HKER OUTWITS FOUR BANOITS Two Holdup Me n Near Death, Another In .Jail And Third Near Capture Indianapolis, Dec. 24. — (UP) —Two bandits were at the point of death in i hospital today, a third was under urest and in prison and the fourth was close to capture because a bakery owner carried out a pledge >1 loyalty to his employes. The baker, Walter J. Slate, 42. outri ted the four bandits, known as the ’Leather Coat Four” to police, while they were looting his sate. He re■eived a slight bu-let wound in return. The wounded bandits, George Adime. 21. :.nd Charles Iraiigus, Jr 18, ce in a critical condition, at City lospital. The third bandit, Robert Cline. 21. | 'held tin theii hands. When the men band't gang ami admitted participat-1 ,:g in a series < I holdups in the city. Police said tin y were certain they could icund up the fourth bandit in i i few hours. Cline probably escaped injury because lie was at the wheel of the handit automobile and remained out:<l. while his three companions r.tered the Hutter Crust Bakery at he edge of the city early last night.

Slate and Will Lanham, salesmen, ilt-d up their hands When the men ’etnand-'d money. Slate told them it vae in tlie cash drawer. He did not know that a bookkeeper, Miss Rulb ’ichler, had removed it to tlie safe Miss Richter entered at this juncture and admitted the money was in the :afe. Slate had shown an indifference to issisting the bandits, but secretly was hoping he could got to the safe where a revolver was kept. So hi was delighted when Mangus ordered him to open the safe and take oui the money. After pls"ng the steel box containing the nicney on a table, Slate went back o the sate. The bandit evidently Ue'(ved there was no harm in his scion and did not stop him. Slate reached out, grabbed u revolver, swung himself behind the opn safe door and began firing. Adams -nd Mangus had separated from the bird man who had gone into tlie ■ext room to hold other employes at bay. Adams and Mangus dropped with bullet wounds. The third man came unr.ing into the room, fired and vounded Slate and bolted out the loor with bullets hastening his light. He was not hit. Mangus managed to reach the auto.nniiila but was dumped out In front

of n filling station later. Adams rushed from door to door 01 neighboring homes, hoping to force his way inside one of them ami barricade himself. He was captured while doing this. The wounded bandits were taken to the hospital. Hlate also went to the hospital, for first aid. Slate explained he “fired to protect my employes." HICKMAN CLINGS TO STORY THAT HE IS NOT MURDERER tCONTINIED F-nuM I’AGE OAK) admitting police were making a strenuous effort to obtain details of the actual murder. Lieuallen also disclosed that several times during the night Hickman had intimated he could tell “more ! startling things” if he wished But I the fact that California officers were nearing Pendleton and that probably before nightfall Hickman would start the long journey back to lx>s Angeles lto stand C’,' tl for first egree murder 1 did not se.-'m to effe t him. He main- ■ tained the same indifferent attitude. Headed by Asa Keyes, district att- rm y of I.bs Angeles county, detectives of Los Angeles were scheduled to leave Portland shortly after nine | o'clock this morning and arrive here about four o'clock this afternoon. Tlie visit of the Southern California officials probably will be very brief. They have advised Gurdane that they plan to start the resturn rip with their prisoner shortly be-

fore midnight. if these plans are carried out. Monday or early Tuesday probably will see Hickman back in Los Angeles. Jurdane and Lieuallen have relteratil their intention of accompanying *o lais Angeles the young man who made them nationally famous To Speed Up Justice Los Angeles, Cal., Dee. 24. —(I P) The movement of justice was speeded up here today as police abandon'd their search for Andrew Kraemer uul pi. pared to bring William Edward Hickman to a quick trial on ■barges < f kidnaping and murdering Marion Parker. 12 After a thorough investigation, po tco announced they had practical!.'discarded the theory that "Kraemer' ever lived in reality, and were con ■entratiug their efforts on compiet ing the case against Hickman. “Kraemer was a mythical charactoi upon which Hickman, (now held ii Pendleton, Ore.) tried to place th< blame for butchering Marion Parker’ police said. O. Andrew Kramer, who. pobcr be’ieve, Hickman attempted to blanu f<>- the killing of the Los Angele: school girl, has been in the city jai here since last August and coubl not have possibly participated in tin kidnaping and slaying. Kramer was a former cellmate <-
