Posse Kills Murderer
of Judge in Battle
With Escaped Convicts
By Associated Press
Birmingham, March 21.
David D. 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.

ter Zeitung, quoting Polislt papers. Un

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.
NOT TO MISDRAND GOODS
By Associated Press
Washington, March 21. Charges

misbranding their products as silk
were dismissed by the Federal Trade
Commission to-day on assurances from
the manufacturers that the practice
