The government took it that when no rescue attempt was made yesterday in the three-hour interval between the sentencing and hanging of Otto Planetta and Franz Holzweber, the revolt was proved to have been crushed. There was no indication so far that Nazis had the intention or the strength left to make good their threat that if any of their I number were hanged they would I kidnap priests and kill them man , for man. It was announced that Pope Pius, complying with a request of Dollfuss's widow, approved a plan to disinter his body later and rebury it along with that of former Chancellor Ignatz Seipel in the Seipel Memorial chapel now under construction. It was unofficially disclosed today that Anton Rintelen, former minister to Italy, had admitted his part in the Nazi putsch.

CAPTURE TWO ESCAPED MEN IN MISSOURI .CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE> deputy warden at the Indiana prison and Alfred Miller, a guard, were sent after the felons. Burnett may not be in condition to move for several days because of his wounds but Jay can be brought back immediately, Coy was advised by Missouri officials. Meanwhile two other members' of the group which won their way to freedom were reported hitchhiking north from Evansville. They are believed to be Kenneth Rogers, 22, and Maurice O'Flaherty, 25. Rogers was identified as one of two bandits who shot a tilling station attendant during a robbery at Evansville Monday night. His companion was tentatively identi- j fled as O’Flaherty. Evansville authorities said they I trailed the men as tar as Patoka. Both were dressed in expensive! clothes stolen from an Evansville i store. An abandoned prison uniform ' was found in a car which Rogers had stolen. i ; No trace has been found of the fifth convict. Louis Craill. In announcing that he would question Burnett and Jay, Coy said he hoped to obtain valuable information which will round out his investigation of the escape. He has been in Michigan City since Saturday, questioning guards, officials and prisoners. His report will be submitted to Governor McNutt. The escape last week was the secon dmajor breaik since Louis E. Kunkel, Michigan City, was appointed warden by Governor McNutt. Last September, 10 desperate characters shot their way to freedom with weapons smuggled into the prison by John Dillinger. Tieports have persisted that Kunkel may be replaced as warden by a man long trained in penology. The reports have met with denials from Coy, however. The source of current rumors that Capt. Matt Leach of the state police had been linked with a "parole racket" at the prison was

explained yesterday by Coy. He said the rumors resulted from efforts made by the captain 1 to obtain a parole for Lloyd Arnold. Lake county. Capt. Leach interceded on be-1. half of Arnold when he learned that the prisoner had been "rail-1 roaded" to jail. After Arnold was paroled the i "grapevine system" of the prison spread reports that Leach was instrumental in the release. Relatives of other convicts immediately started to contact the police cap- ' tain. , Coy said the reports were without foundation and characterized them as "foolish." Shot By Mayor Mexico, Mo., Aug. 1. —(U.R) —The pistol marksmanship of the mayor of Mexico was credited today with a major part in the capture of two of the five convicts who escaper! Saturday from the Indiana state penitentiary at Michigan City. Police held two men they said were John Burnett, 27, and William C. Jay, 43, who they believed were heading for a tryst with remnants of the John Dillinger gang. Mayor W. A. Debo. also a deputy j sheriff, shot Burnett in the chest as the convict trained a shotgnn on Chief of Police Robert W. Baker, who with Debo, sought to question Burnett and Jay. Burnett was under police guard touhy in a hospital. Jay was held in the county jail. o Swine Judges Meet At Purdue August 7 Lafayette, Aug.
