After more than three
months of liberty since the
crime, Burns was surprised
early today at the home of rel-
atives in West Lafayette. He
submitted to arrest without a
struggle.
Burns showed a willingness to talk
today after repeatedly being
charged with the crime. Always in
his talk there was the denial that
Baxter and he killed the officers.
Burns story,
Baxter and 1 we're handcuffed
when we left here for the Reform
atory on Feb. 7. We drove out Of
town and nothing happened for
several miles. But suddenly a
large car pulled alongside of us. 1t
carried three men. Two Of them
with drawn guns stood on the run-
ming board and forced Mcclure to
the ditch.
Mcclure and Groves we're forced
to surrender their guns and two OF
the unidentified men got in with us,
telling Groves to drive on. Guns
we're held on the two officers, who
we're in the front seat.
Says Mcclure Fired
IT noticed Mcclure fumbling In
the seat behind him and suddenly
he wheeled with gun and started
shooting,
"It was a bad play because he
was covered and filled with bullets
before he even started, though he
did fire a few shots. Groves was
shot, too, and the automobile
stopped.
Both officers were still alive and
was told to drive the, car.
1.-THE other automobile remained
behind and I drove nearly to
Veedersburg. There the deputies
bodies we're transferred to the
other automobile and Baxter and
we're told to beat it, I don't be-
lieve Groves and Mcclure we're
dead at the time. That's the last
time l saw them"
Escape to Illinois
Burns said he and Baxter drove
from Veedersburg to Danville and
thence to Decatur, ILL.,, where they
left the officers automobile.
"Then we went to East st. Louis.
Kansas City, Parsons, Kas., Musco-
gee, Okla, McAlester, Okla, and
then to Atoka, Okla. There we we're
arrested and spent thirty-six days
in Jail for carrying firearms.
when we got out we walked To
Tulsa and parted. I haven't seen
Baxter since. I went to Montoe, La,
and worked until May IS. 1 wanted
to come home and got back here
Sunday morning"
1t has been the supposition here
that in some manner the prisoners
freed themselves and attacked the
two officers from the back.
A Statewide search was begun for
the officers when they failed to ar
rive at Pendleton. Scores OF posses
were organized and attempted to
trace the car from here.
Federal Search Started
A Federal search was instigated
when indictments were returned
against Burns and Baxter at In
dianapolis for violation of the Dyer
Act in transporting stolen car
across the State line and for other
auto thefts.
In the national search that fol-
lowed, a number of suspects were
arrested, but of no avail.
A farmer tramping through a
woods near the Illinois, Indiana
State line stumbled onto the bodies
of the two missing officers.
Both officers had been shot to
death and concealed in the under
brush under a blanket.
