.outs are affected.
"My own sticker number did not
match up," said Newbury, "My
own vote, wouldn't have counted.
Whoever got a hold of the receipts
messed up the whole system."
Dunaskiss claims that there is
"no way to get a total."
Newbury said a full investigation
will be held to determine the ex-
tent of the fraud, what will be done
about it, or if the election is even
salvagable.
Until that time, all election pro-
ceedings are suspended.
If the election is thrown out, both
SGC members and candidates have
hesitated to offer alternatives.
Candidates say they are too tired
to campaign again, and it is doubt-
ful whether there is enough time
or SGC money to hold another
election, anyway.
"As far as I'm concerned," said
director declares fraud
'Newbury, "It's too late in the year
to hold another election. It would
probably have to wait until Sep-
tember."
He had "no idea" what would be
done in the interim.
The candidates have generally;
reacted angrily to the findings.
SGC candidate Elliot Chikofsky
said, "It's not even worth running
for office any more with all the
ballot stuffing."
Write-in candidate for SGC presi-
dent Bill Dobbs said the fraud was
"on the heels of the last gasp" of,
SGC.
But whether the ballots could be
tabulated even without the alleged"
fraud is also debatable.
Dunaskiss has admitted that
there were other problems with the
ballots as well-problems that have
become an SGC tradition.
He confirmed unofficial reports
that, because the stickers on the
ballots were heavier than the paper, In addition, the corners on many
ballots were being "chewed up." ballots were cut off, making it

Orville Davis:. story
of a clever felon
(Continued from Page 1)
According to police, Patrolman
Gary Patulski gave chase to Davis
after being alerted that he had at-
tempted a holdup outside of a bar.
Running through an alley, Davis
fired several shots at Patulski
hitting the officer in both hands
and grazing him above the hip.
Patulski returned the fire, felling
Davis with hits in the buttocks,
right hip, and lower back.
Davis, who is to be charged with
attempted murder, is being held
under heavy police guard at the
Milwaukee county general hospital
where he is reported in "satisfac-
tory" condition.
Doctors permitted police to in-
terrogate Davis, but according to
Marple, "he said nothing, period."
The capture of Davis climaxed a
drama that began last Saturday ip
a Columbus, Ohio hospital.
Davis, who was being held in the
Franklin County jail on an armed
robbery charge, apparently faked
an illness and was taken to the
hospital for an examination.
At the hospital, Davis succeeded
in overpowering his sheriff depu-
ties escort, stealing the officer's
gun and escaping.
Davis was next reported seen a
few hours later when he hijacked
at gun point a car belonging to a
Hillsdale, Ohio, couple and forced
them to drive him to Cleveland.
On his arrival in Cleveland, Davis
robbed the couple and their two
passengers and fled before the ar-
rival of police.
If the police theory is correct,
Davis, using the name Tucker,
spent Sunday night in Toledo, stay-
ing inside during the day, and trav-
eling to Ann Arbor in the evening.
There, probably after 2 a.m., he
apparently abducted Fahr and stole
her automobile.
In the absence of cooperation
from Davis, the police simply do
not know what he did with Fahr.
But Fahr's car surfaced early
Wednesday morning in Shorewood,
Wisconsin, a northern suburb - of
Milwaukee.

"Davis? Orville Davis was one,
of the cleverest criminals that ever
stayed in this jail."
The police in Columbus, Ohio,
say that Orville Leland Davis, Jr.,
the man who may have abducted]
Melanie Fahr, was no stranger to1
well-planned crimes of violence.
Presently under heavy guard in
a Milwaukee hospital after receiv-
ing four bullet wounds in a shoot-
out with police early yesterday
morning, Davis has an intriguing
list of previous encounters with the
law.
Police describe him as a short
man. with "a Zapata mustache;"
he liked to wear mod clothing and
"was quite a busy guy when it
came to robbing banks."
Davis' criminal record dates to
the early sixties when he was'
given a 20-years-to-life sentence for
a trio of armed bank robberies in
Columbus.
He was, released on a furlough
program to a Columbus halfway
house for former convicts in Sep-
tember of last year. But according
to the sheriff's department there,
he returned quickly to doing what
he apparently was best at: "bank;
jobs."
Davis allegedly attempted no less
than five armed bank robberies
during January, 1973, and succeed-
ed, say police, in netting more
than $30,000 from the heists.
Authorities in Columbus have not
yet recovered the money.
However, they did recover the
elusive Mr. Davis, at least tempor-
arily, on January 31. He was jailed
on charges ranging from menacing
behavior toward females to assault
with a deadly weapon.
For the next month and a half,
Davis -apparently did some think-
ing as he awaited trial in Franklin
County jail, and by last Saturday,
he had planned his escape.
Feigning extreme pain in his
legs, the 31-year old Tennesseean
convinced his captors that he was
in need of a doctor's care. They
transported him under guard to!
a local hospital where several doc-
tors examined and X-rayed his
legs.
They concluded that Davis was
healthy and removed straps from
his arms and legs so he could get
up from the examining table.

ORVILLE L. DAVIS, the key
suspect in the disappearance of
Melanie Fahr.
According to police, "someone's
back was turned" as Davis rose
and walked swiftly to the door.
He punched a surprised deputy
sheriff, removed the man's revol-
ver, and broke for the hospital's
busy side entrance.
Davis managed to disappear in
.the crowd, into which police say
they hesitated to fire for fear of
hitting innocent bystanders.
"We didn't really expect him to
be much trouble," remarked one
policeman later. "He's just a little
guy, about 5'9", but he must be
awfully powerful."
When he is released from the
hospital in Milwaukee, Orville Da-
vis will be charged with four counts
of kidnapping, at least three of
attempted murder and/or assault
with a deadly weapon, and the
eleventh armed robbery of his ca-
reer.
