Skipper Tells Terror
Tale of Murder Ship
1oS ANGELES, Feb. e•(—A tale of terror
aboard the freighter Fair hope—fighting, disappearance
and presumed murder of the chief steward, suspicion, and
eventual grounding in Mexican waters—came from the
ship’s skipper Wednesday night.
Capt. Harold T Hallman, 38, Ocean City, Md., told
how he and 40 crewmen locked themselves in their quar-
ters each night after the steward, Carl Thurmond, 56,
Sibley, La., disappeared, apparently having been beaten,
stabbed and shoved through the 14-inch porthole of his
cabin.
“I thought I was a pretty brave fellow,” Capt. Hall-
man said in a news conference, “but what I saw in that
cabin . . . was a diabolical thing.”
The 438-fot Fairhope, owned by the Waterman
Steamship Co., Mobile, Ala., left here January 29 for
Mobile carrying military cargo.
Thurmond’s disappearance occurred that night. The
next day the ship ran aground off Mexico.
A swarm of FBI agents, coast guard officials and
army intelligence men went aboard after the Fairhope
was towed into Los Angeles harbor. Crewmen were ques-
tioned and 19 were subpoenaed to appear before a federal
grand jury February 18. The coast guard scheduled an
investigation of the grounding Thursday.
But much of the chilling story—except the answer
to the question of who killed Thurmond—came from

A 49-year-old Tulsa man, James Benjamin Burgess, was
near death Thursday from gunshot wounds and gangrene
resulting from a wild gun battle on the outskirts of Okla-
homa county early Wednesday morning.
Meanwhile, Harold E. Shimley, 49-year-old gambler and
former convict, held in the county jail for investigation in
the same shooting scrape, has been identified as a liaison
man between the Tulsa underworld and the senate penal
instittuion committee that recently investigated the Carl
Austin DeWolf death sentence case.
Burgess, identified by Tulsa hewsmen as a former con-
vict, has been identified by two of the shooting scrape vic-
tims, Robert G. “Bob” Peterson, Oklahoma county boot-
legger, and his wife, Margie, 27, as one of the men who
attempted to ambush them in their home near, the Okla-
