COLORADO DOOMS KANSAS ROBBERS Eads, Colo., April 28 (AP) - The three Manter (Kan.) bank robbers, John Walker, Andrew Halliday and Claude Ray, Monday were sentenced to be hanged by District Judge Samuel D. Trimble, after he overruled a motion for a new trial. The execution was set for the week ending Aug. 9. The three were found guilty of slaying Undersheriff Carol Hickman of Kiowa County. Undersheriff Hickman was shot by the trio after the holdup of a Manter bank. The three men fled into Colorado after the holdup and then doubled back after shooting Undersheriff Hickman, and were captured across the Kansas State line.
