PORTLAND, Ore.. Aug. 18. Portland today was
the unwilling center of the greatest manhunt it has ever
known.
Hastily recruited police, some of them on vaca
tions, many of them in their beds, were ordered out to
scour the town for Tom Murray, Ellsworth Kelly and
James Willos, desperadoes, who casually alighted from
an auto sjbmewhere in the downtown section at 10:30
last night.
They had learned, through C. L. Newman, who,
with his family, was kept prisoner all day yesterday near
New Era by the fugitive trio, that not one of the bandits,
grown case hardened and reckless by their experience
since their prison break last Wednesday, intended to be
taken alive.
Kelly has with him a bottle of poison, and in one
pocket a bullet that fits the revolver he carries. The
other two fugitives have a bullet each, but no poison.
"That bullet's for me," Murray told Newman yes
terday, pulling it from his packet. "I'm not going to be
taken alive." , . .
Chief of Police Jenkins personally superintended !
the throwing out of guard lines, to all the main roads
leaving the city, and on all bridges.
Railroad officials have called out their special po
lice, and each yard is heavily guarded to prevent escape
by that route.
A dozen detectives are searching rooming houses
in the hope of uncovering the hiding place of the trio.
There will be little rest for the entire police bureau
until the trio is captured, Chief Jenkins declared. All
reliefs will be ordered out and will work double shifts,
he said.

when two dozen girls circled his

PORTLAND. Aug. 18. A vivid account of how
they made their daring break from the Oregon peniten
tiary last Wednesday was unfolded by the three escaped
convicts, Murray, Kelly and Willos, while they held C
L. Newman captive in his summer home near New Era.
Four others, Lawrence Jacobs, Leo Wilde, Joe Lichte
and Otto Lucht, also were held prisoners with Newman.
They had been kidnaped in Monitor early in the morn
ing, when the convicts commandeered Jacobs' automo
bile.
The story of their break was given to Newman, who
frequently questioned them concerning minor details of
the break. At the conclusion of the narrative, the three
convicts signed the statement and made their finger
prints in ink on the margin of the page. The story as
told by the outlaws was as follows :
