"MAN HELD FOR KNOWLEDGE OF PRISON BREAK," Iola Register. March 26, 1932. Page 1. ---- H. Mack Said By Boston Authorities To Know of Leavenworth Riot ---- BABY CLUE SCOUTED ---- Police Think Prisoner Knows Nothing About Lindy Jr. ---- Boston, Mar. 26. (AP) - Belief that Harr W. Mack of Hartford, Conn. in custody here after extradition from Canada in connection with an automobile case, knows more about the Leavenworth prison riot last year than about the Lindbergh baby kidnapping, was expressed by federal officers who questioned him today.
Mack told police, after his return from Canada, that he could find the missing baby if he could have a half hour's talk with Betty Gow, its nurse. He also said he could give important information about the prison riot.
Deposition Obtained. Federal officers questioned him at length and obtained a 32-page deposition concerning the riot. Although this was not made public, the officers said they believed that Mack knew considerable about who smuggled the ammunition used by the rioters into the prison. Either Mack was the man, they believed, or knew the person who took the weapons into the penitentiary. The officers, however, were skeptical of any knowledge which Mack professed of the Lindbergh case. They believed this claim was merely the result of his having come originally from the same town in Scotland from which the Lindbergh nurse came.
Purple Gang Indicated. Mack claimed that his information about the kidnapping case came from members of the notorious "Purple" gang of Detroit, with whom he was supposed to have served time in a jail in Windsor, Canada.
The man was extradited from Canada on a charge of jumping bail of $500 under which he was being held after being convicted of larceny. The federal officials, after questioning him today, filed a retainer to prevent his release from custody in the event he should be freed of the other charge.
New Jersey officials were notified of his claims in connection with the kidnaping but no officers arrived today to question him and it was not believed that any credence would be placed in his story.
Topeka, Mar. 26. (AP) - Dan B. Cowie, Assistant United States district attorney for Kansas, said today that Harry W. Mack, under arrest in Boston, was being detained as a witness for the government in the case growing out of the bloody break from Leavenworth federal penitentiary last December in which three convicts lost their lives.
Cowie said Mack had been in jail at Windsor, Canada, with Harold Fontaine, former Leavenworth convict, who is under indictment for the alleged smuggling of firearms and dynamite into the penitentiary.
Talk with Fontaine. The assistant district attorney said Mack was not under investigation in connection with the penitentiary break but that he had talked with Fontaine. Cowie declined to reveal the nature of the information Mack is supposed to have obtained from Fontaine.
According to Cowie, the two men were together in the Windsor jail last February. Cowie said Mack, a native of Scotland, was awaiting deportation by Canadian authorities at the time.
Commenting upon Mack's claim to have obtained information about the Lindbergh baby kidnapping from members of the "Purple" gang of Detroit, Cowie said Fontaine had some "connections" in Detroit. Cowie said, however, he had no definite information as to just what the "connections" were. He said Fontaine was released from the Leavenworth penitentiary last November after serving sentence for smuggling aliens from Windsor to Detroit.
Extradition Sought. Fontaine's extradition is to be sought by the government at a hearing in Windsor next Tuesday. Four Leavenworth convicts are under indictment in connection with the sensational break, in which three others lost their lives and T. В. White, former warden, held as hostage, was shot in the arm.
V. A. Carlson, former guard, also is under indictment on a charge of smuggling money into the penitentiary. Federal authorities have declined to reveal whether he is alleged to have any connection with the break.
The men are expected to be tried next month either in Topeka or Kansas City, Kas.

The honest truth
My name is Taylor and this is the story of what I did, and why I did it. I had a friend named Este, who I met every Tuesday to chat.
One night, she talked about her suspicions about her husband, talking about the lipstick on his mouth, and the jewelry on their joint account. She decided to call him out.
I am a woman who speaks her mind so I said, "If it's true, do you have the money for a divorce? A survival plan if he tries something?", "Honestly no," she replied, "But I have the rage of 50 bulls."
I was worried but thought nothing of it. Later, leaving the Olive Garden she said,
" Don't worry Taylor. I'll be fine.", but I was still scared because, if that man can cheat, he can do just about anything.
Next Tuesday, I wait at a nice table with two glasses of wine for the two of us. After an hour, she never came. I obviously was worried so I tried her cell, nothing, texting her, nothing. So, I left and went to my car with a plan.
I arrived at her house about twenty minutes later and knocked on her door. Out came her husband, who looked suspiciously worried. "Hi Taylor! Why are you here so late?", to which I replied, "Is Este here?"
He looked like a cartoon character when you ask them their crush. "No, uh... I don't know where she is..." I was shocked. "Oh. Alright! I'll go back to Olive Garden to see if she's there."
In the car I quickly drove away with wide eyes. I'm not a liar so I went back to the restaurant and, of course, she wasn't there.
