PREFER DEATH
TO CAPTURE
Fugitive Shoots Self And
Companion When Posse
Surrounds Retreat

ENID, Okla, Oct. 3. Up On
the brink Of arrest following a
downtown gunfight here, a fugi-
tive apparently chose death by
gunfire for himself and his young-
er companion today.
The older man died almost a.
once and his name still was I'M
known, tonight, as was the reason
for the strange affray. TIE younger
mumbled before he succumbed to
wounds that he was Tom Goggin,
Of Junction City, KaS., and nod
ded when officers asked him If his
companion shot him and then
turned his 5tol on himself.
An effort was made tonight 10
learn IL the men were afraid Of
being arrested for n or more OF
the numerous recent bank rob-
berries in Cklah ma.
The gunfight followed two un-
successful attempts by Elmer Hut
chinson, deputy sheriff, 10 question
the men on an Enid street because
they looked suspicious. Half a
hundred pedestrians lodged 10
cover as a score or more bullets
fired.
Speeding out Of Enid. the men
exchanged shots with Hutchinson,
who was joined by other officers.
Three miles from town the two
abandoned their motor car, fleeing
on foot for several miles. A posse
was drawing near when three shots
rang out. The men we're found on
the ground dying.
