Grandchild Is Born Dead Tragedy Mars 'Second Life9 Of Buntins Alias Palmers ORANGE, Nov. 27 OP Tragedy and bitterness tonight came into the life that Thomas C. Buntin and Betty McCuddy created 22 years ago when they forsook family and wealth. A daughter was born dead to their own Elizabeth, one of their six children. The masquerade love story of Mr.

and Mrs. Thomas D. Palmer, as they were known here, was revealed yesterday. Bitterly, Mrs. Palmer blamed the headlines and publicity for the baby's death.

Elizabeth, 21, wife of Marine Repal triated GI Shuns Parents Of Red Buddy BIG STONE GAP, Nov. 27 ijpt Cpl. Edward S. Dickenson, the American soldier who at first refused and then reversed his position to accept repatriation from a Red Korean prison camp, today declined to talk to the parents of a soldier who still refuses to come home. Mr.

and Mrs. E. A. Bell came here today from Hillsboro, to question Dickenson about their son, Cpl. O.

G. Bel, one of the 22 American prisoners still in Communist hands. Dickenson was at a neighbor's home when the 3ells arrived. He refused to come to the door when called. When Bell asked just to look at him, Dickenson was quoted as saying: "I cannot make any statement and do not want to see him." Army Silences Him It was not known why he refused Three Alabama Negroes, including a 17-year-old youth from Montgomery, are scheduled to die in Kilby Prison's electric chair on Jan.

22 following action taken yesterday by the Alabama Supreme Court. The state's highest tribunal set the date for the triple-execution after denying petitions for re-hearings in each of the three cases. Scheduled to die are Jeremiah William Burton in Korea, was taken to the hospital today. Her baby had been expected momentarily when her parents story was revealed. Mrs.

Palmer had been with her daughter in the hospital constantly. She had agreed to pose for pictures after Orange Police Chief Raymond Sanders asked photographers at the hospital to "let" the family alone. In extreme shock. Mrs. Palmer was hospitalized.

Elizabeth was reported in good condition. Milt Turner, a reporter for the Beaumont Enterprise, said Mrs. Palmer believed the publicity of the past two days had caused her granddaughter's death. Nobody here knew of the past life of the Palmers until the Nashville Tennessean told of it in a copyrighted story. Palmer left a wife and three sons in Nashville.

The middle-aged couple had refused to discuss the life that they left or the life that they had led for 22 years. 50 Negro Soldiers Pay $1,573 Fines In Bus 'Disorders' COLUMBIA, S. C. Nov. 27 A whole busload of Negro soldiers, driven en masse to jail after one of them sat by a white girl.were fined a total of $1,573 on disorderly conduct charges today.

Police said they arrested 50 soldiers, including 2nd Lt. Austell Sherard, when they were called to investigate a disturbance on a Ft. Jackson-Columbia bus last night. They ordered the bus driver to take the load of soldiers to the police station. John I.

Rice, eityjudge, said tne white cirl testified she asked the sat by her. He refused, she said and other soldiers joined in the discussion. The bus driver called police. Policemen D. A.

Neely and J.D. Worthy reported the Negro officer interfered with them when they tried to find the soldier who touched off the disturbance. State law requires racial segregation on buses. The officer was fined $200 for disorderly conduct and for interfering with police. Forty-five soldiers were fined $25.50 each for disorderly conduct, one was fined $125.50 and the other one $100 on the same charge.

Charges against two were dismissed. Ft. Jackson authorities, commenting on the incident, said: "When military personnel go off the post they become subject to local laws. the Army expects its personnel, whether on the post! or off, to be law-abiding at allj i 8 ROSIN'S GIGANTIC a i Reeves, 17, Montgomery; Marti Smarr, 27, Eutaw. and Will Hardie, 53, of Tuscaloosa.

Reeves was given his death sentence on conviction of a charge of raping a white woman in this city on Nov. 10, 1952. Reeves was apprehended only few hours after the brutal attack on the woman, his sixth victim, and readily admitted Jhe crime of that date. Later, he signed statements saying "he had committed the other crimes." His arrest by sheriff deputies and highway patrolmen ended a series of attacks which had terrorized Montgomery for a 16-month period. Reeves was indicted by the Montgomery grand jury on six cases of rape.

atterriDted raDe and burglary, but was tried but for one cae. Smarr Killed Child Mattie Smarr was given the death sentence for killing five-year-old Ivory Posey at his home near Eutaw in September, 1952. The woman was also indicted for killing two other Posey children, brutally beating a fourth and kidnapping the fifth child, e-m on h-o 1 Cullen Mae Posey. In court she testified that it was a "psychotic" desire for motherhood that led her to commit the crime against her relatives' children. She was tried only for the death of the oldest child.

Hardie was given the death penalty from Tuscaloosa County for the fatal shooting of John Foster King, a member of the Tuscaloosa Police Department. The only chance the three Negroes now have to escape the electric chair lies in the hands of Gov. Gordon Persons, who will give each of them if they desire a clemency hearing shortly before the execution date. If the executions are held i scheduled, it will mark the first time that electrocutions will begin at 7 p.m. on the day of execution.

The 1953 legislature enacted a law setting 7 p.m. as the time for all future electrocutions. In the past executions have always been held at 12:01 a.m. on the day of the execution. Students Tell Optimists Views On Modern South Six Montgomery honor students told the Optimist Club here vM.
