ky Th BtU fpittct, (p 0 HMDS WwM, Birmingham Officers Re fuse to Divulge Name Of Woman Informer MISS. SHERIFF TO VISIT PERSON HELD Local Officers Abandon Plan to Send a Man to Make Sure if Wagner Is Man Being Held BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Oct. 16. (AP) A man held in the Jefferson County jail on uipicion that he it Kinnie Wagner, the Tennessee gunman and slayer of three officers, was identified by a a woman this afternoon as Wagner, according to offi cers, who refused to disclose the woman's name.

The prisoner denies he is Wag ner, officers say. He is be ing held pending the arrival of Tennessee officers. laxal officers confidently expect that the Identity of the man held In Birmingham will be definitely established today. Sheriff W. J.

Turner, of Green County, last night' wired Bristol police officers that he planned to leave at once for Itirmlnghain and word from Turner should be received here not later than this afternoon. It is thought that the (Jreen County sheriff will reach Birmingham about noon today. Wagner shot and killed one of Turner's deputies last Christmas Hay and Green County has offered a reward of $1,000 for the arrest of the youthful outlaw. ABANDON PLAN Plans of Bristol officers to send a man to Birmingham to identify the Birmingham prisoner were abandoned last night when the message from Sheriff Turner reached Bristol. There now appears a likelihood that If the prisoner Is Wngner that he will lie removed In Mississippi for trial.

Sheriff Turner when here during Wagner's trial early last May said that "Justice sure, and swift" would be meted out to the young gunman If ever he was returned to Green County for trial. The laconic message from Turner yesterday merely said: "Will go to Birmingham to Identify man." The Information that Wagner had been positively Identified by a woman In Birmingham added to the growing conviction here that the man arrested Thursday actually was Klnnle Wagner. Many persons here who have Interested themselves In the rase, however, are of the opinion that Wagner Is not In Birmingham snd has not been there and that the man held ss a suspect there has no connection with the rase' other than a resemblance he hears to the young desperado, INTKNSE INTEREST The most intense Interest wss manifest here yesterday when newspaper account told of the arrest of the man In Birmingham. Various opinions were ex pressed. Most of those to comment on the arrest expreeseil the view that Wsgner Would not be ununited and that In the second placet It was not character-istlc, of hJm to yield passively to arrest under nny conditions anywhere.

Other took the view point that possibly Wagner was forced to sell his weapons to obtain food or that he elected to go unarmed as a precaution against being arrested on a charge of carrying weapons. The officer-In lllnnlnghnm who made the arrest will be eligible to claim the reward of $3,130 If the man really Is Wagner. "The reward has been offered as follow! Green County, Miss, Sullivan County, City of Klngsport, $500; State of Tennessee, 1250.

TOWERS SAYS NAVY The Present Organization Would Be Unable to Stand Stress of War, He Tells Air Board WASHINGTON, Oct. 18. (AD A warning that the existing system within the Navy Department for handling aviation would be unable to stand the stress' of war was sounded today before the President's air board by Commander John Towers, who arranged for and had personal command of the trans Atlantic flight of naval seaplanes In 1821. Opposing both a unified air service and a separate air corps within the Navy, Commander Towers, who was assistant director of naval aviation during the war, said he was firmly convinced "that aviation must remain an Integral part of the main fighting organization of the Navy and that Is the line." "If there Isn't a good fit." he "a little shaping must be dona, but this shaping should be applied to both parts, not to aviation alone." To this end he pro- the appointment of an addi tional assistant secretary of the Navy to be charged with the responsibility for aviation only with the principal duty of co-ordinating the bureaus concerned with aviation.

Bureau UnsHiled Commander Towers said the present difficulty in Navy aviation Is "almost entirely tn the department, although Its efforts extend Into the fleets and air stations." "Further, I believe that regardless of tho merits of the case, the personnel In aviation put almost the entire blame for their grievances, real and Imaginary, upon the Bureau of Navigation," he continued. "I believe there Is also a distinct feeling of disquiet In the Bureau of Aeronautics Itself. Certain Individual oflVera seem to feel that the bureau Is In a position of being burdened with complete responsibili ty without complete authority. Most people outside the Navy do not know of the division of authority within the Navy Department." Commander Towers said It waq necessary to enlangle the snarl ic- garding officers already In aviation so that their Interest In promotion would be protected and to provide for the Influx of officers required to carry put the naval air program. He recommended that a limited number of university graduates be commissioned as ensigns In the reserve force, called to active duty for three years and then retired to the reserves as a means of building up a thoroughly trained reserve.

1. Three dead and another seriously. If not fatally wounded is the toll of a tragedy, which took place here last night. It was a shock to the town snd, certain circumstances are a mystery. Ren Parker shot and killed his wife and year-old baby when he returned home and found they had gone to the home of Mr.

and Mrs. Norman Morrow, across the street, Parker was himself fatally wounded after he had left the Morrow home, bat Just how this occurred has not been definitely ascertained. Morrow is seriously wounded. The tragedy occurred In the northern part of Etowah, In a com munlty known as Cooleytown. The Parker and Morrow families were neighbors and undent cnlo to be good friends.

Mr. Parker' was pipe fitter's help er at the L. A shops, He went home last night about :16 o'clock and not finding his wife and children there, started to look for them He foiind Mrs. aPrker and her baby at the Morrow residence, across the street, and enraged Is said to have drawn a calibre pistol and shot both her and the child, killing; them instantly. Then he turned the gun on Air.

Norman and seriously wounded hlro, I Mortally Wounded leaving the Morrow home, Mr. then returned across the street and as ho) entered his yard fell mortaliy wounded. The clrcum-sir nee of his death was mysterious, It not bolng; definitely determined whether he committed suicide or whether sonifcone else shot him, but weight was irlven the later theory with the finding of a .88 calibre revolver beside him. The gun he used at the Morrow hums was a .82 calibre. Officers are making an investigation.

One man said he was getting out of his automobile about the time of the tragedy when he had seen the flash of a gun and heard three shots. One of the little Parker boys came down the street crying; "Papa, please don't shoot mama any more." A minute later another shot was heard, making four In all. Mr. Morrow was not expected to live through the night, but today-he showed some Improvement and there Is a chance that he may re. cover, although his condition Is critical.

Examination of the body of Mr. Parker falls to reveal any powder-burns, which officers believe, would be In evidence If his bullet wound was self-lnfllcted. The cause of the shooting is a mystory. Mrs, Morrow suffered a breakdown as a result of the tragedy, and was hysterical. She could not make' any statement which would throw light on the shooting.

Two small hoys are left orphans by Mr. Parker. All persons Involved In the tragedy have always had an excellent record and good reputation. Mr. Parker moved to Btowah two years ago from Benion.

He was a member of the Junior Order of United Amerkan Mechanics and the BJue Idge of Masons In his home town. The unfortunate affair has cast gloom over Ktowah.
