INTERNEES FLEE; ONE IS KILLED

ROSWELL, N.M., Jan. 14.--(AP)--One prisoner was killed and another wounded of a trio of internees who escaped from the Roswell Internment Camp here last night, Col. Murray F. Gibbons, commanding officer of the camp, announced today.

Colonel Gibbons issued the following statement:

"Sometime last night after 5 p.m., three prisoners escaped from the Roswell Internment Camp. They attempted to steal a car near Artesia. The owner of the car killed one of them, slightly wounded another one. The two living prisoners were taken into custody by the civil authorities at Artesia, who notified the camp authorities of their action. We sent to Artesia for them, took them back into custody and they are now in our hands."

Mark Fanning, a farmer living 11 miles southeast of Artesia, was identified by an Artesia deputy sheriff as the man who killed one of the prisoners and captured the other two, holding them until officers arrived from Artesia. Artesia is 43 miles south of Roswell.

The deputy sheriff said the capture took place on the Fanning farm about 10 p.m. last night.
