CONDEMNED FLORIDA
DESPERADO BASES
APPEAL, CONVERSION
MIAMI. Fla., Aug., 8. (/P)—Religi
ous conversion holds out a hope for
life to a condemned Floridian.
James Horace Alderman, 50-year
old desperado sentenced to die
August 17. for killing two coast
guardsmen and a secret service
man, has appealed to President
Hoover for executive clemency on
the grounds that he has become
converted to the Christian faith
and has in turn converted scores of
other criminals.
Alderman apparently lost a years
legal battle to escape hanging
when the United States Supreme
court in June refusi* io take a
hand in his case.
While attorneys were fighting
for his life in three courts, Aider
man declares that he led regular
' prayer meetings in the Jacksonville
jail and gave spiritual relief to his
cell mates.
Alderman’s killing of three gov
ernment operatives climaxed a
long career of crime that had as its
background both Florida coasts as
well as the Everglades.

"SHE," LATEST DICE
IS FOR ENERGETIC
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va., Aug., 8,
j (/P)—Sun baked bathing suits and
|beach pajamas is the costume, the
sands are the dance floor, and the (
fastest time known to the terpsi- I
chorean art, the tempo for “the j
shag” is the latest test for the en- j
ergy of summer colonists.
While classified as a dance, the
“shag” essentially requires energy j
rather than grace. It appraently is j
the embodiment of all the move- j
jments of the Highland fling and j
the late Charleston. Unlike the
| Charleston, the feet of the dancers
'are not lifted.
CAR CRUSHED HIM
Leonard Rich, employed by the
Alaska Road Commission, Fair- j
banks, was instantly killed last
week when he was pinned under
an auto truck 43 miles above
Chatanika on the Steese road.
The machine plunged over a 30
foot bank, reported the News
Miner. C. A. McGahan was in- I
jured but Mike Hunt, who also j
was in the car, escaped unhurt. .
