seemed to lose his hend for a min
ute, ami Instead of letting the turn
key go ahead and open bite case,
knocked him down vrtuh : blow of
his fist.
Jones Still I'mu'tucd
"Jones was unarmed as yet, land
the gun ease was locked. Junes ran
over to a desk In bi0 corner of the
turnkey',) office and looked for a
six shooter in the drawer.
"In the meantime the guard In
No. 1 tower began .-booting blind
into the turnkey's office. The turn-
Ill Key ran . ;u at tti-s nine, aoiuiug his
jaw. I grabbed a heavy spltoon nnd
crashed the lo.'k on the gun due,
handed a 30-30 rifle fully loaded, to
Joues. Jones was excited and be
gan emptying the gun at tower
No. 1, through tho window,
Jones Itiius Wild
"When he emptied the first gun
he picked up another one and did the
same t.Mng. but did not register a
hit. Joues was running wild. He
expected to be killed, and wai ap
parently making his last stand. He
wus shootu'ng wild.
"N'hody was hurt up to this time.
Jones land tower 1 were She only
ones that fired, except one shot
I fired at tower. 1, hut 1 saw no one
to shoot at. Just fired at random
I took two six shooters, a ,3S special
Oolts and 32-20 Smith aud Wes
son. Jones look his sawed-off shot
gut, loaded with buckshot, and ran
back out on the law-3. Wien wc
got out on the lawn Kelly and
Willos were standing with thcir
hauds in the Ulr under cover of five
guards armed with guns, just out
side the iron fence, and also cov
ered by the guard in bull pen, tower
No, 7. No shots were fired from
tower number 7. .
Gnnrds Have Pair Covered
"The only tbfcig which kept tho
guaras rroxn shooting ttem was
that they had Guard Pete White
standing between Willos and Kelly.
His being there was the only Lain;;
which kept Willos and Kelly from
being shot down in cold blood, as a
deputy warden told Whito to get
away from them aud alsj told tho
guards to shcot them."
Newman interrupted tlo ask wi'.iy
was. -Pete White between them and
the answer was:
"Because Pete White did not waut
to see a man shot down in cold
blood. He (Pete) came over volun
tarily. He was unarmed. W&en
Jones aud I ran out of the turnkey's
office the guards that had Kelly
and Willow covered run for cover.
Willos and Kelly were still unarm
ed, with their haads in the air."
(Newman asked: "Were you shoot
ing when you came from tiae turn
key's office?") Murray answered:
"No, I was not, but I would not
swear about Jones.vbut he did not
hit anybody. I threw Willos a .3S
Colts. The guards had run for
cover, scattered towarJs Che tree3
and the garlage,
Guards Seek Safely
"The -warden, deputy warden or
turnkey did not know- where they
were. There wasn't any uhootlng
going on right here, owing La the
fact tihat the guards tworc seeking
cover, and "we all ran, Kelly, Willos
and I got behind an oak tree, and
I, across the lawn to towcer No. 1.
"No. 1 tower was not shooting
'mil I got behind an oak tree, and I
told him to come out and throw
his gun down or we -would smoke
him out of there. Instead of doing
no he kept hJimself covered as well
as he could behind the walls of his
tower nnd tried to get a uhot at
na with his rifle. As it was his life
or ours, I shot ihlm in the head with
the .32-20. He fell dead and I
made a run for the steps leading up
to the tower. Willos was riglit be
hind me. Neither Willos nor Kelly
had fired up to this time. Just as I
went up the first two stent of the
stairs, Guard Holman, m ho wijs con
cealed behind the Iron fence, xhol
me flhrough the left arm. Just as
he shot .me Willos shot him with a
pistol (Story was Interrupted ihera
while there was an argument aB U
who killed Win, "Kelly didn't have
any gun until we got Inside of
tower No. 1. We had to go through
tower No. 1 and drop from the wall
to gain our liberty. Ily llhe time
we went through this tower, tho
bullet,) were coming fast from the
outside of iihe Iron fence and In
the garage. Five or six shooting at
us on the way through. I p'-hed
up Guard Sweeney's (of tower No.
1) rifle. We ail dropped to the
ground outside. Jones, Willos and I
were on the ground and I called to
Lute Savage, who was standing in
the garage, to come over to inhere
we 'were, as we wanted him for pr i
tectlon from tho bullets from the
other gua:ds. Me wouldn't rmne,
so I took line shot at 'him with my
pistol. Whether I hit him or not I
don't know.
i'.ld I'liietvell to Jones
"About this tlinii Jones was shot
In tho lde somewhere (there was
a llllle (argument about where he
was shot), about Unit tints Wlllol
and I started for uunihci' 2 tower,
along lhe sldewall. us I'lls was tho
best route for our gotnivev. Kc'ly
stopped lo shake hands with Jones,
Jones said: "Tell the boys lo play
careful and not make It more than
vac." Jones (hen took tho gun and
Hired a ieUd of buoktihot through
Holm, ufs head, who was silling up
against the wall. Made hint uncon
scious of w'uit iwm going on around
bin. (Murray liuerrupted here to
tell Newman that they were lolling
him lhe Hod's truth.) Murray said:
::1 want my mother to read It."
"Kelly thou picked up lhe rihol
gun, which waa empty, and follow
ed Willos and 1 ptist No. 2 lower
toward the Insane inylitm.
Coniiiuiuileer Aulo
(NV,vman asked him what No, 2
tower had been doing all this bltllO. )
"No. 2 tower was descried, and
.someone wearing a dark suit was
running toward the Insane asylum
ahead of us. We thought H tho
gilird from No. 2 post, although we
would not swear to It, as pye were
not sure. We never did notice any
shots coming from No. 2 tower, nnd
he could have shot at US when 1

