Other Prisons.

ANADARKO, Okla.-John Weems,
escaped convict from the state peni.
tertiary at McAlester. who was re.
captured at Fort Cobb, Jan. in an
robbery, sawed his way through the
Caddo county Jail here early today and
escaped with two other prisoners.
Posses were Immediately formed
and began a search for the prisoners
but late this morning no trace Of them
had been found. Mystery surrounds
the method by which tht, men obtain
ed the saws with which they severed
the bars Of their cells and the lock
on the front door of the Jail, according
TO J. F. Cox, Caddo county sheriff
Weems is Bank RObber
Weems, at the time of his escape
from the penitentiary was serving a
six year term for bank robbery in
Caddo county He has not yet been
tried on the attempted robbery OF the
Fort Cobb bank charge.
The Two men who accompanied
Weems in his break for liberty were
Lee Williams and Arthur Thompson.
The former is also credited with an
other escape from confinement, his
first break being almost identical with
the one this morning, when, with
two other men, he sawed his way
through the Caddo county Jail while
waiting TO be taken to the state penl-
tentiary to begin n five year SEN
tence for automobile theft.
Thompson was awaiting trial in dis
trict court on a charge of automobile
theft.
Tried Daylight Act
Only a stray slug from a shotgun
shell fired at him by n posse, pre-.
vented Weems from accomplishing one
of the bodest bank robberies in this
section for years. After three weeks of
freedom after his escape from the
penitentlary. he walked calmly into
the Washita Valley Bank at Fort
Cobb in midafternoon, Jan. 3, and,
after holding up the bank officers and
customers. forced the cashier into the
vault and made off with approximate.
ly $1,000 in currency.
As he was entering an automobile
on the outskirts OF the town, how.
ever. posse of citizens tsgan firing
on him and n spent missile struck
him behind the ear, rendering him
unconscious. The injury proved TO be
only minor flesh wound.

Driver Thought He Was
Being Held Up.

PONCA CITY.-Mrs. Georgia Bouz-
man, wife Of Kaw City barber and
Mrs. Dick Skinner Of Kaw City, are

Quoting an Investigation as the re-
suit of the double killing at $3.50
o'clock last night on the Kaw City

and Dick Skinner, driver of the car
and husband of the dead woman, they
passed two cars parked at the side
of the read near Washunga, near
Kaw City. A man on the running

Skinner to stop. the woman said.
Skinner speeded the car, believing,
according to the Bliss woman, that
they were being held up by hi-jackers.
The other car. which contained offic-
ers, approached the Skinner car and
opened fire, it is said. The first shot,
according to Mrs. Bliss, killed the
Bousenian woman and the third struck
Mrs. Skinner. Skinner then stopped
the car. she said.

Finney said, three at the ground and
two at the wheels. The latter deflect-
ed and struck the women, he said.
Finney this morning went to New.

nation to President Millerand at the
Elysee Palace after making a lengthy
statement before the chamber of de.
puties, justifying his attitude at the
Cannes conference.

"As far as / am concerned" he
said, II am merely making these ex.
plantations to you and do not ask

Frances security. Take 1t or leave It."
The premier next turned TO the
subject OF the Genoa conference.
II is inadmissable." he said, that
