ONE OF THREE UNDER ARREST

Hugh DrAutrrmonl Serving in Army
Admit* Identity; To be Returned
to Oregon for Trial.
Telegraphic news notes tell of the
capture of Hugh D’Autrem ont. Some
still say, including his fa ther, thnt
it is not Hugh. His fa th e r still claim­
ing that he is dead. The three broth­
ers are accused of the m u rder of
four trainm en, wrecking the trnin
and robbing the mails nt the Siskiyou
tunnel a few miles south of Ash­
land on Octob«r 11, 1923.
“ The man was arrested a t Los
Banos as Jam es C. Price, a private in
the 31st infantry. He was brought
to Manila and plnced in confinem ent
under a heavy guard. He robably
will be returned to Oregon on the
first available transport.
Army records show th a t “ P rice”
enlisted in the United States army
in Chicago on April 22, 1924, and
was detailed to foreign service. He
was sent to the Philippines in 1925.
Associated Press Teports from
Manila declare the man was positive­
ly identified as Hugh DeAutremont.
Officers are hopeful, of course,
th a t if Hugh has been caught, his
arrest will lead eventually to the ap­
prehension of Ray and Roy, who are
twins and, a t least before the crime,
were inseparable.
If one or all of them nre enught,
federal authorities said, they prob­
ably will be tried in the state courts
in Jackson county, where they are
under indictm ent on m urder charges.
Conviction
there
would make
death on the scaffold the maximum
penalty.
The attitu d e of the federal o ff i­
cials makes it appear likely th at the
secret federal
indictment against
the men is fo r assault and robbery
of a mail c a r— an offense which c a r ­
ries an invariable punishment of 25
years in prison.
