The car was said to have been traveling at a rate of approximately 85 miles per hour and apparently after the fusilade of shot, the car careened into an embankment at the left side of the road and was wrecked.

Barrow was wanted for a dozen killings and was regarded n- one of the most dangerous killers, shooting at the bat of an and fleeing in fast automobiles. Bonnie Parker was charged by officers with participation in most of Barrow's later crimes.

Officers said she was as quick on the trigger as her associate and was just elusive. For offi- leers in several states were prepared to shoot Barrow and his companion on sight. Barrow broke into the police records in when he was arrested in Dallas for an automobile theft. Jn 1930, still holding the reputation ns a small time he was sentenced to the Texas penitentiary for burglary and theft.

Slaying Confirmed To Dallas Sheriff DALLAS, May (IP slaying of Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker was confirmed in a telephone call today from Ted Hinton, deputy sheriff, to R. A.

Clyde and Bonnie were billed by Deputy Hinton and Deputy Bob Alcorn who, with two former Texas Rangers, had been keeping watch on the supposed rendezvous near The report received here said that the couple drove up to the hideout at 9:15 and when they saw the officers, they drew their guns but before they could shoot, the deputies and the former rangers felled them with a burst of gunfire. The deputy said the scene of the killings was the home of a relative of the Barrowe. The officers had been hiding near the place six weeks, taking up their post soon after being commissioned to track down the desperado pair, dead or alive. Sheriff Schmid left at once for Shreveport to join Lee Simmons, superintendent of the Texas prison system at Huntsville. Schmid telephoned SitAmons to tell him of the slayings.

The two former Rangers a4ding the deputies were Frank Hamer, former captain, and M. T. Goss. Simmons employed them six weeks ago and instructed them to devote their full time to the hunt. Louisiana Governor Notified BATON ROUGE, May 23.

North Corsicana Missionary Society In All-Day Meeting North Corsicana Missionary Society members meet in an all-day session Tuesday at the parsonage. The morning was spent in quilting. At the noon hour a covered dish luncheon was served cafeteria style.

The table was beautiful in white with low arrangement of nasturtiums blue bowls at the center. It being Rev. birthday, Sister W. F. sented him with a large white cake which was served to the guests with ice-cream in the afternoon.

We are hoping to celebrate many more birthdays Nbw Bonnie and Clyde are the Barrow gang, Im sure you all have read How they rob and steal, And how those who squeal, Are usually found dying or dead. i There are lots of untruths to their write-ups, They are not so merciless as that, They hate all the laws, The stool pigeons, spotters and rats. They class them as cold-blooded killers, They say they are heartless and mean, But I say this with pride That I once knew Clyde When he was honest and upright and clean. But the law fooled around, Kept tracking him down And locking him up in a cell, Till he said to me, will never be free, So I will meet a few of them In This road was so dimly lighted There was no highway signs to guide, But they made up their minds If the roads were all blind They wouldn't give up till they died. The road gets dimmer and dimmer, Sometimes you can hardly see, Still its fight, man to man, And do all you can, For they know they can never be free.

If they try to act like citizens And rent them a nice little flat, About the third night they are invited to fight By a sub-machine gun rat-tat-tat. If a policeman is killed in Dallas And they have no clues for a guide; If they can't find a friend They just wipe the slate clean And hang it on Bonnie and Clyde. Two crimes have been In America Not accredited to the Barrow mob, For they had no hand In the kidnaping demand Or the Kansas City Depot job. A newsboy once said to buddy, I wish Old Clyde would get jumped. In this awful hard times might make a few dimes five or six Laws got The police got the report, yet, Clyde sent a wireless today Saying, have a peace flag of white "We stretch out at night, have joined the NRA." They think they are too tough or desperate, They know the law always wins.

They have been shot at before But they do not ignore That death was the wages of sin. From heartbreaks people have suffered, From some people have died, But take it all in all, Our troubles are small, Till we get like and Clyde. Some day they will go down together, And they will bury them by side. To a few it means grief, To the law it's relief, But it is death to Bonnie and Clyde. to Arcadia.

miles east of the scene of the killing. Their riddled car was being brought here. The car bore a Texas license. The shooting, according to the Arcadians, Occurred about six miles west of the old Mt. Lebanon community, once the center of great educational and religiour activity, and about 2 1-2 miles from Sailes.

Bank Robbery Tip, Jordan of Bienville Parish said he had received a tip that the First National Bank of Arcadia was to be robbed Wednesday or Thursday and notified Texas officers. Sheriff Jordan said the pair came from Benton, yesterday afternoon and passed through Gibsland about four or five in the afternoon and again this morning shortly before the killing. In the group of officers who awaited the pair on the highway were: Sheriff Jordan, his deputy, Paul M. Oakley, both of Bienville Parish; former Ranger Captain Frank Hamer of Austin; Bob Alcorn, a member of the department at Dallas, Texas; B. M.

Gault, Austin, member of the Texas highway officers department, and Officer Hinton. The officers were stationed in a ring on top of a hill. The officers were concealed in high grass over a distance of about half a block when they sighted Barrow's car approaching the bill. There were two trucks on the Castor-Glbsland road, going in opposite directions. Serve As Shield.

These trucks served as an extra shield against discovery by Barrow and his companion, who were first fired upon by Deputy Sheriff Oakley. He used a shotgun loaded with buckshot and fired quickly after ordering Barrow to stop, which warning Barrow Ignored. Barrow opened a door of the car evidently to fire a sawed-off shotgun which he held in one hand but Deputy Oakley and the five other officers who immediately joined in the shooting were too quick. Sheriff Jordan said it was possible Barrow or the Parker woman fired one time, each of them holding a sawed-off shotgun when the shooting occurred, but the officers had not examined their weapons sufficiently to establish this fact. Barrow's car after moving about half a block from the point where Deputy Oakley opened fire went into the embankment but was not seriously damaged, except for one wheel, which had been shot purposedly, and the body of the car, which was pered with missiles from the guns.

