LEAVENWORTH PRISON WARDEN BADLY WOUNDED (CONTINUED FORM PAGE ONE, , plemented by further details, nor did it make certain that all the men had been captured. Prior to the announcement by the warden's secretary, an army airplane circled over the penitentiary and dropped a note reading: “All six men captured. Signed i Galvin and Jackson." The men signing the message j were the deputy warden of the j penitentiary and a lieutenant : colonel in the army air corps. The announcement from Eck-' hodlt climaxed four hours filled with intense excitement and fear for Leavenworth and north east- , ern Kansas. The warden was found lying wounded by the roadside by two automobile salesmen who brought him to a hospital here. His arm was so badly shattered that physicians feared it would lia“e to be amputated. Other reports said the men had been captured in two groups, i Three of them, those who wom»4cd the warden, were seized in one not and throe others were said •o have been surrounded on a farm. Order was preserved anti ng inmates of the penitentiary. numbering more than 2,000. after mllit'rv reinforcements were summoned to quell disorder which threatened inside after the escape. Before the prisoners cot out of the penitentiary walls, White golfed a tea»- pas gun and attempted | to check them. Later on the roadside he grzpnled with one rs the prisoners, the second attempt canted the convictto shoot h'm. Eckholdt said the s’x convicts wont to the inner south pate of the prison, ivlth passes that permitted them to go to the wardqp’s office. These passes may have been forced. the secretary said. 'the convittts carried 1 guns con | periled in their clothing. , There ; w-»s nolh'ng unusual about their moveme.nts until the two am rds jat the inner gate attempted to open it. Then the prisoners pulled out their wonpoitj, one had a sawed off shot gun. one a small rifle, and the other four carried revol-' vers. Instantly tile convicts covered the guard at the inner gate,

1 through which they were to pass to the warden's office, bet ween the inner and outer gates. The two guards were forced to march ahead of the convicts through the warden’s office. Two other convicts raced to the outer gate and covered the two guards there. Tlie guards were compelled to go with the convicts to the outer room of the warden’s office. There Eckholdt was interviewing a prisoner. White was questioning another prisoner in his inner office. Three clerks were at their work. 1 | Suddenly the armed convicts i burst into the room. • "Stick ’em up." one of them i told the secretary and clerks. Th eorder was complied with immediately. Through the doorway of his inner office. Warden White saw the hands of the clerks go up. Although he had not beard the spoken command, the warden instantly knew a break was in progress. He seized a tear gas gun and slipped through a side door, walked down the hallway, and attempted to capture the bandits from the rear. One tarred on him, ordered him to put up his hands and the warden saw resistance was futile. Tlie warden, his secre*«rv. -lie I clerks and the guard were herded ! down the corridor to the chief clerk’s office, where the telephone i was torn ,rom the wa'l and thou the procession marched out through the south gates of the prison.

And then Law will say to the upper court that his client could not have a fair tiial for three reasons, nam ly: 1. He was tried in a community i seething with rage against him. 2. He was denied the opportunity of presenting the two mythical .characters who might have done the murdering. 3.
