SALEM, Aug. 22. (United Press) One of the most
thrilling man-hunts in the history of the Pacific northwest
waa ended tonight.'
Tom Murray, Ellsworth Kelly and James Willos, who es
caped from the penitentiary here August 12, killing two
guards, were all captured today at two different point in the
state of Washington.
Murray was brought here this afternoon from Centralis,
and locked up in solitary confinement. His two pals were in
the custody of a posse of Portland deputy sheriffs, who arrest
ed them tonight in a ravine near Goldendale, Wash. They
are now enroute to Salem.
These three men seemingly are doomed to die. The blood
of J. M. Holman and John Sweeney, prison guards, is on their
hands. Although the Oregon law provides a jury may recom-
mend life sentence instead of hanging, .there was little doubt
recovered when Franti at the wheel, ,ut that theie cold-blooded slayers would go to the gallows.

by John Carson, district attorney of Marion county, who or-'

The convicts were located after the posse, going up a
side road to Rock Creek canyon, near here, saw an old auto
mobile which the men stole in Bingen, Wash., early this
morning. .'
They then knew their quarry was close by, and a careful
search finally showed them a place in the ravine, where a
small cloud of smoke was curling upwards. ' '
TAKEN BY SURPRISE
Creeping up on this, they were able to completely sur
round the desperadoes before they were aware of the pres
nce of the officers. '
Willos appeared to be cheerful and willing to respond
to the jibes, bandying jokes, with the crowd, who gathered
to see them.
' Kelly, who lost his pal and hero, Bert "Oregon"" Jones,'
in the prison break, was sullen and morose. ' ,
The two convicts showed the strain of their futile attempt
to evade the law.
WILLOS GLAD IT'S OVER
Willos admitted he was glad to be taken.
When leaving Goldendale, Deputy Sheriff H.' Christof
ferson, chief criminal deputy of Multnomah county, at Port
land, leaned out of the car and yelled at the crowd i "Call on
us again, whenever you want help. We'll get 'em for you."

PORTLAND, Aug. 22 (United Press) The old double
cross has again cost Tom Murray his liberty, and probably
his life. The escaped Oregon convict and murderer waa be

Vancouver.
Murray trusted Carson, and asked him to aid in hi es

"PRETTY CLEVER" MURRAY
. According to the story told to Carson by Murray, he left

Murray told Carson, and they agreed to separate. Willos and
Kelly planned to stay in White Salmon for a time, and Mur
