Barrow Killing Recounted
Deputy Tells Story pf Climactic Moments of Ten
Month Search for OUTLAW
and Girl

Six of us we're watching all the
time-Deputy Ted Hinton, M. Gault
of the Texas highway patrol. former
Ranger Captain Frank Hamer, Sheriff
Henderson Jordan. Deputy Prentis M.
Oakley of Bienville Parish and myself.
Daylight came, and still no Clyde.
BY o'clock we had just about de-
cided to give up. but waited few
minutes. At 915 I saw light tar
car head south over the hill north
of us. I knew that was the kind
of car Clyde was driving. He came
closer at good speed. knew it was
Clyde. told the other officers it
was Clyde.
He came still closer was positive.
A truck load of logs was coming from
the other way. Clyde began to slow
down. All of us jumped up from
behind that little moInd We had
rifles and shotguns pointed at
him
BY this time he was within so
feet Of us. He saw us and reached
over, grabbing for what we later
learned was his gun. We let him
have it. His head flew back. Bonnie
toppled forward The car care1ned
to the left and ran into san6bank.
Uncertain of Shots.
We didn't know whether We had
killed them or not. ran out into
the road and to the right side of the
car. I had a rifle. 1 fired into the
rear of the car and again into the
right side Of the car. The other
officers fired again. Nothing hap
pened. We waited Still nothing.
We slowly walked up to the car
and Bonnie and Clyde we're both
dead in the front seat. Clyde's
Browning automatic rifle was lying at
his feet. 1t had been hit by rifle
bullet. He had reached for it and
one of the shots had knocked it
cut of his hand. Bonnie had a AS
automatic pistol in her lap, but she
hadn't fired it either.
There they were, those two bandits
and killers. Dead-just as they had
killed so many others in their muir
derous careers. We got a wrecker
from Gibbsland, hitched it to the
front end of their car and, without
moving their bodies, brought the car
to Arcadia.
The bodies were taken out, a
coroner's jury called. evidence given.
the pair identified and the jury held
that they had come to their death
from gunShot wounds.

VOTE FOR DISTRICT
URGED BY WALTER
N. R. A. Compliance Adviser
Lauds Citizens Groups
in Radio Address.

An argument for national represen-
tation for the District was voiced
last night by Raymond j. Walter,
N. r. A. Compliance Board adviser,
in an address over VOL. Walter
spoke on the American Federation
of Government Employees program,
and was introduced by the president,
E. Claude Babcock. He also praised
the citizens association movement
here. The speaker, later in the eve
ming, was elected president of the
District Young Democratic Club.
Explaining that there are 100000
persons here whose voice in Govern
ment is limited to expression through
these civic organizations, Walter said:
Il cannot reconcile myself to be-
lieve that our forefathers in draft
ing the Constitution of these United
States ever intended that so large
a group Of people should have no
choice in the selection of those who
govern them.
Does it not seem right that 500, 900
people should have a voice in the
National Legislature Of our country?
In the carrying on of the affairs Of our
City of Washington, and of these
United States as well? The patriotism
on the part of our citizenry has been
shown on numerous occasions. During
the last war the District of Columbia
quota in fighting men was quickly
filled, the sale of Liberty bonds met
with a unanimous and whole hearted
support. In all other patriotic move
mentS the citizens of Washington have
responded enthusiastically and in a
most gratifying manner.
During the past year the employer
and the employe, the trade associa-
tions. the labor organizations and the
citizens associations have co-operated
with the President in his recovery
measures. The people of the District
of Columbia have many capable
leaders to represent them in the halls
of Congress, and have shown them
selves at all times to be patriotic and
serious S-minded American people. and
they rightfully should be granted the
privilege of selecting from amongst
them some of their distinguished
number to represent them"

