TEXAS LADS
ARRESTED
Are GUILTY

q reckon you had better send us
to the reform school for about five
years." said Raymond Brown when ar
rested yesterday together with Walter
Simpkins by the sheriff's force. The
statement came in answer to a ques-
ton by the officer as what the lads
actually thought should be done to
them.
A confession preceded the recon-
mendation for five years, in which was
set forth the why and wherefore Of
the case. The boys, IA and Is years of
age, respectively, hail from Gaines
vile, Texas, where they We're in bad
with the county officials. "Oh, we
were just UP for general meanness
until be stole the sacks" said Simp-
kins. Then followed a story of how
they had been watched by the sheriff's
force at Gainesville and had given
plenty Of trouble, winding uI the prop
osition by stealing bunch of grain
sacks and selling them. For this Of
Tense they were arrested, tried and
sentenced to the reform school, bur
were paroled and requested to report
at the sheriff's office every Monday
morning until time came to take them
to the reformatory. They made their
reports for some weeks, but a few days
before the time came, they made a
/ 'fly-by-night" exit from Gainesville
landing in Purcell, Okla, only a few
days ago. From that point they walk
ed to Chickasha, arriving here yester
day.
Their very appearance aroused the
suspicious of Undersheriff Foreman
who traced them to a house in thf
Frisco addition and brought them tC
the county bastile. Their confession
was drawn from them piece at time
The Grady county officials have com
municated with Gainesville and arr

sition to make of the pair.
