MODERN VALJEAN GETS LIFE TERM

IN WIFE MURDER MIAMI, Okla.. Decl 7—UP—Jack

Baldridge, 55, a widely publicized fugitive who for two decades lived as a respected citizen, was 'sen-

tenced to two life terms in the Oklahoma State Penitentiary today on a plea of guilty to charges of murdering his young wife, Agnes, and J. W Williams, last week.

Baldridge thus will return to the pententiary from which he escaped from a life sentence imposed in 4.---

1915 for killing an uncle, John How- ard.

The fugitive fled in 1917 to Mark- ed Tree, Ark., where like Jean Valjean, history’s famed fugitive, he became a respected citizen. He confessed his true identity in 1939 because he thought he was dying. He recovered and was returned to the penitentiary. In 1942, Gov. Leon C. Phillips paroled him in response to public demand.

Sheriff Dee Waters said Bald- ridge related that his 25-year-old wife fired the first shot at him after he had beaten her and that he killed her and Williams, 50, a painter, who appeared at the house on a visit during the argument.

are being completed for the Sun- day morning collection. All Jay- cees and volunteer truck drivers will assemble at the Springer Coal Co. office at the fooi of Chestnut street at 9 a.m. Sunday and the collection will start immediately.

Stressing the importance of all citizens placing the scrap paper at their curbs in time for an early morning collection. W. E. O’Neal, Jaycee president, repealed, “the paper collected here Sunday might make the difference between vic- iroy and defeat in some action on the war front.”

Springer Coal Co. has offered the use of its scales and office as a general headquarters for the day, and from this point all col- lections will be routed and super- vised. It also is planned to hold a truck at headquarters for emer-

gency operations. Firms and indviduals offering

the use of their trucks are; City of Wilmington, four trucks; Wil- mington Paper Stock Co., three trucks; Sunshine Laundry, Mac- Millan and Camercn. Tidewater Power Co.. E. W. Godwin Sons. Carolina Printing and Stamp Co., Queen City Coach Co., Thrifty Stores, Gerald S t o k 1 e y, and Broadfoot Iron Works, one truck each.

Four city employes who have volunteered to drive city trucks are Roosevelt Bosewell, Aradell Bosewell, Harlee Durden and H. R. Hicks.

Two Boy Scouts, Donald Lee and

Thomas MacRae. yesterday volun- teered their services In placing small placards, publicizing the drive, in stores, banks, cafes and the postoffice.

It again emphasized that paper should be placed in boxes, car-

tons, or tried in bundles, and plac- ed on the porch or curb where it can be seen from the street.

Due to the size of the territory to be covered and the shortage of time and gasoline, it will be impossible to cover any area more than once. The city and adjacent suburbs will be covered as this is an all-out drive.
