortly after he had stepped into his
car In Rosenheimer street at the
conclusion of his address.
After the confusion subsided some- name of their
what authorities said there were
clues that the blast had been arrang-
ed by “foreign agents."
Great excitement was said to exist
in Munich, and extraordinary secu-

It was stated he probably owed his
escape to the fact that the pressure
of state business caused him to cut
short his stay In Munich.
Had the usual program been fol-
lowed he would have remained to
mingle and chat for some time with
the party veterans.
It was not even known whether
he had been informed of the blast
late tonight, or which of the govern-
mental leaders had accompanied him
on the train.

ham and were all written from 1835
to 1850. The poems read by Jessie
were from “Miniatures” by Allah
Reeves. The club was very interested

neice of Mrs. R. B. Senterfitt.

Russellville, Ala., Nov. 8.—Mrs.
Annie Fay Johnson pleaded guilty to
bigamy Wednesday, then told a jury
of a rural wife-swapping deal that
started the illicit love and involved
exchange of land, children
mule as well as spouses.
The 29-year-old farm woman will
be sentenced after conclusion of the
bigamy trials of her husband. Will
D. Johnson, 36, Odell Brand, 32,
and his wife, Mrs. Della Brand, 29,
all three of whom sat huddled about
the defense counsel table while she
told her bizarre story.
The indictments for bigamy, pun-
ishable by a maximum of five years’
imprisonment, charge specifically
that the four were married biga-
mously in Fulton, Miss., last Febru-
ary on the same day that condi-
tional divorces were granted here.
These divorce decrees, the State con-
tends, forbade remarriage for 60
days and have since been set
aside.
Mrs. Johnson testified she filed
suit for divorce on grounds of
cruelty after she found Johnson and
Mrs. Brand in a compromising posi-
tion on the Johnson farm near Red
Bay.
She declared Johnson offered her
a deed to 250 acres of land in Mis-
sissippi and 20 acres of the “home
place" if she would divorce him so
he could marry Mrs. Brand. She
accepted the deed, Mrs. Johnson
said, to find later the property was
heavily mortgaged.
Solicitor R. T. Simpson, in his
opening statement said the State
would show that the Johnsons and
Brands, farm neighbors, had traded
spouses before their divorces were
final, and that the divorce decrees
had been vacated before they be-
came final.
Simpson said Mrs. Johnson and
her new mate, Brand, were given
land, a mule and three of the five
Brand children in the exchange.
Johnson and Mrs. Brand, he said,
kept two Brand children and the
two Johnson children.
Arrested shortly after their trip
to Fulton, Miss., the four were in-
dicted last May and have not lived
together since.
The other principals have declin-
ed to discuss the case, and have
given no intimation of defense
strategy at their joint trial.
Defense demurrers to the indict-
ments were overruled by
Judge C. P. Almon at the
of the hearings Wednesday
ing.
