Overton, the former county court clerk under death sentence for the murder of Judge W. T. Lawler, was shot to death in a Birmingham suburb last night by a sheriff's posse sent out to capture him and six other prisoners who had escaped from the county jail early in the day. In a bat tle between the posse and the prison ers, Tony Malino, another convicted murderer, also was killed, and J. L. EVENING, HARRISBURG Sfißfa TELEGRAPH MARCH 21, 1917. Latham, held on a forgery charge, was seriously wounded. The other con victs escaped. About fifty shots were exchanged during the fight, which took place in a briar thicket near Birmingham Col lege. The poosse, sent six deputies to round them up. Overton and his com panions at first attempted to escape, and then at a command to halt began to fire. The battle was scarcely more sen sational or dramatic than the Jail delivery to which it was the sequence. The seven men, three of them under death sentencs for murdr and three others held on murder charges, in a concerted revolt overpowered and dis armed the jail guards, tumbled into an automobile waiting nearby and were gone before an alarm could be given. Within a few minutes armed posses were sent out in all directions and an all-day man-hunt through tli? city and the surrounding country followed.

Dutch Press Urges Arming of Vessels Against Submarines By Associated Press The Hague, March 21.—The question of the status of armed merchantmen continues to be the predominating sub ject of discussion in the Dutch news papers. The Handelsblad urges that Dutch merchantmen should be t>rmed on the ground that conditions have al tered since the government's decision at the outbreak of the war that such ships could not enter Dutch ports. The papers says: "There is no good reason for the gov ernment to refuse to recognize the right of foreign merchantmen. Ameri cans for Instance, to carry the means of defense against unlawful attack. The refusal of Holland to recognize such a right is more unfriendly toward America than a modification of the Dutch standpoint would be unfriendly toward Germany.
