When called to the witness stand
they made gallant efforts to shield the
Baldwins and won the sympathy Of
the crowd that thronged the court
room. II was not until the verdict Of
guilty was read that their spirit
broke. AS the words rang into the
silence of the room the girls half
started from their seat and then drop
ped sobbing into each others arms
The girls were always accompanied
by the eighty-year-old grandmother
of the Baldwins. The old lady's eyes
followed every detail OF the trial and
stoically she seemed to weigh the esi-
dence against her grandsons piece by
piece. When the verdict was read the
old lady rose slowly to her feet and
hobbIed from the court room

Before Captain Russell left on his

told him not to go near the house at

by the fact that 1t was after daybreak

SPECTACULAR EVENT IN BALD.
WIN HISTORY.

Probably the most spectacular event
In the history OF the Baldwin family
occurred a few months before the
Pen were sent to the penitentiarv.
Harry Hill who had Joined the gang
within the year and VIII and Harold
Baldwin had been captured and con-
nned In the county Jail at walsen-
burg. Harry Baldwin and Hill sue
ceeded in digging through the con-
crete floor OF their cell and then
through a thick stone wall that sur
rounds the jail. For a week they led
n posse of Sheriff Farr's men a wild
chase through the foothills that sur
round the. Spanish Peaks. The fies-
ing desperadoes lef; behind them a
trail OF terror. The posse headed
them away from the mountains and
drove them Into a deep canon west of
l-aNeta- BALDWIN and Hiii barricah-
ed themselves in the shaft OF the
old Occidental mine and defed cap
ture. Deputy John Wright OF waisen-
burg captured them through a rus..
He knew they were without food and
thought at attempt would be made Nv
other members OF the gang TO get
them. At midnight he caught two tf
the younger Baidwin's trying to enter
the mine. At the point OF the revoi-
yer he forced the two brothers to lead
the posse to where the desperadoes
were hiding. Rather than shoot their
brothers Hill and Baldwin laid down
their arms.

CONWAY BEST OF BALDwISs.

Con" Baldwin was considered the
best Of the Baldwin family and was
thought by the various officers of
then pen that. he above all others.
could be trusted to a certain extent.
He was placed outside the walls IN
the penitentiary gardens last fall aft
er he had been incarcerated q little
over q year. He was not exactly
what could be termed a trusty. al
though he had many privileges that
they have. He was at all times under
the supervision of the armed guards
in the parapets.
1t was never thought for a moment
that he was desperate enough to
shoot or that he would resort to such
means. He was known in Grimm
illogical circles as a sneak thief and
was not thought TO be a gun man

this morning. Captain Russell

Hartman and demanded entrance.
Balduin's Mexican wife asked
who was there.
I'VE are officers from Canon
City and want 'Con,- said the
captain.
~yust n moment and I'll waken
him. replied the woman.
There was n conversation Of
hushed voices and the bolt Of the
outside door slammed across the
width of the barrier with . jolt.
Immedhtely Captain Russell
and Hartman pushed against the
door and soon tore II down. As
they rushed into the house with
Captain Russell In the lead, Bald
win fired, hitting Russell In the
shoulder. Undaunted the fearless
pen officer opened fire on Bald
win, hitting him three times.
Staggering to the door from his
wound the captian got outside and
collapsed, dead.
The bullet had pierced his left
shoulder and penetrated his lung
and he lived but five minutes.

MRS. RUSSELL BEARS UP WELL

Mrs. Russell, although greatly
shocked when she was told Of the
death OF her husband and for a time
was prostrated. but at present she Is
bearing up well under the terrible
grief. Since about $3.50 this morning
she has been receiving callers vino
have been visiting the residence 1t

When seen Mrs. Russell said: "The
grief Is almost unbearable. John was
such n good. true man and to think
he had to be killed by such a bad
man. can hardly stand 1t. ! can
hardly realize that he Is dead. when
he left yesterday afternoon kind sf
dreaded to see him leave. I seemed
to feel that something would happen.
When | heard the news this morning
couldn't comprehend II at first. John
and | have been married such a short
time and we were SO happy togethe-.
II does not seem right that this
should happen SO soon"

Captain Russell was detailed by
Warden lyman to go and get Baldwin
after the Warden and Deputy Allen
Jameson had had a conference and de-
cided that as Baldwin yas an ex-
tremely bad man they thought 1t nee
essary to send their very best and
coolest man to fuifIl the mission.
Therefore Russell was relieved OF his
night work and left here Wednesday
afternoon at 4:05 on No. 10.
Ready TO Perform Duty.
In conversation with a Record re-
porter at that time he was In splend-
I'd spirits and expected to have no
trouble in getting Baldwin. "of course
he's a bad man. but bad or not bad.
he'll have to be taken and brought
back and it's up to me to fill the
BILL" he said at the time.
Escaped November u, 1912.
Baldwin escaped from the peniten-
tiary gardens on November Is, 1912
He was not exactly trusty for the
