HATCHET BELIEVED USED
SANTA ANA, Cal., Aug. 24.
An undetermined amount of mall
and express loot was taken by rob
bers who boarded the Santa Fe
train No. 75 between San Diego and
Santa Ana tonight and probably
fatally shot and beat Elmer Camp
bell, express messenger in charge
of the combination mail and ex-
press car carried by the train. The
robbery was not discovered until
the train arrived here at 8:45 p.
m., with Campbell unconscious on
the floor of the looted car.
The .express strongbox had been
pried open and Its contents car
ried away. Mall poaches had been
' ripped open, some were missing.
Letters and packages lay strewn
about. ., " -
There were bullet marks on the
; pigeon holes of the mail compart-
' ments and the glass in the door
vt the car had been shattered.
Bruises on Campbell's bead led
officers to believe that he ' had
been shot first and then when be
attempted resistence despite the
'bullet wound he had received, was
licked and beaten into unconsc
iousness. " : ; " j. ''
At the Santa Ana valley hos
pitals surgeons said he probably
would die.
Sherifrs men Investigating the
Tobbery believe that three or lour
men participated In it;' that they
boarded the train' when It stopped
at Ocean Side and left It with, their
loot when It stopped down at San
Juan Capistrano,.' about 30 miles
from here. '
The robbers apparently climbed
to the roof of the mail and ex
press car and took aim at Camp
bell through a ventilator. When
he fell to the floor with- a .bullet
vound in his head . they climbed
down, according, to the sheriff's
theory, broke in the door and leis
urely: looted the mall and express
shipments. This part of the job
,was Interrupted lone- enough; it
appeared to' make an attempt to
"finish- - Campbell 'when 1 he
showed signs of life and probably
juried to reach for his gun. 4
J I It Is believed the robbers bead

: n tl 11 ft st ssl mffA- . mo a a
ing the trafn at San Juan Capi
strano. In support of this theory
came.' a report from a truck driv
er, who told the sheriffs office he
had seen a "heavy car ' earrrla
for their crimes? v
This . is the question that has
been substituted lor the -ormer. j
query "will they be taken alive?"
Kelley and ,Willosr as soon as
captured, fervently declared that
they had never killed anyone
had never -killed anyone had
never fired a shot. They have re
iterated this statement many times
and it was their opening remark
when they faced the warden on
their' return to the prison they
had escaped from ten days before.
Murray, . however, has made no
such remarks.. He is more stoical
and according; to all indications
now, has resolved to "take his
medicine." : To his captors and to
the man who informed on him,
Murray : boasted that It was her
who had murdered John Sweeney,
tower guard at the prison. Per
haps he is sorry now for having
said that. At any rate he has not
reseated the statement since he
has been returned to the peniten
tiary. But Mnrray Is a "talker"
and a boaster, j He thrives on pub
licity, and , if one can tickle his
vanity he will; tell everything.
Murray, declares he
Sweeney with a revolver. Kelley
and Willos deny firing a shot. Mur
ray says Willos wounded Lute
Savage- wounded him so that If
the; bullet had hit an inch higher
it would have caused instant
death. Savage was shot with a
revolver. Guard Holman was first
wounded by a rifle shot and was
killed by a charge from a shot
gun. Mnrray says Oregon, Jones
fired the shotgun that Jellied Hol
man. He does not know who fired
the rifle that wounded him. Kel
ley and Willos declare they never
had a weapon when they charged
over the prison walls. But there
were"-two rifles, a shotgun and
three . revolvers carried with- the
three convicts In their dashing es
cape. Murray admits possession
of one-revolver. - ; " : , r
r Murray defends his action In
killing the guards ?7y the state
ment , 'We .were three against
seven." We bad to fight It out.
We get killed, or they do."
, It is not a capital crime in the
state, of Oregon to escape from
the penitentiary. " It is not, as it
Is ia some states of the Union, a
capital offense to assault a guard
at a;' state prison. i
In- order to hang the three con
Tlcts it must I be proven by the

About a month ago plans were

many were oat of the city, the

the necessity of securing- - funds

gation in the department of com
merce to foster commercial avia
tion was proposed to President
Coolldge today by Senator Bing
ham, republican of Connecticut. .
Senator Bingham has just com
pleted an Inspection ftp. of air
stations on the Pacific coast and
tn Alaska and he declares that it
fa time for the government to aid
in the development ot aviation. He
frowned upon a request for use of
the airship Los Angeles In trans
continental commercial aviation
Because of its limited speed, he
said, the Los Angeles could not
compete successfully with express
trains, whereas it would be suc
cessful In transportation over
water.- He suggested that this air
ship be used between Honolulu
and the Pacific roast as an experi
ment In commercial work, lathe
plan he will propose to the next
congress Senator Bingham would
have the department of commerce
establish lighthouses on land 'or
the guidance of airplanes and he
would set np a government Inspec
tion service for all commercial air
planes. ; Senator Bingham reported that
the president looked with favor
upon the suggestion and was anx
ious that the government aid In
(he development ot commercial
aviation by every means possible
except through direct subsidy.
. Senator Bingham was an officer
la the aviation corps during the
world war, serving for some time
in France. He has shown consid
erable Interest in aviation work.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 24. (By
Associated Press.) Indications
are that the army's budget tor
1927 will be Ilmitea to a figure
which will require new reductions
in its enlisted and commissioned
personnel. Although no authori
tative estimate - has been made,
there is a general fear among war
department officials that from
7,000 to 19,000 enlisted men will
have to be dropped, in addition
possibly to one or two thousand
officers. !
Prospects of a budget reduction
and its effect upon the national
defense system . have been made
the subject ot various studies .by
the general staff. Their net re
sult appears to have brought; a
conviction that if appropriations
of the army are reduced, only one
course is open for the war depart
ment to order a corresponding cut
in officers and men. . i
Belief that the enlisted strength
will be curtailed by seven to ten
thousand is based in addition to
current signs upon the effort made
by Budget Director Lord last year
to reduce the existing pay allow
ance for enlisted men from a 118,
750 man basis to about 111.000.
Only the stiff resistance of Secre
tary Weeks to that proposal saved
the threatened cut then and it has
been Indicated ever since that a
new fight on the same front was
Impending this year. j
That General Lord will ask the
war department to reduce its bud
get 87.000.000 for 1927 as against
1928 is generally believed likely,