I called her husband, Mark again to double-check and got voice mail. It was 10:00 at night. He had to be asleep, right?
2
The denial
The next morning, I woke up to a voice mail from Mark, saying that if Este isn't back by 7:00 tonight, he'd file a missing person's report.
I groaned. Why did this have to happen? The stress was giving me a headache. I got out of bed, and made scrambled eggs for breakfast.
The thought of work at a time like this was awful, so I called in sick. Hartford Library doesn't need me today, right?
Not being at work gave me time to investigate what was happening in the Thatcher house. So I talked to Este's sister, Eve.
"Have you noticed anything... off about Mark?", she confusedly replied, "No, not at all! Why?", panicking, I said, "Oh no reason!". Well that sure helped.
Not sure what to do, I went to see a movie.
It was 2020, so I had to wear a mask. After the movie, I had some lunch. And stalked the Thatcher's Instagrams.
3
The clues
After lunch, I drove past their house again. Mark's truck has new tires! And a woman moved in! This can't be real right?
On the news, I saw a report. Este Thatcher, 29, missing. He filed it. I sighed, realizing nobody would believe me, so I invited Eve over for dinner to explain.
Before she arrived I made spaghetti and meatballs and a tiramisu for dessert. Then waited.
She arrived just on time. 6:30. "Hi Taylor!! Thanks for inviting me! I needed to get away after hearing my sister was missing."
We had some wine and chatted before I brought up my suspicions. "Look, I know you might not believe me but please listen." And explained everything.
"Oh my god. What can I do? I need to help.",
to which I just said, "Help me prove that he did it."
4
The helping hand
Eve, now knowing everything was determined to help me. I appreciated it because, if I had someone on my side, things could go how I want it.
She stayed in the guest room that night, she couldn't be alone. Which I heavily understood.
For the next week or so, we regularly visited Mark, pretending to be consoling him through the pain of his missing wife. We saw right through him.
Through the visits, we learned that she confronted him as soon as she got home after she met me last, "Said she needed to leave to think things through", and that was the last he heard from her.
We decided to talked to the neighbor, Betty, who had a really tragic story. "I saw Mark put something of Este's size in the back of his truck!", upon hearing that, Eve loudly gasped.
We left soon after, shocked. "You don't think he..." Eve asked quietly on the drive home. "I do." I stated. The rest of the drive was silent.
I couldn't sleep that night, knowing exactly what he did. It was insane.
At around 11:24, I got up and found Eve crying. She knew too. "I don't understand! That stupid Aimee can't be better than my sister!"
"I agree.", I said pulling her in for a hug. No woman deserves this.
5
The sadness
I woke up and realized we fell asleep on the floor while we were talking, in denial and deep sadness. She was still asleep, and I was still hugging her. What do I do?
After about twenty minutes, she woke up. "Finally, you're awake.", "What happened?", she asked. A half second after that I saw the look of realization on her face.
"Oh.", she blurted, "Right.", You could hear every bit of sadness in her voice. It was heartbreaking.
After that, we both went to work. Me, to the library, Eve, to Starbucks. I worked my usual shift, from 7:00 to 4:00 and left.
I got home, laid on the couch, and watched Friends for a while. My favorite show would help.
Forty minutes later, Eve arrived. "Hi. I just had a long day. Ooh! Is that Friends?", she sat on the couch and watched with me.
After two hours, we got dinner. Takeout from McDonald's. We talked about things other than Este for a while. It was nice.
Later, we went to our bedrooms and I looked at my phone for a while. While doing that I made up a plan. I wouldn't do it. But would I?
Slowly, I fell asleep. My dream was about the plan. Why was it?
6
The plan
I woke up at 6:30. I had to tell Eve the plan. I would be crazy not to, but even crazier if I did.
"Eve... Eve!", "It's so early, Taylor... What's wrong?", "I know how to get justice." She instantly sat up. "... Go on."
"When I was fifteen, my father had me get a boating licence, and I used to be a maid so I can cover up a scene!", "Are you saying what I think you are?", "Why wouldn't I?"
7
The crime
I waited till midnight, I drove to the house, Stabbed about 3-4 times. Now the clean up I've been waiting for.
I take him out to the lake, and out on my boat. We don't go very far before I stop. I look around. No one can see this. No one's there, so I throw him in.
I sigh, what's done is done.
When I arrived home I was greeted by a smiling Eve. "I made a cake!", I guess justice really is sweet.
We ate the cake in celebration. Este was free. We had nothing to worry about.
And Mark, was rotting at the bottom of a lake. After all, no body, no crime.
The end

December 8, 1975 - Hartford Courant Photo: The duo is designed in indigo blue, brushed, reversible Chinese made denim by Albert Capraro who likes to show these with matching visors. Left, the three-piece jumpsuit with quilted vest and cotton shirt is finished with a matching pouch purse. The tow-piece romper suit is cuffed and hooded and has a front button skirt to match which is not shown.
