Convicts Die by Own Hands After Escape Three Choose Death to Capture ; Fled from Leavenworth Warden Was Kidnaped Leavenworth, Kans.. Dec. 11. At the end of a trail cf kidnaping, bloodshed and terrorism three des perate convict mail train robbers died today apparently by their own hands when surrounded by a posse in a Kansas farmhouse after an escape from Leavenworth federal prison. Trapped by the gunfire of two hundred soldiers, prison guards, mili tary police, civilian officers and citi zens, after a man hunt in which army airplanes also took part, the men chose death rather than recapture. At an autopsy tonight evidence in dicated that Will Green, one of the men, shot and killed his two com panions, Grover C. Durrill and George Curtis, and then fired a bullet into his own head, ending his life. Three other convicts. Stanley Brown, Tom Underwood and Charles Berta, who participated in the pris on break which was achieved by the kidnaping of Warden Thomas B. White, were captured earlier five milse from Leavenworth. Berta was shot in the shoulder when be resist ed possemen. Seventh Eludes Capture. A seventh. Earl Thayer. 65. an Oklahoma mail train robber, sep arated from the others and had elud-( ed rapture tonight. He was being tracked by bloodhounds. Army fliers prepared to take off at dawn to hunt him. The convicts approached the main gate of the prison from the inside by virtue of passes, the origin of which has not been determined. Then reached the warden's office and with his kidnaping, fled the prison. The captured convicts on their re turn to the prison in irons refused to reveal how they obtained the shot guns and pistols which they used to overpower the warden and others in his office this morning. Thry had gained exit through the gate by us ing the hostages to prevent tower guards from firing on them. They took several hostages in their flight. No Doubt, Says Coroner. Coroner Sexton 6ald after the autopsy: "There is no doubt in my mind that Green bhot Warden White and also killed his two companions and then himself." A revolver was found in Green's hand and powder burns about the wound in his head indicated the bullet that killed him had been fired at close range.

During tie '!ay t!;f-re came fro':1 leaders of both pattk-s nnny hi-r't in the councils of the adtninistr iti. n firm declarations ag;:int furtht r debt relief for Europe undr existing conditions. Secretary Mellon said in a state ment that President Hoover's vjh r.i irendation to congress for recreation of the world war for ign debt coin mission carried no imj li ;iti :i oi' cancellation. He said, however, it is the duty of responsible officials to investigate the ability of the debtors to pay the money due this country under tli present worldwide economic situa tion. Follows Mills Action. His statement followed cb'sely ai: vitation of Undersecretary Mills i the treasury to buck up with facts and figures for ccncressional leaders the statement of President lioovtr that some Kuropran nations would not be in a position to pay their debt obligations after expiration cf the moratorium. Mills arranged for a conference to morrow, summoning democratic lead ers and some of his own party stal warts who have voiced pointe-1 ex position. These latter included Chairman Borah (Idaho) of the sen ate foreign relations committee, and Senator Watson (Ind.), the party floor leader. Meanwhile, with delay confront ing ratification of the cut-year mor atorium, already in effect, the ad ministration prepared a message to the foreign governments respectii.g their debt payments due this coun try next Tuesday. Statement Unsupported. However, failure attended an at tempt to bind house democratic a:d republican leaders to support thi; statement, in which it i understood Secretary Stimson would assure the foreign powers that the payments could be abandoned with certainty of congressional ratification of the mor atorium. Failure to bind the house leaders was not regarded as any rejection on their part of the moratorium, but it indicated clearly that the one-yeur debt holiday faces new trouble as a result of the-adMiinistrtion's latest move for possible revision. Senator Watson led the attack up on debt revision with the declara tion that "it is unthinkable that th" American people should shoulder Eu rcpe's debts in order to enable those nations to build navies and equip armies." He said Europe must first cut armaments. Debate in House. In the house, debate centered .: the president's debt message. Rep resentative McFadden (rep.. Pa.), chairman of the banking comtr.ittc- last session, described the message as "Inadequate, a ridiculous spec tacle." and showing even "scant courtesy." Democrats advised caution. Soi.u tors Fletcher (Fla.). George (Ga.) and Wheeler (Mont.) declared flat opposition. Senator Harrison (Miss.) Is opposed to the move although will ing to hear the administraticn'a v i e ws.
