Will Face Gang Alive
New York, Jan. 17,-Through a.
newspaperman, Robert ElUott Burns
twice a fugitive from Georgia, has
issued a challenge to authorities to
return him alive to the cheingmrg.
The Brooklyn Eagle reporter whose
interview with, the fugitive was pub-I
fished -yesterday, said he talke
Burns, but was careful not to reveal
where the interview had taken pU
He said the meeting had been
"within 1,000 miles of New York
He said Burns had resolved to die
I rather than go back to the chamgwg
to finish his six to ten year term
for robbery. .
' "They can send a casket to
chaingang with me, Burns ia quoted.
"I'll kill myself before HI let then*
t?icpt ?v? beck. Georgia will not # ?
me alive." . t
The reporter said Bums gave bw
the impression, however, that he
would not be likely to take hie ewn
life, despite his words.
The courage of Burns as a soldier,
and his grit in climbing bade te respectability
after escaping the first
time from a Georgia prison camp,
would lead him to carry on, the new*paperman
said he was convinced after
chatting wjth the fugitive.
New York city is shy on money, and
the big bankers have notified the city
administration that it can get no
more money Until it begins to economise
