men if convicted probably will hang

cupied by Prince. He was very tired
last night although willing to talk

Morley's Story of Fight.
Lincoln, Neb.. March 19.-Charles
Morley, the convict who surrendered
when his two companions were killed
and was taken back to the penitenti-
airy, told the story Of his escape, pur-
suit and the battle. He said the vol
ley from the posse in the fight near
Gretna first killed Roy Blunt, who was
driving them across country Convict
died within minute without saying a
word.
"Dowd," said Morley, "shot himself
in the head when he saw escape was
impossible. He attempted to do this
earlier in the game, but I knocked
his hand away and told him that we
might as well fight it out. I fired six
more shots with my revolver and then
jumped out OF the wagon ana Td1SeO
my hands above my head and ran to-
ward the posse.
Deputy Sheriff E1kinberry caught
me by the collar and he and Sheriff
Hyers saved my life. The bunch who
were in the lead in the buggy wanted
to shoot me after had given up. But
the two men would not let them.
1--WE spent Sunday night on the way
from Prairie Home said Morley, in
recounting the experiences leading up
to the battle. I'VE stopped at a farm
er's named Elmer Hall and there we
cut their telephone wires. Near there
we stole a handcar. Sunday night we
were headed for the rock quarries at
Louisville, but changed our route.
| 1--WE kept on north until we reached
| Blunt's, about four miles north of the
track. There we ate again and talked
with the Blunt boys, Roy and Lloyd,
and made them give up team. We
knew that the posse vas then only
about an hour behind us, so we took
Roy Blunt as a hostage. and left a
note to the posse telling of this.
From then on north, for ten miles,
we kept out of sight of the posse,
J though we constantly met posses of
! ed with shotguns and whenever they
saw us they turned and drove the
/ other way. About fourteen miles north
| of the tracks, the leading buggy of
the sheriff's posse came within shoot
ing distance of us. We fired first, but