Capraro's Spring Collection Will Be Shown Here This Week
Albert Capraro's message for his spring collection indicates a much slimmer look, the fullness controlled, yet achieving a soft and mobile effect. Capraro, you'll remember, is Betty Ford's favorite designer into larger headlines than he was already making. Waistlines, like length, says Capraro, are a personal option. His jumpsuit, he feels is an important way of emphasizing the new new vertical feeling…..both for daytime and evening. Daytime he favors Chinese denim and polished cotton. In the same vein he has topped the one-piece romper which has met with immediate success with a flowered wrap skirt for versatility. In stressing his costume concept, Capraro mixes a play of strong colors with flower shades in a jumpsuit, dress, long shirt-dress, with a quilted sleeveless vest which can be interplayed with every part…even to a quilted pouchbag on a belt. Believing in a softer, fragile look……better, he says for formal evening, he says for formal evening, he designs a low-cut black polyester crepe de chine dinner dress and in a dramatic moment enveloped it in huge fringed shawl. Ben Burke will be in Hartford Wednesday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. at the Lucy Baltzell Shop on Farmington Ave., to show Capraro's collection for Jerry Guttenberg, Ltd., and in the Baltzell Shop in West Hartford on Lasalle Rd., Thursday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.

CAP Receives Grant Award and Contract in 2022
The College of American Pathologists (CAP) is a 75-year-old organization comprised of board-certified pathologists serving other pathologists, patients, and the public through excellent laboratory medicine and pathology practices globally. CAP regularly participates in activities to obtain funding to improve laboratory practices. In 2022, CAP received a grant award and a contract from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
In a September 2022 press release, CAP announced that it received a $100,000 Council of Medical Specialty Society (CMSS) Award. CMSS gave the award to 48 specialty societies comprised of over 800,000 physicians in healthcare to promote diagnostic practices. The grant can be for various projects related to developing and spreading resources that facilitate the timeliness, efficiency, safety, accuracy, and equity of diagnostic outcomes for Americans.
Projects selected for the award focused on cardiovascular conditions, infection, and cancer. The award program is a collaboration among the CMSS, which administers the grant program, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, an organization that funded $1.26 million in grants for specialty organizations, and the John Hartford Foundation, which has also contributed funding for two organizations that focus on older adults.
CAP President Emily Volk, MD, stated the funding would help the organization connect with patients to find ways to create easily digestible pathology reports for laypeople dealing with a cancer diagnosis. In the case of cancer reports, the pathology report is the first thing patients encounter upon diagnosis, making it vital that they understand the report. Otherwise, it can make a cancer diagnosis confusing for patients and caregivers, in addition to being a source of anxiety.
CMSS’ role in the awards was not only to select and disperse grants, but it also will act as a coordinator. The organization will support and monitor awardees’ best practices, collaboration, and learning across specialties throughout the duration of the project.
The CMSS’ focus on medical specialties relates to the fact that these groups are in a position to provide education and also serve as a resource for spreading information. Accredited continuing medical education, journals, clinical guidelines, peer-reviewed journals, clinical registries, and research are avenues that this information spreads. According to CMSS CEO Helen Burstin, MD, the organization is happy about providing funding to projects that might culminate in breakthroughs in diagnostic excellence.
CMSS is not the only organization that has recognized CAP’s value. In a November 2022 CAP press release, the organization received a contract from the FDA for $1 million. With this money, CAP will find ways to improve and develop laboratory test code standards to increase positive outcomes for public health and patient care.
The contract focuses on two areas. The first area will focus on classifying coding to facilitate the transfer of qualitative and quantitative lab results. The second area will focus on ways to verify data accuracy and transparency. CAP will start in October 2023 to organize activities around planning and resourcing, and then they will connect with the FDA and other partners to officially launch the project.
The one-year contract might expand to three years and an additional $2.5 million to fund other proposed CAP projects: Laboratory Coding Transmission Proof-of-concept, Test-Menu Coding Education and Training Proof-of-Concept, and Analysis NorPublishedal Form Clinical Narrative Development and Roundtrip Testing. For more information on either of these awards, visit the CAP website at https://www.cap.org/about-the-cap.

Movie anniversaries in 2020: Nomads of the North (1920)
Nomads of the North, making us all go “what the hell” for a century now.
This is a so bad it’s good treasure as well as one of very, very few movies where Chaney actually wins his love interest over. There are talking animals. The heroine chases squirrels. The villain’s name is freaking Bucky. Chaney is both endearing as the fur trapper and kind of creepy while Betty Blythe coos and claps her hands at anything that moves.
There’s also a show-stopping forest fire scene that gets its tension deflated any time they cut to this bored baby-in-peril. When your possible victim looks like it wants to sleep, that just... does not generate suspense. It generates laughter.
However, it is goofy fun and it’s nice to see a Chaney character happy for once!
