ZANGARA GETS 80 YEAR
TERM FOR SHOOTING
MIAMI, Fla., Feb. 20.—As scornful
of the law as when he tried to as-
sassinate President-elect Roosevelt
last Wednesday night, Giuseppe Zan-
gara pleaded guilty today to four
counts of attempt to murder and was
sentenced to 80 years imprisonment.
“Oh, judge, don’t be stingy. Give
me 100 years,” the 33 year old pris-
oner shouted as he was led from the
court room.
Then laughing in evident amuse-
ment, he fell in step with his guard
and was led back to his prison cell.
Zangara’s sentence of 20 years on
each count, running consecutively
constitutes life imprisonment at Rai-
ford state prison, or hard labor in
Florida’s road camps.
However, should Mayor Anton Cer-
mak of Chicago or Mrs. Joe H. Gill,
prominent society woman, die of
wounds they received from bullets
fired by the assassin at the president-
elect, the state will seek a first de-
gree murder indictment and the death
penalty.
Cermak and Mrs. Gill were report-
ed as continuing to show improvement
at the hospital here.
Today’s sentences were for trying
to kill the presidentelect, SRussell
Caldwell of Cocoanut Grove, Fla.,
Miss Margaret Kruis of Newark, N.
j., and W. J. Stinnot, New York po-
liceman and body guards to Mr.
Roosevelt. The latter three were
slightly wounded by the bullets Zan-
gara’s pistol sprayed into the crowd
surrounding the car occupied by the
president-elect in Bay Front park.

Master Billie McGuire, son of Mr.
and Mrs. W. R. McGuire, celebrated
his fifth birthday Saturday afternoon
from three to five o’clock with a par-
ty given at the beautiful country
home of his grandmother, Mrs. W.
H. McGuire.
After playing games and riding
Billie’s little Shetland pony presented
to him by his aunt, Miss Gladys (it
was one of the many lovely gifts he
received), all gathered around the
dining table in the center of which
was placed the birthday cake with
its five candles and over which hung
numerous balloons of many colors.
Refreshments next claimed atten-
tion. Each guest was served a square
of angel food caks, the delicious cake
having been baked by his grand-
mother, Mrs. McGuire, and an ice
cream cone, followed by all-day suck-
ers.
Billie’s guests were: Nellie Seal,
Bobby Fern Perkins, Mary Jane M'c-
Ever, Richard Rathman, John and
June Brandon, George Edwin and
Dorothy Jean Townsen, Pat Goodwin,
Joe Allen and Joan McGuire. In ad-
dition to the guests were mothers,
grandmothers, aunts and friends.
The favors were balloons. After
thanking their hostess and wishing
little Billie many more happy birth-
days, the guests all took their de-
parture.—Contributed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—Con-
gress today proposed to the states
j that national prohibition after its 13
! years of turbulent trial be done away
by repeal of the 18th amendment.
The house (by a vote of 289 to 121,
15 more than necessary, approved the
repeal resolution passed last week by
the senate. Under it for the first
time in American history, conven-
tions of the people are to decide
whether the states shall ratify or
reject a change in the constitution.
Thirty-six of the 48 states must
ratify to carve the 18th amendment
out of the national charter and sub-
stitute for it a 21st. By its terms,
also, the ratifications must all occur
within seven years from today. With
repeal, the amendment carried a
specific prohibition of importation of
intoxicating liquors into any states
remaining dry.
Immediately after the house vote,
legislative action was started in more
than half a dozen states to make
ready for the conventions. Only one
federal formality remains before the
states have the question fully in their
keeping. The secretary of state must
certify the congressional action to
the governors. They will inform the
legislatures. In many states, how-
ever, the executives already had tak-
en action to rush matters.
The official copy of the repeal res-
olution was delivered to the secre-
tary of state this afternoon and work
was begun immediately to mail out
copies tomorrow.
DENVER, Colo., Feb. 20.—Firm
in his decision to act independently
of authorities and pay the $60,000
ransom demanded, Claude K. Boet-
tcher, multimillionaire father of kid-
naped Charles Boettcher II, ignored
police criticism of his action Monday
and refused to reveal the contents of
notes which he said convinced him his
son was alive and well.
The Denver Post said it had learn-
ed from an employe of the Boettcher-
Newton company, of which the miss-
ing man was a partner, that three
checks, totaling $65,000 and signed by
the elder Boettcher had passed thru
a Denver bank during the morning.
