Evidence Said To Link

Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 7 (ANP)
—Police officers and chinch
leaders hero are hopeful of an
nouncing shortly a solution of the
startling shotting and robbery of
Presiding Elder O. Sh< rman on
Jun ■ 7. The prominent pastor was
robbed of $2,200 belonging to
Shorter college AME institution
here, and then shot by the rob
ber . as he was conveying the j
""oney to his home at 802 H;ckory ;

tccompliees. The latter two men
\r ■ in jail, but Burns is a liberty
urdev a .?5,000 bond. All three are
residents o fFordyce, Ark, a town
tar little Reck.
There is a myst'eal quality to
th.i story of the hold-up and at
tempted assasination, with rami
fications into church circles which
liav0 kept the case upon the ton
gues of nearly everyone here and
throughout the stat The money
was part of an educational fund
which had been raised during the
presid’ng elder's coueil held at
Bethel chruch in North Little
Rock. The funds were turned over
to Rv. Sherman who is chairman
ol th finance committee of th-'
school for transportation to his
homo for safe keeping at the close
of the evening meeting, and were
to have been banked o nthe follow
ing day.
As Rev. Sherman drove into the
dr’veway of his home, cne of the
two ran who had been following
the car took the grip containing
th3 mdney from him at the point
of a gun and fired point blank
at his head. The bullet entered one
side of his neck emerging on the,
other side, but the plucky minis

Ak-Sar-Ben has arranged for
this all-week night program to
chase about Little Rock Street*
until he lost them.
Three weeks later a cldc devel
eped which led to the arrest of
Burns, Ollison and Duckworth. The
latter two confessed that they had
plotted with Burns to commit the
robbery and testified that the mon
ey had been turned ever to him
after their escape.
Prof. Burns Is a principal in a
rural school nar Fordyce nad has
been r. prominent layman in the
AME church. He was a delegate
to tho last AME General confer
ence held in New York in 193(5,
He had for some years been a
professed friend cf Rev. Sherman,
anil was u former student at the
school. These connections are all
eged to have given him an insight
into the methods of handling the
school’s money- He is alleged to
havo hired OlUson, an expert
chauffeur and Duckworth, a casual
laborer, to corry cut the details
of the crime, promising them a
char, cif the proceeds they said in
their confession.
Observers close to school aril
church authorities say that it is
hoped th: trial w:,ll clear up cer
tain peculiar angles of the case.
Tho question aris s as to who
tipped off Burns that Rev. Sher
man had custody of the money. On
ly presiding elders were inside the
meeting at the. There is curiosity
also where Burns, who was sa:d to
bo financially embarrassed, was
ablo to raise the $300 to pay the
bonding company which went his
bail, the $150 cash which he paid
his lawyer and the $50 which it is
reported h© paid to secure h:s re
lease from jail before the formal
charges wer© filed against him.
IBishop Tookes, prelate of the
Episcopal church has pledged the
powr of his office and the re
sources of the connection to clari
fy th© matter and if possible to
secure the return of Shorter col
lege’s funds. Efforts are being
mado to get the case set for the
next court session on August 22.
