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.

M lion f night gave asjurar.c
that the 2!miuitration is opposed
to cancellation.
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

and Wheeler (Mont.) declared flat
opposition. Senator Harrison (Miss.)
Is opposed to the move although will