Shot l.lkv h Dog
"IV S. The last wo oaw of Jones
he. was sitting on the gruuid, fully
oons.ious. and unaWc to walk, and
if Slaughterhouse Davidson shot him
he must have 'walked up on him ind
shot him like a dog, giving 00
chance."
Newman asked them is they could
make any Individual statement and
Murray said: "No, this goes for alt
o( us. We all vouch tor It." New
man akcd Murray: "What do you
think of Dalrymple as la warden?"
"He's as good a man as could be
In the position. He's had a hard
time during his administration and
he has made tho best of a bad j:b."
Warden Praised
Willos was asked: "What do you
thing of Dilryraple as a warden?"
"According from what I faave
learned from other prisoners who
have miked for a coance to make
good, he was all right."
Newman asked: "Is he a good dls
oipllnarlan?" Willos said: "Yes, sir, absolutely."
Kelly was asked the same ques
tion, "I think he Is very level head
ed, (and I think he uses more com
mon seiwc lilian some of his subor
dinates." "What do you think of his action-:
In the last showdown?"'
"No otjher course to Hollow," said
Willos. Newman asked Murray:
"Was the break executed as plan
ned?" Plans Altered
"No, we planned to al''.de down
the rope, go Into uhe turnkey's of
fice, put the turnkey a:.d uny other
civilians who might he there In front
of us, mar. ill them otrulght toward
No. 1 tower, using them as prJctec
tlon, as Insurance against being shot
at against the wall, disarm l ie
guard i:n No. 1 tower, taking him
with us If necessary, go to the pris
on garage, take one of the fast
prison cars and use that for our
getawoy."
Newman asked: "You didn't ex
pect any Bhootlng?"
.Murray: "No, at least, we didn't
expect any guards waiting for us
out In front. We hud no Intention
of killing anyone."
Newman; "Do you figure some
one -informed on you?"
Murray: "We don't know Just
what to think, but we believe some
one had tile wrong lip."

Same Fine Studebakers
Prices Reduced Quality Maintained
TIIKSK low prices arc not for new cars built
to sell at new prices.
They are (or Studcliaker cam identical with those
which have been in tremendous demand at higher
prices duting the past eleven months.
They are for Sludcbaker cars so well built of
such high ipialily materials that not profits during
the past six months have averaged only Sl lO.til
per car. The re.it of the money the public paid US
went into milking a car with scores oi thousands o(
miles of excess transportation.
These esrnlngs are i triumph for the one-profit
basis o( manufacture. No manufacturer oil a less
efficient basis could have made a dollar selling cats
oi Sludcbaker nihility at StudcbaUer prices.

Thus we were able last January to reduce prices
already low.
Then we announced that Studebaker would have
no more "yearly models" to artificially depreciate
cars in the hands of owners.
Sales instantly started to soar and have forced
the vast Studebaker plants to maintain peak pro
duction, throughout the summer, in the (ace of
declining production for the industry In general.
To one-profit savings we thus add savings due
to long continued peak production. These savings
