Convict Killed In Attempt To Escape Eugene C. Rumpa, 18, of Detroit Mich., who was serving a three-to-five-year sentence for larceny, was shot and killed about 10 o'clock Friday morning when he tried to escape. Officials of the Macon county state prison camp said that Rumpa, with other prisoners, was engaged in graveling a road in the West's Mill section, about 12 miles from Franklin, when he ran in front of a state highway truck as it start ed away. A guard, Harry Ray, fired a warning load from a shot gun, but Rumpa continued in flight. Then, it was stated, James Mc Call. another guard, fired three shots at the convict from a .38 calibre pistol from a distance of 200 yards. The third shot took effect m the forehead just as Rumpa turned his head to look back. He died instantly. A cononer's jury held that Rum pa was killed while trying to escape and that the guard fired in the performance of his duty. Rumpa, the son of Mrs. A P.
