Record Crowds Hear Music Camp Programs Sunday
Guest Conductor De Rubertis Directs Own Compositions for Appreciative Audiences
Record crowds braved the heat Sunday afternoon and evening to hear the Music Camp Orchestra and Band in their weekly concerts. Featured performer in the two concerts this week was N. De Rubertis, director of the Kansas City Orchestra Training school, and former leader of the Kansas City Little Symphony.
The band concert Sunday evening saw De Rubertis directing two of his own compositions. His first, "Festival March, The Chancellor" was dedicated to the University of Kansas band and its director Russell L. Wiley. It is a spirited march and the crowd liked it. They showed their appreciation with applause, and by the favorable comments they made after the concert.
The other De Rubertis number was an enjoyable composition, on the romantic legend, "Nioe." The Kansts City guest director had as his final number Fauchet's "Symphony in B Flat Major" and that drew so much applause he was forced to take several bows following the finale movement and then he twice repeated the closing strains of the number.
Prof. Russell L. Wiley, band camp director, directed the band in the theme song, "Londonberry Air" at the opening and close of the concert. Another Wiley, directed number, "Cypress Silhouettes" by David Rennet featured a trombone solo by the Camp's number one trombonist, Hobart Potter of Springfield, Mo.Potter's fine performances have been aCamp highlight.
De Rubertis also played one of his own compositions at the orchestra concert Sunday afternoon. This was "Segariana Suite" and is made up of six humoresques for orchestra. It is patterned after the Popeye cartoon strip. It was a favorite with the audience.
A mixed vocal ensemble sang "With Love My Heart Is Ringing" (Hans Hassler); and William Brown was the solist in "The Lord's Prayer" (Malotte). In "Andante from Violin Concerto" (Mendelsohn), Paul Stoner was the solist. David T. Lawson, director of the Music Camp Orchestra, led the group in other numbers as the Orchestra again proved it is a popular part of Music camp activities.
He also directed "Triumphal March" from "Antar" (Second Symphony) (Rimsky-Korsakov) and the Smphonic poem, "Sunrise at the Sea" (Demarest).
The first term of the School of Law Summer Session ended with finals on Friday and Saturday. This is the only branch of the University with a divided schedule for the Summer Session.

Murder Suspect Continues Flight From Justice
- Jack Russell, Accused Killer of Billy Hamilton, University Graduate, Steals K.C. Police Car
Jack Russell, accused murderer of Billy Hamilton, graduate of the University in 1938; appeared in Kansas City at 12:30 Monday morning; stole a car belonging to the Kansas City police department; and headed south to continue the wild flight which started with his escape from prison in McAster, Okla., Tuesday, according to local police.
Hamilton was found, dead from bullet wounds, in a ditch near Ringwood, Ill., 50 miles from Chicago Friday. The body was identified Saturday by relatives in Chicago. While at the University Hamilton was a member of Phi Delta Theta, and a member of the Glee Club. Russell Escaped Tuesday
Russell, who was serving time for robbery, escaped on Tuesday. He kidnapped R. E. Brown, a McAlester photographer, and forced him to drive through Arkansas, Missouri, and Kansas. He released Brown near Pittsburg, Kan.
Brown reported to Joplin police that Russell then kidnapped another man and forced him to drive north. This man is believed to have been Hamilton.
It is believed that Hamilton was forced to drive to Chicago because Russell's wife, Mary, lives there. Mrs. Russell's home has been guarded since her husband's escape. Brutal Foul Play
Hamilton's body showed signs of having been burned with a lighted cigarette in several places. A coroner's jury supported the theory that he had been tortured, with a verdict of "extreme brutal foul play," at the hands of persons unknown.
Hamilton's car was recovered at Kenosha, Wis. Russell kidnapped a third person at Kenosha, Bud Egholm, and forced him to drive to Elgin. Here he was released and told that he would find his car in the 1500 block on West Madison in Chicago.
Hamilton, a resident of Arkansas City, was kidnapped while traveling for the New Era Flour mills of that city. Ralph Sowden, general manager of the mill, said that Hamilton had made a fine record while there.
