Klamath Man THREE BANDITS ESCAPE AFTER FATAL ROBBERY Belief Expressed That Hold Up Men Lived In City; Officers Inactive Sheriff And Police Forces End Terms, So Fail To Aid In Man Hunt KLAMATH FALLS. Ore.. Jan. 5.- OP) Police and sheriff's officers were without clews of any description today which might aid them in ap prehending the trio of outlaws, who early yesterday morning shot and kill ed Oscar Erickson, transit laborer, in a $100 holdup of a card game in the Scandinavian ball here. Sheriff L. L. Low retired from of fice at midnight last night and be and his deputies devoted most of yester day to straiglfteuing up their office affairs instead of prosecuting a vigor ous manhunt. Practically the same condition was true of the police department, where Police Chief George Humphrey and all patrolmen retire today. Humph rey admitted that he had devoted but a short time to the investigation. Belief prevails here that the rob bery and murder were committed by locnl men by reason of their knowled ge of conditions in the supposedly secret rord room, which was not un der city license. It is also thought that tiio outlaws took advantage of the fact tbnt the sheriff and police of ficials were retiring from office and timed the robbery with that in mind, knowing that the investigation would be less vigorous than ordinarily. The iupiest which originally was scheduled for late yesterday after noon, was postponed until 4 o'clock this afternoon. Earl, Wbitlock, coron er, announced.
