ANTLERS. Okla., May 16 Under "shoot to kill" orders, possemen beat through the mountain brush northeast of here last night, reported only “ten minutes behind" two of six desperate fugitives from the State Penitentiary at McAlester. Two of the eight felons who roamed the countryside after Wednesday’s riotous break of twenty-four convicts were retaken Friday morning in woods near here, A man suspected of being one of the convicts was arrested yesterday by Arkansas officerr near Waldron and taken there for identification. AH restraint went out of the search in this Choctaw Indian country after the release of four hostages two prison guards, a farmer-cowboy and a railroad section worker. Charles W. Daley, State Crime Bureau chief, told officers to “take no chances—shoot to kill.” Archie Herring and Bill Anderson, robbery convicts, surrendered meekly yesterday a few minutes after their hostages. Prison Guards 'Dick Cope and Victor Conn and the farm er. William Doaks had been released. Claude Beavers and Claude Fugate, reputed leaders of the break, were believed near capture last night. Roy Langwell. 33 years old. railroad section laborer, escaped from them Friday morning after they had abducted him at Kosoma and forced i him to drive them northward in his | truck. He said they were afoot and
penniless.
Two of the others. Julius Bohannan | and Jess Cunningham, were the object of a search that spread from Antlers through the rugged moun I tain country to the Arkansas line. They were thought to be afoot. I Cunningham is wounded. The qther fugitives were A CMcAuthur and Claude; Pugh. Herring | and Anderson were hurrlcij back to 1 the prisun where they were placed in | solitary confinement They face pos- | slble kidnaping and murder charges. We have done the state an injustice : by bringing them back alive.” said i Alex Watson, penitentiary transpor-
tation officer.
Cope, suffering from a bullet wound ! in the neck, and Conn returned to McAlester to face a State Board of i Affairs inquiry investigating break that resulted in the cruel slayI ing of Prison Foreman C. D. Powell j and the critical wounding of another
j guard. W. W. Gossett.
Maj. Henry A Bootz, superintendent of industries at the penitentiary. : submitted his resignation today to
