naped G. A. Hnyes, night man in
an electric shop, hero early this
morn I riff were the three escaped
convlctsMurray, Kolly and Willos
the lenders of the fugitives, Tom
Murray, has staged a remarkable
recovery from the gunshot wounds
he sustained o nthe night of his
escape in the opinion of police of
ficers, who wero conducting
probo of the holdup this morning.
Hayes, the victim, pointed to a
newspaper photograph of Murray
and partially identified him aa the
leader of the trio of bandits. It
was Murray, he said, who took the
lead. It was Murray who shoved
a niclcol-plnted revolver In hit
stomach. The man ho identified
as Murray showed no evidence of
having been wounded, he said.
Later this morning Hayea was
not so certain In hta Identification,
and police authorities wero inclin
ed to the belief that the three men
are tho same tmndlts who have
been staging holdups on the high
wayw ne;.r Klamath Knlls and even
on the city strcetH during the past
several weeks. ,
A peace officer expressed belief
that they are tho sumo trio who
robbed six hunk houses at - the
Ewanna logging camp earlier this
week.
It was also pointed that the three
men showed a familiarity with their
surroundings at the electric shop
where Hayes was robbed.
"I haven't any money," protest
ed the night man.
"Aw, wo know there's money
hero and we're going to get it,"
the leader of the trio countered, an
he forced Hayes into the office and
compelled him to open the cash
register.
In spite of the Improbability that
the bandits rfre the escaped con
victs, sheriff's deputies and oth
er officers are conducting a search
for the bandits, on the theory that
they might possible be the escaped
