As moo 11 us the right with Murray began, Davison called to Nesmlth for help, which he declared yesterday was not answered In any manner. It ajso developed that Davison was In the turnkey's of fice for the purpose uT protecting the turnkey during the dinner hour, but thai he did not have a gun.

Kelly stopped to shake hands with Jones. Jones said: 'Tell the boys to play careful and not moke it more than one.' Jones then took the gun nnd fired a load of buckshot through Holman's hcud, who was sitting up against tho wall. It made him unconscious of what was going on around him.

Kelly was asked tho same question; "I think he is vory level headed and I think ho uses more coinnion sonso than some 'of his subordinates." "What do you think of his actions In tho last show down?" "No othor courso to follow," suld Willos. Newman asked Murray: Plan Palled to Work "Was tho break executed as plan ned?" "No. wo plnnned to stldo down the rope, go into tho turnkey's office.
