Prisoners Develop Difficult Jargon Kalelgh. N. C.?-It Isn't exactly a part of their job, but criminologist* at state's prison havo begun to form a crime glossary of uuderworld words and phrases used by North Carolina convicts. f The lexicography isn't official. The slang picked up at random during interviews with prisoners Is merely jotted down in note book*. Hut. as Oscar Pitts, acting director of the penal division, points out, the study may help criminologists in understanding "the language of the convicts." For Instance here's the way one convict describes his prison record to the official interviewing him: ' "They caught me on the heave end sent me to the wind swept desert. I 1 got to be honors. I waited for a parole from Governor Green and took it on the back stretch under the gun." Jargon? * . Not to almost any of the state's 8,700 convicts, not to Pitts, Not to Warden H. H. Honeycutt, of central pris- ] on. "To put in into English," Pitts grinned, "the prisoner being interviewed ! meant be was caught opening a safe. j He was convicted and sent to the , Caledonia farm?that's the wind , swept desert. He got to be an honor grade prisoner and, in the spring, es- , caped from a gang during a rest per- . lod while he was being watched by an armed guard."

Mrs. Mullican was called to a neigh bor'a telephone yesterday and a woman who said she was a hospital attendant gave word her husband bad been badly Injured. Then In a few minutes the neighbor brought word a second call had reported Mullican dead. Mrs. Mullican collapsed. A doctor was called. Amid the confusion Mullican returned home*?an Injured. The woman remained in a coma for more than nine hours and although she was somewhat better, today physicians said she was not entirely out of danger. Hospital attendant!} said the call was not made from there and Mullican said he had no Idea who might be responsible. In Cherokee county, W. H. Keenan was in a parked car with another woman, near the bridge over Broad river, when bis wife appeared. A rural policeman tried to disarm the wife, who threw a small pocket knife six feet and its blade hit her husband in the throat, so that he died later. The wife was Jailed and the coroner's jury ordered her held for murder. Before he died, the husband told the sheriff he did not want her prosecuted. George Stevens, 64, died of an infection, in a Chicago hospital, that the doctors says developed after a circular saw with which he was cutting a piece of wood, ripped out a nail and shot It into his body under one arm. , - BMW? ?, /mSSSSSSSSSSmSSmSSmmSmmSmmSSSSSmSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSmmSmS I NOT I C E~] A twa per cent discount will be allowed on 1936 taxes paid during the month of September only.
