Howitzer Force Arrives
With Artillery, but
Quarry Is Gone
Durand Takes Rifle and
" Shoes from Bodies
of two Victims
CODY, Wyo., March 23-(ff)-
Advancing posse officers found to
night Earl Uurant, 26-year-old
slayer of four, escaped from his
canyon stronghold while a war
time howitzer and trench mortars
were being rushed to blast him
out.
; Moving on the raw meat-eating
fugitive's boulder fort to recover
the bodies of two slain comrades.
Sheriff Frank Blackburn and
force of volunteers rushed into the
lair to 1 find Durand had vanished.
During the advance of divided
posse forces, the cross firing
caused officers to believe Durand
was answering their fire.
Sheriff Blackburn declared
Durand' 'must have scaled during
last night the steep ridga wall be
hind!, his fortress. Under cover of
darkness he probably reached the
plnacle formations at the ridge
summit.
Shoes and Rifle
Taken From Dead
The renegade ranch hand who
killed two officers after break
ing from the Cody jail last Thurs
day and shot down . two posse
officers who tried to rush his lair
last night may have descended the
ridge's west slope into the Sun
light valley country, h e r i f f
BUckfcurn,said.
On an open slope .. .yards in
front of the rocky-buttress from
which Durant stood off 100 rifle
men last . night Sheriff Black
burn's force found the bodies of
Orville Linabary of Cody and Ar
thur Garlento of Meeteetse, Wyo.
Both were shot through the stom
ach. Linabary had fallen with his
shoulders across Argento's legs.
. Sheriff Blackburn said Durand
had taken Linabary's shoes off his
feet, picked up Linabary's 30-30
rifle and snatched the laces from
Argento's boots.
The crafty Durand, slinking in
the dark like the mountain wild
cats he has , tracked, evidently
crawled down to the 'uodles last
night before scaling the ridge wall
to elude the besieging force he
had challenged would never take
him alive.
Howitzer Company
Brings Heavy Guns
Durand's escape was discovered
as a detachment of the howitzer
company of the 163rd infantry.
Montana national guard, - neared
the siege scene from Livingston,
Mont., with a .337 millimeter
howitzer and a three-inch trench
mortar.
Having failed to get their man
with the traditional weapons of
the west rifles and six-shooters
the mountain posse turned to
modern military weapons for an
assault its leaders ' had believed
would bring out Durand, dead or
alive.
But the heavy wartime weapons
now were useless, Sheriff Black
burn admitted, unless the cunning
slayer was holed up quickly
again. I
Durand broke out of the Cody
Jail last Thursday, while .serving
a term for game poaching. He
shot and killed two peace officers
that night.

Personal Belief It Will
Be "Disastrous" but
Majority to Rule
Good Faith of New Deal
Spokesman Questioned
but Approval Given
WASHINGTON. March 23.-p)
-One of the most paradoxical sit
uations in recent years arose to
day when Marriner Eccles, a fore
most advocate of government
spending, virtually urged congress
to proceed at once to balance the
budget.
The chairman of the federal re
serve board said there was strong
sentiment in the country for such
a program, and. that a majority of
congress , appeared to "favor it.
While he expressed belief it would
be "disastrous,", he took the posi
tion that the majority should rule.
To thfs he added a statement
that substantial reductions in gov
ernment spending could come only
through cutting appropriations
for relief, for CCC camps, public
works, veterans compensation,
farm benefit payments and nation
al defense, and that for such cuts
congress "should assume full re
sponsibility." Good Faith Doubted
By Economy Advocates
His statement, made before a
special senate committee on silver
legislation, was promptly inter
preted by some members of the
congressional group which has
been urging economy and the re
moval of "oppressive" taxes to
stimulate 'business and reemploy
ment, as an effort to put congress
"on the spot" and absolve the ad
ministration of blame.
Others argued that Eccles'
straightforward language on some

a'bnAlt-pasetng-gesture. They re

Probe of Salaries
Slated by Eccles
Suspicious that a number of
salary Increases in state depart

merit in the closing weeks of
the democratic administration,
David Eccles, newly named state
budget director, announced
Thursday that he was going to
probe these Increases and if he
found them unneeded, order sal
aries reduced. The utilities de
partment is reported to have ad
vanced a number of Its adminis
trative workers before the new
state administration took office
Eccles previously had an
nounced he would cut out the
monthly budgets required the
last three years from all state
departments and substitute there
for a three months' budget. Teo

under the former system, Eccles

-Al Capone has embraced re

services regularly at the federal
prison on Terminal island.
The Rev. Silas A. Thweatt,
pastor of the First Baptist church
of San PedrO, disclosed tonight
that Chicago's former No. 1 pub
lie enemy, '"discovered his need
of the Saviour" during a sermon
based on the Biblical passage,
"Died Abner as a fool dleth?"
The sermon was taken from II
Samuel, III, S3.
"At the end of. my sermon X
asked the 71 men at the service
in the prison if they felt, the
need ef prayer,;-. the , minister
said. "Capone, amonf tnany oth
ers, raised his hand, and we
prayed for them.
"Then I asked If any of the
prisoners felt the need of the
Saviour. I asked those who did
to stand. Capone was the first
to rise. He was followed by 16
others. We prayed again tor the
men who arose and then closed
the services with a hymn-"
The Rev. : Thweatt explained
that prison rules forbid approach
ing closer than 10 feet from the
inmates, and said he was unable
to talk directly with the one

his spiritual needs.
