Oklahoma City Times-Journal: For
criminal foolishness, physical bravery
James Salyer, who escaped from the
county jail few days ago, ranks as the
prize In this country. Saiyer, from ali
the cireumstantiaI evidence that was
brought out in his examination. was
shown to have murdered his friend, VIII
Davis, about two miles from Arcadia.
in a deep ravine some months ago. He
was confined here until he secured an
opportunity 70 dig his way out OF the
jail by tunnelng under the foor and
made his escape. It would have been the
act Of a wise criminal to have left the
country at once, but Salyer is made Of
different stuff, and went from here as
he escaped back TO the scene OF his crime
and committed another crime. The story
Is interesting. Salyer got out of the jail
at night, on foot he made his way to
the ravine. whore Davis was killed and
in the afternoon of the next day he
was seen by two persons that knew him
to enter q field about q half mile from
the scene Of his crime and with a bride
that he had stolen he caught a horse in
the field ana mounting X rode away. The
stolen horse has been traced with him to
several points in and around the scene
OF his first crime, but Salyer has not
been caught AS soon as the horse was
stolen, Sheriff O'Brien and Deputy Web
Jones were notified and they have been
on the trail OF the criminal ever since,
but his capture has not vet been re-
ported here. They expected 10 get. him
Sunday, and possibly did. but no word
has reached here. Howard, one OF the
thieves that escaped, was reported TO
have been captured at Luther yesterday.
and officers have gone there after him
and will return tonight. The man ar
rested answers the description closely.
No report has been received from the
other prisoners that escaped