It was presumed, the Post said, the
$65,000 was for ransom and the $5,-
000 for reward which the father post-
ed the night of the abduction.
Boettcher’s signed statement in
which he said “I feel I must and will
act immediately if the opportunity is
presented,” brought from Chief of
Police A. T. Clark a declaration that
if the Boettcher family “concedes to
the demands of the kidnapers and
pays the $60,000 .ransom, it will have
a bad effect on law enforcement not
only in Denver but throughout the
nation.”
“The police feel they can do little
without the cooperation of the Boet-
tcher family,” Clark said.

Two escaped convicts, Truman
Timberlake and Fred Jennings, were
captured here Tuesday just before
noon on the William C. Moore place
west of Lampasas. They are the two
men that were being taken from
Huntsville Sunday evening by Waco
officers for trial at Waco. While en
route to Waco they overpowered the
two officers in the car and took!their
guns and escaped in the car. They
later stole two other cars in Waco
and wrecked them and got out of
Waco about 8:30 Monday evening in
the fourth car they had taken.
The car they left Waco in was
owned by Jimmie Dollins. Mr. Dol-
lins came out from a Waco hospital,
where he had been to see his sister,
and as he walked up to his car the
pair told him to move over that they
were going with him. He told them
there was not room in the car for all
of them and they left in the car and
headed for Temple. Temple offi-
cers were notified and they made
contact with the men as soon as they
reached Temple, but were unable to
stop them. There was a running gun
battle and the bandits’ car was shot
into several times but none of the
bullets stopped the pair. There were
thirty-two bullets that hit the back
of the car.
Sheriff Harvey was called from
Temple and asked to keep a watch
for the car. The local officers went
down to Fourth Street bridge and
blocked the end of the bridge and
when the car drove on the bridge
the officers attempted to stop them,
and they threw the car in reverse and
backed off the bridge. They kept the
car in reverse at a high rate of speed
until they had gone back to the cor-
ner at the home of Albert Brown,
where they abandoned the car and
struck off on foot. They left the
motor running and had their bright
lights in the eyes of the officers who
were unable to see in what direction
they left. The officers began to fire
at the car when they started back up
the street and one tire was punctur-
ed which evidently caused them to
abandon the car.
A posse was soon formed and a
search was begun for the men. They
were discovered as they were at-
tempting to ride the west-bound San-
ta Fe passenger train out of Lam-
pasas. They jumped from the train
and were soon lost in the darkness.
They were next found by Deputy
Long and Kyle Oliver, who had gone
north of town to look for them. They
were fired upon but they had such a
lead that the bullets only seemed to
give them more speed. They then
came to the home of Raymond Mc-
Guire, and when he came to the door
with his gun they ran off towards
the west.
The men were then trailed to the
Lometa road, about two miles west
of town and the bloodhounds from
the State Training School in Gates-
ville were brought here and put on
their; trail. The dogs followed them
for some distance, until the men
crossed a creek and waded up it for
some distance and then got out and
walked on a wire fence to throw the
dogs off their trail.
There were probably fifty or six-
ty men out looking for the pair and
it was known the direction they were
traveling* and when they were cap-
tured they were almost completely
surrounded by those who were out on
the hunt. Mrs. William C. Moore
phoned in that two men answering
the description were seen in the pas-
ture near her home and Deputy Ram
sey went out and got a horse and
rode onto the men, who had started
to run when discovered. They were
unarmed when captured and were
very tired and hungry.
Timberlake had a flesh wound,
which he received when overpower
ing the Waco officers and had an-
other wound which he received when
the local officers opened fire on them
early Tuesday morning.
Waco officers were notified of the
capture of the men and came over
Tuesday afternoon to take them back
to Waco. Mi*. Dollins, owner of the
car, was also here to see about the
car and talk with the prisoners. The
car was a Dodge coupe and was prac-
tically new and had only been driven
a short time. Insurance was carried
on the car by Mr. Dollins.
Local officers are to be congratu-
lated on the capture of these des-
perate men.
After the men were placed in jail
they told the officers that they had
dropped their guns where they were
arrested in the Moore pasture. Depu-
ty Ramsey went back and found the
two guns as they stated, buried under
leaves. The guns were those taken
from the Waco officers and had one
loaded shell each when dropped in
the pasture.
