months ago with 5000 belonging to
former Governor Haskell's newspa-
/ per. the McAlester Herald, he thought
I he was able to hide his tracks. He
might have been, but when he finally
reached Utica, New York. in the
course of his travels, he decided in his
own mind that it was no go, and gave
himself up to the police.
He told the story to w. b. Anthony
Governor Haskell's business assOci-
ate, from his cell in the Pittsbrrg
county Jail today, to illustrate the
old adage. that "the wicked flee when
no man pursueth.'
Kinds came to Oklahoma from Chi
cago. worked a short while on the
Guthrie State Capital, later on an
Oklahoma City morning paper and
then accepted the managing editor

McAlester. \ few weeks later, early
in the summer, he collected all the
outstanding accounts available and
blew"
As he told it, he went first 10 st.
Louis and was given a place on the
St Louis Post Dispatch. As soon as
his name was known, he was reported
to the Oklahoma officers and had to
move on. Reaching CHICAGO, he visit
ed the Press Club and the first thing
that caught his eve was posted bul-
letin, hearing his picture and de-
scription with a reward offered for
his arrest. From there he went by
stages. to Syracuse Buffalo, Rochester
and finally to Utica. There he got
iob in a newspaper office.

began to read copy. The first thing
that struck my eye was 'McAlester-
