The leader Of the gang was Sherman. but
Male did most OF the headwork and is said
10 have planned the larger robberies. He
was the smartest Of the outfit and was
able TO keep out of the clutches of the
law longer than the others. The Okla
homa officers have been after Male con-
tinuany for the past six months. but as
soon as they could get him located at one
place he would disappear and they would
have to search for him again. AT the
time he was alternating between Kansas
and Oklahoma, going as far as Kansas
C-ty and down to the Cherokee Nation.
About three months ago the authorities
at Salina thought they had captured Male.
and so informed Sheriff Annis at still
water. Sheriff Annis was positive that
the Salina suspect was not Male. but he
furnished the Saltwater papers with a
clipping from a Saina paper. stating that
ne was Male and was then in the Kansas
penitentiary. This statement fen into the
hands OF Mole. who then threw or his
Disguise. under the IMPRESSION that the
officers would mt bN looking for him. and
he was easily located and captured.
