BOY BANDITS WHO ESCAPED FROM TRAIN ARE CAPTURED
ONE LAD HAS LEG INJURED
SENATE IS EXPECTED TO RATIFY COLOMBIAN
PORTLAND, April 20.-(U. P.)- "Harry only had on his birthday clothes. I had on a pair of B. V. D.'s, but there was not much left of them when I hit the track and skidded a ways."
Thus Jimmy Milner, 16 years old, alleged auto bandit, jailbreaker and stick-up man explained the latest sensational escapade of himself and pal, Harry Hoffee.
The boys, handcuffed and leg ironed, escaped from the U. S. marshal by jumping from a train in the Siskiyou mountains early yesterday, but were recaptured and brought to Portland today.
"We sneaked out of the vestibule while the Marshall was asleep and threw his pants and coat off the train which was going pretty fast. It was a scary proposition to jump, being hooked up like we was. We could not jump at the same time so I went first and Harry did not jump soon enough so I hurt my leg bad," said
