SHEDD SCENE OF BATTLE Came Deputy Faces Fusilade of Ballets From Escaped Prison erDesperado Makes Try for Liberty, Trying to Kill Captor. ALBANT. Or., Sept. 25. (Special.) After a running battle in the streets of Bhedd this afternoon, Jeff Baldwin, no torious convict, who escaped from the state penitentiary just a week ago to day, was captured this afternoon, by Joseph R. Frum, chief deputy in the Sheriff's office here. Baldwin sur rendered only after he had emptied his revolver and was out of ammunition. Later, when beinp brought to Al bany, he made a desperate attempt to escape by striking Frum and endeavor ing to fire at him pointblank with & weapon he pulled from the officer's pocket, but it was an empty gun and merely snapped. At the time of his capture Baldwin's identity was not known. He was ar rested for robbing the residence of Ray Kors-ter in Tangent. After he had waived examination on the robbery charge and was placed In jail, the officers identified him at once from the pictures of the escaped con vict. He was taken back to the state penitenitary tonight. Complete Outfit Pilfered. Baldwin went into the Forstcr house about the middle of the forenoon and took a complete outfit of clothes, in cluding every article of wearing ap parel to the pin in a cravat. He also took the revolver he used later in the fight: a diamond ring, several other articles, and about $10 in money. For ster discovered the robbery at noon and Hummoned Frum. They found that Baldwin had ridden Into Tangent on a bicycle, supposed to have been stolen here last night. After changing clothes he went southward on the bicycle and was traced to Sbedd. Baldwin had ditched the bicycle this side of fchedd and Frum and Forster met him there walking along a street. Forster Identified him by the stolen suit. Frum started to walk toward Baldwin, but when 10 feet away Bald win whipped out his gun and .started backing, threatening to shoot. After he had walked several yards Frum dodged behind a telephone pole to start firing, and Baldwin then shot and start ed to run. Kmpty- Gun Savc-n Deputy. Frum returned the fire and etarted to pursue him. Baldwin turned four different times and fired in the open at the pursuing deputy, but Frum gamely kept on, firing once more in the meantime. When Baldwin's am munition was gone he dodged behind & pole. Frum kept advancing and fired so close to Baldwin's feet that he jumped out and started running again. Frum got close to him and called, "Stop, or 111 bore you this time,'' and Baldwin came back, hands up. Frum and Baldwin were riding "in the back Beat of a jitney to Albany and just as they entered this city, Baldwin suddenly etruck Frum full in the face, cutting the inside of his mouth badly. He then grabbed what he supposed was Frum's loaded revolver, but the officer had placed the empty gun in the pocket siext Baldwin and he got the one he nad emptied at the officer previously. From a partly prone position Frum kicked Baldwin, knocking him out of the car. and as he jumped up he turned the weapon pointblank at Frum and snapped the trigger vainly. Had he secured the loaded revolver, as he supposed. Frum would have been "killed. Frum covered the convict with the .loaded gun, while Arthur Palmer, jit ney driver, tied Baldwin's hands with a rope. Having left the office hastily to investigate the robbery, Frum had sot taken handcuffs. Yoddk Officer Praised. "When taken to the District Attor ney's office Baldwin gave the name of Andy Davis. He joshed with the offi cer who accused him of giving a fake name. Informed he would be checked up. he seemed on the verge once of telling his identity, intimating there was a reward oit for him. Then he changed his mind and said: "I guess you'll find out, anyway." When taken before Justice of the Peace Swan he waived examination at once. Baldwin escaped from the prison Feptember 18. He was committed from Clatsop County to serve seven years for burglary. He is said to have been one of the men who caused so much trouble at the prison at the end of .Warden Minto's term. Deputy Sheriff Frum Is being highly commended for his capture. He is a young man who has been in the Sher iffs office only a few months and this was the first time he has been under fire.