Car Traveling South. The Barrow car when the shooting started at the top of the hill was traveling south from Gibsland, having come from Arcadia through Gibsland. It had also passed through Mt. on to a point about two miles from Sailes. The bandits were heavily armed, Sheriff Jordan reported.

They carried three machine guns, five automatics, seven shot guns and the two sawed off shot guns they were holding when the shooting began. They also carried three large bags of ammunition and some which were- in a bag and bore the name of a sandwich shop in Arcadia, at which it was learned the Parker woman during their short stop for the sandwiches had borrowed a comb. The bandits assertedly came eaat yesterday, having been seen at Benton, La. Officers Prepared. The officers who killed the bandits, were prepared for desperate maneuvers on the part of Barrow and the woman and were themselves heavily armed.

They had one machine gun, three shot guns loaded with buckshot and five automatic rifles and used all these weapons in their bombardment of the car, riddling their victims and rendering them immediately powerless to use their firearrris. So thorough was the riddling of the bandit and his woman companion that portions of their flesh was buried in the sides and back of their car. The woman also had one hand virtually off. Her head was slumped to her knees after the her position indicating she had sought either to dodge the fire or else to bring her gun Into action when killed. body was on the car wheel.

Coroner J. Wade ordered the bodies moved to Arcadia for an inquest, with instructions that the bodies remain in the bandit's car until the inquest. Both Barrow and the woman were instantly killed, Barrow being through the left temple and through the left shoulder. The Parker woman was shot through the mouth, Her teeth being knocked out and through the neck. The fingers of her right hand were shot off.

The bandits were killed on what is known as the Jamestown-Sailes road, about eight or ten miles from They were en route, officers believe, to a rendezvous they are believed to have had at a place known as Alabama Bend near Ringgold. They were traveling in a Ford I Exactly weeks after the intensive search was made in known Navarro county haunts of the elusive Clyde Barrow and his companion, Bonnie Parker, a special detail of State Highway Patrolmen were summoned back to Austin Wednesday after making their headquarters of operations in Corsicana during that period. On Tuesday, April 3, Navarro county was searched from border to border by a large party of patrolmen augmented by county and city officers. Numerous relatives of the outlaw and other points were visited and a large number of persons believed to be acquainted with the killer were given intensive periods -of questioning. Traps Laid Here.

Acting on tips of various kinds, have been laid in several sections of the county and at other points within a hundred mile radius of Corsicana. Hundreds. of miles were driven to secure information, all with little success. After the first Intensive sweep over the county, strong groups were placed at strategic points over the state and the Corsicana detail was made up of Field Inspector W. D.

Roberts, formerly stationed at San Antonio, and Patrolmen Ross Dickey and Bill Hargett, who had been previously stationed at Corsicana. They were later joined by Patrolman Ralph Rohatch, and about ten days ago Rohatch was transferred to Tyler and Patrolman Pat Nulty was stationed in Corsicana. Had Narrow Escape. It may be revealed now that the automobile found bullet-shattered near Gladewater about three weeks ago was occupied by Patrolman Nulty who narrowly escaped death in a gangland trap. Nulty waa engaged In undercover work, and posing as a car thief had become semi-friendly with several Barrow acquaintances and associates near Glade- V-8 sedan which officers said bore Arkansas license plate 15,368.

Both car and license are believed to have been stolen. The bodies, after being viewed at the scene of the killing by Dr. J. L. Wade, coroner, were left in the car just as the officers found them after the shooting and were taken to Arcadia, the r-edan being hooked to a wrecker truck.

Big Crowd Gathers When the bodies reached Arcadia a crowd of approximately 2,000 milled about the car to get a view of the bodies. Barrow, when shot, fell over to the left of the car. His head hung from the left hand window of the front seat. The Parker woman was slumped forward and her head between her knees. She had on glasses.

Dr, J. L. Wade, immediately after the bodies reached Arcadia, empaneled a coroner's jury which undoubtedly will bring in a verdict that the two came to their deaths from gunshot wounds inflicted by officers acting in line of duty. Miss Sophie Stone, Lincoln parish home demonstration agent of Ruston, and H. D.

Darby, Ruston undertaker, who were kidnaped April 24, 1933, by a group believed to have been Clyde Barrow, his brother later killed by officers, Bonnie Parker and an unidentified woman, viewed the bodies at Arcadia and identified them as two of their captors.

NJML SURGEONS FIND APPENDIX RUPTURED COLON, Panama, May Albert Robinson, stricken with appendicitis in the Galapagos Islands, was reported alive and holding his own at 12:05 p. E. S. T. today.

LOS ANGELES, May Naval surgeons who made a 1,000 mile emergency flight to aid William Albert Bobinson, stricken sea adventurer, waited today in lonely Tagus Cove in the Galapagos islands for the arrival of the U. S. destroyer Hale. After examining Robinson as soon as they arrived alongside his small ketch, late yesterday- Lieut. Commander Rollo W.

Hutchinson and Lieut. Oscar D. Yarbrough, expressed the opinion the adventurer's appendix had broken. spreading peritonitis. In wireless messages relayed here, they said they considered an immediate operation inadvisable and would await the arrival of the Hale which left the canla zone about the same time their two naval seaplanes took off for the islands.

The surgeons planned to put the adventurer aboard the war craft and speed him back to Balboa, operating en route if necessary. The Hale expected to reach Tague Cove about 6 a. m. (Pacific Standard Time) today. water, including Billie Parker, sister of Bonnie and now in jail in Fort Worth.
