The trap was sprung by Prank
Hamer, a former Tcxaq ranger, B. M.
Gault, a highway patrolman, and Ted
Hlnton and Bob Alcorn, Dallas county
sheriff. Hamer was recently com
missioned as a highway patrolman
for the special purpose of getting hJs
man and, in this case, his gunwo-
men. - Hamer had learned of the,
highways frequented by the pair and
had been watching for weeks.
The bandits' trail was picked up
this morning by Hamer and three
Texas ranger associates In Bossier
Parish, where Barrow was reported to
have relatives residing. They followed
the bandit car to Bienville Parish
where the rangers were joined by
Sheriff Henderson Jordan and a staff
of deputies.
The officers got ahead of the ban
dit car and. lay In wait until Barrow
rah his car Into the ambush.
With the posse, heavily armed, hid
ing In brush along the paved high
way, Barrow's car broke over the
horizon racing at 85 miles an hour.
As the car approached, an officer
yelled "halt."
Barrow and the woman answered
by reaching for their weapons and
they were met by a fusillade from a
dozen guns.
Barrow and his companion had led
officers In a wild chase over half a
dozen states. Frequently they were
cornered but eluded their pursuers
or shot It out. They replenished
their fund toy robbing batiks and
business houses.
. Barrow was regarded ns one of the
nation's most dangerous killers,
shooting at the bat of an eye and
fleeing In fast automobiles.
Bonnie Parker was charged by offi
cers with participation in most of
Borrow's later crimes. Officers said
she was as quick on the trigger as
hep associate and was Just as elusive.
