How He Turned Bandit.
He himself has told the story of his
criminal career and it's beginnings
and told it well. He says that soon
after his term as county prosecutor
expired he went to Woodward Okla
homa, to visit his father. At the
Judges house he got into a dispute
with Temple Houston, son of General
Houston.
Jennings always said that he in
tended to patch up his differences
with Houston in the morning, but
that night he and his father were
aroused by the cry of neighbors that

were acquitted.
Al and Frank then took up their
residence at the spike s. Rranch,
twenty-five miles Southeast of Tulsa,

down those they believed to be their
brothers murderer. They were not
successful.
one night Al rode up to his fathers
house to find that he had been
charged BY political opponents with
robbing train. He refused to face
his accusers, saying that it would be
impossible for him to prove that he
was at the Spike 5 ranch the night

cal enemies would get him.

The next morning he was fired on
by a storekeeper and a group Of men.
He drove them off with his Winches-
ter and became an outlaw in earnest
He went back to the store of the man
who had led the firing party and
robbed it. getting $3.50. After that
he organized the Jennings gang and
