Model-Living Pays Off For Escaped Alabama Convict

By BURNS BENNETT UP Staff Correspondent MONTGOMERY, Ala., Nov. 26 (UP)—Ten years of quiet and model living paid off today for James R. Collins, 36, who became a respected citizen of Doylestown, Pa. after escaping from the Alabama prison where he was serving a life sentence. Gov. James E. Folsom yesterday withdrew a fugitive warrant against Collins and left the reformed man free to come to Alabama to seek a full pardon from the State Pardon and Parole Board. State Prison Director Frank Boswell, recommending withdrawal of the warrant, said "the environment of a prison is no place for a man like that." Boy Made Good "The boy has undoubtedly made good," Boswell said. "He has made good friends, established a business and behaved like a good citizen." In 1928, when Collins was only 17, he was given a life term for acting as "lookout" for a gang that robbed a bank in Citronelle, Ala. The leader of the gang, who shot the bank president to death during the holdup, was electrocuted soon after the robbery and slaying. Fled Prison In 1936 Collins fled the prison and disappeared. Several weeks ago he was rearrested in Doylestown, traced through correspondence with his aging parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Collins of Mobile, Ala. In the meantime Collins had settled down in Doylestown, developed a contracting business, married, became the father of two children and established himself as a substantial citizen. When Collins' neighbors in Doylestown first heard of his rearrest they first thought it must be a mistake, then came to his aid with a flood of letters and telegrams to authorities. In withdrawing the fugitive warrant, Folsom said he was following the wishes of parties concerned with the bank robbery, including several members of the jury which convicted Collins and relatives of the dead bank president.

CORAL GABLES— COUNTRY CLUBBER By GORDON TAYLOR

Sometimes there is an intangible feeling of electric gaiety pervading the walls of this domain. The night of the Halloween party had that spirit of a mardi gras, the Circus party had its feverishness, and last to tingle was the Fashion Show that Billie Harting pulled off last Thursday. The models felt that they had given their fellow members something extra special, and so they had. It must be admitted that the latest in fashions were predominately in the audience, but those on the model board were composite pictures of Coral Gables. It appeared that the atmosphere of the "show" was PRIDE, Pageant Jeopardized This being the time of football and head colds, it should be mentioned that our Christmas pageant seemed jeopardized when Sylvia Furlong was taken sick. But she rallied and came to the wonderful cocktail party that the Cassels and the Arnolds gave Saturday night. But, unfortunately, Mary Harrison-will be confined to her sick bed another week. John Hallfax went through an operation that kept him from putting the last signature on the picture of the club presented to Phil Laurence by all the members of the board to serve with him during 1947. Both Phil and John tell me they are going to get together for that final John Henry, so here's the reminder. You can look for a new set-up in the dining room menu in the near future. The Board felt that a new suggestion presented to them would meet with wide approval by you members, so it's in the works. Tonight you will have the pleasure of dressing up. Let us hope there is enough snap in the air to make those formal clothes look their best, as the committee, Mr. and Mrs. Leslie Davis, and Mr. and Mrs. Jack Pressley, are expecting their party to be the nicest of the fall season. The committee insisted upon the cold sliced turkey and ham for the buffet as that was the menu beginning the Wednesday buffets one year ago tomorrow. The bridge group has announced that because Thursday night is Thanksgiving, the two games scheduled for that day have been changed to Friday night Nov. 28. The Duplicate group and Friday night for the Contract group. Incidently, the Friday night Contract group, which has been meeting on Thursday nights for the duration of the football season, will remain on their former Friday night schedule after the change this week. The winners of the Monday night Duplicate group this past week were Mrs. William Jeffers and Mrs. Dwight Ozom, (N-S) and Mrs. C. McGuire and Mr. Hugh Jackson (E-W). The two winners of the same group on Thursday, November 20th were Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Tawes. Mrs. C. G. Young took first place on Tuesday with the Contract group and our new member, Mr. James E. Neary took first place on Thursday, November 20th. Bill Gorman reports that the Men's Championship Tournament which is in progress on the Gran-ada Golf course is going into the second and third rounds this week. The winners of the first round were Dr. A. Leo Volmer, H. B. Wheeler, Mr. Shiner, Lyle Roberts, Bill Gorman, Gordon Taylor, J. Erb and A. C. Randolph. Those who will be playing for consolation are Larry Grimes Jr., J. E. Curry, J. Campbell, Frank Howard, Frank Spencer, Bob Sissler and Dick Wallace. Ann Randolph says that since the Women's Tournament has been played and won, there will be very little activity until after the first of the year.

Weaker Sex Shows Fishing Strength

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (UP)—J. K. Davis tried to discourage his wife from accompanying him on a week-end fishing trip to the Sardis Lake reservoir. "It's a tough place to fish and no place for a woman," Davis told her. But Mrs. Davis went along, using an old cane pole she rigged up herself. She caught a limit of crappie in two hours, and five bass, the biggest of which was six pounds.
