g?i . .a-^ggggg?? Desperadoes Die In Suicide Pact * V .1 .i Houston, Texas, Jan. 5.?Harry and Jennings Young, Oxark mountain desparadoos, stood too to too today and kiHod each other rather than submit to certain capture. Thus ended a four-state hunt for the two men. who last Saturday killed eix peace officers * who had surrounded their "fortress" near Springfield, Mo.4 The execution of their dramatic suicide pact fulfilled a prediction by their aged mother, that "those boys will never be taken alive. I hope I hear they have committed suicide." On a tip that the Young? had hidden in a cottage, Chief of Pelrce Percy Heard and LieuU Claude Beverly. with a large squad, heavily armed, surrounded it. With the precision of soldiers they hurled blinding gas bomb* Into the house. In a few momenta there was a shout; - * "Come anil get us?-we're dead/' Then the sound of shooting within. The pVdict* closed in on the cottage, battered their way inside, and stumbled over the bodies. Jennings, lay in a pool of blood, riddled with shots from Harry's f32 calibre gun. Harry, gasping out ha life, but still conscious, had received two wounds in the head and chin ~ from Jennings' .41. . Two members of the murder i? gang, believed to he ( harles (l're{ty ?- I toy) Floyd, notorious killer, and Hay Darker, Oklahoma outlaw, are still at large, In the few minutes of life remaining to Harry Youn^t the police tried to force him to tell where his companions were. He died with grimly t'ight lips, refusing to talk. The tlacking down of the Young brothers, more desperate than any of the old-time bandits?even the JflineH boys?began when the men fled from their fortified farm through a tunnel, escaping a posse that had been formed of Missouri citizens. An ambuscade had accounted for the death of Sheriff Hendrix, of Springfield, and five of his fellow officer*, who tried to capture Harry on a murder warrant charging him with killing a Republic, Mo., town marshal. Hack in Springfield two women were told of the suicides. They were Mrs. Willie Young, mother of the two men, who has been in a Jail cell since Sunday with other members of the Young family. "They were all 1 had," she sobbod, and then, in almost incoherent babble, she added, "I prayed to Cod they would never be taken alive." The second.woman was Mrs. Maud Hendrix, wife of Sheriff Marcel Hendrix, one of the victims. She, too, burst into tears. "Oh, I'm glad they're dead," she cried. "I'm glad they're dead, but it doesn't bring Marcel back to me."
