PARENTS OF Hi
MURRAY TO AID
SON. TOM END
Mr, and Mrs Murray and
Daughter Visit Convict in
Death Cell Deplore Killing,
But Won't Desert Him Now
Youth Consoles Mother
KALKM, Ore., Aug- J". While con
demning him for his career of crime
that culiulualed in the killing of two
prison guards when he and two other
convicts shot their way out of the
Oregon penitentiary on the evening
of August 1 2. the family of Tom
Murray, who led the break from the
prison, will stick to him to the end.
Mr. and Mrs. James Murray, and
their duughter, father, mother and
sister respectively, of the desperado,
gave him this assurance when they
visited him tills morning In the death
cell at tho prison where he Is con
fined, according to Deputy Warden
Lilley, who uccompuuled them to
the cell.
They remained with the youthful
bandit for twenty or twenty-five min
utes. Murray, the deputy warden said,
seemed principally concerned with
comforting his mother und smiled
und laughed und told them not to
worry, and to "forget all about It."
Upon their arrival from their homo
ut Fort Blakely, Wash., the members
or the family first went to interview
Governor pierce and when Informed
thut he was out of town went di
rectly to the prison.
When Mr. and Mrs. Murray left
the penitentiary they asked permis
sion to visit Tom Murray again this
afternoon for a short time und wero
advised that they could do so. They
hud not registered nt any local hotel,
and iiltempts to locate them were
unavailing. ,
While Murray wus visiting with his
family, District Attorney John Carson,
Shcrirf O. D. Bower und their assist
ants wero busy weaving the chuln of
evidence thut will bo submitted to
the MurJun county grand jury tomor
row In support of a request for first
degree murder indict ments against
Murray and' his two purtners in tho
break and killing. Kelly and Willos.
Willos und Kelly Have Case.
Evidence sufficient to insure the
conviction and hanging of Murray is
already in hund, the authorities be
lieve, but in tho case of Willos und
Kelly It Is a different matter.
Before they hang It will he neces
sary for the stuto to prove that us
Individuals they fired the shots that
resulted in tho death of one of the
guards, or that they were parties to
a conspiracy to kill If necessary In
making their escape.
The prosecution has n third oppor
tunity to ask the death penally for
either Willos or Kelly, or both, if they
can prove thut either or both actually
assaulted an officer in making the
break.
Kelly am) Willos have both laid the
groundwork for their defense in state
ments declaring that neither' fired a
shot. But counter-balancing this on
the purl of Willos Is the statement
that he signed und finger-printed at
the Newman homo In New Era. In
which It was asserted that he shot
Milt Holmau, one of the guards killed.
The rifles ami revolvers havo all
been recovered hut tho sawed -off
shotgun lu still missing. The convicts
say they discarded it in the brush
near Prutum tho first night of their
flight, and guurds are out combing
the country thcro today seeking the
gun.