INDUSTRY LOANS
CONFERENCE SEEN
Bill to Make Large Sum
Available Passes House
in Changed Form.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A plan to make half billion dollars
or so available for Government loans
to industry headed today toward a
conference between the House and
Senate.
The House passed the bill late yes
terday. but in much different form
from. the measure approved earlier by
the Senate.
The Senate had set the maximum at
$3.50, 1000, 900. The House, besides other
major differences, determined on a
s440,oo0,00o figure. 1t also tackled on
a provision allowing loans totaling
$75,OOO,00O to school districts, for
teachers pay and other things.
Representative Luce, Republican, OF
Massachusetts,, said this would benent
only Chicago and was lust a gold
brick" to other sections.
Action of Senate.
The Senate bill fixes the maximum
total r. F. C. five-year loans at $780,
900 900 and limits the amount the II
Federal Reserve banks could advance
to S280,00O, 900. The House bill in
creases the r. F. c. total to $780,
OOO, 900 and cuts the Reserve bank
maximum to sl40,000,000.
In its two days of debate, the House
made only six consequential changes
in the industry loan bill. Most were
adopted. In addition to the school
loans they would:
Stipulate that the Federal Export
Import Banking Corporation shall
submit annual reports to Congress.
Representative Goss. Republican. of
Connecticut, said the amendment
would require such reports from all
federally owned corporations already
in existence and not covered oy an
especial law.
Eliminate a Senate requirement
that corporations seeking loans must
first apply to the Federal Reserve
banks before taking their application
to the r. F. C. The amendment
struck out the stipulation that aid
must first be sought at the Federal
Reserve banks.
Reduce the limitation on maximum
INDIVIDUAL II. r. -. IOdllo L4Oul SA,
100000 to 100000.
Recognizes Fishing.
Authorize the r. F. c. to recognize
fishing as an industry for the purpose
of helping fishermen with some ot
the 100000 900 the measure author
iZes for loans to small industries.
Allow individuals and partnerships
as well as corporations to borrow from
the R. F. c. if they are in the business
of mining. milling or smelling ores.
A proposal to authorize loans tc
municipalities for the construction oi
their own power producing or dis
tributing plants was beaten down.
Also discarded was an amendment
to allow the r. F. c. to lend Sl5,-
100000 to privately endowed schools
even denominational institutions.
The House removed stipulation
that no insurance company which has
an r. F. C. loan may increase its
salaries while that loan is outstanding
The existing law, however, limiting
maximum salaries paid by borrowing
insurance companies to sl7,500 a year
was retained.

ARCADIA, La, May 24.-For 10
months I had been trying to get
Clyde and Bonnie, 10 months when
did little else except look for them,
hope I'd find them and get them
dead or alive. Today we got them.
They won't kill any one else now.
We got them as they came along
the road. 1t was all over in a
moment. Both were dead as their
car noSed into sandbank and came
to a stop. They didn't even fire a
shot, but they had grabbed at their
guns when our bullets knocked them
over.
began following Clyde and Bonnie
last Summer. l got reports they
were here, there and yonder, but al
ways, when the other officers and
got there, they were gone. Only
once, last November. we ran onto
them near Dallas, but they got away
when we let them have it and they
weren't even hit.
Wide Area Searched.
Since then, I've been after them
and. for the last four weeks. I've done
nothing else all over East and South
Texas. Southern Arkansas, Northern
Louisiana and even over into Missis-
sippi, where We heard they had been,
but they we're always gone when we
got there.
A few days ago. We got reports
that Clyde and Bonnie had been
through this part of the country and
had been over the road through
Gibbsland. We hung around watch
ing, but nothing happened. We
didn't give up. though, and decided
to stick around awhile longer.
At o'clock this morning We hid
our car in the woods eight miles south
of Gibbsland and lay down behlno
a little knoll. The grass was wet
with heavy dew and it was awful
just lying there and waiting We
were right on top of hill and could
see the road until it went over the
top of the hill north of us and the
other hill south of us.

It will be an idea too lofty to be
grasped and controlled by dema-
cog, and the low-brow partisan
politician. If realized at all, it
must be the elimination and full
fruition of long years of suffering,
and of a pilgrimage toward a bet
ter day. Of coursesait may be ar
ideal, not obtainable with the next
few years, or within the next few
decades, but if not now, ultimately
it must become a fact. 1t is Ger
tain that should such a movement
be inaugurated it will put the
dominant political parties in Amer
lea on that dreaded position known
as the "spot."
