(AP Wirephoto) Killed Banker, Wife, Daughter No Bond For 3 Men In After Hostages Flee 4 Gunmen Give up In New York Murder; Find $9,811 By BOB MONROE Associated Press Writer NEW YORK gunmen who had vowed to die for Muslim paradise in a hail of police bullets have surrendered peacefully after their nine remaining hostages made a dramatic escape to signal the end of a two-day siege in a Brooklyn sporting goods store. The end came late Sunday afternoon, over 47 hours after a silent robbery alarm alerted police who surprised the young gunmen in the store.

One patrolman was killed and two others wounded in a flurry of gunfire. After the initial shootout subsided to a standoff, police ringed John Al's Sports, in Brooklyn's Williamsburg section with sharpshooters. But fear for the hostages prevented any forced showdown and police concentrated on keeping communications with the gunmen. The break came shortly before 1 p.m. Sunday when the hostages, led by a co- owner of the store, broke through plasterboard to a sealed off stairway and escaped to the roof while the gunmen were diverted.

Four. hours later, following more negotiations with police and pleas from some relatives, the gunmen walked out. Two carried a stretcher with a third who was wounded and the fourth walked ahead. Police said reports indicated their marksmen had not fired a shot since the original gunbattle, although the gunmen had fired volleys from time to time. Brooklyn Dist.

Gilroy, the attempted murder of Patrolmen Jose Adorno and Frank Carpentier, kidnaping and weapons possession. Police said they were searching for a fifth man who was said to have been driving a getaway car when the robbery began about 5:45 p.m. Friday.

They said the motive for the robbery was to obtain guns, money. In a hand-written letter carried out by a doctor who attended the wounded gunman, the four described themselves as "servants of Allah" and said they were "expressing solidarity with all Muslims and oppressed people of the world. "We have nothing to lose and victory.and paradise to gain," they declared. "We will not give in to your demands, but we wil cobtinue to hold the hostages who are being wel treated and will not be hariped intentionally by us," Weather Takes Toll On City Streets Here City crews were out in force this morning trying to repair gaping holes left in Mt.

(AP) A new Southern Illinois University liquor policy went into effect on the Carbondale campus during the weekend. It prohibits possession or consumption of alcoholic beverage in any SIU building except those used for faculty and family housing.

Buildings in that part of the campus lying in Carbondale were covered by a city ordinance that forbids public consumption. Buildings in the county were not.

CARBONDALE, Dl. (AP) An attorney representing about 140 inmates of the Marion Federal Penitentiary says he will seek a full jury trial of a class action suit they have filed against prison officials. Arnold Jochums of the People's Law Office, made the statement Saturday. Judge James L. Foreman of U.S.

District Court rejected requests for preliminary injunctions against the officials. Inmates charge violations of certain constitutional rights, among them freedom of religion, access to courts, due process and freedom from cruel and unusual punishment. In a 21-page ruling issued last week after 60 days study of testimony offered during a preliminary hearing in Benton, Judge Foreman enjoined the officials only from some forms of mail censorship. Seeking $50,000 in damages for each inmate on grounds that acts, punishments and conditions of confinement deprived inmates of their riglits, the suit was filed after a mid- July woric stoppage at the maximum security facility. Officials confined inmates they felt were most troublesome in a segregation unit.

Minor violence followed. In his opinion, Judge Foreman said prison officials were faced with "outright mutiny" and had to take "prompt and effective action to restore the prison to normalcy." Generally, his decision holds that the prisoners' rights are more limited than those of the average citizen "by the compelling needs of the prison authorities for security and re- habUitation." Jochums said he was disappointed but not surprised at the rulings. His office, he said, will soon petition for a hearing to move for a jury trial and will appeal some or all of Judge Foreman's decision.
