The escaping prisoners seized a submachine gun, rifles and other weapons, kidnaped a banker and a justice of the peace as human shields and fled in a stolen automobile. The hostages were released unharmed last night, right miles northeast of Big Spring. Using the same cunning in covering their tracks as they used in breaking jail, the fugitives released their captives on a lonely road, and got a three-hour start on pursuers Defore the hostages could reach a telephone. ‘They treated us all right, but were perfectly willing to use us as shields and let us be killed flrst if a gun battle was necessary for their escape.’* Walter Posey, vicepresident of the First National bank, said. Campbell H. Elkins, assistant justice of the peace, was the other captive. Stanton, sentenced to death for the murder at Tulia last January of Sheriff John C. Moseley, boasted he never would be taken alive. And since he is facing the electric chair if he fails to make good his boast, police expected him to -shoot it out” whenever he is found The killer also was implicated in the slaying in January, 1933j>f Deputy Sheriff Joe Brown at Rome His companions in the break for freedom were William E. Doupe serving ten years for robbery; A. H. Nelson, a robber whose crimes cover half a dozen counties, and J. B. Stephens, convicted of burglary. They escaped from jail by slugging Deputy Sheriff Bedford Carpenter after smashing through two iron doors. They slugged the officer with iron pipes wTested from their cell bunks before he was aware they were free.

Shelby Prosecutor Admits Move to Free Weintraut State Draws Admission From Official Summoned as Character Witness in Bond Theft Case. Emerson Bruner. Shelby county prosecutor, admitted today in criminal court here that he had attempted to have charges of grand larceny and embezzlement against Joseph B. Weintraut, 58. Shelbyville, dismissed by the Marion county prosecutor’s office.

This admission featured the second day of Weintraut’s trial as the accused swindler of SB,OOO in Liberty bonds from Miss Mabel Gentry, 48, attractive Indianapolis school teacher. Miss Gentry was the state’s star witness Friday, the first day of the trial. Mr. Bruner was one of five character witnesses, four of whom were Shelby county officials. The others were County Surveyor Earl Mann, County Commissioner Russell Montgomery, County Auditor Claude K. Moore and Peter J. Lux, champion feed corn grower. Their testimony allowed Deputy Prosecutor John Kelly to get much of Weintraut’s past record before the jury, including an Indianapolis conviction twenty-two years ago and alleged participation in two swindles involving $16,000 two years ago as well as alleged connection with "Stew” Donnelly, internationally known confidence man. The state rested this morning as soon as court reconvened after the week-end. Prosecutor Bruner, first defense witness, described a meeting between Indianapolis detectives and Weintraut in the Shelbyville courthouse the day before Weintraut’s arrest last February. Mr. Bruner then testified that Weintraut had told him he got the SB,OOO from Miss Gentry “in a gambling deal”; that Weintraut had made several jocular remarks about his alleged intimate relations with Miss Gentry; that Weintraut had a “good moral character.” His testimony obviously annoyed Mr. Kelly, who is handling the case against Weintraut. “Asa matter of fact, Mr. Bruner, he snapped, beginning cross-exam-ination, “didn’t you ask. me the other day in my office to dismiss the case, if Weintraut would give the bonds back?” Defense counsel objected strenuously, but Special Judge William R. Ringer overruled them. “Yes,” ' admitted prosecutor Bruner. “In substance, that’s what I said.” STOCKHOLDERS SUED BY BANK’S RECEIVER $45,730 Sought by Oren Hack for City Trust Company.

The details of the crime were told in a statement made to Z. J. Van Landingham, special agent of the department of justice, shortly after Brown’s arrest yesterday afternoon on Monument Circle. Mrs. Lemaux, a slight woman, modishl.v dressed in white, and her son, a nusky young athlete, dressed in a brown suit which was in the height of fashion, appeared together at the Federal building to testify against Brown. “I was numb,” said Mrs. Lemaux of her feelings during the time the threats hung over young Irving's head, “but I was not angered. I had the feeling that God was with me in all of it. “I have nothing but pity for him,” Mrs. Lemaux said of Brown, “especially since it was so unnecessary and so foolish.” “Mother has been a brick aoout it all,” her son declared. Brown told Mr. Van Landingham in his signed statement that he had conceived the idea of blackmailing Mrs. Lemaux when he noticed her husband’s name on the list of patients at Methodist hospital. Mr. Lemaux, who was to have spoken at his son’s commencement exercises, suffered a fractured leg early this month while playing golf. Magazine Touch Obvious Brown, who was born in St. Louis, Mo., said he knew of Mr. Lemaux* position and suspected that Mr. Lemaux was wealthy because he had printed letter heads for the banker some years ago when employed by a printing firm here. “I did it because I needed the money,” Brown told Mr. Van Landingham. “I needed the money because my wife was going to have another baby.” The detective story magazine touch was obvious throughout the conduct of the negotiations with the Lemaux family, though Brown apparently forgot that part of the story which deals with how lederal agents and detectives watch such negotiations. He printed his notes on brown wrapping paper. He made dire references to the murders of Bobby Franks and Marian Parker, both horribly killed by degenerates.

Blames Detective Stories Once, when he wanted Mrs. Lemaux to meet him with the money, he told her to identify herself by wearing a red rose. ‘‘l wouldn’t know any of the Lemaux family if I saw them,” he declared. ‘‘l got the idea from reading detective story magazines.” Mrs. Lemaux received the first letter Wednesday, June 13. The trap which caught Brown wa3 sprung over this week-end. Having lost his nerve on the occasion when he was to have met Mrs. Lemaux and to have recognized her through a red rose, Brown ordered her to wrap $1,200 in $lO bills in a one-pound candy box and leave the box at the cashier’s office in a downtown garage for “Mr. Harrison,” according to the purported statement. L’. S. Agents “Planted” She did this Saturday Afternoon. Detectives and federal operatives were “planted” near by. Browmsaid he drove past the garage Saturday night but did not go in. Yesterday morning he telephoned the garage and learned the package was waiting for him. A 13-year-old boy stopped him a minute later and asked for 10 cents, explaining he was hungry and without funds. Brown told the boy he would give him 20 cents to pick up a package for him. The boy went to the gi r age. took the package and startet back to Brown in Monument Circ. Police and federal men followea. As Brown took the pad *e, according to police, they nat *d the boy and started for Brown. ® ran. dodging down an alley ofl West Market street. “I heard a man yell. ‘Stop, or I’ll shoot,’ and I stopped,” Brown told Mr. Van Landmgham. He was taken to police headquarters and then to the federal building.
