Cop, Robber Games
Entf In Realify
SAVANNAH, Ga.; Aug. 27.—
(UP)— Ten years ago, .limmy
Siller and Harold Humphries
used to play cops and robbers
in the back yards of Savannah.
Jimmy, always dead serious
about their games, grew up to
be a city policeman.
Early yesterday Eitler and
his riding partner got a call to
investigate reports that a pair
of escaped convicts were holed
up in a second-story apartment
here.
Sit lei' sent his partner to
cover the rear of the apartment
while he drew, his ' gun and
barged in the front door. The
pair of convicts was there and
he caught them cold.
One of the convicts was
Humphries. Apparently he had
taken his childhood games seri-
ously, too. lie had escaped Mon-
day from a prison work gang
where he was serving time for
auto theft.
20 Year Loan Brings
Threats To Attorney
HOUSTON, Aug 27. (UP) —
Laurence R. Hendricks, 69. was
sent to Dallas to answer charg-
es of sending a threatening let-
ter through tin1 mail to W. L.
Crawford. Dallas attorney.
At U. S. Commissioners Court,
Hendricks brandished his cane,
spouted quotations and said the
whole thing was u joke.
He said that he was an engi-
neer. that he had loaned Craw-
ford $500 20 years ago and that
now he "needed it." He said sev-
eral letters asking for the mon-
ey were unanswered, so he sent
the threatening letter.
Crawford apparently didn't
care for the letter. He turned it
over to the U. S. Commissioner
in Dallas, who called in the FBI.
I'TU agents picked Hendricks up
here.
In parting Hendricks baffled
his interrogators with the com-
ment.. 'This has nothing to do
with the big murder case in
which I was a principal in 1908
—or 1910. That's all settled."
