LEGALITY OF
DOR MIT0RY
: BILL ARGUED
Suit Is Friendly One, Brought
to Determine Statutes
COnstituti0nality

Members of the state supreme court
went late to lunch today. They were
too interested in the argument as to
the constitutionality of the Hamilton
SchlOsser bills to heed the whistle
which indicates meal time for capt.
tol employees.
Scores Of questions were hurled at
Ehe opposing attorneys by the judges
as they considered various aspects of
the case. The Hamilton-Schlosser
bills provide for the erection Of DOR
mitories at state educational institu-
liOns by holding corporations. The
buildings would revert to the state
:. at the end of so years or when the
bonds issued to finance construction
Of the buildings were retired.
Attorneys for both sides agreed
that the holding corporation would
have no title to the building and that
its interest would consist solely of
q lease upon the rentals from struc-
lures erected under the law.
The suit was a friendly one insti-
tuted by prospective purchasers Of
the bonds Of the building corporation
Ito determine the enthusiastically Of
the statute.
Only four members Of the court
heard the argument. Chief Justice
L. E. Birdzell declined to sit because
! Of the fact that he had been consulted
with regard to the Hamilton-Schlos-
ser bills prior to their enactment by
Sthe legislature.

GRAND CANYON
Killer Kimes, Who Has Ter.
r0rized Southwest For
Years. in Custody

Grand Canyon, Ariz.. June 24-(PD
Trapped when he dropped over the
rim of the Grand Canyon into a
thicket covered by the rifles of for
est rangers and steep cliffs that pre-
sented the alternative Of suicide or
capture, Matthew (Killer) Kimes,
outlaw who has terrorized the south
west for five years. today was en-
route to Jail at Flagstaff, Ariz.
Displaying the usual confidence
that marked his operations in the hill
country Of the southwest, the young
bandit jumped from ledge and
slid into the thick brush to avoid the
fire of an officer.
Bandit Leader Recognized
Coming from Oklahoma in an au-
tomobile with couple giving the
name of &. H. Kady and wife, the
bandit leader was recognized by for
est rangers -as the party registered
to enter Grand Canyon National Park.
Kimes, who registered with his COM
panions as Harry Watkins, Of Okla
homa, left the couple at hotel five
miles from the park entrance and
walked to the rim" Of the canyon.
Word that "Mat Kimes'' was COM
ing had been telephoned to the hotel,
and as he stepped out on ledge
overlooking a slope that dropped
away for hundreds Of feet. he was ac-
costed by Sheriff j. o. Parsons of
Coconini county.
Kimes reached for one of the tvs
automatic pistols which saved him
many times. Although he made the
draw, he apparently decided he could
not beat the sheriff's fire and he
dropped over the "rim."
Fires 4 Few Shots
He landed in thick brush which
ended after 200 feet in sheer drop
Of 500 feet. A dozen heavily armed
rangers arrived at this juncture and
circled the place where kimes dis.
appeared. The outlaw fired few
rapid bursts from his automatics as
the posse closed in, but apparently
decided the rangers "had the drop.
He surrendered without much show
Of fighting Mt close range and ad.
mitted his identity.
Kady and his wife had been ar.
rested in the meantime.
Kimes, who is credited with the
leadership OF bandit gang which
has robbed scores Of banks in the
southwest, faces a life sentence fol
the staying Of an Oklahoma deputy

Richmond, Va, June 24.-(NEA)--
The Old Dominion, which is the ora
torical- name for the state of Vir-
ginia, has been extremely proud OF
a great many Of it's sons, what with
Washington, Lee, Jefferson and the
rest; but it seldom regarded any of
them more highly than it regards
Tom, Dick and Harry.
Tom, Dick and Harry--in ordinary
speech that expression means some
thing like everybody" or "the world
and his brother" but in Virginia it
refers very definitely to three men
whom the state admires with whole
souled southern fervor.
These three are the brothers
Byrd-Richard Evelyn, Harry Flood
and Thomas. Each has achieved
distinction in a different way. Their
joint efforts have made the family
name one to conjure with here.
Richard, the Aviator
To begin with, there is Richard
the Dick of the triumviratc. Until
q young man named Lindbergh came
along Dick was pretty generally con
sidered the country's leading aviator
and he apparently intends to regain
that distinction in the near future
having flight to the south pole, in
mind as soon as this business OF
spanning the Atlantic is over.
Then there is Harry. To the ma.
ton at large he is less we'll known
than Dick-but not to Virginia. In
case you have forgotten, Harry Flood
Byrd is the governor Of the state
and is counted very good one anC
very popular one, too. In Virgins

Confessing to Dynamiting
Mail Train

Medford, Ore, June 24.-R-With
their cOnsciences as free as a con-
fession could make them, Hugh, Ray
and Roy D'AutremOnt sped under
guard toward the state penitentiary
today to spend the remainder of their
lives in expiation for the dynamiting
of u mail train in. the Siskiyou tunnel
of Oregon in 1928. in which four
men died.
Assuming the guilt in statement
as graphic and rhetorical as q Dart
ignan story, Hugh, who is only q
years old, told the story of the three
brothers-how they absorbed the
ideas of Schopenhauer, Huxley, and
Darwin and steeled themselves with
. philosophy that carried them
through one of the highest crimes
in the history of the modern north
west.
While Hugh told his story-a tale
of three devoted brothers-"all for
one and one for all"-Ray and Roy,
twins, ~ years old, stood in the
same cell and silently approved the
confession. Ray and Roy then APP
peared in court, pleaded guilty to
murder-Hugh previously had been
convicted-and received life SEN
tences.
They were put aboard train for
Salem and the penitentiary.
Hugh's Statement
J IF the world must know, l killed
the engineer (Sydney L. Bates Of
Dunsmuir, Calif.); Roy killed the
fireman Martin Seng Of Dunsmuir)
and Ray killed the brakeman (Coyfs
Q. johnson Of Ashland, Ore.)."
With that beginning Hugh told in
flawless English how the hand Of
the potter wavered and poured into
the mould of the D'Autremonts too
much CUTS"
"This dastardly crime habits birth
when Ray was In the Washington
state reformatory," he said steadily
"Ray came out of the reformatory
embittered against the world. His
mind was saturated with hatred
They accused him Of radical syndi.

one"
Hugh related how Ray had voiced
his thoughts to Roy and himself iand
how they teo, came to believe liki
their discouraged brother:t how they
decided upon the train holdup and
