By Hal Armstrong MAYNARDS, Port Discovery Bay, March 31.—Trapped within a wooded tract scarcely more than 10 acres in area, the three bandits who have been terrorizing the Port Townsend peninsula for the last week have reached the end of their rope and their capture, dead or alive, is expected within a few hours. Under the leadership of three different sheriffs—Matt Starwich of King, | Phil Chase of Jefferson, and William Nelson of Clallam—a posse numbering more than 200 men has been thrown around the region and is slowly, inevitably |tightening on the fugitives. The manhunters are almost elbow to elbow—not literally, of course, but so close together that it would be impossible | | for a rabbit to crawl in between them. The triumvirate of | | sheriffs believe their long chase will be brought to a close pe- fore nightfall. But the capture is not expected to be a tame affair. With the blood of three men on their hands, one of whom has died from his wounds, in addition to the robbery of the State Bank at Sequim | of $20,000 and the hold-up of a log- ging camp here, the fugitives know that the gallows loom ahead of them if they are captured, expected to figh CASE OF KILL OR BE KILLED Known to be heavily armed crack shots in the bargain—the sal peradoes will put up a desperate bat Ue before they submit, and the man- hunters are pressing forward, con- vineed that, if they sight their prey, it will be a case of elther kill ar be killed. Augmenting the human forces of the three sheriffs are two bloodhounds, brought to the scene this morning by Sheriff Starwich, who flew with them from Seattle in Eddie Hubbard's mail plane, after receiving news after a desperate battle last night.
