WAR HERO BURIED Man With Fine War Record Died Shortly After Being I'ardvned Richmond, Sept. :'i. Full military honors were paid today to Kenneth I1 red Thomas, World War hero who, hastened back from overseas to pay a debt he owed society for committing bigamy, Thomas died at a local hoa- t pit ill several days ago, a free man.. 1 He was pardoned by Governor K. Lee Ti'inkle, a few days previously when it was pointed out to the executive that his war-wracked body had been so decimated by confinement in pris on walls that death was only a mat ter of days. Thomas dreaded dying a prisoner, fearing his body would be turned over to a medical college for.' dissection. Instead of this, he will ; sleep in Legion Square in RivervieW cemetery here. ? i Thomas' record reads like fiction. He went to France in October, 1914,' and enlisted in the foreign legion, to be discharged from the Fench avia tion corps in the following February because of injuries. He enlisted in ?the British royal flying corps in March, was commissioned lieutenant within a month and after conspicuous service along the battle fronts was promoted t^o captain. Thomas was wounded in action in 1916 and was ?confined in a hospital overseas until May, 1917. He was invalided to Canada and after a time was detain ed to the aerodome at Toronto. In July he was sent to Fort Worth, Texas, to assist in training American airmen and in January, 1918, was ordered to report again for duty over seas. He claimed to have missed his boat at New York. Then began the escapade that led to his violating the marriage laws. He and several officers went on a lark that started at New York and wound up at Norfolk with a party at a hotel , at which several women were present. Three days later Thomas awoke to find he had mar ried one of the women. He already had a wife living in Canada. He -was sentenced to five years' imprison ment, but escaped after several months and "unlisted at Philadelphia in a British machine gun outfit. He was sent overseas immediately and in October he wrote Governor West moreland Davis that he would re turn and finish his sentence as soon J as the war was over. Thomas was ' again wounded, decorated with the British Distinguished Service Medal and after another long stay in a hos pital, wtt* discharged from the mili tary service. He surrendered to the Canadian authorities on September IK, iv?22, laying he was wanted here as a fugitive from justice. He was returned to prison and often express od the dcsirq to live long enough to pay the state all he owed. His one desire was to be free to demonstrate he did not violate the law intention ally. Several efforts were made to have him pardoned but to no avail. The funeral services were conduct ed today by the chaplains of the five local posts of the American Legion. Uniformed men acted as pallbearers and "taps" was sounded by comrades in arms who declared Thomas died as gamely as he had lived. A man may legally spank his wife under certain .circumstances, , in Georgia, according to a ruling made by the superior court of that state.

MYERS, Proprietor HISTORIC MARKKRS To Br Placed on Bridge* So Totirlstv May Learn Columbia, Sept. 2G:-r-Pointing out . of Jill historical spots along state' highways in South Carolina l>y appro- ) print ?? signs has been determined upon by Samuel McOowan, chief high- J way commissioner, the work to be' done by Robert it. Thomas, who has been serving as engineer in charge of records and editor of The Highway Bulletin, co-operating with A. S. Sal ley, Jr., secretary of the South Caro lina Historical commission. Together with the placing of ap propriate signs-constructed of inex pensive material rather than costly tablet*- Mr. Thomas will have charge of the placing at the end of bridges the nanUvs of the streams traversed. Mr. McOowan's decision to indicate the historical spots came as a result of a trip to Charleston, he having returned yesterday, during which he noticed a Francis Marion cannon mounted, on the rail of a bridge over Four Hole swamp. In a memorandum to Mr. Thomas prepared yesterday the commissioner stated: "On my way to Charleston a couple of days ago, I noticed the Revolutionary cannon mounted on the rail of the bridge over Four Hole swamp and my attention was called to the fact that, while it was very appropriate to have the gun there, nine people out of ten who saw it would simply wonder what it was do ing there and not for a moment realize its great historical Value.. "Which in turn suggested to me that it. would be a mighty good thing for us to put some kind of marker at each end of the bridge over our various rivers and particularly to point out by some brief sign all his torical spots along our various high ways. "Of course it will not. be possible j to mark these places in a way that j we would iike to because that would cost entirely too much money; but 1 think that at a nominal expense we could at least make a start, i ac cordingly request that you please get in communication at your earliest convenience with A. S. Salley, Jr., secretary, South Carolina Historical commission, for the- purpose of get ting this project under way as soon as we can. "Pursuant thereto, your connection with the state highway department will not be discontinued as originally planned."
