DALLAS, June 5. (U.R) -— Two
escaped convicts, Walter LeMay
and C. M. Murshon, were captured
today at the end of a three anil
one-half hour manhunt in whieh
airplanes and police on' horseback,
on foot and in automobiles par-
ticipated.
Inspector of Dective.s Will Fritz
said the men had confessed to
looting the towns of Hubbard and
Goolidge last week. At that time
some 15 stores were burglarized
in the two small towns.
Fritz said approximately $2,000
in cash had been recovered and
police were continuing to question
the men.
LeMa\), 34, and Murshon,
are the last to be retaken of 15
men who broke from Retrieve pri-

The men wire sighed by pol-

A 05-mile an hour race ensued, 1
with police firing at the convicts.
The race ended when the fugi-
tive's automobile skidded from
the road and careened into a va-
cant lot.
LeMay leaped from the car and
ran through the heavy weeds and
brush.
Murshon and his companion
came out of the ear with their
hands up.
Police called for aid in the search
for LeMay. Texas Rangers and
county police joined the manhunt.
